Who is this course suitable for? No prior knowledge is assumed for this course other than having basic IT skills. However, if you are planning to use your own laptop for the training, you need to have installed Tableau desktop in advance (a version is available for user installation on University of Leeds Windows computers, via the Software Center). You should be able to obtain a free temporary licence (see https://www.tableau.com/products/trial) or request an individual licence under the Tableau for Teaching scheme (https://www.tableau.com/en-gb/academic/teaching). Before the workshop, you are expected to have completed Steps 1 – 5 of “Getting Started with Tableau Desktop”(https://help.tableau.com/current/guides/get-started-tutorial/en-us/get-started-tutorial-home.htm).
