Springboard data science courses

Yellow_Blue

Hi Guys,

I am looking for recommendations for Spring Board course in Data Analytics.
I am currently working as a functional project Business Analyst and my education to date is Business Information systems with some basic Web-development add-ons

( thanks to springboard)

I am looking into adding some hands-on experience using BI and Data tools like Tableu etc
I am less interested in soft-skills and business oriented modules as I have plenty of that at work/ my previous degrees.

My main question is : which Dublin School would you recommend: CCT, Dublin Business School , National College of Ireland?

How to even pick up a course, e.g these 2 look pretty similar to me , list of modules , is almost the same.

I'd really appreciate is someone help me to get my head around.

Snap. I'm thinking of doing one of such courses but there are quite a few. The CCT course that is co designed with Microsoft is interesting as it would hopefully open a few doors into industry. Anyone have any feedback?

Bit late to this thread so not sure if I'll get a reply. Did anyone end up doing one of these courses? If so how did you get on since?

My application this year was rejected for "over qualified".

I guess I'll have to say that to the dole office if I end up there, over qualified in an industry in decline and prevented from upskilling by the government.

Government still seems to be there primarily for the people who get up in the afternoon... sometime...

Aw man that's ****. Didn't know they could reject you for being "over qualified".
