Big Data Scientist [BDS]

OVERVIEW

Deze 4-daagse Big Data Scientist cursus is een vervolg op de cursus Big Data Fundamentals (BDF) en bestaat uit 4 modules. Na elke module kan men het bijbehorende examen doen. Indien alle examens positief worden afgesloten is de deelnemer Certified Big Data Scientist. De cursus wordt in 4 blokken van 1 dag gepland, verdeeld over ongeveer 4 weken.

De modules zijn onderdeel van het Big Data Science Certified Professional (BDSCP) curriculum van Arcitura Education. Het Big Data Science Certified Professional (BDSCP) programma van Arcitura is gericht op excellentie op het gebied van Big Data wetenschap, analyse, analytics, business intelligence, en technologie-architectuur, evenals ontwerp, ontwikkeling en governance.

This 4-day Big Data Scientist course is a continuation of the Big Data Fundamentals (BDF) course and consists of 4 modules. After each module the participant can take the corresponding exam. If all exams are passed, the participant will be Certified Big Data Scientist. The course is scheduled in 4 blocks of 1 day, spread over approximately 4 weeks.

The modules are part of the Big Data Science Certified Professional (BDSCP) curriculum of Arcitura Education. The Big Data Science Certified Professional (BDSCP) program from Arcitura is dedicated to excellence in the fields of Big Data science, analysis, analytics, business intelligence, and technology architecture, as well as design, development, and governance.

AUDIENCE

Deze cursus is bedoeld voor iedereen die na het volgen van de cursus Big Data Fundamentals tot de conclusie is gekomen dat zij of hij meer inzicht wil of moet verkrijgen in het vakgebied Big Data.

In deze cursus ligt het accent meer op kennisverbreding dan op kennisverdieping; de deelnemers worden niet opgeleid tot specialist maar tot generalist. Overzicht verkrijgen is belangrijk, want wie dat overzicht mist kan niet op een succesvolle manier deel uitmaken van een Big Data team.

CERTIFICATION

Deze cursus bestaat uit 4 modules. Elke module kan worden afgesloten met een examen. De examens zijn optioneel en zijn niet bij de prijs inbegrepen.

Indien u de 4 examens wil maken dient u dit vooraf aan te geven. De prijs per examen bedraagt: EUR 200,00

Module 4: Big Data Analysis & Science lab

This course module covers a series of exercises and problems designed to test the participant's ability to apply knowledge of topics covered previously in course modules 4 and 5. Completing this lab will help highlight areas that require further attention, and will further prove hands-on proficiency in Big Data analysis and science practices as they are applied and combined to solve real-world problems.

As a hands-on lab, this course incorporates a set of detailed exercises that require participants to solve various inter-related problems, with the goal of fostering a comprehensive understanding of how different data analysis techniques can be applied to solve problems in Big Data environments and used to make significant, relevant predictions that offer increased business value.
