Course description

The goal of the introductory course is to provide you with essential prerequisite knowledge and skills that you need for further education in data science. You will learn important mathematical basics, such as the handling of vectors, matrices and probabilities, which are necessary for the understanding of data science methods.

You will implement what you have learned with the Python programming language in connection with application scenarios in the field of data science. The training thus also serves as a test of your skills in dealing with the Python programming language.

In this training you will learn

Python Basics

Linear algebra

Statistical basis

Creation of structured scripts in the Python programming language
Generation of recommender systems using the Python library numpy
Recognition of the most important probability distributions

Target audience

The advanced training is suitable for you and your career aspirations if you have a degree, ideally in the fields of mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, technology, business administration, (business) information technology or have a comparable qualification or previous experience.

Requirements for participation

Solid knowledge of Python basics (use of basic data types and flow control concepts)

FAQ

Why should I choose a career in data, coding or AI?

The demand for data experts is high. Around 4 million data experts will be needed in Europe by 2025. In Germany alone, 149,000 IT jobs are currently vacant. The demand for data and AI experts in particular continues to grow enormously.

But a decision for a data career is so much more than just a safe decision for the future! As a data expert, you deal with powerful, socially relevant topics, are a tech professional, and are communicative and creative at the same time. The profession is varied, can be combined with most other professions and offers an attractive salary. And most importantly, with us it can be learned unerringly!

Am I qualified to work in this profession after further training as a data analyst and data scientist and can I make a lateral move?

Yes, after successful completion of the training, you will receive a certificate of completion from us that you can show in your job applications. Data Analysts and Data Scientists are desperately sought after in many business sectors. Even without relevant work experience, your chances of finding an entry-level job are good. In addition, there are analysts in almost every industry who have different job titles, but the skills you need are the same as those of a data analyst or data scientist.

Can I really organize my learning time freely?

Yes, our online training courses are designed to offer you the greatest possible flexibility. In general, we recommend that you plan six to eight hours per week for learning. When you want to schedule this time is up to you and is not prescribed by us. In our career paths, the Data Analyst and Data Scientist course, we offer live webinars where you can ask our mentors questions, but you don't have to attend if it doesn't fit into your schedule.

The user-friendly and flexible Python programming course has completely changed my view of complex data structures. Thanks to the sustainable and well thought-out learning concept as well as the seamless application of the learning content in the development environment, I can now implement the new things I've learned in my day-to-day work in test automation in more detail and process data more easily and efficiently than before.
