The Data Visualization Certificate (10.0 CPE Credits) will guide you through every major facet of one of the most important areas of your data practice -- data visualization.

You will learn fundamental types of visualization techniques such as charts and graphs and explore a sampling of the most common reporting tools for producing meaningful visualizations.
