Conclusion

Course Abstract

What I've found in teaching Data Science to thousands of students was that these courses were not fitting the right need. It was like teaching a new driver to drive a dump truck ... too much non-relevant information. So I have taken my industry experience and merged it with my teaching experience to create a course specifically tailored to provide you with a Python background to be productive, but also not have those annoying knowledge gaps.

What background knowledge you should have?

  • Some programming experience with another language is required

What is included in your ticket?

  • Access to live training and QA session with the Instructor

  • Access to the on-demand recording

  • Certificate of completion
