Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about DMSA's data analytics training courses.
DMSA's training courses are designed for a wide range of audiences — from employees with no mathematical background who need basic numeracy and data literacy skills, through to analysts and data professionals who want to build advanced technical skills in R or Excel. The Numeracy in the Workplace course is ideal for frontline staff and administrators.

Data Science for Execs is specifically designed for senior leaders and board members. Data Science in R is for technical professionals who want to develop statistical programming skills.
Yes — DMSA regularly delivers training programmes for entire organisations, from small teams to large enterprises. We can run the same course for multiple groups across different departments or locations, and can design a blended learning programme that combines different courses for different levels of the organisation — for example, Data Science for Execs for your leadership team, Data Analytics Course for your middle management and Numeracy in the Workplace for your frontline staff. We can also customise course content to use your organisation's own data and business context, making the learning immediately relevant and applicable.
Course duration varies depending on the programme. Most DMSA training courses run between one and three days for in-person or virtual classroom delivery. E-learning versions are self-paced and can typically be completed in the equivalent time spread across multiple sessions. For organisations that want to build capability over time, DMSA can design modular programmes that deliver training in shorter sessions over several weeks — reducing the operational impact of taking employees out of the business for extended periods. Contact us to discuss the format and duration that would work best for your organisation.
Yes — DMSA issues certificates of completion for all training courses. For organisations that require formal accreditation or CPD points, please contact us to discuss the specific requirements of your industry or professional body and we will advise on the most appropriate options. DMSA's training is designed to be practically applicable rather than purely certificate-focused — the primary goal is that participants leave with skills they can apply immediately in their role.
DMSA's training is distinctive in three ways. First, our courses are developed and facilitated by practising Data Scientists and Statisticians who work with real organisational data every day — not generic trainers who teach from a textbook. Second, our courses are business-oriented rather than technically-focused — we emphasise practical application and business interpretation rather than theory. Third, DMSA can contextualise training using your organisation's own data and business scenarios, making it immediately relevant to your team's day-to-day work. This combination of practical expertise, business focus and contextualisation produces better learning outcomes than off-the-shelf training. Contact us to find out more.
