One thing Cohort 1 reminded me of is how intimidating Data Analytics can look when you are just starting.
You hear people talking about SQL queries, dashboards, DAX, databases, Power BI...
And you are there thinking:
“I don’t even know where to start.” 😅
Some of the learners in Cohort 1 started from that point too.
We didn’t assume everybody already understood Data Analytics.
We started from the foundation.
Then gradually moved into Excel.
They practised.
They worked on assignments and projects.
And when we eventually moved into SQL, some people were writing SQL queries for the first time.
That is why I keep saying this:
You do not need to learn Excel, SQL or Power BI before joining the Data Analytics Accelerator.
That is what the programme is supposed to help you learn.
What you need is the willingness to start, practise consistently, ask questions when you are confused, and actually do the work.
So if you have been looking at Cohort 2 and thinking:
"Maybe everybody joining already knows more than me..."
Please don’t disqualify yourself because you are a beginner.
Cohort 2 starts October 30, and we will begin from the foundation.
Over the 13 weeks, we will gradually work through Excel, SQL, Power BI, AI for Data Analysts, practical projects and portfolio preparation.
It is beginner-friendly.
But it is also practical, so come prepared to learn and practise. 😊
Registration for Cohort 2 is currently open.

One of my students created this as her FIRST personal Excel project, without my guidance, and I couldn't be prouder! 🥹
What impressed me most wasn't just the dashboard design, but her analysis.
She went beyond sales to analyse profitability, profit margins, loss-making product subcategories, and business performance.
High sales don't always mean high profits, and she understood that!
My own first dashboard was nowhere near this. 😂
Seeing my students independently apply what they've learned to answer real business questions is one of the most fulfilling parts of teaching Data Analytics. ❤️
Think you're ready for an Excel interview?
I created a FREE Excel Interview Prep Pack with 15 realistic questions covering formulas, XLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, PivotTables, data cleaning, errors, scenarios & more.
Don't just read the questions. Answer them OUT LOUD.

Today is the first day I’ll be taking three separate Data Analytics classes in one day. A full teaching day ahead, and I’m looking forward to every session.
Registration for Cohort 2 has started. If you’re interested in joining, drop a comment below and I’ll send you the details.
As an AI automation engineer, your workflow structure should have:
1. Clarity: Workflow purpose and immediately understandable.
2.Modularity: Breaking workflow logic into smaller, well define part that can be reused and evolved independently
This week, I’m starting one-on-one Data Analytics training with 4 new students.
Four people. Four different backgrounds. One goal: to learn Data Analytics properly and actually use the skills.
We’ll spend the next 3 months learning, practising and building real projects together.
Meanwhile, my current Data Analytics Accelerator cohort is moving into Power BI after completing Excel and SQL.
A very Data-Analytics-filled season at @RatafarAcademy . 😄
If you prefer learning in a group, registration for Data Analytics Accelerator Cohort 3 begins next week.
So whether you’re looking for personalised one-on-one training or would like to learn alongside other aspiring Data Analysts in our next cohort, there’s an option for you.
We just welcomed a new student to our one-on-one class 🥰.
