Less watching. More doing.
Practice the skill while you learn it.
Academy is for beginners finding their footing and people who want more confidence with everyday data work. You do not need a company dataset or a connected warehouse to begin. Each course gives you a curriculum, an exercise to focus on, and a next step.
Work with the idea, not just the explanation
Move around an Excel-style worksheet, select columns with SQL, decide what a row represents in BI, or practice home-row keys in Typing. The exercises turn a concept into a task you can try yourself.
Use feedback to improve your next attempt
Check your work in the lesson and use the feedback to understand what to revisit. Typing drills show scoring feedback so you can work on accuracy and rhythm. Repeat practice when you need it, then move forward.
What will you be able to do?
Excel
Navigate worksheets, build reliable formulas, summarize records, and clean text. Put the skills to work in budgets, reports, and everyday spreadsheet tasks.
SQL
Read tables, select and filter rows, summarize data, and join records carefully. Build toward queries you can use to investigate a practical business question.
BI
Recognize the grain of a table, distinguish dimensions and measures, and choose useful visuals. Build a stronger foundation for metrics and dashboards.
Typing
Practice the home row, add new keys, and build toward words and sentences. Focus on accuracy and use drill feedback to develop a steady rhythm.
A manageable first step
New to data? Start with the work in front of you.
Choose Excel if you work with spreadsheets, SQL if you want to retrieve answers from tables, or BI if you want to understand reporting decisions. Typing helps you build comfort with the keyboard. There is no required order between courses.

Questions, answered
Before your first lesson
- How much can I learn without signing in?
- The first three lessons in the first module of each course are available here without an account. All exercises in those lessons are included, including every drill in the Typing lessons. Other lessons ask you to sign in.
- What happens to my progress?
- Preview progress is stored locally in your current browser when storage is available. If storage fails, a visible message lets you know. Use the sign-in prompt to transfer your work into the app on the same browser and device. Clearing browser data can remove a local preview.
- Is everything free after I sign in?
- Signing in lets you continue in the app. Starter includes free Academy modules; Pro, Team, and Enterprise include full Academy access. The public preview is limited to the first three lessons of the first module in each course.
- Do I need special software?
- Preview exercises run in your browser with the provided practice data. A desktop or laptop gives you more space for worksheet and query exercises. For Typing, use a physical keyboard to follow the intended drills.
- Can I switch between courses?
- Yes. Each course has its own learning path and preview progress. Choose the subject that matches your immediate goal and come back to the others when you are ready.
