Why DADDM 2026?
A mentorship built for the work, not the certificate.
DADDM 2026 is structured to bridge the three main gaps most analysts hit on the road from learner to hired professional.
1
Gap 01
Beyond the Basics
For analysts who already have foundational knowledge but are struggling to level up.
2
Gap 02
Beyond the Tools
The business and technical realities of what data analysts really do inside an organization.
3
Gap 03
Beyond the Program
Practical strategies to navigate the job market and actually get hired.
The DADDM approach

FAQ
Answers, before you ask.
Yes — DADDM is designed for intermediate analysts. You should have some exposure to Excel, SQL, or a BI tool.
Cohort 1 received 287 applications for 60 seats and was closed 2 days after opening. Selection was by a series of thorough skills checks and alignment of goals with the program. Cohort 2 requires financial commitment with few slots open and is on a first pay basis.
Plan for 6–8 hours per week — live sessions, project work, assignment reviews, progress spot-checks and weekly office hours. All live sessions are recorded and available throughout the cohort.
Every module ends in a real-world deliverable, and the capstone is presented to an executive panel. You also receive a certificate, but your portfolio and capstone are the real outcomes.
Fully remote, with live sessions scheduled to suit African time zones. You'll work through Excel, Power BI, Python, SQL, and presentation tools. We provide datasets and templates.
We focus on career positioning, referrals, and portfolio readiness — not guaranteed placement. However, in Cohort 1, more than 4 people landed their first data analytics job before the program even ended, and that number has now grown to 30% of participants.
Yes — we provide invoices and sponsor-ready documentation on request. A full refund is available before the second week of the cohort.
No. Cohort 2 is a paid program with no scholarships.

Absolutely. Your capstone is your portfolio piece — yours to publish and present.
