In Advanced Data Visualization and Reporting, you’ll build the skills to turn complex data into clear, interactive dashboards, reports, and stories that help people make better decisions. This course is designed to feel different from a traditional course. Instead of moving through content in a fixed order, you’ll learn through the kinds of skills and job tasks you would see in a real data analytics, business intelligence, or reporting role.

You’ll start by checking what you already know, then focus your time on the skills you want to strengthen. If you already have experience with a topic, you can move ahead. If a skill is new to you, you can review targeted lessons curated from expert instructors. Each lesson is selected to help you build a specific workplace skill, so your learning stays focused and practical. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to build and improve BI dashboards, design reports that are clear and responsive, and communicate insights through effective visualizations and data stories. These skills can help you prepare for roles such as Data Analyst, Business Intelligence Analyst, Reporting Analyst, Analytics Consultant, or Dashboard Developer.

Start here to learn how this skill-based course works and find your recommended starting point. You’ll take a short, ungraded diagnostic to check your current skills, then decide whether to go directly to the graded skill assessments or review targeted learning content first.
