I appreciated the content and straightforward format of getting started with Business Intelligence and Data Analysis program. It was so smooth that all of my worries disappeared in attending the first session.

I did appreciate and value that the instructor for BIDA301, Olga Gould, was very well prepared with different software platforms, sharing her knowledge with the students. Inviting other speakers to the class was remarkably interesting, making the course more dynamic- it allowed us to learn from their experience.

My goal of learning structural methods of doing Business and Data Analysis in a professional setting has been achieved with these courses as I learned to use tools like Tableau and coding in the R language. These subjects have given me a structured analysis format to build on.

I would recommend BIDA courses to business owners or private and public sector employees in any field, and to professionals who want to use these powerful tools to upgrade their skills.

Completing the BIDA program was a challenging and worthwhile experience that taught me valuable skills in data analytics, visualization and coding. The instructors were fantastic, supportive, and the content was comprehensive and well-developed. Thanks to this program, I was able to secure a role as a data analyst.

The BIDA program has been a transformative experience. The well-crafted curriculum played a vital role in completing my CompTIA Data+ exam. What truly distinguished this program was the opportunity to collaborate with my instructors and classmates. I can confidently say that UVic's program has provided me with a strong foundation to begin my journey in the ever evolving world of data analytics.

I thought that a certification in business intelligence and data analytics would be a valuable addition to my CV. Overall, my experience was good. I managed to learn something new in every session. I would say that the knowledge I walked away with was worth the time I invested. I have already been able to apply the data processing skills I developed during the course to my research work.
