I had intended to write a post about each aspect of the accreditation after each session with the group but life got in the way πŸ˜† Hopefully it won't be too long until the next one on the accreditation's CPD requirements...

My main interests are data science leadership, communication of complex data ideas to non-techy people and the geeky technical side of data science
