Previous data cleansing knowledge is required. We recommend the Data Management Foundations Certificate. Additional prerequisites may include other data cleansing courses, programs or equivalent real-world data cleansing experience.
Students should already be comfortable using a data analytic tool (such as Power Query or Power BI) to perform data manipulations, aggregations, and calculations as well as be able to problem-solve and troubleshot using the tool.
In addition, a well-prepared learner will have basic statistics knowledge, basic visualization building and basic data model and dashboarding knowledge.
While the focus is on the Microsoft suite of products, this program is designed to be tool agnostic, meaning, you can use your preferred tool, software and/or method to complete the activities. This is not a software tutorial program. It is expected that you have a good command of at least one tool.
