Course Overview

Mastering Data Analysis in Excel certification is an online course that is offered with a collaborative effort of Duke University, and Coursera. The main focus of this  Excel to MySQL: Analytic Techniques for Business Specialization, 6 weeks course is only data analysis and not Excel. Excel along with mathematical calculations are performed but other intermediaries or advanced concepts like a pivot table in Excel are not covered.

Mastering Data Analysis in Excel training will help the candidates design and put predictive models to use. Later on, with this course, a participant will be assuming a business data analyst’s role in a bank. This will teach them to reduce default risks, and then maximize the profits of a bank in various ways. The curriculum is a mix of practical, and also theoretical ways that will help develop ideas related to their choice of business. Any data that the candidates are provided for their assignments will be completed only using MS Excel so that they get to practice, and become familiar, and fluent with business functions in Excel.
