This course prepares candidates for the BCS Professional Certificate in Data Analysis exam, which assesses knowledge in data modelling, requirements definition, and decision-making analytics. It is ideally suited for business analysts, systems analysts, and technical or solutions architects who need to define data requirements with precision.
