Data analyst training
Training the health data analysts of the future is a cornerstone of DPUK's work. From our flagship Datathon events to our new Health Data Analyst Academies, we are helping inspire a new generation of cohort analysts and equipping existing analysts with enhanced statistical skills.
DPUK Health DATA ACADEMIES
DPUK runs two academies a year to provide training at beginner and advanced levels.
These online academies offer participants an immersive experience in statistical analytical skills encompassing group collaboration and hands-on big data work, talks, lectures & tutorials.
They are suitable for anyone working in health research, however during the courses participants will use datasets from Dementias Platform UK’s Data Portal.
Both the Elementary and Advanced academies are open to participants worldwide, but are delivered in the GMT (UK) time zone, so you will need to commit to these times.
The Elementary Academy run by DPUK took place between 29th April and 3rd May 2024. The Advanced Academy will take place between 4th and 8th November 2024. Applications close at 5pm on Monday 14th October 2024. APPLY NOW
