The Beginner Track is designed for those new to programming, with guided assessments using pre-built code, fewer assignments, and shorter course durations. The Advanced Track is geared toward experienced learners, offering deeper topics, more assessments, and coding tasks that require writing code from scratch. Both tracks include options to upgrade to the next level.

The Beginner Track is for students who are new to programming or not yet confident with core programming concepts like control-flow (if-else, loops), writing functions and classes, or using libraries such as pandas and matplotlib. This track focuses on using pre-built tools and guided code to help learners focus on understanding concepts without implementing algorithms from scratch.

The Advanced Track is for students who have prior coding experience, are comfortable with writing complete programs (including functions and classes), and can work with libraries independently. This track involves implementing machine learning algorithms from scratch and exploring their mathematical foundations. It’s suitable for those who want to understand both how and why these models work.

Introduction to Data Science and Machine Learning are the two compulsory courses for this specialization.

This specialization is designed for individuals looking to gain a competitive edge in the job market with practical skills and theoretical knowledge in data science and machine learning. It is also ideal for professionals seeking to transition into data science roles by mastering essential technical skills and enhancing their expertise. If you are eager to acquire hands-on experience in data analysis, pipeline building, and machine learning techniques, while honing the soft skills essential to thrive in the domain of Data Science, this program is perfect for you. 

If the course capacity is reached before the deadline, the registrations will be closed. Registrations for the next cohort will open within 2 weeks of the registration deadline of the previous cohort.

If you already registered for the cohort but haven’t paid when the registrations have been closed, you can pay at a later date and be moved to the next cohort.

No, you cannot withdraw from the specialization once you have paid. However, we can move you to a second cohort free of charge for the first change. Any additional requests for a change in cohort would incur additional charges.
