Advanced Data Science with Python

Master your Machine Learning skills using Python!

Are you familiar with the basic concepts of Machine Learning, but struggling to implement it at work? Do you want to learn best practices for developing models and code, but don't know where to start? This course covers advanced Machine Learning algorithms and a framework for professionalizing your Data Science projects for production.

This training is perfect for...

...Data Scientists who are familiar with Python and want to become more effective at creating predictive models by applying Machine Learning to their organization's data. Participation requires professional experience with Python, statistics and panda's library. If you're not quite there yet, we recommend the Certified Data Science with Python Foundation course.

What will you learn during this Advanced Data Science training?

You will be able to take your Data Science projects in Python to the next level by combining state-of-the-art Machine Learning algorithms and advanced Python tools and functionalities. You will also be able to structure your projects using clear and concise code, which will increase the efficiency and reproducibility of your Data Science projects.
