Training programme

1. Introduction to Knime

KNIME starts here from the practical basics needed to work effectively in the environment. The section covers installation and configuration, orientation in the interface, and a functional overview that shows how the platform is organized before more advanced analytical tasks are introduced.

  • installation and configuration,
  • interface,
  • overview of functions.

2. Workflow – creating flows

Building flows in KNIME means understanding how workflows are structured, executed, and managed in practice. This section explains the logic of connecting nodes, operating within the workflow environment, and using import or export mechanisms to transfer solutions between contexts.

  • structure and operation,
  • import/export.

3. Loading data

XML, CSV, and TXT files often enter analytical work in very different forms, which affects how they should be handled. Here the focus is on loading these formats into KNIME correctly, so that source structure is preserved and the data can move cleanly into subsequent processing stages.

  • xml,
  • csv,
  • txt.

4. Data analysis

Working with heterogeneous datasets begins with recognizing data types and preparing them for consistent processing. The section covers standardization, operations on columns and records, as well as transformations and data modeling needed to build a reliable analytical structure inside KNIME.

  • types of data,
  • standardization of data,
  • operations on columns,
  • operations on records,
  • data transformations,
  • data modeling.

5. Data mining

Data mining in KNIME is presented as a practical approach to discovering patterns, dependencies, and useful structures hidden in datasets. The content covers the role of data mining in analysis and the main techniques used to extract information that is not visible through basic inspection alone.

  • data mining,
  • data mining techniques.

6. Data automation with Knime

Repeated analytical tasks can become inefficient and error-prone without a structured automation approach. This section addresses how KNIME supports data automation by organizing recurring operations into reusable processes, helping maintain consistency, reduce manual work, and streamline execution.

7. Forecasting

Forecasting requires more than generating future values, so the section starts from core principles that make projections reliable. Special attention is given to identifying trend patterns and using them correctly in forecasts, with emphasis on how trend affects interpretation and model setup.

  • principles of forecasting,
  • trend – searching for and using in forecasts.

8. Other tools in integration with Knime

When KNIME needs to extend beyond built-in nodes, integration with Java, R, and Python becomes essential. This part explains where each language fits in the workflow, how it supports custom processing or statistical work, and how external logic can be connected with KNIME execution.

  • Java,
  • R,
  • Python.

9. Report building

Turning workflow results into readable outputs is the focus here. Participants work with report structure, presentation of analytical findings, and the transfer of processed data into forms that support interpretation, communication, and further use in business or operational contexts.

10. Training summary

The closing segment brings the full KNIME workflow into one coherent picture, from data ingestion to analysis, automation, forecasting and reporting. It is used to consolidate key decisions, connect techniques discussed earlier, and clarify how individual components support complete analytical processes.

What are the prerequisites for participating in the training?

icon

Basic computer skills - You should be comfortable using your operating system, installing software, and working with files and folders so you can start using the KNIME environment without difficulty.

icon

Understanding tabular data - You should understand rows, columns, data types, and basic text-based file formats so you can work more easily with datasets imported into KNIME during the training.

icon

Basic data analysis awareness - You should have a general understanding of filtering, sorting, and comparing data, because the training focuses on practical processing and exploration of datasets.

icon

Readiness for hands-on work - You should be ready to complete exercises on your own and test different ways of working with data, because the training is strongly practice-based and workflow-oriented.
