The Credential

Certified Data Intelligence Specialist — BI & Visualization

Finishing every course is not what earns this credential. You earn it by demonstrating all 2 required competencies through real, assessed evidence, then bringing them together in the Project below — reviewed end to end, not graded on attendance.

Business Intelligence & Visualization

  • Dashboard & Visual Analytics Design
  • BI Semantic Layer & Data Modeling

Course Sequence

"Real BI/dashboard capability: data connections, calculated fields, filters, dashboard design, and publishing. Tableau is the primary real implementation path; Power BI, Looker, or Google Looker Studio are equally accepted -- assessment evaluates the underlying analytical and visual-design thinking, not Tableau proficiency specifically."

Included Modules
Data Connections & Preparation
Calculated Fields & Parameters
Filters, Sets & Aggregation Granularity Control (LOD Expressions or Equivalent)
Visual Best Practices
Dashboards & Storyboarding
Advanced BI Analytics Techniques
Performance Optimization
Publishing & Sharing

"Real BI semantic-layer capability: data modeling, calculation languages, KPI design, and data-level security. Power BI/DAX is the primary real implementation path; Tableau's Calculated Fields/LOD expressions, Looker's LookML, or another BI tool's equivalent calculation layer are equally accepted implementation paths for the same underlying capability."

Included Modules
Data Modeling Fundamentals
BI Calculation Language Fundamentals (DAX or Equivalent)
Relationship Management & Optimization
KPI & Measure Design
Interactive Dashboard Development
Advanced BI Calculation Techniques (Advanced DAX or Equivalent)
Data-Level Access Control & Security
Real-Time Data Connections & Refresh Configuration

"Advanced in-tool data transformation and modeling. Excel's Power Query/Power Pivot/DAX toolset is the primary real implementation path; an equivalent capability demonstrated in another tool (e.g. Google Sheets + Apps Script, or a dedicated lightweight ETL tool) is also accepted -- the capability being assessed is the transformation/modeling thinking, not the specific tool."

Included Modules
Data Transformation & Query Tooling Fundamentals (Power Query or Equivalent)
Advanced Data Transformation Techniques (Power Query or Equivalent)
In-Tool Data Modeling (Power Pivot or Equivalent)
Data Model Relationships & Calculation Language Basics (DAX or Equivalent)
Advanced Logical & Analytical Formulas
What-If Analysis & Scenario Planning
Interactive Dashboard Building
Performance Optimization & Best Practices
