Learn data analytics and AI skills.

from the industry experts.

Many companies trusted this program and upskilled their staff to become a data-driven decision maker.

So, what is Data Science?

So, what is Data Science?

Is it doing geeky stuff, and creating ads that follow customers? No!

Data Science is a skill that uses business knowledge, maths, and algorithms to extract insights from data.

That could be:

  • Data from your E-commerce store.
  • Data from your business process or factory line.
  • Data from your marketing or accounting agency.
  • Data from the finance markets.

Every company (even a cafe) is using data to do better business – to increase revenue and cut cost.

Learn & apply data skills.

It’s one thing to read and know what big data or machine learning is. It’s another to be able to practice it.

A truly valuable person can apply them at work. Whether it’s building an analytics dashboard or prediction model, data is only useful if we harness it.

Data Science 360 turns you data-capable. A data scientist.

How is Data Science 360 different from an RM87,000 university course?

A start & end date.

Data Science 360 is not a self-paced course. It has a start and end date. The main chunk of the program is during the 4 days of physical classes & subsequent coaching calls.

We observe that it typically takes 6 weeks, with the 4 physical classes in between, for our students to complete what they signed up for.

Taught by practitioners.

We know most of you want a data science job. Your goal might be to increase your salary.

We think the best way to do that is to equip yourself with practical data science skillsets. Academic stuff is great, but honestly, companies want people who can execute and move mountains.

Learn industry recognized tools & platforms.

The tools you’ll learn in Data Science 360 are widely used in various business sectors from programming, machine learning, and data science.

Build real-world data science projects.

Practical data science is different from academic data science. To be able to work as a data scientist, you need to be able to apply it. That’s why in Data Science 360, you’ll work on actual data science projects, from:

  • Predicting telco churn. (Classification)
  • Forecasting advertising ad spend. (Supervised Learning)
  • RFM analysis (Unsupervised Learning)
  • Social Media Analysis (Unstructured data analysis)
  • Analyzing HR data.

No data scientist is complete without SQL, a standardized programming language used to manage relational databases and perform various operations. 

Data science topics you’ll discover.

Data Science 360 includes practical data science lessons, transferrable to actual work.

Obtaining data.

The first step in data science is to collect data. Most data do not come in a ready format. You’ll learn methods & work with APIs (Application Programming Interface), to scrap & collect data from web pages, social media platforms, and turn them into an analysis-ready format.

Data cleansing.

After collecting data, you need to get it into a form that is ready for analysis. Data cleansing is when you diagnose your data for problems, deal with missing values and outliers, to ensure quality results from your analysis.

Sentiment analysis.

Sentiment analysis is a Natural Language Processing (NLP) technique, used to quantify subjective information. Here, you will learn to analyze customer sentiments from text data to uncover user behavior & purchasing habits.

Machine learning

Machine learning is about teaching computers how to make decisions. Here you will learn how to extract features, build supervised and unsupervised machine learning models.

You will learn three key machine learning tasks: classification, regression, and clustering, to identify patterns and make predictions.

Forecasting

You will learn to fit the ARIMA model, a forecasting algorithm, to time-series data to better understand the data or to perform forecasting.
