Altogether 791 people were registered from 86 countries. 338 participants actually started the course (i.e. tried at least one graded test at least once) and out of them 221 successfully completed the course. The overall completion rate was 28%. The completion rate of participants who actually started the studies was 65%. All statistics during the five years can be found in the table below.
Year | No of registrations | No of countries | Active participants | Completion rate: Overall | Completion rate: Participants who started studies |
2017 | 303 | 61 | 224 | 55% | 75% |
2018 | 424 | 71 | 236 | 37% | 67% |
2019 | 426 | 70 | 227 | 29% | 55% |
2020 | 515 | 77 | 267 | 31% | 60% |
2021 | 791 | 86 | 338 | 28% | 65% |
Both the overall completion rate, as well as the completion rate of those participants who actually started the course have stabilized. The latter completion rate can be considered very good by any measure. As has been the usual case with our online courses, the questions from the participants were often very interesting, often addressed things that are really important to analysts in their everyday work. Such discussions made teaching this course a great experience also for us, the teachers!
We want to thank all participants for helping to make this course a success!
We plan to repeat this course again in Autumn-Winter 2021-2022.
