Transition from a beginner – with no prior coding experience – to a job-ready Data Scientist in 24 weeks on our part-time, online data analysis.
You will learn through 24 weeks of labs, real life exercises and projects. You will also get access to a range of career support services and networking opportunities.
Our aim is to prepare you for the real world – what industry needs now and spend a lot of time asking companies what specific skills they look for and then design our curriculum to include learning activities that help you master each key skill.
We ask potential students to complete some prework to ensure they understand the fundamentals of mathematics and data science, used and covered on the course.
This should take no more than 20 hours to complete and provides you with the right starting point to maximise your learning on the course.
Phase 2 focusses on Python, the coding language used throughout our course, covering Strings, Loops, Functions, Numeric data Lists, libraries such as Numpy and Matplotlib, Pandas and much more.
Phase 2 also covers business skills – these are the important ‘soft skills’ employers tell us they struggle most to find in junior data analysts,
In Phase 3 students cover advanced subjects such as SQL, Machine Learning, Working with Big Data, Cloud Technologies (eg. Google, Dataproc, BigQuery), Neural Networks (Google, AWS and Azure). Natural Language Processing, Text Vectorization.
There’s also a Machine Learning project to cement your knowledge and put what you’ve learned into practice.
Phase is dedicated to a Final Project where students work in teams to get hands on with a real, green-field team project. There’s no better way to consolidate and extend your knowledge and prove what you can do.
Our live, instructor led online course has been designed with students in mind. Course instructors and your peers are just a Slack message away whenever you need extra help, so your learning doesn’t stop.
You will have lifetime access to our Learning Management System, recordings of all live lessons, course materials, resources and be able to collaborate with one another.
An experienced industry expert will lead the curriculum and live online lessons via our learning environment.
Our Coordinators ensure your experience is a positive one. Got questions? Need finance advice? They’ll guide you.
You’ll have access to expert career coaches, whom you’ll work with until you start your first job.
We start each session with a virtual stand up to talk through last weeks projects. This is a great time to get to know your fellow students and helps you gain confidence in talking about your code in a similar way to that of a real working environment.
The course instructor will talk you through a particular concept, framework or process with slides and visual aids.
Then it's over to you to code along with the instructor, ask questions and work through the problem.
The last part of this session usually includes more code alongs and a mini lecture to make sure you understand what's been covered and have some projects to help you cement the knowledge.

During the final part of this session, the instructor will provide you with a project or task to complete before next weeks session, this usually takes about 14 hours to complete.
This Data Science online course is intended for complete beginners, however, an understanding of mathematics at GCSE level is required.
We therefore provide some pre-work projects be completed as part of your application.

A data science bootcamp is a short course that teaches everything you need to enter the market successfully. At course completion, you will leave with a portfolio of projects to show at interviews, in addition to knowledge and skills. We also provide access to career support services and networking opportunities to help you hit the ground running.
We believe that with the right motivation and determination, almost anyone can become a successful data scientist. However, understanding mathematics at a basic level and a passion for data and visualising information are valuable assets to hold.
Starting salaries for Junior Data Scientists range between £20,000 and £25,000. As you move up the ranks or into a consultancy role, you could earn £72,000 or more.
Holding an understanding of maths at a GCSE level is advantageous. This is because the language you will be working with in your daily tasks will revolve around numbers. We can discuss this during the application process; alternatively, email us for more information.
No! Knowledge of coding is not required to gain a position on our data science bootcamp. We are more interested in passion rather than pre-existing coding skills. If you have that, you’re ready for our course.
Data Scientists look for points of interest or patterns in a set of data to answer specific questions. For example, you would search through data to piece together why the company you work for has suddenly increased or decreased in sales. You would then present this data to colleagues to help drive key decisions. There is more information available here
