For data or MIS analystBI Developer

Who this is for
You already do part of this job. The program closes the gap between where you are and being seen as a BI Developer.
Probably not for you, yet
If you haven't worked in the domain at all, a counsellor will say so on the call and point you to a better starting program. If you want a certificate more than a portfolio, this isn't it.
What you'll build
Each project is modelled on the mentors' production work and reviewed 1:1. Together they are your portfolio.
Project 1
Modelled on the mentor's production work, with the messy parts left in, reviewed 1:1.
Project 2
Brief, build, review: the way a manager would hand it to you, with the checks that stop it breaking next month.
Project 3
Published, documented and defended, with the notes a senior would give you.

Arvind Tiwary
Applied Business Intelligence Fellowship
Arvind Tiwary
Senior analytics consultant
Arvind trains the analyst's working stack: Python and Alteryx for preparing and automating data, SQL for querying it, and Excel for the models and reports that run on it. He teaches the consultant's habits as well: scoping the work with the person who will use it, and handing it over so it survives without you.
Sarvdeep Singh
Applied Business Intelligence Fellowship
Sarvdeep Singh
Data & BI mentor
Sarvdeep mentors across the Data & BI programs: Power BI dashboards, SQL for the questions behind them, and Excel for the analysis most teams still start in, with the reporting discipline that makes an analyst's numbers trusted on a Monday morning.
Jitendra Singh
Applied Business Intelligence Fellowship
Jitendra Singh
Lead Instructor
Jitendra leads instruction at TTFA across the analytics stack: Alteryx workflows, Tableau and Power BI dashboards, SQL and Python on real company data, and the GenAI layer on top of them, from agents and MCP to RAG. He teaches the job the way it is done at work: real data, in the order you meet it, with the mistakes left in.
How the weeks run
A counsellor confirms the exact days and times for your batch on the call.
Two evenings a week with the mentor, on the work of the week.
Project time with the mentor in the room: build, get stuck, get unstuck.
Every class recorded the same day; 1:1 doubt-solving whenever you're stuck.
Your projects reviewed like production work, with notes you can act on.

Questions
Anything else: ask on the call.
Yes. The program assumes you know your work, not the tool. If you've never worked in the domain, a counsellor will point you to a better start.
Every class is recorded the same day, and 1:1 slots exist for exactly this. Most people who fall behind catch up in a week.
There is career support: mock interviews, profile reviews and referrals where we have them. Nobody honest can promise you a role; your projects make the case for you.
A counsellor looks at what you do today and tells you, straight, whether Applied Business Intelligence Fellowship is the right next step.
