We've distilled more than 10 years' experience running a data journalism business into a concise introduction to the core skills that will get you started in a data journalism career.

Each part in the series will walk you through the key issues you should know about and the tools you can use.

We introduce you to all the skills you need to find data, prepare it, analyse it and turn it into visualisations. We'll also share ideas on how to find stories in data and our top tips for making compelling visualisations.

In this example course we will cover:

- Basic spreadsheets: Part 1
- Basic spreadsheets: Part 2
- Visualisation: Part 1
- Visualisation: Part 2
- Visualisation: Part 3

This course is an example course based on Africa Data Hub material previously published.
