“This course is Analytics On The Go for business professionals.”

“Hi, I am Simona G., and I live and work in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In 2014 I was considering a shift from all-round B2B Marketing to a more ROI, data-driven Marketing role. I was not only fascinated by the business insights generated by my Business Intelligence colleagues, but I also came to realize that I would love to use my quantitative and analytical skills to their fullest. So, when Data Analysis came out as the skill needed to fill in the gap, it took me a good couple of weeks of internet search to eventually choose Aryng´s Business Analytics and Testing online module. This online course is really great. Piyanka and Mukul dive into the dry statistical methods and apply them directly to real-life scenarios and cases, such as a travel agency, online gaming company, e-commerce company Umzon, and Shamzon. The hands-on Excel walk-throughs are a wonderful practical tool. The cases focus as much on the business briefing process and actionable recommendations rolling out from the analysis as they focus on the data handling and analysis itself. There is brief reference to the tooling available when it comes to data warehouse management, reporting and visualization and Marketing automation. Last, but not least, following these modules I got a context to place the data analysis as very specific skill. Some of the online study hours I experienced as real consulting sessions with professionals in Big Data Analytics. They come with those do’s and don’ts which are crucial to effectiveness in a role as a Data Analyst. What I personally appreciate is also the fact that Piyanka is accessible and responsive in the communication during the course. I warmly recommend the Aryng online courses.”

“Aryng’s self-paced, online training is a worthwhile substitute for the in-class experience. The training platform allows for a very engaging and varied learning experience through video lectures, short (informal) quizzes, and interactive screens to select your answers after completing the case studies/exercises, which are great for learning application. For each case study, the instructors carefully explain the data analysis methodologies and techniques they used to solve the business problem and quantify impact!”
