Skills You Will Learn
How it Works
Learn new skills that will boost your career by enrolling in courses across data analytics, data science, ML and AI. These courses will utilize readings, videos, quizzes, data cases, and even coding exercises to teach you skills and concepts in a way that will solidify your new knowledge for hands-on application.
With our hands-on projects, you will take your newly learned skills along with our 750+ low-code/no-code functions and embedded coding console to complete milestone-based projects. Once completed, you will have effectively applied new skills and concepts to real-world data cases that can be translated directly into your career.
Complete assessments and track your progress in real-time to benchmark your proficiency in relation to key functional areas. As you progress through your courses, our patented platform will utilize ML and AI to record and analyze your inputs and output to provide active feedback and recommendations that will help you learn more effectively than the standard Letter Grade system used today.
