Develop both the fundamental skills and advanced knowledge required to pursue a career in data analytics. With training designed under Purdue University and IBM, you'll explore key areas such as statistical analysis, data visualisation, regression techniques, and more - with hands-on practice in tools such as Python, R, and Tableau. Resources include masterclasses conducted by Purdue faculty and IBM experts; live virtual classrooms; IBM hackathons and Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions; along with 24/7 learning support to help you advance in your educational journey.
Additionally, students will be able to put their skills to practice through 14+ data analytics projects throughout their training and a cumulative capstone at the end of the program. Course projects reflect real-world scenarios, with datasets from leading companies such as Google Playstore and Lyft, helping you gain the "work-ready" experience required to compete on the job market. Each course is delivered in regular one week periods on a cohort based learning structure. This means students are required to complete training in their specific chosen schedule enabling students to focus and practice skills they have learned in class from start to finish.
