What was your background before enrolling on the course?

My name is Edwige N Cho, and I have just over ten years' experience in strategic consulting in the telecoms and media sector.

How did you hear about the School of Data?

I've decided to do a Data Analytics course because I'm looking for a career change. I want to combine my consulting skills with new data skills to become a data consultant. Now, it's very rare to do strategy consulting assignments without being confronted with the client's data problems, so I need to add these skills to my background (AI, programming language, data manipulation and data visualisation) in order to be effective during my assignments. These are the jobs of the future.

What did you enjoy during your data analytics training?

The course enabled me to learn all the fundamental skills of a data analyst. Both in mastering programming tools like SQL and Python. But also in creating data pipelines, cleaning and transforming databases, as well as the whole data visualisation side of things, to put the data into perspective for better decision-making.

During the course, you're immersed in the Artefact consultancy, so you can meet and talk to data experts (data analysts, data scientists and data consultants) who work on international customer challenges on a daily basis. I was able to ask all my questions about their jobs, project management and tips on the latest data tools in vogue. Thanks to the training, I've gone from using Excel exclusively to mastering all the data tools that are essential for being agile and productive on assignments. I'm now able to clean, process, analyse and predict data.

The big advantage of the course is that I have a mentor with me throughout the bootcamp. He's a data expert from Artefact who's there to guide me, answer my questions about my career choices and help me with the interviews. I'm very happy with this course, which I'd recommend to anyone who wants to embark on a data career. It's intensive but professional, and we work on real cases encountered by the world's biggest companies.

What are your career plans?

My plan is to become a Business Analyst or Data Consultant to combine my experience in strategic consulting with my new skills in data analytics.
