Analytics Jumpstart

This is a synchronous online class, which means you'll still attend class sessions during class time and receive plenty of hands-on experience and time with the instructor. You will need a camera and microphone on your laptop to participate in class. If you've wanted to learn at NSS, here's your opportunity to get a taste of our online learning environment!
