Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are integral to this course as they provide hands-on experience with data analysis tools and techniques. Learners will apply theoretical concepts to real datasets, ensuring they can clean, analyse, visualise, and interpret data effectively. These sessions reinforce learning and build confidence in using BI tools.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Data Cleaning and EDA with Excel — Learners clean a messy dataset (handle missing values, remove duplicates) and perform exploratory data analysis using Excel PivotTables and charts. (4h)
• Practical 2: SQL Queries and Regression Analysis — Learners write SQL queries to extract and aggregate data from a sample database, then perform linear regression using Python or Excel. (4h)
• Practical 3: Dashboard Creation with Power BI — Learners import a dataset into Power BI, create measures, and design an interactive dashboard with filters and visualisations. (4h)
• Practical 4: End-to-End BI Project — Learners work on a comprehensive case study: from data extraction and cleaning to analysis, visualisation, and presentation of actionable insights. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
