Learning Specializations
We provide participants with the foundation skill sets for each of the knowledge areas. Our courses include lectures and lab sessions, hands-on programming and interactive learning. Each path includes an opportunity for mentorship, project presentation and soft skill development.
Junior Data Scientist
A practical fast-paced, hands-on training for participants to explore the interdisciplinary field of data science.
The course teaches participants to think in a data scientific way, conduct or approximate experiment data rigorously, develop predictive models and monitor model outputs.
Data Analyst
Equips participants with the ability to set up and run an analysis using R, analyze data correctly, communicate and visualize findings well.
Participants will also be taught to extract insights and knowledge from data.
Data Engineer
Enables participants to understand the importance of data management and realize the value of an organization's data.
The focus will be on broadening their activity towards the whole data life-cycle.
Our learning approach and principles
Proven instructor-led learning to maximize the effectiveness
Virtual learning is part of the curriculum
Opportunities for real-world applications and industry use cases
Capstone projects are mandatory
What Our Alumni Are Saying
“The skills I gained with Data Star have provided me with the competencies required to work in data analytics, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this project. My experience with the Data Star program was thoroughly engaging, covering a breadth of topics across multiple aspects of the data science process within a short span of time. Within three months, I have gained the confidence to conduct statistical analyses and visualize data in R and Python.”
“The actual module content is precise and interesting because the datasheet refers to real-world problems and scenarios where we are exposed to the industry. Very well-paced with a genuine interest in a small group by an experienced and highly skilled trainer. Absolutely wonderful training, the best one I did.”
“Thinking about the whole Data Star experience, I feel that I have been given a torch in a dark alley when it comes to the world of Data Science and Analytics. Coming from a background that is much more reliant on soft skills and less reliant on the technical aspect of things, Data Star has given me the exposure necessary to take steps to upskill myself. The skills I have developed with data star has allowed me to become of more worth to my organization but importantly, given me the tools to upgrade myself and become an overall more effective individual.”
“The program started by setting an expectation on Day 1, that it is not a Read-And-Pass syllabus. The beauty of this program is that it requires the trainees to get their hands dirty and do the actual work throughout the course. It is indeed very different from a lot of programs in the market which just produces a certificate in the end without the trainee actually able to do some real stuff. The course is definitely benefiting anyone who really want to do Machine Learning and Data Science, by creating talents who are able to connect human thought with the machine algorithm, being the bridge within the corporate, into the digital worlds.”
