Total study time: 24 hours

Big Data Pipelines with Tableau, SparkR, and MongoDB 

In today’s data-driven world, Big Data pipelines are essential for innovation and informed decision-making. So, what exactly is a pipeline? A Big Data pipeline is a modern approach to collecting, processing, analyzing, and visualizing large volumes of data—automatically and efficiently. In short, it’s the digital workflow that turns raw information into actionable insights.

To make this possible, several key tools play a central role in the process:

  • First, Tableau helps you present complex data in an easy-to-understand visual format using interactive dashboards. As a result, sharing insights becomes fast and intuitive.
  • Next, SparkR brings together the statistical power of R with the speed of Apache Spark, allowing you to analyze massive datasets quickly and efficiently.
  • Finally, MongoDB, a NoSQL database, is ideal for storing unstructured data like JSON documents. It offers the flexibility needed to adapt to evolving data structures.

Together, these tools create a powerful foundation for large-scale data analysis. Whether you’re working with geospatial data, customer behavior, or sensor readings, the core techniques remain the same.

What will you learn in this blended learning course?

This course offers a practical, hands-on introduction to building Big Data pipelines using Tableau, SparkR, and MongoDB. Whether you’re just starting out in data analytics or looking to sharpen your current skills, you’ll learn how to process and analyze large datasets with confidence.

To start, you’ll design structured data pipelines that help manage continuous data flows. Next, you’ll use SparkR to perform distributed data analysis. After that, you’ll bring your results to life by building interactive dashboards in Tableau. In addition, you’ll gain hands-on experience with MongoDB—learning how to store, query, and manage unstructured data effectively.

The course is delivered through a blended learning model, which combines online modules with live, interactive sessions. This means you can learn at your own pace while still applying your new skills right away through practical, real-world assignments.

Why choose this course on Big Data pipelines with Tableau, SparkR, and MongoDB?

Blended learning gives you the best of both worlds—live interaction and flexible self-paced study—so you can build real, job-ready skills in Big Data analytics. In this course, you’ll get hands-on with Tableau, SparkR, and MongoDB and learn how to build end-to-end pipelines that turn raw data into clear, actionable results.

We start with a live session, where you’ll begin working with real datasets from day one. With support from experienced data professionals, you’ll learn how to clean and structure data using SparkR, store and manage it with MongoDB, and visualize it using Tableau.

Next, our self-paced modules walk you through key concepts in distributed processing, NoSQL data handling, and dashboard design. Along the way, you’ll explore how to manage large data volumes, design interactive visualizations, and streamline your analysis process.

Then, in a second live session, you’ll put your new skills to the test. You’ll build a complete pipeline from start to finish, solve real-world challenges, and receive expert feedback to help you refine your workflow.

One of the highlights of this course is its practical focus. You’ll work on realistic case-based scenarios inspired by challenges in areas like geospatial analysis, customer insights, and IoT data. That means everything you create in this course is relevant, usable, and directly applicable to your work.

By combining guided instruction with flexible study, this course helps you do more than just use the tools. You’ll leave with the confidence to independently build, analyze, and visualize Big Data workflows—and the ability to turn complex data into smart, data-driven decisions.
