An Introduction to Data Mining and Story Telling with Data in Excel

Firebrand Training are supported by some amazing partners in our employers, from Apprenticeship Leads to People Directors to L&D Managers, and we want to give something back.

This Sprint is a live peek behind the curtain at some of the excellent learning delivery that our Data apprentices receive, while also being applicable to your own roles.

Our Head of Curriculum for Data, Sean Rafter, will demonstrate how to use Excel to find patterns in data, and how to visualise those patterns to help communicate with stakeholders.

This is a Sprint not to be missed so book your place today!
