Proficiency in structured query language (SQL) is fundamental for anyone working with data. Used in organizations large and small, learning SQL will prepare you to quickly query raw data and transform it into meaningful visualizations using tools like Tableau to help you make business decisions.
This certificate program is designed to help you analyze data in a relational database and develop your understanding of the relationship between SQL and data visualizations. You will use SQL and fundamental database concepts to create a normalized database, manipulate the data within the database, and extract the data from the database, discovering how to convert business questions into SQL queries that extract answers from your data.
After developing your skills working with databases, you will take raw data and create robust data visualizations using Tableau. You’ll explore a wide variety of charts and learn how to select the best chart to convey the meaning in your data. This combination of being able to both work with and present data to key stakeholders will prepare you to bring value to any data-centric organization.
You will be most successful in this program if you have an understanding of basic statistical concepts.
