"I cannot recommend this course enough! I was worried that I would struggle to understand the topics we were going to cover, having absolutely no prior data experience but I am impressed and proud of how far and how much I have learnt from this course. I had the privilege of learning from Ali Kanji during the Data Analyst course, and I can confidently say he was an exceptional instructor. Ali brought an impressive depth of expertise, particularly in SQL, Python, and Tableau. His ability to break down these complex programs into clear, digestible explanations made even the most challenging concepts accessible to everyone. Whether we were crafting SQL queries, writing Python scripts, or analysing data in Tableau, Ali ensured we not only understood the theory but also gained the practical skills to apply it effectively. Beyond his extensive knowledge, Ali was incredibly patient, professional, and consistently positive throughout the course. Despite the rigorous pace, he maintained a steady flow and made sure no one fell behind. His use of real-life examples helped bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, bringing the course content to life. Ali is a natural leader who fostered a supportive, inclusive, and engaging learning environment. He made sure everyone felt comfortable asking questions and encouraged group collaboration. One of the highlights was the end-of-lesson quiz game, which was both fun and a fantastic way to reinforce the material in a relaxed setting. I’m truly grateful for the knowledge and insights I gained under Ali’s guidance. He is not just a remarkable teacher, but also someone who cultivates a positive, collaborative atmosphere. Anyone would be fortunate to learn from him or work alongside him! In addition to Ali teaching, we had the support of Azra Akhtar, who really helped the group understand the job market, job roles and how to apply for these roles. This was extremely helpful and motivating. Thank you both for your time and help I am very grateful."
