No programming is required.

This course will walk you through the process of setting up a custom Copilot using Copilot Studio.

You can think of a Copilot as being your own personal chatbot expert on a topic of your choice.

Copilot has some advantages over Custom GPTs such as providing easy access to data hosted in Microsoft Cloud locations such as SharePoint, and providing better access controls to keep your data private.

No programming is required.

In this course you’ll learn how to set up your own computer to run a range of Open-Source Large Language Models (LLMs).

This course provides an introduction to the fields of Data Analysis and Data Science. The aim is to introduce key concepts and ideas, foster an interest in the subject, and give attendees an appetite to learn more. Along the way, students will learn how to find and present interesting stories from a dataset.

You may have the skills to analyse data, but can you convey your insight to others?

This course teaches the three key skills that you'll need to turn data analysis into convincing actionable insight: data visualisation, storytelling and presenting.

Time will be split between learning the theory and putting it into practice, with numerous real-world datasets to analyse, visualise and stories to present.

This course covers the key tenants of the GDPR and the EU AI Act. Students will consider how both pieces of legislation might affect their organisation, their organisation’s customers, and how they themselves might be impacted as employees.

Most people who manage Data Projects lean on their prior knowledge and experience of managing projects within their organisation. But perhaps it’s time to consider if there’s a better way?Most people who manage Data Projects lean on their prior knowledge and experience of managing projects within their organisation. But perhaps it’s time to consider if there’s a better way?

In this course we’ll ask students to reflect on how they currently manage data projects, and introduce them to a range of techniques and methodologies that are specifically designed for managing data projects.

Students will be set an assignment to reflect on the merits, strengths and weaknesses of each, before returning to the group with recommendations for how they’d manage a Data Project within their organisation.

Effectively implementing Data Management and Data Governance procedures is vital if you are trying to improve the reliability, accuracy, quality, and, ultimately, the trustworthiness of the data in your organisation.

This course will help you on that journey by:

• Setting out guiding principles to follow

• Sharing commonly used frameworks for you to adopt

• Providing case studies that allow you to analyse how other organisations have successfully adopted good Data Management and Data Governance practices.

Excel has always been a useful tool for Data Analysts, but in recent years Microsoft has been bolstering that capability with new features for data analysts that make it an incredibly capable but often overlooked tool.

This course aims to teach a range of techniques for analysing data with Excel, using a range of features, new and old. You'll use Excel to analyse and find the stories in the data, visualise the data in a format that's easy to understand, and present it to others.

Whether you are new to statistics or simply haven't used statistics in a long time, you'll enjoy this course.

We start by assuming you've forgotten any statistics you learned at school, and we'll build you up from there.

Worried that your maths isn't up to scratch? Don't worry, Excel will do the heavy lifting!

Throughout the course, you'll encounter a wide range of problems, analyse real data, and draw often-surprising conclusions using the statistical techniques you'll learn along the way.
