Statistical literacy is a highly transferable professional skill. This Specialization offers a structured path from descriptive statistics to advanced predictive modelling using Microsoft Excel. Across three progressively demanding courses, you will build essential skills for business, health, science, finance, and operations, learning to summarise and describe data, and mastering hypothesis testing, PivotTable analysis, and statistical inference.
Using Excel's Data Analysis ToolPak across all three courses, you'll work with ANOVA, multiple regression, and advanced forecasting tools to build models that answer complex questions. Each course includes downloadable workbooks, graded assignments, and a final project to ensure hands-on proficiency.
By the end of this Specialization, you'll be able to design statistical models, evaluate their quality, generate forecasts, and present findings through interactive visualisations — skills that stand out in any data-facing role.
Ideal for business professionals, analysts, researchers, and students across any field, this program requires no prior experience.

Applied Learning Project
Each course in this Specialization closes with a comprehensive final assignment that integrates everything covered across that course's modules. Across the three courses, you'll complete three standalone projects that simulate real-world scenarios — working with real data to apply statistical techniques at increasing levels of complexity to solve authentic business problems.
The projects facilitate professional insight generation and decision-making. Each project is supported by practice assignments in every module — giving you the opportunity to build confidence before your graded submission. You'll graduate this Specialization with three completed analytical projects demonstrating a full statistical skill set, from foundational data summarisation to advanced predictive modelling.
