Numbers alone rarely tell the full story. This five-day course gives delegates a solid grounding in data visualisation, from choosing the right chart type to presenting findings that actually influence decisions. No prior experience with specialist tools is assumed; you'll build confidence step by step, working with real datasets and practical exercises throughout.

By the end of the week, delegates will know how to turn raw data into clear, credible visuals that communicate meaning quickly. Whether you're preparing management reports, supporting a project team, or just tired of spreadsheets no one reads, this course gives you the skills to make data work harder.

Course Objectives

  • Understand the core principles of data visualisation and why design choices matter.
  • Identify the right chart or graph type for different kinds of data and audiences.
  • Apply colour, layout and labelling techniques to improve clarity and accuracy.
  • Build basic visualisations using widely used tools such as Microsoft Excel and Power BI.
  • Spot common visualisation mistakes, misleading scales, chart junk, cluttered legends,
  • and correct them.
  • Evaluate a visual for accessibility, readability, and audience fit before publishing.
  • Develop a simple dashboard layout that supports informed decisions.
  • Gain confidence in presenting data visuals to non-technical stakeholders.
