Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a job after completing this program?

Data analyst roles are in high demand across every industry. Our curriculum covers the exact skills hiring managers screen for — SQL, Python, Power BI, and business metrics. While we cannot guarantee placement, graduates with strong portfolio dashboards and SQL proficiency are competitive candidates.

Do I need experience with programming or SQL?

No. This is a beginner-friendly program. We teach SQL, Python, and Power BI from absolute fundamentals. If you can use Excel and are comfortable with basic math, you are ready.

Is this enough to become a data scientist?

This program prepares you for data analyst roles. If you want to become a data scientist, this is an excellent foundation — you can follow up with our Data Science & Machine Learning program after completing this course.

Do I need to install special software?

We use Docker for SQL environments, free Python tools (Jupyter), and Power BI Desktop (free). Setup is guided in the first session.

How many hours per week should I dedicate?

Plan for 3-4 hours of live sessions plus 3-4 hours of practice assignments per week. Consistent practice is more important than long study sessions.

What if I miss a live session?

All sessions are recorded and available on the student portal within 24 hours. The instructor and TAs are available on Slack for questions.
