Overview
ICT professionals use a range of tools and technologies to process, transform, model, and analyse data to support organisational decision-making and solve business problems. In this unit, you will acquire practical knowledge of key data analytics processes, including data exploration, transformation, visualisation, dashboard development, predictive modelling, and AI-driven analytics. You will also gain hands-on experience with tools such as Power BI and low-code machine learning to prepare, analyse, and visualise data, and to generate actionable business insights through real-world case studies. The unit also examines the ethical, legal, privacy, and cybersecurity considerations associated with the use of data-driven technologies in organisations.
