Overview
Today, the ability to interpret and present information and drive data-driven decisions is no longer reserved for data scientists and mathematicians. In 2019, LinkedIn cited that data reasoning was the third most sought-after skill by companies. With over 2.5 quintillion bytes of data created each day, businesses are now more than ever looking to recruit business analytics talent to support their sustained growth.
At RMIT Online, we have a suite of courses to provide you with the skills to tackle the world of data analytics, which can be taken standalone or one after the other dependent on your desired outcomes.
If you’re seeking a foundational understanding of business analytics with the presentation and communication of data, we recommend starting with Business Analytics and Visualisation. If you’re looking to understand how to drive powerful analysis and predictions for your team or business, we recommend taking Business Analytics with SQL and Python.
For a comprehensive understanding of business analytics visualisations and predictive analytics, we recommend you take both courses. If you decide to take both, we encourage you to start Business Analytics and Visualisation, and then proceed with Business Analytics with SQL and Python.
Recognition
After completing an RMIT Future Skills course, you will earn an RMIT credential which can be validated, recognised and shared on social media platforms.
