Objectives, niche and strategy

Data Bootcamp

Week 1: Tailoring & planning

Set your objectives, find your strengths and weaknesses, and explore the niches that suit your personality. A one-size-fits-all “follow these steps” approach isn't right for everyone. You might be drawn to coding (Python, SQL), to building data pipelines that enable self-service, or to visuals and data storytelling. This week is reflection, goal-setting and career strategy, with optional reading set in advance.

Price box:

£320

£320. Pay in one go or weekly (payment due two working days before each week starts). The weekly option is designed for people early in their careers. Vito's note here was cut off (“I think fin…”), so I have treated £320 as agreed. [CONFIRM] Do not show a higher “valued at” price unless it has genuinely been charged (section 12).

What you get

Preparation for two Microsoft AI certification exams (the £72 exam fee per exam is paid to Microsoft). No guarantees are given, but the programme is structured so that people I have supported so far have scored in the 800-900 range out of 1000 (700 is a pass). [VERIFY: keep a record of results and get permission before quoting them]
A one-month programme: one 1.5-hour live online session a week, then a certificate and a reference.
Hands-on Excel skills employers look for (every system exports to Excel or CSV).
Hands-on Power BI skills employers look for.
The cutting-edge AI tools as they appear on the market.
Two portfolio projects based on real tasks from real work.
CV help tied to all of the above, including fresh ideas such as QR codes that link to your portfolio.

What happens in Week 1?

You set clear objectives, identify strengths and weaknesses, explore niche career paths and build a personalised strategy for the month. It is the foundation that makes the rest of the Bootcamp effective.

Yes. You explore several data and AI pathways and complete structured reflection exercises to find what fits you best.
