What is Data Analytics and Why It Matters
Data analytics enables professionals to transform raw data into meaningful insights. Businesses use it to make faster, more informed decisions, improve operations, and identify growth opportunities. In this course, you’ll learn how to clean data in Excel, write SQL queries to extract key information, and visualise insights using Tableau dashboards.
These tools are in high demand across marketing, operations, finance, logistics, HR, and more. You’ll also explore how AI tools can enhance data workflows, helping you automate repetitive tasks and generate insights faster. With data literacy now a top skill in Singapore’s evolving job market, learning analytics gives you a serious edge.
Why Learn Data Analytics on Weekends in Singapore?
Time is often the biggest barrier to upskilling, which is why weekend classes are a popular solution for full-time professionals and busy individuals. This course is delivered over 7 weekend sessions, each lasting 3 hours and taught live on Zoom.
You’ll benefit from real-time instruction, class interaction, and post-session recordings for revision or catch-up. No prior experience is needed, and support is available from both instructors and teaching assistants throughout.
Most importantly, eligible learners can combine IBF funding, SkillsFuture Credits, and UTAP support to reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket costs. If you’ve been putting off professional development due to your weekday schedule, this weekend course gets you learning without the sacrifice.

FAQs About the Weekend Data Analytics Course
Why choose a weekend course over weekday learning?
A weekend course is ideal if your weekday schedule is packed. It allows you to upskill while maintaining your full-time job, studies, or family obligations. Sessions are intensive but spaced out weekly, giving you time to absorb material, complete assignments, and practise what you’ve learned. This format is especially popular with working professionals who want structured learning but cannot attend evening classes. With lifetime access to recordings, you can also rewatch lessons or catch up if you miss a class. The course runs on Zoom, so there’s no commute — just real-time, focused training you can attend from anywhere in Singapore. Weekend learning helps you stay productive, without overloading your weekly routine.
What tools will I learn and use in the course?
You’ll learn to use three core tools that are essential in today’s data analytics roles: Excel, SQL, and Tableau. Excel is used for cleaning and preparing data, performing calculations, and structuring reports. SQL allows you to access and filter data from large databases — an essential skill for analysts across every industry. Tableau is a visualisation tool used to create dashboards, graphs, and presentations that clearly communicate data stories. You’ll also explore AI-enhanced features that speed up analytics tasks. The curriculum is project-based, so you’ll apply each tool through hands-on exercises and a final capstone. These tools are widely used and recognised by employers, giving you job-ready capabilities.
Will I receive certification after this course?
Yes — upon completing the course, you’ll earn a Data Analytics Certificate accredited by the Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF). This certification is widely recognised by employers and signals that you’ve completed a professional, government-supported programme. It validates your ability to analyse and visualise data using Excel, SQL, Power BI and Tableau. You can add this to your resume and LinkedIn profile to boost your visibility in job applications or internal promotions. Many graduates use their certificates to transition into analytics roles or to strengthen their qualifications in related industries like marketing, finance, and logistics. The certification is more than symbolic — it’s an asset that represents real, practical skills.
What if I miss one of the weekend sessions?
If you miss a class, you’ll still be able to catch up — every live Zoom session is recorded and shared with enrolled students. You’ll have lifetime access to all materials, including slides, templates, and walkthroughs. The course also includes teaching assistant (TA) support, so you can reach out with questions after the session or get help revising difficult topics. This flexible setup is especially helpful for learners balancing other commitments. The recorded lessons ensure you never fall behind, even if something comes up on the weekend. You’re in control of your pace, with the guidance and support you need to succeed.
What types of jobs can I pursue after this course?
Completing this course prepares you for roles such as Data Analyst, Marketing Analyst, Operations Associate, Business Intelligence Executive, or Customer Insights Specialist. You’ll build hands-on experience in Excel, SQL, Tableau, and data storytelling — the exact skills employers need. You’ll also create a capstone project using real business scenarios, which you can showcase during interviews or portfolio reviews. The IBF-accredited certificate helps boost your credibility with hiring managers across various industries. Whether you’re aiming for a promotion, career shift, or freelance analytics work, this course gives you both the technical foundation and practical project experience to get started with confidence.
How practical is the training — is it all theory?
This course is highly practical and action-oriented. From day one, you’ll work on actual datasets, complete exercises in Excel and SQL, and build dashboards using Tableau. You won’t just read about analytics — you’ll practise it. Each session includes demonstrations, guided tasks, and in-class Q&A, with post-class assignments that reinforce key concepts. You’ll apply all your skills in a final capstone project, where you analyse real business problems and present data insights through visual storytelling. Employers value learners who can use tools effectively, not just understand theory. This course ensures you leave with job-ready skills, not just textbook knowledge.
What if I’ve never worked with data or don’t come from a tech background?
No problem at all — this course is built for beginners. You don’t need to be a coder or have a maths degree to succeed. The content starts with core concepts and walks you through each step with clear, practical examples. You’ll learn how to clean data, analyse trends, and create visual dashboards using real-world scenarios. Instructors and teaching assistants are there to support your learning at every step. By the end of the course, you’ll have a strong foundation in data analytics and the confidence to use Excel, SQL, and Tableau. This is the ideal entry point for professionals and learners with no prior analytics experience.
How do the subsidies work, and how much will I really pay?
Your final course fee depends on your eligibility for government funding. Singaporeans aged 40 and above may receive up to 70% IBF funding, with the remaining balance covered by SkillsFuture Credits — meaning you could pay $0 out-of-pocket. Those under 40 typically receive 50% IBF funding and can also use SkillsFuture. Permanent Residents are eligible for 50% IBF subsidy. NTUC members can claim UTAP reimbursement, covering 50% of the remaining fees (up to $500 per year). You can check your exact costs using the course provider’s calculator or speak to an advisor. Most learners pay significantly less than the full $2,725 fee thanks to these stacked subsidies.
