About Data Analyst & Business Analyst Program

The Data Analyst & Business Analyst course by Planet of Automation is a comprehensive, multi-tool certification program designed to equip learners with real-world data handling, analytics, visualization, and business insight skills. This course integrates six high-demand technologies—Advanced Excel, Power BI, Tableau, Python, SQL, and Statistics—to prepare learners for job roles in analytics, reporting, and decision-making across industries.

Whether you're a fresh graduate or a working professional aiming to pivot into analytics, this course provides hands-on training with live case studies, making you proficient in end-to-end data analysis, dashboarding, reporting, and data-driven storytelling.

Here are some Key Responsibilities of a Data Analyst & Business Analyst:

  • Data Cleaning & Preprocessing: Use tools like Excel, Python (Pandas), and SQL to clean, standardize, and validate raw data by handling null values, duplicates, outliers, and inconsistencies for accurate analysis.
  • Data Visualization & Reporting: Create dynamic and interactive dashboards using Power BI and Tableau to visualize KPIs, business trends, and forecasts. Present data through compelling stories tailored for stakeholders.
  • Statistical & Analytical Modeling: Apply statistical methods such as hypothesis testing, correlation, regression, and probability distributions to uncover insights, support decision-making, and solve business problems.
  • Database Querying & Data Extraction: Write optimized SQL queries to extract relevant datasets from relational databases. Perform data joins, aggregations, and filtering for reporting and analysis.
  • Business Intelligence Automation: Leverage Power Query, Pivot Tables, and automation features in Excel and Power BI to streamline recurring reports, automate data refreshes, and minimize manual work.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with business teams, developers, and managers to understand requirements, translate them into technical solutions, and deliver insights that influence decisions.
  • Live Project Execution & Problem Solving: Apply all toolsets (Excel, Python, SQL, BI, Statistics) in real-world case studies to solve domain-specific problems (e.g., sales forecasting, customer churn, inventory optimization).

To become a CSM, you can earn the CSM certification, which is a credential that recognizes your competency in Scrum project management. The CSM certification exam consists of 50 multiple-choice and true/false questions, and you need to answer at least 37 questions correctly to pass.
