Al Mawred Training & Consulting

Certified Data Analytics Professional (CDAP)

Organizations that leverage data analytics are 23 times more likely to acquire customers and six times more likely to retain them, according to a Forbes report. Additionally, McKinsey estimates that data-driven organizations are 23 times more likely to outperform their non-data-driven counterparts in terms of customer acquisition. Data analytics, rooted in statistical principles dating back to Ancient Egypt, has witnessed an exponential surge in recent times due to globalization and technological advancements. With an estimated 2.5 quintillion bytes of data generated daily globally, organizations increasingly harness data to drive strategic decision-making. This surge has led to the emergence of specialized roles like data analysts, data scientists, and data engineers. This course equips professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the core concepts of data analytics, the various stages of the data analysis process, and the diverse methodologies employed for data analysis. Moreover, participants gain proficiency in visualizing analysis outputs through charts, graphs, and plots, enhancing their ability to derive insights from data effectively.  At the end of this course, participants will be given the opportunity to sit for the globally recognized “EXIN Data Analytics Foundation” certification.   PrerequisitesNone — open to managers at all levels
