The Skills Gap Data Science Course is a great experience which I would definitely recommend. It takes you through some valuable skills, from cleaning and manipulating data in Microsoft Excel, to visualising and presenting data in a professional manner in the software Tableau. For me, Excel was already a familiar software, yet the course leaders taught us new techniques I did not know about that were great time-saving tricks. This included the v-lookup function and pivot tables. Tableau was a software that I had never heard of before, but, with the instructors help, I realised just how easy it was to manipulate and visualise data using this software, and how useful it could be in any future work I did. Certainly, the skills I learnt in this course will prove invaluable during my time at university presenting and analysing data. Furthermore, I recently got offered a placement for my Gap Year concerning data science and engineering in the railway sector. I had talked about the Skills Gap course in my interview and believe that it definitely helped me get the placement. Finally, I would like to say a word about the instructors - they were really helpful, patient and friendly. It made the course not only a great learning experience, but also just a fun thing to be a part of.
