Course Description
Overview
The Certified Data Science Practitioner™ (CDSP) is an industry-validated certification which helps professionals differentiate themselves from other job candidates by demonstrating their ability to put data science concepts into practice. Data can reveal insights and inform—by guiding decisions and influencing day-to-day operations. This calls for a robust workforce of professionals who can analyze, understand, manipulate, and present data within an effective and repeatable process framework. This certification validates candidates’ ability to use data science principles to address business issues, use multiple techniques to prepare and analyze data, evaluate datasets to extract valuable insights, and design a machine learning approach. In addition, it will validate skills to design, finalize, present, implement, and monitor a model to address issues regardless of business sector.Objectives
The exam will certify that the successful candidate has the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to frame and answer questions by collecting, wrangling, and exploring datasets and applying statistical models and artificial-intelligence algorithms to extract and communicate knowledge and insights.
Audience
The Certified Data Science Practitioner (CDSP) exam is designed for professionals across different industries seeking to demonstrate the ability to gain insights and build and operationalize predictive models from data.
