START YOUR CAREER AS A DATA SCIENTIST

Our online courses teach a tried-and-tested data science curriculum tailored to assure students graduate as well-rounded data scientists. Using real-world tools, students learn from some of the country’s top instructors.

Industry Led

Our course is designed with industry and constantly updated to match the skills employers tell us they want.

Career-first approach

Throughout the course, you will build a portfolio of projects to showcase your skills to potential employers, with seven specialist career sessions led by our Student Engagement team.

Support

You will speak regularly with Student Engagement Executives to ensure you are progressing, to work through any issues and arrange 1-2-1's should you need them.

Not Just Coding

We don't just teach you to code, we teach the fundamentals and how you can problem solve, work better in a team, working remotely, what it's like working in tech and how to shine a light on the soft skills that make you stand out.

RETRAIN AROUND YOUR JOB

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.

In this course, we will cover:

Prework

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.

Python & Soft Skills

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.

Advanced

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.

Final Project

Phase 3 is where students learn about Big Data, Docker, AWS, Non Rational Data Bases, Spark, APIs and work in groups of 3 or more on a real, green-field team project of their choosing.

There’s no better way to consolidate & extend your knowledge and prove what you can do to potential employers.

I joined as their first data science cohort in March 2021 and finished in August 2021 over the course of 24 weeks. I like how the bootcamp is open to all regardless of your educational background, and I feel supported throughout the programme as there is a dedicated Slack channel for all students and instructors. The class size was small, about 4-5 people which keeps it easy to ask questions to your instructors. The instructors were also experienced in their industries so you can be sure you're getting a quality education. I would recommend this to anyone interested in pursuing a profession in software engineering or data science, whether you're looking to upskill or change career.

I joined their part-time bootcamp in June and just finished it last week. Amazing how far I've come. The curriculum does a good job of developing a working knowledge of Html, JavaScript, CSS, React, etc as well as backend stuffs. Their positive and inclusive learning environment and dedication to help you post-bootcamp is worth recommending. I feel prepared to get a job in the software industry.

I started with the Developer Academy to learn basic coding skills and to understand more about the different languages used. I was made to feel really welcome, supported and encouraged. It was a nice, relaxed environment but with structure supplied by their online learning platform. I now have a much better understanding of things like HTML, CSS and Javascript
