Through the interactive courses, you will gain knowledge in Python, R, Machine Learning, AI, and much more. You will also complete mini projects to gain practical experience and test your skills while you study.

The exam is 90 minutes long and can be sat either in your local testing centre or online.
Step 4 - Practical Projects
Now that you have completed your theory training and official exams, you will be assigned 2 practical projects by your tutor. The projects are the most important part of the traineeship as it will showcase to employers that you have skills required to work in a data science role. The projects will use real world scenarios where you be utilising all of the skill that you have learned.
