These roles require manipulation of large data sets and the use of advanced analytics, including machine learning, predictive modeling, and experimental design.

Each course within the certificate ends with a module where learners apply their new knowledge to simulated career experiences.. In each of these modules, learners are challenged to complete projects that help them practice and demonstrate the data professional concepts taught in each course. They’re encouraged to compile these projects in a professional portfolio that showcases their advanced data analytics knowledge and skills for the job market.
