Data Science
Learners will gain an overview of Data Science and Machine Learning - the skills required to be a data scientist.
In the Fundamentals phase they learn how to clean, analyse and visualise data as well as how to effectively communicate the findings.
During Machine Learning, students solve real-world problems by building regression, classification and unsupervised learning algorithms in Python. This involves data exploration insight building, improving and communicating models from a raw and unstructured dataset.

SQL for Data Science
Working with data is foundational in order to unlock the power of data science. Being able to clean, transform, mine and mung large data sets are critical skills for any Data Professional. We teach you to work in SQL, from basic queries to more complex operations where optimisation and database design are key.
-
Python for Data Science
Our Programming module teaches learners how to work in Python to manipulate large data sets and perform calculations on them in order to analyse the data for insight. From simply ‘running a for loop’ to building advanced algorithms we cover a broad range of subject matter to get you comfortable with one of the most powerful programming languages used today.
-
Visualisation
This module covers the key principles and applications of being able to tell elegant stories using various visualisation techniques. The ability to visualise data and tell compelling stories is a key capability of the data scientist’s toolkit. We teach the latest dashboarding technologies as a key skill to deliver the insights and recommendations that your data is telling you.
Machine Learning
-
Advanced Regression
Learn how to prepare data to build predictive models. Understand different regression algorithms, different regularisation techniques, which models to use when, and how to optimise model performance using hyperparameter tuning.
