Our courses are designed so that there are no prerequisites and no prior experience required. Master mandatory data scientist technical skills like Python and object-oriented and functional programming. Along the way, you’ll also learn key libraries such as scikit-learn, Matplotlib, NumPy, and pandas. Moreover, discover everything you need to know about web scraping and SQL queries in our Python data science courses.

These courses will teach you the calculus needed to understand, explain, and complete tasks like machine learning algorithms, image recognition, deep learning, and predictive analytics, among others.

Most data science programs stop there, since those are all the skills needed to become a data scientist, but we took it a step further. To differentiate yourself even more from other candidates, we included concepts such as the UNIX command line, Git, and Github to develop collaboration and efficiency.
