Data Science
BOOTCAMP OVERVIEW
Data Science Bootcamp

Overview
Data science is a rapidly evolving field and has application in practically every industry. As ever-
increasing volumes of data get generated, stored, and used for informing strategic decisions, there is
tremendous value in being able to make sense of raw data and gather meaningful insights from it.

That is what makes data science ubiquitous. Once you understand how to think like a data scientist and
work with data using popular tools and techniques, you will be able to apply your learning in sectors as
diverse as marketing, health, finance, technology, sports, and public policy.

As a data scientist, you will often analyse large amounts of structured and unstructured data for
purposes such as identifying patterns, predictive modelling, problem-solving and visual storytelling. In
doing so, you will draw upon your knowledge of concepts and techniques from mathematics, statistics,
and computer science. If you have a curious bent of mind, enjoy problem-solving, and aren’t afraid of
numbers, this may be the career for you!

No prior knowledge of coding is required when taking this bootcamp, as we help you progress from
beginner to advanced, becoming job-ready in three to six months. As part of the bootcamp, you’re
taught the fundamentals of programming and statistics and machine learning to enable you to start
working as a data scientist.

Outcomes of this bootcamp

• Write useful code in Python, one of the most popular languages for programming and data science.

• Collect and clean large amounts and varieties of data and transform them into more usable formats.

• Develop an understanding of key statistical methods in order to read, analyse, and summarise data.

• Present and communicate insights about your data through visual storytelling and reports.

• Use analytical techniques in machine learning, deep learning, and text analytics to identify patterns
and build predictive models.

• Look for relationships and patterns in data and spot trends in complex datasets.

• Solve industry-specific problems using data-driven techniques and domain knowledge.

Going Beyond the Essentials

You’ll learn how to write code that can design and interact with databases to extract data that can solve
real-world problems. The advanced-level curriculum includes understanding and applying key machine
learning and artificial intelligence concepts to practical uses.

Throughout the bootcamp, you will be guided to develop the skills required to think beyond mere
coding or plain analytics. You’ll also learn to communicate insights about your data to technical and
non-technical stakeholders through visualisation. Your understanding of the popular applications of
machine learning and AI will guide you throughout your own projects as you mature as a data scientist.

Code reviewers Powered

by HyperionDev
Bootcamp code reviewers are expertly trained by HyperionDev, the only company that sources, trains
and integrates code reviewers into the bootcamp learning experience for students. The on-demand
code review method helps students to become fluent in the language of their choice.

Our 1-on-1 code review centric

approach works
Code review enables you to learn to code the right way through mastery of deeper aspects of
software development that are a prerequisite for a career in coding. We help you master the deeper
aspects of industry-level development and set the foundation for a lucrative career in coding.

Here’s why learning through code review is smarter:

DON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AS COMPUTERS

• Automated code checking is like spell check for computer programs. But you can’t write
a world-class essay with just good spelling — you need the right tone, facts, grammar,
and style. Only human-led code review can help you learn aspects of coding that are
analogous to tone and style that will make you truly fluent as a developer — automated
graders just can’t help you learn this!

GET UNSTUCK WITH ON-DEMAND TECHNICAL HELP

• Our code reviewers will ensure you move at a steady pace by helping you debug your
programs within 48 hours. This will help you to keep moving forward so that you never
drop out.

BE EXPOSED TO THE INDUSTRY STANDARDS FROM DAY ONE

• Developers in the real world have their work assessed by a senior developer through
the technique of code review. We’re the only bootcamp in the world that exposes
our students to this technique from day one so that you get an advantage in the job
market.
Data Science Bootcamp

We layer a proven, personalised

approach to our code review
INDUSTRY EXPERTS TAILORED TO YOUR GOALS
• You’ll work with experienced code reviewers who will guide you through 1:1 calls, career
coaching, and live chat and email support.

JOIN A COMMUNITY OF CAREER-CHANGERS

• Learn as part of a cohort of students all working towards ultimate career fulfilment. Join
online group tutorials, community chats and meetups, and peer coaching.

FREE OF FEAR OF FAILURE

• Human-led code review builds trust with your educators and lets you progress at your
own pace. Establish a safe space to discuss any roadblocks without fear of failure.

Why Choose Data Science

as a Career?
Data is only as valuable as the person who is able to read it. Data science is the art of collecting,
exploring, and processing raw data so that it produces actionable insights for a business.
Data scientists provide incredible value in being able to conduct in-depth analyses in order to
communicate beneficial solutions to various stakeholders. Because of their inevitable significance to
the tech industry, data scientists are in high demand, and in turn, can earn high salaries. According
to Glassdoor’s 2021 list of best jobs in America, Data Scientist takes the #2 spot, with a median base
salary of $113,000, and coming out on top with high job satisfaction ratings.

If you’re looking for a career that is both rewarding and lucrative, data science delivers on both. Those
who develop data science skills can choose to pursue a variety of career paths, ranging from business
analyst to machine learning engineer.
