Participant's review:
"I am a black woman. There are no black women in data. I was scared to take the course, but Ties’ patience and dad jokes made me push through. I fell in love with SQL, and will do a rotation next quarter as technical product analyst! Thanks SO MUCH for believing in me!”

"The facilitation of the course by the instructors, Max and Ties, is excellent. The content is divided into easy-to-follow, digestible sections that build on each other each week, and are supported by relevant real-life case studies.
Their competency as well as their open and supportive approach makes this an all-around perfect SQL training for anyone who wants to build a solid foundation of SQL skills. I’ve never seen SQL content delivered this simple and fun. I would highly recommend this course ‘SQL for Analysts Full Masterclass’ :)"
Fantastic course! I’ve taken part in different virtual courses in the past and can say that not only is this great from a content and experience perspective but I’ve found the skills I learned have really sunk in and been helpful in my day to day. The presenters know their stuff and teach in a way that makes the subject matter real.
What I loved about the SQL course offered by Cognitas, is that it was very agile! A mix between live webinars with Q&A, at-home revisions and tasks and follow-ups the next sessions, all made the pace very convenient to navigate and the content easier to digest. The instructors work in a great team dynamic making the sessions very enjoyable. If your work includes making data-driven decisions then this course is a great way to sharpen your skills and work more effectively and efficiently.
I had the ambition to transition from Technology Sales to Sales Strategy, fully aware of the business context but needing to develop the technical skills to get there.
Working with Cognitas took me from zero to hero, equipping me with everything I needed to ace my interview and excel as a Data Analyst. Even after securing the role, they continue to support me, helping me build new skills to reach my next goal.
The founders are not just great teachers—they’re world-class Data Analytics practitioners with a deep understanding of how Data Analytics drives business outcomes.
Ties is Head of Data at one of the biggest European Venture Capital firms. Prior to this, he was a Data Science facilitator and Analytics Manager at Google.
He worked on projects from Air Quality monitoring to Revenue Reporting & Process Automation for >$10b in annual revenue.
Max is a lead analytics engineer at a top tech company. He led the transformation of the strategy & operations departments into a data-driven organisation. The business intelligence infrastructure that he created is currently used by >15k users.
Additionally, he built the analytics training curriculum for the Strategy teams globally (>500 FTE).
+ Google's data teams are staffed mainly by non-black, male employees with a STEM background and there is not enough diversity in the recruitment pipeline for data roles.
+ To solve for that, Cognitas collaborated with Google to make a Zero to Hero SQL course available for the Black Googler Network without any cost for the employees and prepare them for internal applications to data roles that require SQL tests.
