Ramp: Spreadsheets first, then SQL and R. No prior data experience required.

This program is a strong fit for members who like patterns, numbers, and practical problem-solving. Over three to five months you will move from spreadsheets into SQL, data cleaning, dashboards, and visualization so you can explain what the numbers mean, not just collect them. Members who complete this track are preparing for data analyst, reporting, and business analyst roles where clear thinking and communication matter as much as technical skill.
