IBM Data Science Professional Certificate with Hands-on Projects

Overview:

Data science is one of the hottest professions of the decade, and the demand for data scientists who can analyze data and communicate results to inform data-driven decisions has never been greater. This Professional Certificate will help anyone interested in pursuing a career in data science or machine learning develop career-relevant skills.

It’s a myth that to become a data scientist you need a Ph.D. Anyone with a passion for learning can take this Professional Certificate – no prior knowledge of computer science or programming languages required – and develop the skills, tools, and portfolio to have a competitive edge in the job market as an entry-level data scientist.

The program consists of 9 online courses that will provide you with the latest job-ready tools and skills, including open-source tools and libraries, Python, databases, SQL, data visualization, data analysis, statistical analysis, predictive modeling, and machine learning algorithms. You’ll learn data science through hands-on practice in the IBM Cloud using real data science tools and real-world data sets.

Upon completing these courses, you will have built a portfolio of data science projects to provide you with the confidence to plunge into an exciting profession in data science.
