Data & Analysis Course
Part of the Foundations of Public Administration curriculum, our Data & Analysis course is designed specifically for policy professionals and civil servants. This course empowers you to:
- Help produce policy recommendations that are underpinned by robust data analysis
- Become comfortable with open data
- Contribute to more effective decision-making across the Civil Service
Rather than turning you into a data analyst, our aim is to give you the confidence to present the results of data analysis effectively to decision-makers. By understanding the processes of data collection and analysis, you will be better equipped to act as an 'intelligent' customer—bridging the gap between data experts and strategic decision-makers. Although tailored for policy professionals, the insights provided are valuable for a wide range of roles across the Civil Service.
Flexible Learning Options
Choose the learning format that best fits your department’s needs. Whether it’s exclusive departmental training, public tutored sessions, or digital-only self-paced courses, our options provide the flexibility required for today’s dynamic environment.
