Overview

On this accelerated IBM Introduction to Data Science course, you'll learn the foundational skills of a Data Scientist: what the role entails and the basics behind data analysis and data-driven decisions. 

In just 2 days, you'll build knowledge on key concepts like big data, statistical analysis, and relational databases, and gain familiarity with various open-source tools and data science programs used by data scientists, like Jupyter Notebooks, RStudio, GitHub, and SQL. You'll also learn:

  • What programming languages they can execute, their features and limitations
  • The major steps involved in tackling a data science problem
  • Work with real databases, real data science tools, and real-world datasets

At the end of this course, you'll receive a Specialisation Completion Certificate, and a Digital Badge from IBM, recognising you as a specialist in data science foundations. Through Firebrand's Lecture | Lab | Review methodology, you'll get access to courseware and train with certified instructors, all in a distraction-free environment.
