Data Analytics and Research Immersion Course
This course is for both
ambitious, forward-thinking professionals starting in a data driven insight or analysis role (e.g. business analyst, big data analyst/ report writer, market insights specialist, researcher, data scientists, business intelligence analyst), and
students interested in a progressive, supportive and valuable course to acquire analytics and research skills for their data driven research projects.
Why "Immersion" Course?
This course takes you beyond the walls and limitations of a classroom where you learn from a prescribed textbook for an exam!

You will be taught and guided by a leading professional in Analytics and Research who fully immerses you in a real analytics/ research project, where you apply new skills and knowledge instantly. You will produce real and valuable outputs, all in a safe and fun learning environment!
A course that produces successful Analysts and Researchers. Globally!

I completed the course in 2018. It was really useful for my career and did not feel like school at all. The hands-on learning approach kept me going and learning all the time. My professor was very good in guiding and facilitating us through a really complex research and analytics project. Highly recommended.

Prof. Markus Klose

He has vast experience in data analytics and has taught various research and analysis courses at universities and training providers in the US, the UK, Germany and New Zealand.
About his teaching approach he says "I don't believe in a typical university teaching approach, where the professor lectures and hundreds of students are listening, trying to make sense of the lecture to pass a theoretical exam. If you really want to learn something you need to do it, and be fully engaged."

He is a Member of the Institute of Directors, a Member of the Research Association of New Zealand, and a Fellow of the Canadian International Institute for Advanced Studies in Systems Research and Cybernetics.
