Frequently Asked Questions

What is the class schedule and format?

Classes meet once or twice weekly in the evening (typically 6:30-9:00 PM) or on weekends (Saturday mornings or afternoons). This schedule accommodates working professionals who cannot attend during business hours.

Each session combines instructor presentation with hands-on practice. Participants work individually and in small groups on exercises using provided datasets. Between sessions, participants complete assignments to reinforce concepts and build proficiency.

Do I need prior programming experience?

Business Analytics Foundation requires no programming background. We introduce R programming concepts gradually within the context of analytical tasks. Participants with no coding experience successfully complete this course.

Data Visualization assumes basic familiarity with analytical concepts but teaches visualization tools from fundamentals. Predictive Analytics Methods expects participants to have completed Business Analytics Foundation or possess equivalent statistical and programming knowledge.

What software or equipment do I need?

Participants need a laptop computer capable of running required software. We provide temporary licenses for commercial software (Tableau, Power BI) during the course period. Open-source tools (R, Python, RStudio) are freely available.

Detailed technical requirements are provided upon enrollment. Most modern laptops (Windows, Mac, or Linux) meet these requirements. We assist with software installation during the first session if needed.

How large are the classes?

We maintain maximum class sizes of 15-18 participants. This enables instructors to provide individual attention and feedback while supporting peer learning through group exercises.

Smaller cohorts facilitate meaningful discussion of analytical approaches and business applications. Participants often report that peer interaction enhances their learning experience through exposure to different industry perspectives.

Will I receive a certificate upon completion?

Participants who complete all course requirements receive a DataFlow certificate documenting the specific program completed. These certificates detail covered topics and demonstrated competencies.

While our certificates are not formal academic credentials, many participants include them on professional profiles and resumes. Employers familiar with DataFlow recognize our training quality and practical focus.

Can my employer cover the course fees?

Many participants receive employer support for professional development. We provide detailed course descriptions and learning objectives to support internal approval processes.

Organizations interested in training multiple employees may contact us regarding group enrollment arrangements. We have experience working with corporate training budgets and can provide necessary documentation for reimbursement requests.

What if I need to miss a session?

We understand that work commitments occasionally conflict with class schedules. Session materials and recordings are made available to participants who must miss a class.

Instructors can provide brief guidance during office hours to address missed content. However, regular attendance is strongly encouraged as hands-on practice and peer interaction are integral to skill development.

How do I register for a course?

Contact our team through the form on this website or by phone to discuss course options and upcoming session dates. We can provide guidance on course selection based on your background and objectives.

Once you select a course, we provide registration materials and payment instructions. Course fees are due before the first session. Space is limited, so we recommend registering early to secure your place in the cohort.
