Suggested sequence

  1. Review 20–30 Data Analyst vacancies and record actual tasks, mandatory requirements and tools.
  2. Define the bridge from Beekeeping Test Engineer: practical knowledge of living and production systems. Prepare two examples where this experience produced a measurable result.
  3. Learn AI-system evaluation and model-behavior monitoring to the level of completing an independent practical task—not merely finishing a course.
  4. Build a working prototype, publish the code in a repository, and add tests, documentation and a decision record.
  5. Review 20–30 vacancies and choose only courses or certificates that repeatedly appear in employer requirements.
  6. Rewrite your résumé for Data Analyst, add the case and begin with test applications, internships, projects or adjacent tasks at your current employer.
Timeline and pay are indicative. They depend on starting skills, location, experience, weekly study time and employer requirements.
