This course is designed for non-technical learners who work with data and want practical, realistic ways to use AI to improve communication, exploration, and productivity.

Aaron Melton

Business Analyst at Aditi Consulting

Dataquest starts at the most basic level, so a beginner can understand the concepts. I tried learning to code before, using Codecademy and Coursera. I struggled because I had no background in coding, and I was spending a lot of time Googling. Dataquest helped me actually learn.

Jessica Ko

Machine Learning Engineer at Twitter

I liked the interactive environment on Dataquest. The material was clear and well organized. I spent more time practicing then watching videos and it made me want to keep learning.

Victoria E. Guzik

Associate Data Scientist at Callisto Media

I really love learning on Dataquest. I looked into a couple of other options and I found that they were much too handhold-y and fill in the blank relative to Dataquest's method. The projects on Dataquest were key to getting my job. I doubled my income!
