Mindgrid Academy · beginner track
Go from spreadsheets to SQL to dashboards — and get certified as a job-ready junior data analyst.
Every business in Lagos, Nairobi, and Accra is drowning in data and starving for people who can turn it into decisions. This course takes you from absolute beginner to job-ready junior analyst along the exact path employers test for: Excel, SQL, and dashboards. You will work with realistic African business data throughout — a Lagos fintech's transactions in naira, an Abuja logistics startup's delivery routes, a Nairobi retailer's sales — so nothing you learn is abstract.
You start by thinking like an analyst: framing sharp questions, separating real metrics from vanity numbers, and running the question-to-decision loop on real scenarios. Then you build serious Excel skills (SUMIFS, XLOOKUP, pivot tables, charts), move into SQL from first principles through JOINs, CTEs, CASE WHEN, and window functions, and finish by designing interactive dashboards and presenting insights that non-technical managers actually act on. Every lesson ends with a hands-on practice task, and by module five you will have genuine portfolio pieces.
Pass the 20-question certification exam (70%, unlimited retakes) and your certificate is issued automatically — proof, for recruiters and clients, that you can do the work and not just talk about it.
