To become a data analyst, you need skills in SQL, Excel, Python/R, data visualisation tools like Tableau or Power BI, and strong statistical knowledge. Problem-solving and communication are equally important. Enrolling in a Data Analytics course helps you master these skills with structured learning and hands-on projects. To further enhance your data analysis skills, go beyond basic learning by understanding how data supports real business decisions. Strengthen your statistical knowledge by learning probability, hypothesis testing, regression, and predictive analysis. Become comfortable cleaning, transforming, and validating data, as real-world datasets are often messy and incomplete. Stay updated with emerging technologies such as AI-driven analytics, automation, and machine learning integration.
