Data Science Trainee – No Experience Needed

Build a future-proof career in Data & AI – starting today.

Artificial Intelligence runs on data — and businesses are crying out for professionals who can collect, analyse, and interpret it.

Looking for a career change? Want something analytical, structured, and financially rewarding? Or maybe you're ready to break into tech but don’t know where to start? ITOL Recruit’s Data Analyst Career Programme is designed to take you from complete beginner to employable Data Analyst.

Most candidates secure their first role within 1-3 months of qualifying — often sooner in major cities.

Please note this is a training course and fees apply.

Job guaranteed - complete the programme and get a job or get your money back.

Our graduates earn £30,000–£65,000+.

Why Data?

Every business decision today is backed by data. From finance and healthcare to retail and sport, organisations rely on skilled analysts to interpret information and guide strategy.

Demand for Data and AI professionals continues to grow year on year, with excellent progression opportunities:

  • Junior Data Analyst – £30,000

  • Data Analyst – £50,000

  • Business Analyst – £60,000

  • Data Scientist – £65,000+

If you're detail-oriented, analytical, organised, and comfortable communicating insights to others, this could be the perfect career for you.

How It Works

Step 1 – Data Administration & Core Tools

Build essential, job-ready skills with practical training in:

  • Microsoft Excel (to expert level)

  • SQL – Extracting and querying data from databases

  • Python 3 – One of the most widely used languages in data analysis

  • Tableau – Creating dashboards and data visualisations

Study time: Approximately 30–60 hours

Assessment: Course completion (no formal exam)

You’ll gain hands-on experience using the same tools employers expect Data Analysts to know.

Step 2 – CompTIA Data+ Qualification

Earn the internationally recognised CompTIA Data+ certification.

This qualification covers:

  • Data mining

  • Data manipulation

  • Data visualisation

  • Reporting and interpretation

Study time: ~30 hours

Assessment: 1-hour professional exam

You’ll receive tutor support, exam simulators, and a live online revision workshop before sitting your exam.

Step 3 – Business Analysis Foundation (BCS Accredited)

Data Analysts and Business Analysts work closely together — and many professionals move between both roles.

You’ll complete the Business Analysis Foundation certification, accredited by the BCS (Chartered Institute of IT).

Study time: ~15 hours

Assessment: Online exam

This increases your employability and broadens your career options.

Step 4 – Recruitment Support

Once qualified, our recruitment team works with you to secure your first entry-level Data Analyst role.

You’ll receive:

  • Full CV review tailored to your new qualifications

  • Job application support

  • Mock interviews

  • Ongoing career guidance
