Intensive Description
Python Data Analytics with Pandas – Intensive I is a deep, hands-on introduction to using Python for real-world data analysis. This intensive is designed for learners who are ready to move beyond spreadsheets and AI-assisted tools into clear, testable, and scalable analytics workflows.
Rather than focusing on isolated functions, this intensive teaches participants how to think like a data analyst—cleaning data, transforming it intentionally, validating results, and producing outputs that can be trusted and reused.
All instruction is lab-driven, with datasets that mirror common business, accounting, and reporting scenarios.
By the end of the intensive, attendees will confidently use Pandas to clean, analyze, and prepare data—without relying on fragile formulas or guesswork.
