Data Analytics Associate
Take a business question all the way to a defensible answer.
Add it to your LinkedIn profile with the insiderOne logo, verifiable by anyone.
What you will be able to do
- Turn a vague request into a question with a metric, a comparison and a decision attached
- Clean a raw export into one tidy table and write down every change you made
- Write SQL that filters, groups and joins without double counting
- Choose the right average and spread for a skewed number and say why
- Define a metric with its denominator, and read a cohort table and an A/B test
- Write a one page memo that leads with the answer and states its caveats
Students and freshers aiming at data analyst internships and first jobs, and anyone who has been handed a dashboard and asked what it means.

Is the membership working
A one page memo to the founder: your answer first, the numbers behind it, what the data can and cannot show about whether Pass causes more orders, and what you would do about the cashback plan.
About 125 minutes in total.
Two levels
Finish the units and the project and you get the Certificate of Completion. Pass the live skill challenge on Data Analysis at Practitioner level or above and it becomes a Verified Certificate, which anyone you send it to can check for themselves.
Questions
What does it cost?
Nothing while insiderOne is in beta.
Can an employer check it?
Yes. Every certificate has its own page, and the code printed on it resolves there without anyone needing an account.
Do I need any experience?
No. These are written for students and people in their first job, and they assume nothing.
What do I actually walk away with?
The certificate, and the piece of work you made for the project. That goes into your insiderOne profile as a proof item, private until you choose to show it.
Know someone studying this?
It is free while insiderOne is in beta, and the certificate is checkable by anyone they send it to.
