What Past Participants Say
“
However, my first few days working with Dr. Wilson and the online course opened up an entirely new vista to the use and meaning of data analytics and in particular Power BI. My exposure to data analytics and Power BI was a novel, interesting and eye-opening experience. I end by saying thanks for sharing a little of your vast knowledge, and I would surely take another course where you are the facilitator.
“
I must say that prior to joining this cohort I knew nothing in reference to Power BI. The training was streamlined and I was able to follow along even though I was a complete novice. I am now able to apply these skills whilst carrying out my duties, curating data and presenting it in a professional way. Most recently, I was able to create a dashboard which the Eastern Division Regional Commander utilized to present statistics revolving around Major Crimes, to the Minister of Home Affairs and Enterprise here in Belize.
