🧾 Course Requirements: Data Analyst

✅ Prerequisites (for Learners)

These skills and knowledge will help ensure a smoother experience for participants in a Data Analyst course:

• Basic Understanding of Mathematics and Statistics
• Comfort with foundational concepts in probability, statistics, and mathematical concepts like mean, median, standard deviation, and hypothesis testing.
• Basic understanding of descriptive statistics (summarizing data) and an ability to interpret data patterns.
• Basic Programming Skills (Optional but Helpful)
• Familiarity with at least one programming language, especially Python or R, is beneficial for data manipulation and analysis tasks.
• Python is the most common language used in data analytics and is recommended for learners.
• Basic Excel/Spreadsheet Skills
• Ability to work with Excel or similar spreadsheet tools. Skills in pivot tables, formulas, charts, and data visualization are essential for an entry-level data analyst.
• Basic Knowledge of Databases and SQL
• Understanding of how data is stored in databases and some basic familiarity with SQL for querying databases (SELECT, JOIN, WHERE, etc.) is recommended.
• Ability to extract data from relational databases or data warehouses.

No advanced coding or data analytics experience is required, but the basics of Excel, programming, and statistics will greatly enhance the learning experience.
