Data visualisation is much more than just pie charts. In this half-day, non-technical course, our data experts will introduce you to practical and creative ways to communicate data.

Through case studies and hands-on exercises, you’ll explore how to make information clearer, more engaging, and more impactful; whether online, in print, or in the real world.

We’ll look at the strengths and limitations of traditional visualisations, explore alternative formats, and dig into what makes a data story work. You’ll be encouraged to think critically about the data you collect and share, and to experiment with new ways of presenting it.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a broader data communications toolkit, a better sense of when to use it, and a sharper eye for what works - and why. Whether you’re informing, persuading or provoking action, this course will help you connect with your audience and bring your data to life.

This Data Communication course is available as a private session that can be delivered via Virtual Classroom, at our training centre in The Shard, London, or at a location of your choice across the UK.
