Short Couse in Data Science: An Introduction
Individuals who are just embarking on the data science journey either as a “STEM” (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fresh graduate or those looking to upskill into data science. Knowledge of either computer science, programming or strong mathematics background is essential.
Short Couse in Data Science: Intermediate
The intermediate course is designed to provide individuals who have 2-3 years experience working in a data analytics or analysis discipline such as finance, business planning, marketing or sales who are looking to develop an understanding of data science. Basic practical knowledge of computer science, programming or strong mathematics background is a must. The individual must have attended and passed the Beginner Data Science course or other associated data science course.
Short Couse in Data Science: Advance
Analytics practitioners who have more than 3 years of experience operating in a data analytics or analysis team looking to increase their knowledge in data science. They must have attended and passed the Intermediate Data Science course or other associated data science course.
Short Couse in Data Science: Expert
Data Science team leaders looking to step into senior management role. Must have attended the Short Course in Data Science: Advanced
or other associated data science course. -
