What’s the Data School Down Under About?
Over this time, we have seen Tableau and Alteryx growing incredibly fast, the largest organisations in Australia have been adopting these technologies for increasingly ambitious projects – ambitious in both scale and complexity. As a partner of both Tableau and Alteryx, a key role is to help ensure this momentum continues.
That’s why in 2018 we have launched The Data School Down Under. We are building on the success of The Data School in London, where for the past three years recruits have been trained to become the next generation of great data analysts and consultants, gaining real-life experience in organisations such as Coca-Cola, Virgin Atlantic, KPMG, and Jaguar.
The Data School Australia is taking applications, from anyone looking to embark on a career in data. We have three new cohorts per location.
In Sydney, the starting dates are in April, August and November.
In Melbourne, the starting dates are in February, June, October.
We provide four months of focused training from some of the best trainers in the world, led by our Australian head coach, Craig Dewar, to give students a deep understanding of how to store, manage, prepare and visualise data.
Once trained, graduates of the Data School are available for industry placements at clients using Tableau & Alteryx.
We are looking for prospective students who have a passion for data and a desire to learn. You don’t need to have a particular degree or background.
