Data Analytics Python

Curriculum
OVERVIEW
Harness Python Programming and Advanced SQL to tell compelling stories with data. Build
confidence and credibility to power insight-driven strategy on the job.

This course will teach you how to use large data sets to make critical decisions. This program
was created for analysts, digital marketers, sales managers, product managers, and data
novices looking to learn the essentials of data analysis. You’ll use industry tools to analyze large
real-world data sets and create dashboards and visualizations to share your findings. Data
Analytics culminates in a portfolio-grade presentation of your analysis and insights to your
classmates and instructional team.

PREREQUISITE
This is an advanced course. If you are new to advanced data analysis, your Admissions officer
may recommend that you take our Data Analytics Beginners Course. Our Beginners course
walks you through Excel, SQL and Tableau

The course also requires:

● Your own laptop (PC or Mac). It must be no more than four years old and able to run the
most recent operating system.
● If remote, a webcam, headphones, and good access to the internet are

required. CAPSTONE PROJECT

The Capstone Project spans the entire duration of the program (12 weeks) in which students
pursue independent projects on a question or problem of their choice, subject to approval from
Nautika.

Students are strongly encouraged to choose a project

1. that has 70%+ relevant topics covered within the program,
2. in which the availability of data is 70%+ certain.

This is to ensure the project can be completed within the stipulated period.

The capstone project is both a valuable intellectual experience and also a vehicle through which
students can demonstrate their competency to prospective employers.
Note: Completion of the Capstone Project is a requirement for graduation.Each project is
designed to provide hands-on experience with as many data analytics concepts as
possible.

Our instructors will be available to validate the feasibility and manage the scope of your

project. DURATION
