Core skills

Everyone can become a Data Citizen. But to do so, it’s essential to have a basic level of data literacy.

Core skills will give learners a grounding in how data is used in different organisations and across society, and an understanding of different data concepts and key data roles. This skills/capabilities of this theme broadly align with the SQA’s Data Citizenship units at SCQF levels 4 and 5.

For potential Data Leaders who are new to working with data, a grasp of the key concepts is essential before proceeding further.
