Overview of the Program

Data Science is one of the most on-demand career pathways today. Companies require Data Scientists to not only conduct the usual business intelligence. Our program focuses on Python and SQL and equips you with all the fundamental skills to launch your career in Data Science.

With more data collected by companies today than over collected, every business, regardless of industry, requires professionals who can analyse data, draw useful insights (Data Analysts), build machine learning models to make predictions (Machine Learning Engineers), and structure data pipelines that collect data and preprocess it before storing or serving it automatically to ready-made data models (Data Engineers).

Hear from a student

I enjoy how the course work is structured, my Technical Mentor is super reliable and provides useful resources that compliment the course work I’m doing. The support from Zindua is excellent, they have a dedicated Slack channel where we ask and receive help from both the Technical Mentors and my fellow students. The projects are challenging but manageable and help reinforce the material covered. I would recommend Zindua to anyone who wants to kickstart their tech career and want a personalised learning experience.
