Udacity Business Analyst Review

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenging time for many of us, but it also provided an opportunity for me to explore new interests and career paths. One area that particularly caught my attention was business analysis. As I researched different avenues in the tech industry, I found myself drawn to the world of data and how it can be used to drive business decisions. That's when I stumbled upon Udacity, an online education platform that offers a wide range of tech-related courses.

I learned about Udacity from Teneika Askew, a tech enthusiast who shares valuable resources on social media. I was particularly drawn to Udacity because of the scholarship opportunity that they offer in partnership with Oneten. Oneten is an organization that supports underrepresented groups in technology, which is great for individuals who want to learn more about business analytics like myself.

In the Udacity Business Analyst Nanodegree Program, I gained expertise in utilizing statistics and visualization techniques to uncover and convey insights. I honed my Excel skills for data manipulation, analysis, and visualization. Additionally, I developed the ability to create Excel models for analyzing potential business outcomes. Furthermore, I learned to utilize SQL for extracting and analyzing data from databases. Lastly, I learned to apply design and visualization principles to create impactful data visualizations, build data dashboards, and effectively communicate data through storytelling.

The course material was helpful and the interactive quizzes solidified the concepts. The hands-on experience from the projects was a great way to apply what I learned. Additionally, the weekly sessions with session leads were a great way to get answers to any questions I had. The career session was also a great pairing, going through interview prep, resume, cover letter, Github, LinkedIn, personal branding and how to network with individuals.

Overall, the program was great and the support and communication was spot on. Everyone helped where they can and celebrated others progress and achievements. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn more about business analytics and for the support of Udacity and Oneten in helping me achieve my goals.
