About this course

A hands-on introduction to analysing data with Python. You'll work with messy, real-world datasets from the first lesson: cleaning them, reshaping them, and turning them into charts and a short report you'd actually hand to someone.

What you'll learn

  • Load, clean and reshape real-world datasets with pandas
  • Handle missing data without breaking your analysis
  • Group, aggregate and summarise data confidently
  • Build charts that communicate a finding, not just plot numbers
  • Put together an analysis report you'd hand to a stakeholder

The instructor explains the 'why' behind everything, not just the 'how'.

I appreciated how honest the instructor is about trade-offs instead of pretending there's one right answer.
