un insieme esagerato di nozioni, tutte presentate in modo estremamente rapido e superficiale. Più che un corso è una semplice overview! Interessante la parte sul Tableau
By George Baugh on 2/7/2026
Great course! Easy breakdown of what subjects to study and how long to study subjects. This course gives a really good introduction to data science without overstaying its welcome and easy-to-follow practical exercises. Well done!
By Rosedell Villocido on 1/4/2026
The initial discussions talked about Data Science overview and its roadmap to becoming data scientist which provided insights and knowledge on the expectations from both the learner and instructor. Above all, it made audiences excited about the training course and how can it create an impact to their professional career as a whole.

clear and precise, very easy to learn - i have zero knowledge on DS and i m currently a management personnel in my company - i guess i can do DS now! with the team :)

Very Good for someone wanting to know about the basics and process of data science journey. Especially liked the Tableau and Python part of the course. Small yet explanatory insights like how and where to get other required materials was quite a treat. Thanks for the start.
By Venkatesh on 6/18/2020
It was a nice course , thanks so much , the clarity of subjects, the presentations were awesome , may be we could have more sessions on python & tableau , but its our work to practice . Thanks for this wonderful sessions :)

This course was very informative and helpful for me. It gave good ideas about Data Science which is a vast field of study. The course content is really rich. Some of the sections don't have an image to show the subjects in a organized and categorized way to give the whole idea. Example : Section 2 , Part 12 : Machine Learning. Thanks
By Richard Fuschillo on 8/6/2019
I really enjoyed the introduction. I have 25+ years of software experience and have always considered myself a quick learner. Your step by step guide is great and gives me a great roadmap to expand on the topics I need to.

This course is a worth the time to complete, it will help save time composing a detailed objective towards developing skills as a Data Scientist.
By Ed Markowitz on 6/30/2018
Would have liked more statistics and db. Also would have appreciated the Python models explained a bit more (still unclear on the (: meaning for instance) and would dearly love to hear what you do next if your regression or other model produces garbage - how do you choose another model to try to see if something else gives a useful result
By George Wangolo
The instructor is very good at explaining the material and he is not boring.
By Pritha Sengupta
I was looking for how o start data science.
It helped me a lot as in what topics to starts what all topics are actually important and how many days should be given to what topic
