This course will provide attendees with a solid understanding of how to effectively communicate data visually. The training aims to facilitate this understanding by de-constructing this contemporary, multi-disciplinary craft.
The training agenda is structured around a proven design process that helps you to organise and optimise your critical thinking, irrespective of the data-driven communication challenges you are facing.

Attendees will build up, stage-by-stage, the knowledge and capability required to make the best creative, analytical, editorial, and contextual decisions. To fulfil this there are four key learning objectives:
1) To challenge your existing approaches towards creating and consuming visualisation and infographics, helping to clarify the capabilities required to enhance your competence and confidence.
2) To enlighten you about the wide range of visual communication design options including a gallery of chart types, interactive techniques, methods for annotating, features of colour, and choices around composition.
3) To equip you with an efficient work flow process and robust principles of effectiveness so you have a critical framework to make excellent choices.
4) To inspire you to elevate your ambitions by broadening your visual vocabulary and exposing you to the best examples and case studies.

This is not a technical course and will not be delivered through tutorial-based instruction explaining how to use certain tools or applications. The emphasis is on learning the underlying craft. However, during the course there will be profiles of the most common visualisation technologies.

The sessions are delivered entirely online using video conferencing and collaborative tools. All materials will be issued digitally, including the teaching slides, exercise files and further useful resources. Attendees will need laptops/desktops with camera and microphone access enabled.

Learning outcomes:

  • Understand the importance of context and audience
  • Focus attention to the most important points in your data
  • Deploy best practices and concepts of design in data visualization and data storytelling
  • How can you choose which chart to choose and when
  • What are the best practices for data visualisation?
  • How can you accommodate for accessibility issues, such as colour blindness?
  • Effective colour selection, and why it matters
  • How should dashboards be structured, and why
  • When does too much information turn into clutter, and what can you do about it

Computer Requirements:
You will need a PC laptop equipped with Excel 2007/2010/2013/2016/2019 to complete this course. We do not recommend Apple products.
A set of model examples will be provided for use during the course.
Online support is available after the course for continued dialogue with the tutor.

Competency requirements:
Delegates should be able to construct an =IF statement in Excel before attending this course

 

Who should attend?

This course is designed for and relevant to anybody who needs to communicate with data. You might be an analyst, statistician, or researcher looking to enhance the creativity and impact of your communications.

There are no technical pre-requisites for this course. You should have an instinct for and interest in sharing insights from data, and demonstrate an appetite for embracing fresh approaches to communicating data.
You should be willing to contribute to and learn from discussions with fellow attendees during exercise activities, doing so in a respectful and constructive manner. The course will be richer and more fun as a result

Capability Framework

What is a virtual classroom?

A virtual classroom provides the same great learning experience as other ICAEW training, except one difference, you can learn from your desk.

Being delivered online makes it so much easier to access in a busy working week and would definitively recommend this type of training. The breakout rooms work really well to allow you to get to know the other participants and share experiences.

Virtual classroom delegate

The focus is on the learner and creating an enriching classroom experience that connects participants globally. Using video, learners can converse and interact with the trainer and other learners in real-time. Whiteboards, break-out sessions, polls, screen-sharing, and interactive Q&A create an immersive learning experience.

I think the virtual training format using Zoom, and the survey features, and break out rooms, really works great. I had no problems engaging with the facilitator and felt he listened to what we said, and kept the pace of the content moving steadily.

Our public course programme is deliberately structured to encourage delegates from different organisations to participate. However, if you have six or more delegates who require development in the same area, we are able to run a more cost-effective and much wider range of courses tailored specifically to your organisation.

Organisations will have the choice to run our in-house courses online or in-person. 

These are ideal for organisations seeking hassle-free, flexible and cost-effective training delivered to multiple delegates at your location of choice. Whether we use our existing materials or develop new content for your business, our expertise lies in translating your requirements into a pragmatic, interactive training programme highly relevant to your people and organisation.

To discuss in-house training for your business please email academy@icaew.com or contact us through our enquiry form
