Data Visualization Skills for better Data Storytelling- Online Course Available Now

Are you a data analyst or a data scientist that needs to showcase the results of your data analysis? Are you a consultant, a business intelligence professional or report developer that needs to produce graphs, dashboards, and reports? 

Data and the insight, hindsight, and foresight that you produce are so much more valuable when they are visualized. That we can all agree on. Without that visual representation, it can be hard for the audience to grasp the true meaning of the findings and the story that is conveyed. 

But one needs to be aware that creating a less than great data visualization, can have dire consequences on how your work is interpreted and what decisions are drawn out of the data.

So where can you start to acquire these skills from? 

Acquiring this equivalent level of teaching at university or other higher education institution can cost you anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 plus the cost of required reading. Not to mention the time commitment. You can also opt to get private or corporate coaching from other industry leaders in this area, but that ends up costing more than $20,000. 

This online course gives you practical knowledge and best practices to develop better data stories through better data visualizations, with a much less investment of time, money and energy.

Once you complete these lessons, you will be able to showcase your data visualization and data storytelling skills on your resume and become the expert that organizations are looking for.
