Data analytics

    I've been looking through Data Analytics courses available through Springboard. A lot of them seem to be for people from a numerate background, which is fair enough, but this one says that it's for graduates who aren't from numerate/technical/scientific backgrounds https://www.ait.ie/courses/hdda.

    What I'm wondering is if anyone has experience of this course and how worthwhile it might be in a jobs market. Thanks for reading.

    Thanks for this... I fit the description of someone whose job has taken them haphazardly towards analytics, I've no formal qualification in the area. I think I might sign up to this it would benefit me in my current role. I think it would be no harm to have something like this under the belt.

    Don't want to be negative - qualifications earned through hard work, application and study are great.

    Two questions to consider: (My opinions in brackets.)

    Will a HDip be enough to convince an employer in this field? I would be looking for a Master's. I think this is debatable and some employers might be happy enough.)

    Will this be ripe for an AI takeover in 5 yrs? (I think AI will rule in this area very quickly.)
