“I work as a Business Analyst at Citi and chose the Level 3 apprenticeship to align with the data I already work with. The Data Champion pathway was a perfect fit for the type and volume of data I handle daily. I was particularly interested in tools like Power Query and Tableau as my reporting shifted from Excel spreadsheets to dynamic dashboards, allowing me to drill into data in real time.

Five months into the programme, I’m looking forward to the data visualisation module. For my portfolio, I’ve been working on real tasks from my role, making the learning process practical. I wasn’t familiar with statistical analysis, but Decoded arranged a one-on-one call with a specialist, which was incredibly helpful. Before the apprenticeship, I had used Excel but never Power Query. Now, I see how much time it saves compared to the manual methods I previously used.”
