Last updated: June 2025

The Certified Workforce and Talent Analytics Specialist (CWTAS) course is a strategic certification designed for HR professionals, analysts, and organisational leaders seeking to master the power of workforce analytics and evidence-based talent decision-making. In today’s data-driven economy, human resources can no longer rely solely on instinct or historical practices. Instead, strategic organisations are turning to HR analytics to anticipate talent needs, optimise workforce planning, and align talent with business goals. This course equips you with the practical skills and theoretical foundations to become a data-literate HR professional capable of driving measurable impact.

At the core of the Certified Workforce and Talent Analytics Specialist programme is the understanding that HR must evolve from administrative oversight to predictive, strategic enablement. This certification provides participants with the knowledge to collect, analyse, interpret, and present workforce data to inform talent strategies and business outcomes. It bridges the gap between HR intuition and empirical insight, enabling evidence-based decision-making across recruitment, performance management, retention, learning, succession planning, and organisational development.

The course begins by grounding learners in the fundamentals of workforce and talent analytics understanding what data is, where to find it, and how to ensure its accuracy, relevance, and ethical use. Participants are then introduced to key analytics methodologies including descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics. Special focus is placed on visualisation tools such as Power BI, Tableau, and Excel dashboards to ensure data-driven insights can be communicated effectively to business stakeholders.

What makes the Certified Workforce and Talent Analytics Specialist course unique is its practical, business-focused approach. You will explore real-world applications of analytics to answer questions such as:

• How can we optimise learning and development ROI?
• Why is our top talent leaving?
• How can we reduce time-to-hire?
• Which employees are at risk of burnout or underperformance?
• What skills will we need to future-proof our workforce?

This certification is ideal for:

• HR Analysts and HRBPs seeking to strengthen their analytics capability
• Talent Managers responsible for workforce planning or succession pipelines
• OD and L&D professionals who want to measure learning impact
• Business leaders and consultants advising on organisational transformation
• Anyone seeking to elevate their HR profile through data-driven skills

All participants will receive a verifiable certificate and digital badge upon successful completion, which can be showcased on your LinkedIn profile or submitted for CPD recognition. The course is designed for approximately 15–20 hours of self-paced learning and includes access to downloadable templates, sample dashboards, and analytics frameworks.
