Whether you want an alternative to uni or you’re looking to build your skills before your next step, INCO Academy’s Digital Certificates programme offers you the chance to learn advanced data analytics skills and specialise in Python, all online and self-paced.

Over four weeks, you’ll learn real-world skills through projects, online exploration, and coaching. You’ll grow your data analytics portfolio and develop professional skills like communication and problem-solving.

At the end, you’ll even unlock access to an exclusive, graduates-only job fair to give you direct access to employers.

The best part? Thanks to the generosity of our partners, the program is 100% free.

Don’t miss your chance to take your next step toward a career in tech – completely free and online.

This program is an advanced course, meaning you’ll need some background knowledge of data analytics to participate. We recommend Highers or National 5s in Computing and/or Mathematics; or GCSEs or A-levels in Computer Science and/or Maths.
