HOW MUCH OF YOUR TIME WILL THIS TAKE?

If you play full on and participate in every session and apply every exercise to your own data? We estimate it will be an investment of between 2 to 3 hours each working day during the 4 weeks if you are an absolute beginner. Less if you are already using Tableau.

And if you have more time available? You will end up with a deeper learning experience and more results – and that is dashboards built to meet your needs, with our guidance.

If you can’t attend a session, or will take some days out, you should be able to play catch up or continue to attend the live sessions and catch up after the bootcamp, as you will have ongoing access to the material for 12 months.

⏭ The end result will be a Dashboard that you deliver, on your own data, that drills down to answer the root-cause questions.

You will be actively encouraged, on a daily basis, to apply the exercises to your own data and use cases for a deeper learning experience.

The full syllabus you cover is below.
