# Data Science Certificate Canonical URL: ## Overview In this certificate, students learn necessary programming skills to manipulate databases and perform various levels of analysis on the data. This program prepares students for entry-level data science and Python engineering positions. #### Master Programming Fundamentals Learn Python programming fundamentals and how to use NumPy, pandas, and Matplotlib to analyze data. Discover the three main data science libraries, and learn how to create predictive models from the data using machine learning packages such as scikit-learn. #### Read and Write Complex Queries Interpreting and creating queries are essential skills for data scientists. Students learn to prepare and clean data for Python analysis. #### Automate Tasks Use Python to automate everyday tasks such as aggregating, updating, and formatting data. #### Create Data Visualizations and Dashboards Make interactive dashboards and data visualizations with Seaborn, Plotly, and Dash Enterprise. ## What you'll learn - Analyze tabular data with NumPy and pandas - Create graphs and visualizations with Matplotlib - Make predictions with linear regression - Applying machine learning algorithms to the data - Cleaning and balancing data in Pandas - Evaluating the performance of machine learning models - Find data stories through exploratory data analysis - Use advanced Python visualization libraries - Build dashboards that utilize effective design - Deploy dashboards and visualizations on a live server - Combine information across tables with join statements - Advanced techniques such as subqueries and stored procedures - Learn how to write programs in Python to automate everyday tasks ## Curriculum 1. **Python for Data Science Immersive** 2. **Python Machine Learning Immersive** 3. **Python for Automation** 4. **SQL Bootcamp** 5. **Python Data Visualization & Interactive Dashboards** ## FAQ ### Who is the target audience for this course? Individuals looking to break into data science with Python, machine learning, and SQL skills Analysts who work with other data tools looking to transition to Python and SQL Developers looking to broaden their skillset to data science and Python ### Does this certificate include job support? In addition to 114 hours of interactive training, you will receive eight 1-on-1 mentoring sessions that can be used for career and job support, including polishing your resume, preparing for interviews, and reviewing best practices for applying to jobs. Note, however, that we don’t provide job placement (i.e. reaching out to companies on your behalf). ### How is this certificate structured? The certificate is comprised of four classes that teach you four different but complementary skills: In the Python for Data Science class you learn Python (the programming language) and how to use it to import, analyze, visualize data. The Python for Machine Learning class is a second level Python class that teaches students how to use Python to predict and forecast from data they have previously analyzed using regression and other statistical techniques. In Python for Automation you learn how to use Python to automate everyday tasks using Python and Beautiful Soup. Lastly, as a data scientist, it is imperative that you know SQL in addition to Python. In our SQL Bootcamp , you’ll learn how to work with databases and how to manipulate data in between them. With all of these classes, students will fill all the pre-requisites needed for an entry-level data scientist position. ### How many students are in a class? Our typical class ranges from 8–12 students, but we accept up to 20 students. ### How does this certificate prepare me for the job market? The classes will prepare students with all the skills necessary for an entry-level position in data science. Most entry-level jobs are looking for three core technical skills: Python proficiency, SQL proficiency, and proficiencies in Python data science libraries. All of these skills will be taught throughout the classes in the certificate. ### Why is SQL included in the data science certificate? SQL is a necessary skill because as a data scientist one must feel comfortable being able to explore a database and how to modify data within it. Our SQL bootcamp will cover all of the necessary topics a programmer in SQL must know. The class will cover everything from basic database terminology to advanced querying techniques so that you are confident using SQL in your workplace or on your resume. ### Is there mandatory work outside of the classroom? Students are not required to complete any work outside of class. However, we provide students with bonus materials if they would like extra practice. ### What tangible skills do students leave with after the certificate? Students will leave with proficiencies in both Python and SQL. Additionally, students will be proficient in various Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Beautiful Soup, and scikit-learn. These libraries will allow students to automate data collection, perform analysis on the data, graph the data, and use this data to create predictive models. In the SQL class, students will learn how to explore, modify and export data from a database and students will also be introduced to foundational concepts like tables, data types, and queries. ### Is this course open to beginners?
