Learners should have a basic understanding of Excel and SQL, including how to navigate spreadsheets and write simple queries. No programming experience or prior knowledge of AI tools is required.

We recommend starting with these three classes in any order ChatGPT + Excel, Chat with Your Data, or Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT.

Upon completing the Specialization, you’ll be able to use ChatGPT and generative AI tools to clean, analyze, and visualize data from Excel, SQL databases, and unstructured documents. You’ll master prompt engineering to guide AI in exploring datasets, detecting patterns, and generating insights that support data-driven decisions. You’ll also learn how to use AI to summarize trends, predict outcomes, and automate reporting—transforming raw data into actionable intelligence and compelling stories. You’ll also learn how to explore complex datasets, uncover insights, and communicate your findings through compelling narratives—equipping you with the skills to thrive as a modern, AI-enabled data analyst.
