Data, Analytics & BIPCED: Certified Entry-Level Data Analyst with Python
PCED: Certified Entry-Level Data Analyst with Python from the Python Institute shows that you can use Python to collect, clean, explore and summarise data and present what you find clearly. It suits new analysts, students and professionals in any field who want to move from spreadsheets towards reproducible analysis in code.
There are no formal prerequisites, though basic Python helps, and you sit a single multiple-choice exam online. Our preparation course takes you through the analysis workflow with real datasets, from loading and tidying data to simple statistics and charts, then works through practice questions in the exam style.
