How smart business owners are using AI to grow faster

Course Overview

This 4-week practical crash course is built for business owners, team leads, operations managers, analysts, and professionals who need to do the analyst's job with AI as a force multiplier. You work through one continuous project across 8 live, hands-on sessions.

Every learner works with the same 18-month, 50,000-row retail dataset (sales, products, stores, customers, and loyalty data), growing it session by session into a finished decision intelligence product. Integrated coverage spans Data Analytics & AI, Power BI, Google Data Analytics, and AI-Powered Decision Intelligence, with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Colab at the core of every session.

Pre-class videos flip the lecture; live time is 100% build-along. Between sessions you complete guided homework with AI as your always-on tutor. The goal is AI-assisted competence in spreadsheets, SQL, Python, and Power BI, not manual mastery of every tool in 16 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding or analytics experience before I join?

No. We teach spreadsheets, SQL, Python, and Power BI with AI as your co-pilot from the ground up. You learn to verify and defend AI output, not memorize every formula or function.

How much time do I need every week?

Plan for 11-13 hours/week · 44-52 hours over 4 weeks: 4 hours/week (2 × 2-hour sessions) live, ~1 hour/week (videos & reading) pre-class, and 6-8 hours/week (guided practice with AI) homework between sessions.

What if I cannot afford full payment at once?

Online is paid in full. For physical attendance, you can split payment into 3 instalments before the cohort starts. Contact admissions to set up your plan.

Will this help me get better roles or clients?

Yes. You finish with a public portfolio: GitHub notebook, published Power BI dashboard, working AI agent, SCQA decision memo, and LinkedIn insights. These are the artifacts employers and clients actually want to see.
