Structured across three focused modules — Data Wrangling, Data Exploration, and Data Visualisation using Tableau — the programme provides a logical progression from data cleaning fundamentals to sophisticated visual storytelling. Learners work with real-world datasets including a Covid data wrangling exercise, gaining hands-on experience that translates directly to workplace scenarios. This course is suitable for aspiring data analysts, professionals looking to upskill, and anyone seeking to build a strong analytical foundation. Upon completion of all modules and assessments, participants receive a certificate of completion from TimesPro.
Why Technology & Analytics?
EDA is a core skill for any data-related role, and this course provides a focused, practical path to building that capability. Unlike broader data science programmes, the Exploratory Data Analysis Essentials course zeroes in on the specific techniques analysts use daily — from cleaning messy datasets and handling missing values to crafting visualisations that communicate insights clearly. The hands-on emphasis with Python, R, and Tableau ensures learners gain tool-level proficiency alongside conceptual understanding. Real-world exercises, including Covid dataset wrangling, ground the learning in practical scenarios. The self-paced format makes the course accessible for both students and working professionals. Offered through TimesPro, a platform trusted by learners across India and backed by the Times Group, this programme carries strong credibility. The certificate of completion provides tangible recognition of the skills acquired.

There are 3 semesters in this course
Module 1 — Data Wrangling introduces the foundations of exploratory data analysis, beginning with the importance of data wrangling and the principles behind data cleaning. Learners study regular expressions and their implementation for data manipulation, followed by techniques for missing value treatment and an in-depth exploration of GroupBy operations. The module concludes with a practical Covid data wrangling exercise, giving learners hands-on experience with a real-world messy dataset. Module 2 — Data Exploration moves learners from prepared data to active investigation. This module covers systematic approaches to exploring datasets, identifying patterns, detecting anomalies, and applying statistical methods to draw meaningful conclusions.
