    Hey, looking for some advice on part time data analytics courses. I have two offers which I am weighing up at the minute ; a level 8 higher diploma in data analytics from CCT college and the level 9 postgraduate certificate in fundamentals of data science from TU Dublin.

    My background is in finance/economics and current job involves a large amount of spreadsheet analysis and I'm looking to develop skills in programming/data visualisation etc. to pursue a career in data analysis/science. I also have experience in econometric research for a part time masters which I recently finished.

    Obviously the qualifications are different with the postgrad cert being level 9 vs the level 8 higher diploma. Also the postgrad cert is only 30 credits vs 60 for the higher diploma so not sure if this means a large difference in terms of course content? Be great to get any opinions from anyone familiar with the courses as to which one is the best option.

    What course did you go with? I'm doing Applied Data Analytics in LYIT. Was going ok, now I've to pick a subject to do a dataset on. A bit overwhelmed.
