ABOUT THE COURSE

Data plays an increasing role in both organisational operations and our everyday
lives. Understanding key concepts in data science, including how and when best
(or best not) to apply them, should be cornerstone knowledge for those working
in public sector finance.

The CIPFA Certificate in Data Science explains how to work effectively with
data, unlock its value, and communicate insight – enhancing your career
prospects in the process. It offers the flexibility to learn at times that suit
you and requires around four hours a week of study.

This course is delivered by and was developed in partnership with the
Southampton Data Science Academy (SDSA), a partnership between the Web Science
Institute at the University of Southampton and Cambridge Education Group.

The course also complements CIPFA’s range of data tools. We hold the most
comprehensive, independent source of data about local government and its
services in the UK. Our CIPFAstats+, Social Care Enhanced Insights and Financial
Resilience Model provide the data-driven insights local authorities need to
support their decision-making.


WHO IS THE COURSE AIMED AT?

The course is aimed at professionals who want to develop the knowledge and
practical skills needed to work more effectively with data. You will learn how
to talk about data to those with, and without, technical knowledge.

Interactive exercises will enable you to experience real examples of the

coding skills are required, but ideally, you'll be comfortable using Excel.
