A Future Skills Business Intelligence student has designed a product to help property buyers make big decisions.
Yue (Rita) Han came to us with a background in accounting.
“As an accountant, I work with large datasets on a daily basis. The ability to learn from the numbers and gain valuable and actionable insight is very critical for my job,” she says.
This drew her to our suite of Business Intelligence micro-credentials, which teach learners how to take raw data and use it to answer real-world questions.
Rita first enrolled in the Data for Decision Making micro-credential. She says she loved how the course was designed.
“I get the opportunity to work on a real-world project, whereby the objective of the project is not just to clean and analyse data, but to provide and present usable insight to stakeholders in a way that is valuable and actionable.”
She designed a data product to evaluate the Real Estate market from the mortgage lending perspective.
Her project revealed behaviours, trends, and LVR risks for different borrower groups including first-home buyers and investors from 2014 to 2022. It looked at how changes in interest rates had affected the market.
“The data product also makes a trend analysis on the impact of supply and demand, lending policy, and interest rates on the housing market for the general public.”
Rita says these insights can help different types of borrowers analyse the latest market conditions and combine historical housing market movements to make the most beneficial decisions for themselves.
“Furthermore, borrowers can also consider the policy changes as they relate to mortgage interest rates and LVR to balance their own lending risks.”
Overall, Rita was very pleased with everything she achieved during the hands-on programme.
“The course is very interactive and practical. It reinforced my knowledge of some basics and also upskilled me on the latest trends and technologies in Business Intelligence.”
She plans to continue her learning with Future Skills by completing another micro-credential in our Business Intelligence suite – AI-Powered Analytics. In the future, she would like to transition into the data analytics field.
“It's a great learning experience and opens big opportunities to explore the IT field.”
“The best part of this course is I learned so much in such a short time and the teachers are very supportive and helpful."
“It has been interesting for me and I will probably go on further in learning more and use it for my personal development in my career.”
“It reinforced my knowledge of some basics and also upskilled me on the latest trends and technologies in Business Intelligence.”
“We learned Power BI, Microsoft Excel, and also some Structured Query Learning basics which are definitely going to help me in my new job.”
“The course was very helpful for me to upskill myself and extend my confidence."
"The skills and knowledge from the course are helpful for me in handling grade distribution and creating pivot tables and charts, which are parts of my daily work."
“Without my tutor, I couldn't have thought of higher studies."
“Perfecting the art of welding has been one of my main goals.”
“I am so proud and captivated because I got a good job.”
“Within two and a half years, I've been able to completely change industry role.”
“The course I am studying at Future Skills Academy has opened other avenues for me."
