Description

Data Analytics III trains you for work as a Junior Data Analyst: understanding data, calculating and interpreting statistics, importing and cleaning data sets, summarizing them with pivot tables, and presenting the results as charts, reports and dashboards that people can act on. It follows TESDA's Competency Standards for Data Analytics Level III and is delivered by Communityline Development Corporation through the TESDA IT Hub as an enterprise-based training program.

Learn by doing

This is a hands-on course. Alongside the lessons you work in the Data Lab, a workbench built into the course where you import, clean, filter, summarize and chart realistic datasets of a fictional grocery chain in your browser, then answer questions about what you found. Every Data Lab is graded as soon as you submit and keeps your attempts as evidence for your trainer.

  • Statistics: types of data and analytics, the phases of data analysis, mean, median, mode, range, variance, standard deviation and quartiles.
  • Prepare data sets: import files with the right settings, clean duplicates, blanks, inconsistent values and outliers with a cleaning log, and filter the data for each request.
  • Summarize data sets: pivot tables with totals, percentages, running totals, ranks and frequency analysis, and pivot charts.
  • Prepare data visualization: design principles and data storytelling, dashboards in Looker Studio and Power BI, and publishing and sharing reports properly.

In the face-to-face sessions you do the same work on the real tools: Google Sheets, Excel, Looker Studio and Power BI Desktop, with the course's downloadable datasets. (Google renamed Looker Studio back to Data Studio in April 2026; the course uses the name in the training plan.)

What the program covers

  • Basic competencies (24 hours): leading workplace communication and small teams, critical thinking and problem solving, working in a diverse environment, learning and innovation, using information systematically, evaluating safety, health and environmental practices, and entrepreneurial skills for MSMEs.
  • Common competencies (24 hours): applying quality standards and performing computer operations.
  • Core competencies (96 hours): Apply statistical concepts and analysis (24 hours), Prepare data sets (28 hours), Summarize data sets (20 hours) and Prepare data visualization (24 hours).

How it is delivered

The program is blended, 144 hours in all: face-to-face sessions in the computer laboratory, online sessions on this LMS, and self-paced time on this LMS. Assessment is competency-based: written tests, Data Lab results, lab task sheets and a dashboard presentation.

Data Analytics Level III is a formal qualification and competency standard set by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) for the ICT sector, designed to prepare people for Junior Data Analyst roles. This course is the training program, and trainees who complete it are TESDA certified.

Yes. This is the training program of Communityline Development Corporation under TESDA's Enterprise-Based Education and Training (EBET) program, run by the TESDA IT Hub. Your trainer assesses each unit of competency during the program, and trainees who complete it are TESDA certified.

144 hours: your face-to-face sessions in the computer laboratory, your scheduled online sessions, and self-paced time on this LMS. Time you spend actively working on lessons, quizzes and Data Lab simulators outside your scheduled sessions is recorded automatically and counts toward the 144 hours. The four core units (96 hours) take most of the time.

A practice workspace built into this course. You import, clean, filter, summarize and chart the datasets of a fictional grocery chain in your browser and answer questions about them. Each lab is graded automatically and your attempts are kept as evidence for your trainer.

A web browser and a free Google account (Google Sheets and Looker Studio). Excel and Power BI Desktop (free, Windows) are used in the computer laboratory; you can also install Power BI Desktop at home if you have a Windows computer.
