The Data School is the training arm of The Information Lab, the leading Tableau and Alteryx partner across Europe and beyond.

New to data or never heard of Tableau and Alteryx? Not a problem! The Data School is training the next generation of data analysts and, particularly, Tableau and Alteryx specialists. For four months, you’ll be taught by some of the world's best Tableau and Alteryx users. You will also learn broader skills about storing, managing and presenting data, as well as personal skills to help boost your confidence in becoming an exceptional consultant. Then you’ll take part in four placements, where you’ll have the opportunity to use these skills to directly help our customers with their data.
Everyone! There are no entry requirements that relate to your background, education or existing technical skills. Some of us do have strong technical backgrounds (in maths or data), but equally others have backgrounds in industries and interests as varied as journalism or hospitality and amongst us, we have both career starters and career changers. We want to continue to encourage a wider group to join us – not only with varied professional backgrounds but also cultural backgrounds. We know that our differences give us strength and that a greater variety of viewpoints leads to better insight into data. The only common ground needed therefore is a passion for the subject.
Whether in training or on placement, you always have support from our internal community of 300+ data professionals. You'll find it easy to get help on technical and not-so-technical matters from the whole team. We have pod and mentor systems to provide that extra layer of personal help, provide a social experiance and to introduce you to the wider company.
You will be encouraged to keep on learning and to share what you’ve learned in the form of blog posts, videos, talks, and any other way you want. You'll build a portfolio of work that you can carry with you into your career.
We’re committed to making The Information Lab a welcoming place for everyone, regardless of race, religion, religious belief, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, marital status or sexual orientation and know that this makes us a better place to work and in a better place to serve our customers. We have a flat hierarchy and a transparent way of working, everyone is encouraged to put forward their views.
The feeling that no time is ever wasted because you learn from every experience at The Information Lab. It really encourages me to try things, and feels great when you finally get it working or find someone who can help you get there.
It's a great place to work with a promising career ahead, following the stellar training and placements.
The application process is perfect as it truly asks you for what you can do rather than apologise for what you don't have. I didn't need to worry about being a fresh graduate nor having little-to-no coding skills.
