How Our Data Cleaning Project Walkthrough Course Works

By now, you know how much time data professionals spend turning incomprehensible and messy datasets into clean, uniform, and useful datasets. In your data science career, you’ll rarely get a dataset that is precisely the way you need it to be. That’s why data cleaning is such an invaluable skill in data science. We’ve created this course to help you acquire, refine, and retain this skill to make you a valuable asset to any data science team. We’ve structured this course to build on our previous Advanced Data Cleaning course.

At Dataquest, our focus is to help you get hired as quickly as possible. That’s why we only use the best of the best teaching methods to help you develop the career skills you need. Unlike most online courses, we won’t subject you to boring “training videos” or “fill-in-the-blank” problems. With us, you’ll learn by using real code to solve real problems, starting on day one!

We designed this Data Cleaning Project Walkthrough course with your career success in mind. We’ve carefully crafted every one of our hands-on and interactive lessons to go beyond simply learning data cleaning — you’ll put it into practice using real-world datasets. In this course, you’ll work with a diverse pool of data ranging from NYC public school data to Marvel’s Avengers to Star Wars.

The object of this course is one of the areas where Dataquest really shines. We know how crucial it is for aspiring data professionals to have a compelling portfolio. It’s one of the first and most important things hiring managers look for! That’s why all of our courses offer guided practice and culminating portfolio projects just like this one. It’s our goal to help you build a data cleaning portfolio that potential employers can’t ignore!
