About the Course


This course is designed to give a learner the end-to-end knowledge on Data Science, Business Intelligence, Data warehousing, Analytics, Big Data, Data Modeling, Dimensional Modeling and SQL. This course is best suited to those who want a complete exposure to these technologies and want to start or accelerate their career in this hottest field of IT.

So how is this training different from other Industry courses? Our course is refreshing and unique in its approach because we are following the two most important principles:

  1. We provide only industry relevant knowledge; things which are endorsed by industry veterans.
  2. We give tool knowledge but we also provide basic understanding behind data science and BI. We believe in providing a great foundation with theoretical aspects and then develop the usable skills by training on tools and technologies.

Most of the training courses in market are focused on BI tools only; tools are no doubt necessary to start a career in BI but they limit the growth only to a coder level. To grow in your career you would need a right foundation to build upon and acquire new knowledge and skills. A good foundation will give you an unfair advantage over other starters.

Upon successful completion of this course , you will receive a certification known as "BIWHIZ CERTIFIED BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE PROFESSIONAL".
