It explores the techniques, tools, and methodologies used to collect, analyze, and derive valuable insights from data, catering to the growing demand for data-driven decision-making in various industries. 

The course focuses on teaching individuals how to use SQL Server product features and tools related to implementing a database server. This training provides students with the technical skills required to write SQL queries. This course on SQL Server is the basis for all various roles related to Data Science like business intelligence, Data Scientist, Big Data Developer, Database Administration.

This course on Data Visualization and Reporting is designed to equip participants with the essential skills and knowledge needed to effectively utilize Microsoft Power BI for data analysis and visualization, combined with a strong foundation in statistical concepts and techniques. It provides a comprehensive understanding of both statistical methodologies and the practical application of Power BI for making data-driven decisions. After completing this course, students will be able to create reports, KPIs and dashboards using Power BI, the latest reporting technologies, and methods. 

This course covers the most important step in Business Intelligence; the preparation of the data for: analysis, reporting, data warehousing and mining. In this course, we use SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS), a component from Microsoft SQL Server Database Software that is used to implement a wide range of data migration tasks. SSIS is a graphical, fast and flexible data warehousing tool used for data extraction, loading and transformations like cleaning, aggregation and merging data from a variety of sources such as: SQL Server Databases, Oracle, DB2, Azure, Excel, Text, CSV, Json, XML files etc. 

In this course, students will acquire the knowledge of multidimensional and tabular data models by using SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS). The course will help students learn dimensional modelling using Star/Snowflake/Hybrid schemas to create DataMart and data warehouses. These are used by the stakeholders, clients and/or businesses for deep analysis and data mining. It is a unique way of representing the data using different dimensions very quickly, effectively and with minimal code. 

This course is designed to teach students how to integrate themselves into the Canadian job market. In 4 short classes, we look at the kind of mindset that is needed to be successful in the job search process, how to shape the CV and cover letters, we practice interview skills, and much more.
