“ When I started my current position after several years as a stay-at-home mom, I was eager for any professional development opportunities that may be available. A colleague recommended the SQL course to build my technical skills. I was excited to jump back into being a student and was amazed at how quickly I learned SQL coding! I am now able to apply my new knowledge directly in my job and have started a second course, Power BI, which will also enhance my abilities for current and future projects. ”

“ Bradley’s world-class educators made it easy to dive into the IT Workforce Accelerator and its numerous programs, and I soon earned my Python 1 Certificate. This experience not only enhanced my IT skills but also gave me practical tools to apply in my work. The program’s flexible scheduling made it easy to fit around my job. I highly recommend the IT Workforce Accelerator for anyone looking to expand their skills while balancing a busy schedule. ”

“ As a finance leader, I had experience with Power BI but wanted to strengthen my data analytics capabilities. This course helped me refine my skills in data transformation, visualization, and automation. Now, as a Director of Finance, I’ve leveraged these skills to enhance financial reporting, streamline budget analysis, and improve data-driven decision-making. By integrating advanced analytics and automation, I’ve increased efficiency and brought greater transparency to financial operations. ”
