Enhance business performance with data driven insights
Businesses today are trying to engage with data science in one form or another. Unfortunately, only a few have been able to grasp the idea of what constitutes data science, let alone implement it usefully and profitably. This online course introduces its participants to the world of data science. The objective is to strip away all the distractions around data science – codes, tools, etc., and teach the techniques using practical cases that can be understood and appreciated by someone with an elementary knowledge of mathematics. This course uses a hands-on approach to data science, where participants get to work with data sets to generate insights for businesses.
