Datacamp Data Science Certification: An Honest Review

Ngl. Datacamp in my opinion is better than Coursera.
It doesn't offer certification of completion instead you'll have to prepare that material then take the exam which is very elaborate on it's own right.
I regret wasting time on the google data analyst certification, which taught me basically nothing and I found myself in datacamp writing complex sql and python code.
Definitely worth it and I got the 20 dollars for a whole year deal, which was a steal imo.
I'm also planning to get down and dirty in DE stuff and machine learning.
If datacamp really wanted to be perfect. They should just focus on building a comprehensive math course which includes statistics and algebra.

Edit:
- they have loads of statistics content.

I was searching exatly for that! Thank you for this video

Datacamp does really help me prepare for an internship opportunity to get my hands dirty in real life

Generally agree with the assessment on the overall course content, its relatively decent, and is a good introduction. As you point out the coding is quite specific for the assessments, it is also timed. I'm dyslexic, so this gives me little time to respond, and they do not do anything for dyslexics (approx. 5% of any population). Fair enough, I still pass the assessments, but not well despite the fact that I am a data scientist and code everyday.

The actual teaching is just filling in the blanks, and is not memorable, the projects are used to help stitch this all together but it doesn't really work. I completely agree about coursera, I would also recommend practicing some learning on kaggle. Also to anyone else looking to learn, I cannot understate how much reading data science books helps develop comprehension, there are even DS book clubs, although I have only seen this in the R community.

Note. Interestingly the book 'Hands on machine learning' by Geron recommends data quest as a bootcamp instead, which I have heard many say is better.

You should look intoit again. They really ramped up the cert, where you have to do a practical assignment as well as writ two tests, and the course changed.

Hey guys 👋 I'm currently learning on datacamp and Coursera for IT support specialist. In my point of view as a beginner both are great but on Coursera it'll be more on the basics of technologies while on other hand datacamp focuses on data which I'm going to need in reality besides knowing the basics of technologies. I'm hoping to land on a remote job on this even without highschool degree.

thanks for the video really appreciate it! as someone who is looking for a career change to data science datacamp career tracks are very appealing. Do you feel that a data scientist certification with an impressive portfolio is enough to secure an intermediate level job role?

[adamo]

I wonder if you had a chance to look at their Data Engineering course with Python? I have decided to do DE instead and would really love your input here, thanks.

I wish you could do a clip for preparation on these certificates. They have case study and it sounds like slides preparation and oral presentation must be done on 3 days. Pretty difficult for non-native.

[arritaberjani]

If we were to compare this DataCamp Data Science career track and the IBM Data Science professional certificate, which one do you think would be better to start with?

[tumihoang]

how did you turn your datacamp page to dark theme ?

[deadlord]

Do you think that with the certification you can get a job as a junior?

[Dnz]

I'm wondering - have you completed all of these courses that you're reviewing, or are you just reviewing the scopes of those courses?

[sarpongraphael]

Concerning datacamp case study for Data scientist, any details on that?

[edwardj.warden]

Would the course era let me download the Data Science Certificate if I finish the course and take the exam?

[AneesKhan-jpwi]

Can we start our career as a data scientist learning through data camp sirr please explain me

[dreamofyesterday]

Hello just found your channel and subscribed! I am new to Data Science what course do you rcommend?

[puyash]

How long is ds certification in hours?
