Data Analyst Foundation – Advanced Excel, SQL & Power BI Training with Live Sessions

Data Analyst Foundation – Advanced Excel, SQL & Power BI Training

The Data Analyst Foundation – Advanced Excel, SQL & Power BI Training at JustAcademy is designed for freshers, graduates, working professionals, MIS executives, and career switchers who want to build practical skills for Data Analytics and Data Analyst roles.

The program combines three essential technologies used across modern data analysis workflows: Advanced Excel for data preparation and analysis, SQL for extracting and querying data, and Microsoft Power BI for data modelling, visualization, reporting, and dashboards.

Students learn through live instructor-led sessions, hands-on exercises, real-world datasets, practical assignments, and project-based learning. The goal is to help learners understand how business data is collected, cleaned, analysed, visualized, and converted into meaningful insights.

Live Data Analyst Training

This is a live, interactive training program where students learn directly from the instructor and can ask questions, practise concepts, work with datasets, and receive guidance during projects.

Instead of focusing only on theoretical concepts, the training follows a practical workflow:

Excel → SQL → Data Cleaning → Data Analysis → Power BI → Dashboard → Business Insights

This makes the program suitable for learners who want to build a foundation across multiple tools rather than learning only one data analytics technology.
