Build capability to create and maintain key data infrastructure

Want to train new talent and reskill existing employees with one of the most in-demand technical skillsets? Develop key internal capabilities to raise the usability of critical datasets in your organisation. Cambridge Spark's Level 5 Data Engineer Apprenticeship equips learners with core technical and leadership skills.

In turn, learners are able to support business functions in creating and maintaining data analytics pipelines. They build the skillset to access data in their organisation and gain an understanding of the data engineering lifecycle, data modelling and more to help organisations maximise the value of their data.

Leaners will also have the opportunity to join guest talks on technical updates from leading technology providers like Google Cloud Platform and Databricks.

Empower your team with advanced Python data analysis skills

Elevate your organisation's data analysis capabilities with our targeted course designed for teams seeking to capture the full power of Python and Pandas. This course teaches participants to transform, manipulate and visualise data using Python, so it can be used as an effective asset for decision making.

Python comes with a rich ecosystem allowing teams to use numerous, free tools and methods already implemented. Besides being an efficient way to manipulate data, Python has the advantage of enabling best practice in terms of reusability — by writing code once and running the same analysis multiple times or reusing code across projects, ensuring consistency of analysis.

Participants in this course will explore the world of Python programming for analysing and visualising data. With a strong focus on practical application, your team will be prepared to confront and solve real-world data challenges, turning complex datasets into valuable insights that drive business success.
