Data Analytics - Professional Diploma Graduate profile

“The course was challenging but incredibly well-designed. We had online classes, and the assignments were opportunities to practice what we learned. The professors were always available to support us. I took it very seriously and learned so much. I stated on my LinkedIn profile that I was completing a course in data analytics at UL, and I was looking for work. So many recruiters reached out to me and offered me jobs. I could actually choose from the many options available.

I wanted change as I’m in the same job and dept for 15/16 years. Since I added this course to my LinkedIn profile, I’m being contacted by recruiters at least once a week for Business Analytics (BA) roles because all employers now want DA skills as part of it. BA and PM roles now need these skills, and they recognise it now. Amazing the interaction since I put this course on my LinkedIn. Originally, I said I wanted to move out, but this has really reinvigorated my current role.

The way the course is designed it’s led by the tools. I found the modules good; DA has been good, the tools and the pace has been good, self-learning is good not time-constrained, do it at your own time. A very flexible approach that works well, lecturers have been v approachable. It almost feels like a regular classroom with their availability through email, or a scheduled Teams call. These short courses are a great benefit to industry.” Read Diego’s story here
