Certification Overview
Why this learning path is structured this way
The Data Analytics Intermediate Path is structured for learners who need more than spreadsheet familiarity. It moves into SQL, dashboarding, KPI logic, and Python-backed exploratory work so students can explain not just what a tool does, but how an analyst thinks through a reporting problem. The path also includes two portfolio-oriented projects to make interviews easier to handle.
Bridges Excel comfort to SQL, Power BI, and Python without overwhelming beginners
Builds real reporting logic around business questions and KPI storytelling
Includes two projects for portfolio proof and recruiter-facing visibility
Prepares students for a stronger jump into the HCDAP-aligned professional track
