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.
