C1 Training - Data Analytics

Thank you Amazon Career choice and Correlation one for the Data analytic program.I appreciate the opportunity given to learn new skills and gain knowledge from this program.I learnt so much , the people were great nd the Staff was the best.We  had  coaches ,  Lecturers ,TAs and Instructors willing and ready to help  whenever u needed help .I highly recommend this program if you want a career in data analytic 

I am a recent graduate of the Data Analytics program.  The instructors and staff covered a thorough amount in the 16 weeks of the class.  I learned a lot of new skills and applications and brushed up on some old.  The only thing I wish was discussed as a class in more detail was writing program scripts.  It was still a great experience.

I started the program in March 2022 knowing not one thing about data analytics. I was willing to learn and Correlation One taught me so much over the 16 weeks I was in the course. When graduation came, I could decipher data like I’d been doing it my whole life. I highly suggest applying to this program because it has definitely changed my life! 

I enjoyed my time with Amazon's Career Choice Data Analytics Program with Correlation One.  I have always loved numbers, researching and analyzing, but didn't have the know how or the skills.  Prior to the program I had no experience at all with Excel or analyzing data, and now feel so much more confident in my skills.  Everyone in the staff from the TA's, the instructors, the Career Success Coaches and in Operations were wonderful and always willing and ready to help.  You have one on one office hours with your TA's to help you with anything you need help with and don't understand.  You also have one on one office hours with your Career Success Coach to help you with producing a well written resume that will help you get seen more with potential employers.  They also have job assistance with the Professional Development Team to help you get a better position.  Another part of the program I enjoyed was the extra office hours with smaller groups to help you learn things such as Python and Tableau.  It is a wonderful program and I will always be grateful for everyone at Correlation One!

Excel and SQL with Tableau 

Being previously exposed to data collection and analysis from graduate and post graduate studies, I classified myself as an intermediate level user of Microsoft Excel, but I always knew there were blanks in my knowledge that needs to be filled in order to put myself out in the labor market as a data analyst. Then I took the opportunity of the Amazon Career Choice - Data Analytics Training by correlation One, this was exactly what I needed to fill-in the blanks, from the introduction phase asking the question; What is data literacy? to Interpreting tables, Data extraction in Excel, Interpreting charts & graphs, Data transformation, pivot tables & Data visualization, Dashboarding and finally putting all these skills into practice in a capstone project within a team, which is also an added skill, I cannot have asked for more. The career development sessions and personnel are wonderful, breaking down topics like overcoming imposter syndrome, helping to put together my resume, Mock interviews in preparation for actual job interviews, LinkedIn and networking discussions. The correlation One team will always come together to help and provide resources to any student to ensure their success.
I am happy and fulfilled to have passed through this institution that has really impacted and increase my knowledge in data analysis. It is a great program, and I am sure anybody who is fortunate to partake in any of their programs will surely have a great experience. 

Correlation One Training program for Data Analytics (Amazon Career Choice) is a really well-organized platform for beginners to start learning data analytics. The lectures and study materials are excellent. The capstone project makes me understand the big picture of data analytics. Dedicated TAs' help sessions are a must to complete the capstone project while you are working. I appreciated the C1 training program for data analytics!

Some of Correlation One (C1) teaching assistants (TA) early on seemed like they were lost and didn't know who to reach out to on the C1 team for questions and escalations. A few TAs were rock stars and offered office hours on specific topics (e.g. Intermediate/Advanced Excel). The curriculum and the extended cases (EC) started to diverge after the second EC. For example, we started to learn about Tableau and SQL but the homework assignment were mostly focused on Excel. The group I was paired with to work on our group project eventually dwindled down to only two (myself and one other student). Originally the group started off with five students. One student never showed up since the start of the program but was left in our group by our C1 TAs. EC office hours with TAs were sometimes chaotic. The times I've shown up for extra help there were too many students asking for help but not enough TAs online to help and answer questions. This was definitely not a great experience.Overall, the biggest perk in this program is getting to work with career coaches and getting personal feedback on how to approach the interview process, resume building, and job hunting tips and tricks. Some of the resume tips were generic such as focusing on formatting or updating LinkedIn with keywords.
