Interested in learning about data analytics? Let's take a free online course together in a welcoming space!

We will meet in-person every Thursday afternoon, February 6 - May 1 2025, 1:30-3:00 PM (12 sessions) at North York Central Library in Toronto, Canada. Note: There will be no session on March 13.

A learning circle is a study group, guided by library staff, for people who want to take a free online course together in a supportive and welcoming environment.

In this 12-week learning circle, we will work through The Data Analytics Essentials course from Cisco Networking Academy. We will explore the fundamental tools of a data analyst, including how to:

• transform, organize and visualize data with spreadsheet tools like Excel
• query data from a relational database using SQL
• improve data presentations using business intelligence tools like Tableau

Participants are expected to commit to the duration of the course and attend sessions on a weekly basis.

Learners who complete the course will be able to:

• earn a digital badge
• download a certificate of completion

Organizations all over the world recognize the value of analytics. Together, we'll learn about the essential tools used in this field.
