Certified Data Science with Python Foundation Training
Learn the best practice in for effective data science and machine learning with this practical Python training. Explore how Python can help you take the next step in your Data & AI career, guided by GoDataDriven’s Data Science experts in this 3-days course. Earn the Data Science with Python Foundation certification after the training.
This training is for you if…
You have some basic experience with Python (or any other programming language)
You want to get certified in data science
You are eager to get more out of your data and build your own predictive models
You would like to apply best practices to your data science projects
You hope to better communicate and collaborate with your data science colleagues
This training is not for you if…
You have never worked with Python or any other programming language before (check out the Python for Data Analysts training)
You are already an experienced data scientist who is looking to further develop their skills (check out the Advanced Data Science with Python training or other specialised topics)
You believe data science is a hype and cannot add value (check out the Certified Analytics Translation training)
You are not interested in practical applications, only the maths behind the algorithms

Data Science Learning Journey
Data Science with Python Foundation Certification
We have worked together with APMG International to offer you a recognized partner to get certified in Data Science.
The exam and Data Science with Python Foundation certificate are included in the course Data Science with Python Foundation. The exam can be taken directly after the training or at a moment of your choice. If you get at least 50% of the 50 multiple choice questions right, you will pass the exam and receive your certificate. More information about the exam can be found here. Prepare in advance with this Data Science with Python Foundation sample exam here. Please select “Data Science with Python Foundation (2021)” from the dropdown menu.

Data EducatorJames holds a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Amsterdam (Cum Laude); a Master’s in Educational Leadership from UCL (Merit); and a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from the University of Manchester (First Class Honours). He is fluent in Python and its data science libraries, such as Pandas and Sci-kit Learn, and is proficient with the deep learning frameworks PyTorch and TensorFlow.
Structured, to-the-point, good combination of theory and practical examples, very knowledgeable trainer who can explain concepts very well
It was a hands-on and tangible course. We could apply what we learned in a matter of minutes. The trainer did a great job of answering ad-hoc questions that complemented the material. We appreciated the fact that we could apply what we were taught directly to our company.
I liked every aspect of this training and would like to thank the trainers. They did an excellent job of explaining how to use Spark for data science. This is the fourth GoDataDriven training I’ve followed. All were great, but this was the best one so far.
Climbing a steep Python and Machine Learning curve in three days. This would have taken me months on my own.
