The ultimate goal of the bootcamp is to cultivate strong data science skills with an emphasis on machine learning techniques to satisfactorily meet and exceed the requests of the Data science world. In the process, we will develop good habits for operating independently as data scientists and for operating as members of productive data science teams.
Having data science and machine learning skills nowadays can potentially increase your success chances, whether that be as an individual or a business. Many industries offer their employees the opportunity to enroll in upskilling programs. In that way, domain experts can leverage the knowledge in their given field and seek higher roles in their company. As the demand for data science skills rises higher and higher, having a rounded understanding of data science and applying that knowledge practically can help widen your scope of knowledge.
We organized the course in six weeks and two tracks:
The CORE track
The PROJECT track
Here's a tentative timeline, deadlines, and other dates might still be subject to change.
The workload for the course is approximately 5 - 7 hours per week, depending on prior knowledge. It is hard to give a distinct number, given that some topic might be easier for your or spark an unknown desire to learn more, this number could be higher. As we are aware that this course is done "next" to an existing work, study or other load, we balance your time resources accordingly.
We are looking forward to see you in the course!
