Data-Driven Professional

Programme Overview

The Imperial College and Corndel Data-Driven Professional Programme is a 14-month programme (including End Point Assessment), designed for data users and professionals from a variety of corporate functions. It aims to develop the key skills needed to understand business intelligence and use data to inform decision-making.

Please note that our application process is geared towards organisations rather than individuals. We recommend connecting with your HR or L&D lead to explore how the apprenticeship levy can be used to enrol in this programme as part of a cohort.

Who is the Programme for?

Our programme is designed for individuals whose roles would benefit from building confidence in understanding organisational data and using that information to inform decision making. Typically, individuals are likely to use tools like Excel, or business intelligence systems such as Tableau and Power BI, to identify trends and relationships.

No prior experience in data manipulation or interrogation of large datasets is required.

Business Impact

By the end of this programme, you will be able to:

  • Make evidence-based decisions at all levels through a greater understanding of data.
  • Maximise the value derived from data analytics projects through a more informed use of outputs.
  • Efficiently automate manual, repetitive tasks to boost productivity, enabling a focus on more impactful work.
  • Improve the flow of information across the organisation through better communication of insights and data visualisation.
