Connie Hatcher

Chelsea Campbell

Very informative course. Alice is a great teacher & I look forward to attending more seminars with her. 

Rosalind Springer

It was a very good day, we had a small group and we were able to discuss our experiences. The trainer was very informative, approachable, and took her time to answer our questions. We learned about different types of meetings, the roles of the attendee and minute taker and the role of the chair etc. We did a note taking practice of listening to a recording and to see how much we could take down. As the trainer was a teacher, she was able to observe how we were writing and gave us tips on posture and how best to write and the type of pen and note taking books we should use.
We also learned that it's good to be assertive in a meeting to ask questions if we are not sure about something that was said, to help us take an accurate recording of the meeting.  Most of all we are the most important person at the meeting as we are taking a record of the meeting.

For a business to thrive in our data-driven world, it must treat data as one of its most important assets. Data is crucial for understanding where the business is and where it's headed. Not only can data reveal insights, but it can also inform—by guiding decisions and influencing day-to-day operations. This calls for a robust workforce of professionals who can analyze, understand, manipulate, and present data within an effective and repeatable process framework. In other words, the business world needs data science practitioners. This course will enable you to bring value to the business by putting data science concepts into practice.

In this course, you will implement data science techniques in order to achieve organisational goals. You will:

- Use data science principles to address business issues.
- Apply the extract, transform, and load (ETL) process to prepare datasets.
- Use multiple techniques to analyze data and extract valuable insights.
- Design a machine learning approach to address business issues.
- Train, tune, and evaluate classification models.
- Train, tune, and evaluate regression and forecasting models.
- Train, tune, and evaluate clustering models.
- Finalise a data science project by presenting models to an audience, putting models into production, and monitoring model performance

This course is designed for business professionals who leverage data to address business issues. The typical student in this course will have several years of experience with computing technology, including some aptitude in computer programming.

However, there is not necessarily a single organizational role that this course targets. A prospective student might be a programmer looking to expand their knowledge of how to guide business decisions by collecting, wrangling, analyzing, and manipulating data through code; or a data analyst with a background in applied math and statistics who wants to take their skills to the next level; or any number of other data-driven situations.

Ultimately, the target student is someone who wants to learn how to more effectively extract insights from their work and leverage that insight in addressing business issues, thereby bringing greater value to the business.

This course is also designed to assist students in preparing for the CertNexus® Certified Data Science Practitioner™ (CDSP) (Exam DSP-210) certification.

To ensure your success in this course, you should have at least a high-level understanding of fundamental data science concepts, including, but not limited to: types of data, data science roles, the overall data science lifecycle, and the benefits and challenges of data science. You can obtain this level of knowledge by taking the CertNexus DSBIZ™ (Exam DSZ-210) course.

You should also have experience with high-level programming languages like Python. Being comfortable using fundamental Python data science libraries like NumPy and pandas is highly recommended. You can obtain this level of skills and knowledge by taking the foundation level Data Analysis with Python course.
