This is so insightful and encouraging. I really appreciate your response. God bless you real good

You are already on the right course.

1. Three (3) months is enough if you are learning full-time.

2. Excel will always remain the foundation for data analysis. It's vital that all Data Analyst keep improving their Excel proficiency. I recall performing regression analysis with Excel back in 2001 (20yrs ago) and it's still relevant even today.

3. Finish the IBM Data Analyst certificate and jump on the Google Data Analyst certificate.
Write/ make detailed notes of your learnings as that will be your fall back in future. Mainly a confidence booster when you move into the real world or confronted with interview preparation.
Now as regards the set of tools you need to study/acquire to be set for the real world; those two Coursera courses are perfect and I will explain.
Both courses will issue you with Industry recognised certificates and in the course Capstone practice that offer you with projects that you can use in your CV as work experience. This certificates can be linked to your LinkedIn profile.
Finally between both courses, you will learn the following tools:
- Google sheets, Excel
- MySQL, MongoDB (NoSQL)
- Python, R
Above are what the 2 biggest employers of Data Analyst/Scientists specify as their knowledge base for their employees

Thanks for this. I will get across

Hi Brother, I share a similar background with you in geosciences but based here in Nigeria. With respect to some of your questions concerning this journey, I will advise that you take your time to read this thread from the beginning. By doing so you would get answers to most of your questions. As for me , this journey requires a lot of self - determination, self - motivation and self -discipline to follow through.

Thanks for this piece bro. I will definitely try it out

If you're in UK, go to totaljobs.com . Then use the search word "data analyst" or "Machine Learning" Engineer. Then observe all the software listed as requirements, start learning them gradually. AND START APPLYING for jobs the moment you notice you have gotten to intermediate level, don't wait to master the whole thing. I am currently in Germany still learning and planning to come to UK eventually, the job market in UK is big for Data analytics and Machine learning.

Good day Mentors and fellow Data Science/Analytics Enthusiasts

I humbly need your advice and guide on forging this new path. Let me just table my matter here for you. I have a B.Sc and M.Sc in Geoscience but been working as a project coordinator in telecoms service industry especially in the areas of equipment installations and site maintenance. Recently I moved to the UK but seeing the way way I.T is making waves here, I have decided to reignite my passion for data science so I need your advice and answers to some of my questions

1. Like how many months would it take a newcomer like me to learn to the stage of being employable as a data scientist/analyst role
2. I have intermediate knowledge on excel, just need to brush up to advanced levels with some online tutorials
3. I started the datascience journey late last year with Coursera and IBM and even had some projects submitted on github, done 5 out of 9 stages on IBM_coursera Data Science Specialization using Pythons(Jupyter, Pandas, etc) but I still feel there are lots missing as I dont feel I am doing the right things. I am good with theory and self-learning and I smash all the exams accross these 5 stages I have done so far and issued the certificates but deep within me, I am not confident I have the practical knowledge, although I dont practice quite often, I crash-read alot, a course that would take some folks 3weeks with enough time to practice, I might just rush it within few hours an pass the exams and certificates thus making me feel not confident to defend it. I feel maybe this is a flaw.
4. Now I want to learn properly and dedicate more time. So I need guidance on how to make the journey and the tools/materials/resources I need to learn one after the other in a sequential manner to really aid my understanding and also boost my confidence after learning and if there are sites or online schools I need to register
5. Most importantly, is this doable for a novice that is just coming into I.T and again, like how many months for me to be able to thrashing job interviews if I learned what is required

Thanks in anticipation for your responses

Yes I did. Activated it using the barcode given and submitted successfully

opomulero:
did u register the kits online b4 sending it across to them?

Good evening my loving Nairalanders. Please I have come again for your advice �.

Today is my day 9 of self isolation in the UK after my arrival. My test kit for Day 2 was delivered on day 6, the second test kit delivered today and I am yet to receive results for my day 2 test.

Please my question is, can I go out of isolation on the 11th day or is it until I must have received my 2 test results which obviously might not come tomorrow.

The reason British Airways is marketing this dysfunctional company(Qured) is beyond me

.

Thanks for always coming through for everyone

Thanks for your response. What I meant by new entrant is new immigrant. As in J.JC

giselle237:
U can only pay with dormicilliary cards as all naira mastercards have 100usd cutoff or alternatively book on wakanow or call the british airways lagos abuja office, they will tell you the naira equivalent to pay and where to pay it.
What do you mean as new entrant?

Thank you so much. This is quite informative

Lexusgs430:
1 - Remember CBN limited monthly transactions to $100 (unless that flight ticket is $99.99)
2 - None of the listed driving licences, would accord you cheaper car insurance....... Budget between £1300 - £2500, for your car insurance (depending on postal code & vehicle + vehicle cc)

NB : But get an international DL, which would be tied to your date of entry, stamped on your passport)......... If you are currently insured in Nigeria, get an historical information from your insurance company........

NB : Don't forget, you also need to pay £210.00 for your UK covid21 test, before boarding that flight.........

Good morning to everyone on here. Trust we are doing good. Please I would appreciate if anyone can help me clarify some things here

1. Does British airline accept naira debit Mastercard to book flights if one is going to the UK

2. I heard car insurance is quite expensive in the UK. Please Which of the following licence will give a lower insurance cost? The Nigeria driver's licence? International driver's licence or UK Provisional licence? And also can i have an idea of the costs as well? Can license have some kind of little impact on insurance especially for new entrants, someone mentioned it does but I am not sure.

Thanks as you take your time to enlightene me

Just go with your debit card. They have POS there. That's what they use. No exchange of cash within the premises for any reason

Pamelapencil:
You can print the scanned one, and also have the photocopy handy, because you will need all documents to be in A4 .

As regards financial proof.
Hers should be used.

Thanks

Thanks, we will do that

Oggg:
Marriage certificate likewise your other docs will be UPLOADED via the portal. Ask madam since she has visa already, she will tell u better

Thanks for the swift response. Her CoS is still valid and dependent maintenance was ticked. Thanks about the clarification on the documents submission, so I do not need to show original copy of marriage cert when I go for Biometrics

Thanks

giselle237:
Has her COS expired? Was dependent maintenance ticked yes also?
If the cos is still valid and dependent’s maintenance was ticked then u can use same cos to apply without providing POF.
However if the COS has expired, u need to show POF. Either u provide ur funds tht have stayed 90days or her employer writes a letter to cover u... ive forgotten what it’s called.

Ur documents including marriage certificate will only be submitted via embassy for ur visa. And they dnt ask for physical copy. What is submitted is scanned copy

Good day all and happy new year. Please I need some clarification. My wife, a nurse relocated to UK following the route of Tier2 Skilled worker and her employer paid for all the traveling processes with a 3months accommodation. In her CoS, it was ticked by employer to certify Maintenance

Now I am applying as a defendant, would I need proof of funds and also am I required to physically present the original copy of our marriage certificate? I am with the scanned copy and photocopy as she took the original along with her.

Thanks
