With all due respect, Please don't let people question your cert., you studied Economics grad with a 2:1 from a reputable uni and still don't know what you need to become a data analyst .

I believe your question will be well poised if you say what you need to become better in data analysis.

You don't need to tell us about your achievement...some people here are first class.

Data analysis has to do with econometrics. You should have an idea on that. However,data analysis has to do with evaluating data using analytical and logical reasoning to examine each component of the data provided.
It has to do with creating a regression model with the information gotten from the data collected,and evaluating the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables(serial correlation problem). And if possible,forecast for the company.
This is the little I can say about it.

You can go for a certification in data analysis to become a data analyst.

Thank u, wat certification can I go for. That's exactly wat I need

Data Management International offers a certification exam to become a Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP).

I know of this but I think it is for those who studied computer science, statistics, mathematics and other related courses.

I just want the one a graduate of economics can take

Economics is among the other related courses. You don't really need them, I'll prefer you go for the knowledge, which you will directly apply. I learnt web design on my own and have done a job meanwhile I know of people who learnt one program or the other from known IT firms(some with certification) but still can't compete favourable with people who learnt on their own or with help from friends.
