An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Modelling, Simulation, Optimisation and Predictive Analytics using Microsoft Excel
Data-driven insights are at the core of informed business decision-making. Statistical analysis of numerical data continues to be a fundamental tool in areas such as finance, manufacturing, service delivery, and quality control. Yet, the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), the explosion of Big Data, and the need for sophisticated modeling and forecasting have outgrown the capabilities of traditional analytical methods.
In today’s high-performing business environments, companies increasingly face complex simulation and modeling challenges—from optimizing production and improving efficiency to managing operational costs, assessing risk, preventing fraud, and predicting outcomes. These challenges demand advanced analytical solutions that go beyond standard practices.
The Advanced Data Analysis Techniques training course is a fully computer-based learning experience that demonstrates how to solve complex, real-world business problems using Microsoft Excel. Participants will work on a diverse set of scenarios drawn from fields such as robotics, supply chain management, process optimization, financial risk management, and healthcare efficiency. Each case study is designed to highlight specific learning outcomes and practical applications.
Through this hands-on training course, delegates will learn how to build, code, and simulate realistic business problems using Excel, gaining the ability to optimize processes, evaluate risk, and make accurate predictions. This training course is intended for professionals already familiar with basic data analysis who are ready to specialize in advanced modeling and simulation techniques.
Key topics covered in this KC Academy Advanced Data Analysis Techniques training course include:
This training course is designed to empower professionals managing complex business operations with the practical skills and conceptual understanding needed to transform data into actionable insights using cutting-edge analytical methods.
By the end of this Advanced Data Analysis Techniques training course, participants will:
This training course on Advanced Data Analysis Techniques adopts a problem‐based learning approach, in which delegates are presented with a series of real problems drawn from the widest possible range of applications – they range from insurance to supply chain logistics, from chemistry to engineering, and from production optimization to financial risk assessment. Each problem presents and exemplifies the need for a different modelling or analytical approach.
This training course is entirely applications‐oriented, minimizing the time spent on the theory and mathematics of analysis and maximizing the time spent on the use of practical methods from within Excel, along with the understanding of how and why such methods work.
Delegates will spend almost all of their time exploring the use of modelling and simulation methods using Microsoft Excel, to develop solutions to the totally realistic problems that are presented.
Organizations that enable their teams to apply advanced data analysis techniques will gain a significant competitive advantage. Benefits of attending this training course include:
Participants will leave this training course with a strong foundation in the application of advanced data analytics and modeling, with immediate relevance to their professional roles. They will gain:
This KC Academy Advanced Data Analysis Techniques training course has been designed for professionals whose jobs involve the manipulation, representation, interpretation and/or analysis of data. This training course involves extensive modelling and analysis using Excel 2010 (or higher) and therefore delegates must not only be numerate, but must enjoy detailed working with numerical data to solve complex problems.
Full familiarity with Microsoft Excel (version 2007 or higher), and the ability to analyze data using common statistical methods, are fundamental prerequisites for attendance on this Advanced Data Analysis Techniques training course.
On successful completion of this training course, KC ACademy Certificate will be awarded to the delegates.
