Programming.school has officially presented the vision and conceptual framework for its upcoming course “Data Science for Business,” designed for office professionals, managers, and decision-makers who want to adopt a data-driven mindset and strengthen their analytical competencies.
The product team has finalized the course structure, defined its core modules, and created a complete visual roadmap of the learning journey. The development of instructional materials is now underway, and in the coming weeks programming.school will host its first demo classes, allowing potential learners to experience the methodology and practical value of the program.
A Strategic Step in the Growth of programming.school in Vietnam
Presenting the course vision marks an important milestone in programming.school’s expansion in Vietnam.
According to the project’s founder Sergey Shedov, the mission of programming.school is to help people unlock their potential through practical technology education and to empower professionals with tools that make them stronger and more independent in their work.
“We create programs that strengthen people — not only technically, but professionally. When someone understands how to work with data, they can influence decisions, challenge assumptions, and meaningfully improve processes in their company.”
— Sergey Shedov, Founder of programming.school
The course vision and practical implementation are developed under the leadership of Ruslan Abkadirov, head of product at programming.school Vietnam, who ensures that the curriculum is grounded in real-world tasks and directly applicable to the everyday work of office professionals.
What “Data Science for Business” Will Address
The program is built around the real challenges faced by professionals in modern companies:
- the need to validate business decisions using data;
- the ability to detect mistakes and misinterpretations in statistical results;
- the desire to present and defend ideas convincingly;
- the transition from intuition-based to data-driven thinking.
This is not a career-change course for aspiring analysts — it is a practical toolkit for professionals who want to elevate the way they work today.
Course Roadmap and Conceptual Structure
The finalized learning vision includes a step-by-step path through core themes:
- Foundations of statistics and business metrics
- Google Sheets / Excel: from basics to advanced tools
- Data preprocessing (cleaning, filtering, filling gaps)
- Visualization rules and BI tools (Looker Studio, Power BI)
- Specialized statistics software (JASP, SPSS, Stata, etc.)
- Basics of forecasting and analytical models
- Six practical projects forming a complete professional portfolio
The visual roadmap illustrates the course progression — from understanding key metrics to confidently performing data analysis and creating actionable insights.

Why This Matters for Vietnam’s Growing Professional Sector
Vietnam’s economy is rapidly evolving, but many companies struggle with a shortage of professionals who can:
- interpret data correctly;
- challenge assumptions and validate ideas;
- visualize results persuasively;
- increase efficiency using analytical reasoning.
“A manager who understands statistics becomes a far more powerful figure inside the company. This course is built for exactly such professionals.”
— Ruslan Abkadirov, Cheef product officer of programming.school
