Skills Bootcamp in Data Analytics

***Please note that enrolment for the July cohort of this programme is now closed. However, we still encourage you to apply and we'll be in contact as soon as we offer a new programme.

Skills around collecting, sorting and analysing data have never been in greater demand - the average salary for a data analyst in the UK is £55,000 (Talent.com). And whether you're just starting your career, or you're hoping to change career paths, learning data analytics skills can be the key to unlocking new and rewarding career opportunities. Skills Bootcamps can be a great way to achieve this.

Skills Bootcamps are free, flexible courses of up to 16 weeks, giving people the opportunity to build up sector-specific skills and fast-track to an interview with a local employer.

Partnering with New Anglia LEP and the Norfolk and Suffolk County Councils, Cambridge Spark are offering job seekers and working professionals an 8-week Skills Bootcamp in Data Analytics fully funded by the  Department for Education (DfE). Considered a "pathway to accelerated apprenticeship", learners who successfully complete the programme will secure an interview for a new role in data analytics, in addition to acquiring the prerequisite skills for an advanced apprenticeship in data science.
