Sami Rassam Testimonial | From Pharmaceuticals to Data

Explore Sami's inspiring story and learn how Learning People's data certifications helped him make his career change.

Sami was working as a Pharmaceutical Scientist but felt that he wasn't making progress in his career. He enjoyed working with data in his role, so he reached out to Learning People to find out more about making a career change into the data industry.

Since enrolling with Learning People, Sami has earned his CompTIA Data+ and Microsoft DP 900 Azure Data Fundamentals
certifications. With our team's support, he has successfully transitioned from pharmaceuticals to data and landed a role as a Data Officer.

So I feel like my career has just been taken constant forward steps since I've enrolled with the Learning People, and I can only see it going in a positive trajectory from here.

So my goal when I enrolled with Learning People was to begin my career in the data industry, and I've recently obtained a job as a data officer. I'm really excited to start that, and I couldn't have done that without the help of Learning People.

My name is Sami, and I studied the Data Analyst Pathway with Learning People.
I first decided to reach out to Learning People because I wanted to transition from my career in the pharmaceutical industry to a career in the data industry. I was looking for a course that I could do at my own pace, and I could do alongside my work, where I could achieve all the certifications that I needed to become a data analyst, and luckily Learning People just provided everything that I was looking for.
My initial career consultation was really positive. I spoke to Jack and he outlined what the course would entail. He answered every question that I had, and he was just really encouraging about the course and made it sound like a really good decision for me. The learning experience just suited me down to the ground. I had support there when I needed to. The StudentCare team were there for me to reach out to whenever I needed to.
I came into the data analyst pathway as someone who uh had never used SQL had very limited understanding of Python. I'd only really used Excel really in a data capacity before. Now I'm very skilled with both SQL, Python, PowerBI.

I've obtained my CompTIA Data+ certification, my Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals certification and now I have obtained a role as a data officer, which I'm excited to start as well. So yeah, none of this would have been possible without the learning people. So definitely I would say it's worth the investment.
