How the educational workshops work

No computers are needed for the training and you will receive all needed materials.

The workshop is non-technical and does not require previous experience in data analysis. I will teach you principles that you can use in any technology.

If you need advice or help beyond the workshop, we’ll set up a time for a BI consultation.

Some of my clients also come to us for data coaching in a long run, gaining international-level know-how that is not available anywhere else.
