Coursera & PwC bring specialization course on ‘Data Analysis & Presentation Skills’

BANGALORE, INDIA: Coursera launches a series of courses for the specialization on ‘Data Analysis and Presentation Skills’ with PwC.

Under this partnership, PwC will offer a series of widely available courses for anyone who could benefit from learning more about business analytics.

Rick Levin, Coursera’s founder and CEO said, “PwC has a unique understanding of exactly what employers are seeking in roles that require basic data analysis skills along with skills for how to communicate that data.”

This collaboration will also allow PwC’s people to improve their internal learning and development.

“Our collaboration with Coursera is about more than creating courses; it’s about helping people become more confident as they face the future,” said Agnes Hussherr, PwC’s global Human Capital leader.

The Specialization includes five courses, viz., Data-driven Decision Making, Problem Solving with Excel, Data Visualization with Advanced Excel and Effective Business Presentations with PowerPoint.

Anyone with or without a data analytics background can apply for the Specialization. In order to earn a Specialization Certificate, learners are required to complete a final Capstone Project that involves analyzing a mock client problem and a data set to gain business insights, research the client's domain area, and create recommendations and bring it all together in a recorded video presentation.
