What is the course.
In any data based role, the importance of simple, effective and impactful data visualisation is becoming ever more important.
As data visualisation plays a bigger role in everyone's daily lives (think from Business Reporting to Sports Broadcasting, Journalism to Utility Bills), the importance of getting it right is becoming even more key and a way to differentiate and elevate your outputs.
This course is designed as an introduction to Data Visualisation. In the course we will introduce 'what is Data Visualisation' and the role it plays in Data Science. We will then step through a range of different visualisations, increasing the awareness and knowledge for delegates on when and how to use them.
We'll then conclude with an introduction into how you should present your visualisations within your data stories, exploring best practice and ideas to elevate your content and maximise your impact.
