About The Data Analyst Boot Camp Training

Why Data Analyst Boot Camp Training?

THE Data Analyst BOOT CAMP IS:

1. Location Independent: You may enroll for a course from Tokyo, Japan or Calgary,
Alberta, Canada or New York City, USA or from any city without having to travel.
2. Affordable: Database classes are expensive. You pay for Hotel + Food + Travel + Tuition
Fees! A combined Relational Database Developer (RDBMS) Class + SQL Query Writing
Course + Statistical Data Analysis Class quickly adds up to more than 5,000 dollars. But
the Data Analyst Boot Camp Registration is less than a fraction of that cost!!
3. Convenient: You don't have to be out-of-office, miss work deadlines or personal
commitments or fall behind at work. You may take your training during office breaks or
at home ... in the evening hours! Whatever is convenient for you, works for us as well.
4. Career-Focused: The SQL + Database + Statistical Data Analysis training courses match
the tasks, assignments or projects you perform for employers on the job guaranteeing
that the additional skills you gain after training are immediately relevant to your career
