Course overview
Data Analysis is how you stop being the person who ‘knows Excel’ and become the person a company trusts with the numbers. Teams are hiring analysts who can clean a messy file, ask the right question and put a dashboard in front of a director. This cohort is built so you leave with that proof — and a stronger case for pay, title and roles that are no longer limited to one city.
Why the market wants this
Reporting, operations and finance teams across Lagos, Abuja, Kano and remote employers keep asking for Excel, SQL and Power BI in the same vacancy. The seat goes to the person who can share a screen and explain a number.
Why enrol on this intake
Every month you stay ‘the Excel person’ is a month someone else is hired as the analyst. The next reporting cycle will not wait until you feel ready.
Enrol nowWhat you stand to gain
Pay
Analyst and reporting titles are advertised above general admin and operations pay. You walk in able to show the work.
Leadership
The person who owns the number is invited into the decision, not only the data dump.
Promotion
A capstone dashboard is something a promotion panel can look at. ‘I use Excel’ is not.
Remote and international work
Dashboards and SQL travel. Remote analyst roles hire on the file you can open, not on the office you sit in.
Trigger
A vacancy that asks for Excel, SQL or Power BI — and you cannot open a dashboard in the interview. Your team already treats you as ‘the Excel person’ with none of the title or the pay. A reporting pack is due and you are still copying cells at 11pm.
What you lose by waiting
Every cohort that starts without you is a portfolio you do not have at the next interview. Analyst seats go to people who can share a screen and explain a number. You keep doing the work for free in your current job while someone else is hired to do it officially.
Why now
Physical seats in Abuja, Lagos and Kano are not infinite. Virtual is not infinite instructor attention. The next reporting cycle will not wait until you ‘feel ready.’
Why this programme
The work you will be hired to do.
Organisations are drowning in spreadsheets and starving for people who can clean, question and present them. This cohort is instructor-led Data Analysis for the Nigerian workplace: Excel you actually use on Monday, SQL that joins the tables nobody documented, Power BI that a director will sit through, and a capstone dashboard you can put in front of a hiring manager. We do not teach you to decorate charts. We teach you to answer a business question without hiding behind a formula.
Career changers who already live in Excel and want the job title to catch up.
Operations, finance, HR and project professionals who are the unofficial ‘data person’.
Graduates who need a portfolio, not another theory course.
What you will walk out able to do.
- Frame a workplace question so the analysis has a decision at the end of it.
- Clean, join and query data in Excel and SQL without breaking the source.
- Build a Power BI report a non-analyst can read in five minutes.
- Tell the story: what changed, why it matters, what to do next.
- Leave with a capstone pack you can walk through in an interview.
How the cohort is taught.
- 01
The question before the tool
What counts as a useful analysis. Metrics vs vanity. How Edge Line Tech Academy frames a brief the way a manager actually talks.
- 02
Excel as a workplace instrument
Tables, lookups, pivots, cleaning, and the habits that stop a file becoming a liability.
- 03
SQL for people who must get the data themselves
Select, filter, join, aggregate. You stop waiting for IT to export the same CSV twice.
- 04
Sense-making
Distributions, comparisons, and the few statistics a business meeting actually needs. You will know when a number is lying.
- 05
Power BI and the room
Model, visualise, publish. Dashboards that survive a sceptical director.
- 06
Capstone reporting pack
A live-style brief from question to slide. Feedback until the story holds.
