BE A CERTIFIED DATA SCIENTIST (FOR ENTERPRISE)

MORE THAN 33 RUNS & OVER 500 PROFESSIONALS TRAINED

Background

As data continues to drive strategic decision-making in every sector, the demand for skilled data scientists is at an all-time high. The CDS program is relevant for professionals who aspire to transition into data science roles or enhance their current analytical capabilities. It is particularly pertinent to sectors where data can provide a competitive edge, such as technology, finance, healthcare, and government operations, including military.

The Certified Data Scientist (CDS) program is a comprehensive training suite designed to develop essential data science skills using Python, from foundational knowledge to advanced machine learning and project execution. This program is broken down into three distinct parts, each with two specialized workshops that guide participants through the journey of becoming skilled data science practitioners. By the end of the program, participants will have a thorough understanding of data analysis techniques, machine learning algorithms, and the execution of end-to-end data science projects.


Programme Design And Objectives

UNIQUELY DESIGNED BY RESEARCH ROOM (rR) and delivered through JCube
Our certification model is uniquely designed by founders of Research Room (rR)*, an AI consulting and implementation group that was co-founded by a team of Singaporean Ph.Ds who have worked on bespoke implementations of data driven strategies that delivers complex prediction and decision-making capabilities to thousands of clients and organizations. The programme is well-supported by a network of experienced Data Scientists and Analysts. Course is short and compact, targeted to get you industry ready and certified within the shortest time, working around your busy schedule.

Certified Data Scientist Programme Objectives:

  • 1. Provide an in-depth understanding of Python programming and its application in data science.
  • 2. Equip participants with robust skills in exploratory data analysis and data visualization techniques.
  • 3. Develop proficiency in building and evaluating both supervised and unsupervised machine learning models.
  • 4. Offer practical experience in project scoping, requirements analysis, and execution within a data science framework.
  • 5. Cultivate the ability to communicate findings and insights effectively from data science projects.

Workshop 1: Certified Data Scientist I: Python and Foundations of Data Analysis – Python Programming for Data Science (2 Days)

This workshop is dedicated to introducing the Python programming language and its application in data science. This workshop provides an essential foundation in Python coding, focusing on the language’s capabilities for data manipulation and analysis. Emphasizing practical skills, it offers participants a thorough grounding in Python’s core concepts, preparing them for more advanced data analysis tasks in subsequent modules.

Workshop 2: Certified Data Scientist I: Python and Foundations of Data Analysis – Exploratory Data Analysis and Data Visualization (2 Days)

This workshop builds upon the Python programming skills acquired in Workshop 1, guiding participants through exploratory data analysis (EDA) techniques and data visualization using Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Plotly. This workshop emphasizes the importance of EDA in uncovering patterns, detecting anomalies, and testing hypotheses with visual methods. Additionally, an introduction to creating web applications with Streamlit for data science will be provided, enabling participants to share their insights interactively.

Workshop 3: Certified Data Scientist II: Machine Learning Mastery – Supervised Machine Learning (2 Days)

This workshop delves into the core concepts and techniques of supervised machine learning, which is pivotal for predictive analytics in various domains, including the military. The workshop covers the full spectrum of supervised learning, from understanding the fundamental principles to applying and evaluating models such as logistic regression, decision trees, and ensemble methods. Participants will engage in hands-on exercises to solidify their understanding, culminating in the development of a trained model on a relevant dataset.

Workshop 4: Certified Data Scientist II: Machine Learning Mastery – Unsupervised Machine Learning (2 Days)

In Workshop 4, participants will explore unsupervised machine learning techniques that are essential for discovering hidden patterns and relationships in data without pre-labeled responses. This workshop will provide a solid foundation in unsupervised learning concepts, clustering techniques, dimensionality reduction, and association rule learning. Participants will gain hands-on experience applying these methods to datasets, resulting in a comprehensive understanding of how unsupervised learning can be leveraged for insightful data analysis.

Workshop 5: Certified Data Scientist III: Applied Data Science Project Execution – Project Scoping and Requirements Analysis with an Introduction to Data Science Deployment (2 Days)

This workshop tailors data science project scoping and requirements analysis within the military context, emphasizing the initial stages critical for successful project execution. It introduces participants to the processes of defining project objectives aligned with military operational goals and effectively communicating with stakeholders. The workshop extends to cover the essentials of data science deployment, focusing on the use of version control with Git and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) workflows.

Workshop 6: Certified Data Scientist III: Applied Data Science Project Execution – Executing Data Science Projects

This workshop serves as the capstone event for the Certified Data Scientist program, consolidating the knowledge and skills participants have acquired through a guided project. This workshop allows participants to apply their data science skills within a military context, using real or simulated data to solve practical problems. Emphasizing the end-to-end process of a data science project, this workshop encompasses dataset preparation, model application, performance evaluation, and the communication of findings through a final presentation.

Where Our Students Work At

The curriculum is hands-on and practical, emphasising on developing data science intuition rather than simply coding. Coming from a non programming background, I picked up data analytics, data visualisation and machine learning skills that are relevant to industry practices. With the guidance of the instructors, I’ve since secured a Data Governance role at a leading security organisation. Thank you so much, JCube!!!

Evelyn Wong, Analyst, Leading Security Organisation

Thanks Dr. Jack. The resources are a great help indeed. Really appreciate it. Want to award you “BEST LECTURER EVER”.  As for my current work, they are using R scripts to automate the process of combining excel sheets and then writing to word document to send as daily reports.

Tan Cheng Kiat, Analyst, Healthcare Ministry in Singapore

I say the course curriculum is very focused on training students to handle real-world data analyst work using Python and that the skills learnt will be good enough to support and grow your role as an entry level data analyst.

Ng Yee Tat, Manager, Large Telco in Singapore

I have picked up skills working with APIs, data cleaning, data visualisation and data analysis. Projects focused on working with Python 3, Pandas, and Natural Language Toolkit.  Both Dr. Ke and Jack are competent, patient and motivating, encouraging us to learn and complete our projects!
