Python for Analysts in the Public Sector
3 days|Delivered on request
Python for Analysts in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including data modelling, statistical fundamentals and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because most organisations have more dashboards than decisions that depend on them, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with spreadsheet controls, data governance and forecasting techniques in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve spreadsheet controls within their own organisation, measured against dimensional modelling practice
