get a job in data analytics with a diploma from pitman training
Every spreadsheet tells a story. Every database holds potential knowledge. The challenge lies in finding the narrative hidden within the numbers.
Organisations across sectors, from NHS trusts to retail chains, financial institutions to manufacturing plants, need skilled professionals who can interpret their information. Your expertise could help identify cost-saving opportunities, customer behaviour patterns, operational inefficiencies, or market trends.
Working as an analyst means handling various information types stored across different systems. You might encounter customer records, sales figures, survey responses, or website analytics—often in unstructured formats requiring organisation before meaningful analysis can begin.
The role combines technical capability with business acumen. You’ll learn to clean messy datasets, apply appropriate statistical methods, create informative visualisations, and communicate findings clearly to decision-makers.
is this right for you?
The diploma programme suits several situations:
- Professionals wanting to move into a more analytical role
- Those facing redundancy who need marketable skills
- People currently working with data informally but lacking structured techniques
- CV builders seeking to add in-demand technical qualifications
- Busy individuals requiring flexible study options with personal support
