Retail Activity Planning Analyst Review

I develop systems, tools, documentation and processes that will support reporting on capacity and activity management. I maintain and evolve an activity tracker and reporting tools providing accurate Management Intelligence of all planned activity and presenting available options for optimising the programming of activity into the Retail division. I evalulate and analyse different types of complex data objectively and sees patterns and meaning to establish the key relevant facts. Use this thinking to make credible recommendations to inform critical decision making. Interpret evidence and information to develop well reasoned arguments for thinking and readily draw on evidence to justify a chosen course of action. Can think clearly when presented with multiple pieces of information and gets to the nub of an issue in order to make a well informed judgement.

Use Python programming and data analysis tools to create insights that can drive commercial decision-making Work with different data formats, types and databases, such as SQL Use data visualisation to summarise, present and make recommendations from the results of data analysis Test and prototype code in a production environment, follow industry best practices and use collaborative workflows

I've really enjoyed learning new skills for this course. It's very rewarding to put place what you I've learnt into my work. I've work on projects which I would not have before I did the apprenticeship. For example building dashboards to Tableau for the directors and using SQL

The training programme was very well structured and designed with engagement in mind throughout. The knowledge was delivered through a combination of Powerpoint slides, interactive labs and Socrative knowledge assessments. The end of each day and section included a quick Q & A interactive quiz, there was also a more in-depth recap on the previous day's material at the start of each new day. You were encouraged to ask questions throughout. I would highly recommend attending one of these courses

I received as much support as I needed from my employer. My line mangaer would support me with ensuring I had the time free to work on my apprenticeship. Also they would give me meaningful projects that would support my portfolio. My learning support in work would also help me with specific data questions.

I had support throughout. I was supported during the on site training with any questions. I also had some great support with preparing for my assessment. I had one on one help and support with my portfolio. What I found to really beneficial was the mock assessment which gave me the confidence.

The data apprenticeship has given great confidence. I perform tasks which I couldn't before such as managing a database with SQL. The apprenticeship has helped improve my skills when making dashboards in Tableau. I have a better profile in the business and my name is out there as I am now a Tableau Champion
