Data Scientist Learning Journey - Junior

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…

What you'll learn

Machine Learning with scikit-learn

  • Machine Learning models
  • Data Transformations
  • Data Estimators
  • How to combine these into pipelines
  • How to automate everything in a grid search
  • How to write building blocks

Machine learning theory

  • Identify the type of machine learning task (classification or regression, supervised or unsupervised, and others) 
  • Differentiate between several machine learning algorithms (such as linear regression, decision tree, support vector machine)
  • Create models that generalize (underfitting and overfitting, train-test split, k-fold cross-validation)

Understand how to evaluate your model’s effectiveness with various metrics (such as precision & recall, F1, root mean squared error, r2)

Pandas

  • Fetch descriptive summary statistics of your data with simple operations
  • Effectively select and filter parts of your data with loc
  • Retrieve advanced statistics with groupby aggregations
  • Extend your dataset by creating new columns with assign 
  • Structure your code neatly by chaining methods 

Learn to apply best practices, such as pipe and lambda, to prevent bugs

Certification

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.
