  1. Foundations: Customer Metrics & Data Literacy

    3 weeks
    Goals
    • Understand NPS methodology, its variants (relationship, transactional, employee), and industry benchmarks
    • Build proficiency in Python and SQL for data manipulation and querying
    • Learn basic statistical concepts: distributions, significance testing, confidence intervals
    Resources
    • Fred Reichheld - 'The Ultimate Question 2.0'
    • Coursera: Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate
    • Mode Analytics SQL Tutorial
    • Kaggle: Python & Pandas micro-courses
    Milestone

    You can clean, query, and summarize NPS survey data programmatically and explain NPS methodology to a non-technical audience.

  2. Text Analytics & Sentiment Analysis

    4 weeks
    Goals
    • Apply NLP techniques to extract themes and sentiment from open-ended NPS verbatims
    • Fine-tune HuggingFace transformer models on domain-specific CX text
    • Use OpenAI API and prompt engineering for zero-shot and few-shot feedback classification
    Resources
    • HuggingFace NLP Course (free)
    • OpenAI Cookbook and API documentation
    • spaCy documentation for entity and keyword extraction
    • Towards Data Science: Sentiment Analysis tutorials
    Milestone

    You can build an end-to-end pipeline that ingests raw NPS comments and outputs labeled, sentiment-scored theme clusters using both fine-tuned and LLM-based approaches.

  3. Predictive Modeling & Advanced Analytics

    5 weeks
    Goals
    • Build churn prediction models that combine NPS scores with behavioral and transactional data
    • Design cohort-based NPS trend analysis with time-series decomposition
    • Implement A/B testing frameworks for survey optimization
    Resources
    • scikit-learn documentation for classification and regression
    • Coursera: Advanced Statistics by University of Amsterdam
    • Evan Miller's A/B testing calculator and methodology guide
    • AWS SageMaker Canvas for low-code ML experimentation
    Milestone

    You can build a predictive model that flags at-risk customers 30 days before likely churn using NPS trajectory and behavioral signals, and validate it with proper hold-out testing.

  4. CX Data Infrastructure & Automation

    4 weeks
    Goals
    • Design ETL pipelines that unify NPS data from multiple survey channels with CRM and support systems
    • Build automated NPS alerting and reporting workflows using LangChain and Retool
    • Implement RAG-based systems for querying historical NPS insights conversationally
    Resources
    • dbt Learn (free fundamentals course)
    • LangChain documentation for retrieval-augmented generation
    • Retool tutorials for internal tool building
    • Airbyte or Fivetran for data integration patterns
    Milestone

    You can architect an automated NPS intelligence system that ingests multi-channel feedback, processes it with AI, and delivers actionable alerts to stakeholders without manual intervention.

  5. Strategic Communication & Portfolio Building

    2 weeks
    Goals
    • Master data storytelling techniques for executive NPS presentations
    • Build a portfolio of NPS analysis projects demonstrating end-to-end capability
    • Prepare for interviews with scenario-based NPS problem-solving practice
    Resources
    • Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic - 'Storytelling with Data'
    • GitHub Pages for portfolio hosting
    • Mock interview platforms: Pramp, Interviewing.io
    • NPS benchmark reports from Bain, Satmetrix, and Qualtrics
    Milestone

    You have a polished GitHub portfolio with 3-4 NPS projects and can confidently present NPS strategy recommendations to a VP of Customer Experience.

Practice Projects

Apply your skills with hands-on projects. Ordered by difficulty.

NPS Verbatim Theme Classifier with HuggingFace

Beginner

Build a text classification pipeline that categorizes NPS open-ended responses into predefined themes (e.g., product quality, support experience, pricing, onboarding) using a fine-tuned DistilBERT model. Train on a labeled dataset of 5,000+ verbatims and achieve >85% accuracy.

~25h
Sentiment analysis and text classification using transformer modelsPython-based data wrangling with pandas, NumPy, and polarsSQL for querying CX data warehouses and customer 360 tables

LLM-Powered NPS Insight Generator

Intermediate

Create an application using the OpenAI API that ingests raw NPS survey data and automatically generates executive-ready summary reports with key themes, trend highlights, and recommended actions. Include structured output parsing and few-shot prompting for consistent quality.

~30h
Prompt engineering for LLM-powered feedback categorizationData storytelling and executive dashboard designCustomer segmentation and cohort-based NPS analysis

Churn Prediction Model Using NPS Trajectory

Advanced

Build a machine learning model that predicts customer churn probability using NPS score history, verbatim sentiment, product usage data, and support interaction volume. Deploy as a REST API with SageMaker and create a Streamlit dashboard showing real-time churn risk scores with SHAP explanations.

~50h
Predictive churn modeling from NPS and behavioral signalsCustomer segmentation and cohort-based NPS analysisETL pipeline design for multi-source feedback aggregation

Conversational NPS Data Assistant with LangChain RAG

Advanced

Build a retrieval-augmented generation system that allows CX leaders to ask natural language questions about NPS data and receive data-backed answers with source citations. Index historical NPS reports and verbatims in a vector store and implement multi-step reasoning chains.

~40h
SQL for querying CX data warehouses and customer 360 tablesSentiment analysis and text classification using transformer modelsPrompt engineering for LLM-powered feedback categorization

Automated NPS Alert and Closed-Loop System

Intermediate

Design and implement an end-to-end system that monitors incoming NPS responses in real-time, applies AI-based severity scoring, and automatically creates follow-up tasks in a CRM when detractor scores from high-value accounts are detected. Include Slack notifications and response tracking.

~35h
