Welcome! If you see Data Science as a potential career in your future, this is the perfect course to get started with.
Our course does not require any previous Data Science experience. The goal of 'Data Science for Beginners' is to get you acquainted with Data Science methodology, data science concepts, programming languages, give you a peak into how machine learning works, and finally show you a data science tool like GitHub, which lets you collaborate with your colleagues.
Now, while this is a beginner course, it does not mean that it is an easy course. For example in the Data Science methodology section, many different concepts are introduced. But please keep in mind that a. you will get concrete examples of what each concept means when it is brought up b. you can ask questions and c. most importantly, you are not meant to understand all the concepts fully.
Going through the methodology is meant to introduce you to concepts, not prepare you to fully apply them. You will get a chance to do this in other courses (ours or other providers).
Beyond this, you will get to build a simple chatbot. This hands on activity will illustrate in a more interactive way how machine learning works and how you can provide a machine learning service such as this in your future career.
So, do not hesitate. Start your Data Science learning journey today!
Our course is self paced and includes over 3 hours of video lectures. You will learn primarily via our high quality video lectures, but when needed, you will have access to Online Tutor support, that is 1 on 1 support, whenever you request it.
