    The demand for data scientists continues to grow beyond supply, companies and organisations are looking for solutions. As a result, Citizen Data Scientists are emerging from within the business analyst community. They combine the skills of traditional business analysts with some of the expertise of statisticians.

    With new, powerful and affordable tools available in the market, more and more people are finding they are empowered to do something intelligent with their data. Analytics is no longer the exclusive province of statisticians and specialists as it is now for all of us as we become more data-driven and analytical in our thinking and our work. This in turn has resulted in the rise of the Citizen Data Scientist. This programme will enable Citizen Data Scientists to gain the expertise and skills to perform their role with greater effectiveness and expertise. Participants will then be able to perform the main data-related tasks for the Citizen Data Scientist using the point-and-click capabilities of SAS Visual Analytics: data access and data manipulation, data exploration using analytics and building predictive models.
