  I joined to get better at building dashboards. The practical exercises on building data pipelines were exactly what I needed. The SQL practice sets were tough in a good way.

  Well organised. Revisiting the building data pipelines part a second time really helped it click. The end-to-end case study tied cleaning, analysis and presentation together nicely.

  Clear structure from data visualisation and dashboards through to exploratory data analysis. I'd like a few more practice tasks, but overall very useful. Finally understood which chart to use when — my reports look far more professional.
