Testimonials
It was wonderful to have been a student of the inaugural Business Intelligence specialisation class at ESC Clermont. The sessions provide excellent treatment of the main topics relevant to the BI world and function as a basis for bridging the gap between information technology and business practitioners. In-class exercises allowed me to connect the theory to real-life. The project assignment gave me the opportunity to build competence in using an actual BI tool. This is overall a great specialisation which will serve all participants well for the future.
