About the course

Most analysts know SQL, Python, or Power BI - but still struggle when the problem is vague, the data is messy and stakeholders expect clarity.

That’s the real-world gap this course fills. Beyond queries and dashboards, you'll learn to think like a strategic problem-solver.

In this live, hands-on accelerator (limited to <20 participants), you'll master the entire analytics workflow: framing ambiguous problems, asking the right questions, structuring analysis, writing SQL with business context, and crafting narratives that drive action. You'll work through real-world projects and multiple problem-solving case studies, developing the mindset of a top-tier consultant. This isn't about learning tools but about learning how to think, solve and influence. The focus will be on real-world application.

You'll also receive personalized mentorship from me, including 3 mock interviews to accelerate your career growth.
