Unlock the power of data with our comprehensive 16-hour certificate program designed to equip participants with the skills to perform advanced data analysis, communicate insights effectively, and implement robust data analytics strategies within your organization. This course is an immersive, lab-driven learning experience built for internal auditors who want to confidently use data to strengthen audit quality, insights, and impact. This program emphasizes applied learning through an interactive hands-on lab environment where you will build real analytics workflows using Excel, SQL, Power BI, Python-in-Excel, and AI-powered tools.
If you're ready to move beyond theoretical discussions of data—and start actually doing analytics—this program gives you the skills, tools, and confidence to make it happen.
Participants who complete the course are eligible to sit for the certificate exam, administered through The IIA’s learning management system (LMS). Each course segment includes a brief multiple‑choice practice quiz, along with additional practice questions, to help reinforce learning and build confidence throughout the course. After completing all segments, participants must pass a 40‑question multiple‑choice exam and are allowed up to three attempts before a retake fee applies. All quizzes and exams are open‑resource, allowing learners to focus on understanding concepts and applying them in practice rather than memorization.
