What People Say About Us
A certified business analyst with over 5 years of experience. To transition from a process business analyst to a technical role, I lacked the required skills. Through Datakirk's data science program, I enhanced my proficiency in Excel, Power BI, SQL, and Python, leading to multiple interview opportunities and increased confidence in coding. Datakirk provides hope for career changers, bridging the knowledge gap in data analysis.
With a background in Computer Science, I completed my B.Sc. at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and pursued postgraduate studies at the University of Edinburgh, earning M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees. I joined Public Health Scotland as an Information Analyst. Enrolling in the PDA in Data Science program in 2022, I expanded my skills and knowledge, which significantly contributed to my promotion to Senior Information Analyst. I highly recommend the PDA in Data Science course for its comprehensive training, diverse tutors, and focus on technical and soft skills. Thank you, Datakirk, for this valuable opportunity.
