Coursera has launch of a series of five courses called Specialization on Data Analysis and Presentation Skills under collaboration with PwC. Under this partnership, PwC will offer a series of widely available courses for anyone who could benefit from learning more about business analytics. This collaboration will also allow PwC’s people to improve their internal learning and development. PwC is amongst one of the first professional services network to offer courses to their 208,000 employee strong workforce and to the general public on the Coursera platform.
The specialisation includes five courses i.e. data-driven decision making, problem solving with excel, data visualisation with advanced excel and effective business presentations with powerpoint. In order to earn a specialisation certificate, learners are required to complete a final Capstone Project that involves analysing a mock client problem and a data set to gain business insights, research the client’s domain area, and create recommendations and bring it all together in a recorded video presentation.
