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 Business Intelligence and Data Analytics Certificate with Continuing Studies at the UVic was a challenging and comprehensive experience that taught me valuable skills in data analytics, visualization, and coding. The professors were fantastic and supportive, and I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to develop their data skills.
