At the conclusion of this course, participants will have gained hands-on experience in analyzing real-life data. The best part: we encourage participants to bring in their own data and use it for each topic and exercise. Participants who cannot or choose not to bring in their own data will be provided data to work with..
Topics covered in class are relevant to all levels of experience. Our instructors simplify complex topics and present them clearly and concisely. Case studies and in-class exercises allow the participant to combine and utilize concepts learned during the course.
