Is this course for me?
The course is open to everyone, irrespective of your level of knowledge about data quality. However, you will get the most out of the course if you have familiarised yourself with the Practical Guide to Characterising Data and Investigating Data Quality ( https://doi.org/10.5518/1481 ), which was written by a team led by the course tutor.
No prior technical knowledge is assumed for this course.
You may use any software for the practical work and you need to bring a laptop to use for that practical work, with the software installed.
