Dr Elena Simperl, CPD Programme Leader, WSI Associate Professor and Scientific Director of the European Data Science Academy
Coming from a GIS background this course has really broadened my capabilities within Data Science and filled the gaps in my skills that I need to evolve my career.
GeoSpatial Technology & Information Management Consultant, ARUP
The flexible model of the course lets us balance staff training alongside our commitments to our clients.
Data and Systems Architect at ARUP
The flexible nature of the course is a great idea given that many of the clientele are working in full time jobs
Head of Data Science, QBE Insurance
I was very happy to see the more modern languages and tools being used in the course as these are the industry standard. The course has helped me reassess the way we approach things at QBE from both a technological and infrastructure standpoint.
Analyst, QBE Insurance
I really liked the development environment of the course as it was flexible, easy to use and great for experimentation. The course came at the perfect time as we were starting to move from SQL to NoSQL so this element of the course was very interesting and I learnt a lot that will help.
Technical Consultant, Ordnance Survey
I’ve already noticed that after 4 weeks I’m speaking more confidently and know where to look for things. The online platform was easy to use and intuitive with course dates, requirements, deadlines etc very clear and in one place; a great infrastructure!
If I was applying for a Data Science job I’d want this on my CV
Statistician, Office for National Statistics
As our staff are very geographically dispersed, this online option and modular approach with its accessibility was of huge importance.
Assistant Deputy Director - Government Statistical Service Profession at Office for National Statistics
This course has given me a much broader knowledge of what can be done with data and I’m much better prepared to work with data than before.
Data Analyst, Land Registry
It was great that our Data Analyst was still able to do his job whilst he was learning.
Head of Data Capture and Management, Land Registry
Getting access to the tutors is one of the great benefits of this course; not all courses provide this. I’ve seen that this course has helped our Digital Insight Analyst realise that the transitions he wanted to make are very achievable. The flexible method is great. It’d be difficult to commit to a set time on set days; our Digital Insight Analyst has been able to fit around his lifestyle and work commitments without any negative impacts.
Digital Analytics Manager, Shop Direct
As I’m mostly self-taught this course has made me aware of the gaps in my knowledge. I’ve been able to start thinking how I can put these new skills to use in my own work, including bringing in other data sets, using web scraping tools and validating outputs.
Digital Insight Analyst, Shop Direct
I found the course to be very good introduction to the underpinning technology stack used by Data Scientists. The syllabus includes core concepts and technologies, data collection and management and data visualisation. What I found particularly useful was the group and individual online tutorials where you can ask questions regarding the course material or assignment questions.
Business Intelligence Architect, National Institute for Health Research
We’ve had 40 people enrol. From this, we realised we’ve got these hidden data people across the organisation that we’re now bringing together through education about data science.
Head of data strategy at Lloyd's of London
I really enjoyed the Data Science for Digital Marketing course and learned a lot about how to apply machine learning techniques to improve our marketing efforts.
James Briars, Sports Marketing Associate Manager
The Fundamentals of Data Science (Non-Technical) course taught me how to gather, clean, analyse and present data on a large scale. It introduced me to new tools and techniques that will help me work much more efficiently with large data sets in the future.
