Why data analytics
A skill set in demand across every sector
Every organisation collects data, and far fewer have people who can make sense of it. Data skills are useful in almost any role and can open the door to a career with a clear path for progression.
Valued in almost every sector
Finance, healthcare, retail, logistics, marketing, sport: every industry sits on a growing pile of data and needs people who can make sense of it. Data skills do not box you into one field. They give you options.
A salary that grows with you
Entry-level data roles typically start at £18,000 to £23,000. As you build experience, data analysts earn around £42,000 on average in the UK, and senior and specialist roles pay well above that.
No maths degree, no problem
The maths involved in data analysis is practical rather than academic. Funded courses are built for people who can think logically and are comfortable with numbers at a basic level. You don't need A-level maths to start.
A clear path to keep progressing
Data is a career with a clear ladder. Start in a data-focused assistant or analyst role, build your skills with higher-level qualifications, then move into analyst, BI or data science roles.
The course
What you'll cover
Funded data analytics courses are designed to be practical from day one. Here's what most programmes cover, regardless of which provider you end up with.

03
Data protection and GDPR
How to handle personal data correctly and stay compliant with UK law. An essential part of any data role.
04
Analysing and interpreting data
The core statistical concepts used in data work, such as averages, trends and patterns, applied practically so you learn what you need on the job.
05
Data visualisation
Turning numbers into charts and dashboards that people without a data background can understand at a glance.
06
Communicating your findings
How to answer real business questions with data and present your conclusions clearly to colleagues and decision makers.

You could be closer to qualifying than you think.
Funded training isn't just for people out of work. Course providers in our network offer funded places to adults aged 19 or over, whether you're employed or looking for your next move.
No tech background
Many people starting these courses have no prior experience. Most courses take you from the basics through to job-ready level in a matter of weeks.
Currently employed
Plenty of learners train while staying in their current job. Many courses run part-time, with daytime, evening or online sessions, so you don't have to give up your income to retrain.
Currently out of work
Funded training is open to people who are looking for work too. It is a practical way to build new skills and get back into employment.
