Course Description
Are you ready to master Apache Spark by working on a real-world Machine Learning project? This course will take you step by step through building a Telecom Customer Churn Prediction model using Apache Spark ML.
Customer churn is one of the biggest challenges in the telecom industry. Companies invest heavily to retain their customers, and predictive analytics plays a crucial role in identifying which customers are likely to leave. In this hands-on course, you’ll learn how to use Big Data and Spark ML to solve this real-world problem with an end-to-end project.
You will begin with the basics of Spark and Machine Learning, setting up your Spark cluster in Databricks (no local installation needed), and learning how to work with DataFrames and notebooks. Then, we’ll dive deep into the churn dataset, perform data exploration, and build a machine learning pipeline for churn prediction.
By the end of this course, you will have the skills, confidence, and project experience to apply Spark ML techniques to real-world business problems—not only in telecom but across other industries like finance, e-commerce, and healthcare.
This course is designed to be practical and project-focused, ensuring that you learn by doing, with clear explanations and real examples every step of the way.

It's awesome, i like the structure, explanation and the experience is awesome
By Eduardo Azevedo de Mello Franco Menezes on 1/5/2023
Valuable tips on how to use the Databricks community. Excellent project both in the data exploratory part and in the ML examples with Scala. It would be great if there were some more examples of other ML algorithms. Missing confusion matrix graphs. Turn off the cell. He needs to take care of the strong accent that is often difficult to understand. Sometimes even the caption generator doesn't understand. Also, congratulations and thanks, it was very useful for me

Great to learning from this course. Really appreciated!!
By Ritu Sharma on 6/22/2021
He tried hard , but teaching method needs to be improved. Also, his statistical concepts aren't that good.
By Anup Kumar on 5/14/2020
Explanation is poor and the coach does not sound confident in terms of stat. It does not appear to be a coaching a beginner. Not worth buying this course. It was too short to understand anything about Apache and predictive modeling.
