DataCamp’s stellar growth can be attributed to a number of factors, from the evolution of our platform and curriculum, to our instructor community and customer base.

Our Platform and Curriculum

DataCamp for Business

At DataCamp, we believe that data fluency—the ability to understand data, communicate insights from that data, and ultimately to make more informed decisions—is a requirement for data-driven companies and professionals in the 21st century. According to a survey we conducted of over 300 L&D leaders representing diverse industries, building data fluency is a moderate or high priority for 89% of companies. These companies are outperforming their peers in revenue growth, market share, profitability, and customer and employee satisfaction.

DataCamp for Business gives individual teams and entire organizations an online learning experience scaled to their data training needs—to de-risk their AI and machine learning initiatives, close their data skills gap, and track and report on their organization’s data skill gaps and strengths. It’s easy to implement and manage for teams of any size, with advanced analytics and insights, custom learning paths, and seamless SSO and LMS integrations.

Employees need the right level of training to develop the data skills that will enable them to be successful in each of their roles. DataCamp Professional Services is designed to help our customers identify the data skill sets they need within each team or across their organization to achieve their strategic business goals. We help teams map their core responsibilities to a custom set of recommended courses. Our custom learning programs ensure that teams are prepared to leverage their data, remove organizational silos and bottlenecks for increased efficiency, and make data-driven decisions that move their company forward.

Creating the most effective platform to develop data fluency

DataCamp is the learning platform for data-driven companies to build and apply the data skills they need to make better business decisions.

Assess

DataCamp Signal™, our adaptive skill assessment, helps teams and individuals quickly gain a bird’s-eye view of their skill levels in Python and R. Signal isn’t like other tests: learners write actual code in addition to completing multiple-choice questions, and the difficulty of the assessment automatically adjusts based on performance. Signal provides personalized course recommendations based on learners’ strengths and skill gaps, helping them make the most of the time they spend learning on DataCamp.

Learn

To help our learners build data fluency, we’ve expanded our curriculum to cover a wide breadth of technologies and topics, including Python, R, SQL, Git, Shell, Scala, data engineering, spreadsheets, and data science for business leaders. Our library of interactive courses has grown from just one course on January 1, 2015, to over 300 courses today, and our average course completion rate of 60% is far higher than the industry average of just 15%.

Practice and Apply

In addition to the massive growth in our course library, we’ve also added new ways for learners to build data fluency at their own pace, including a mobile app for on-the-go-learning, short daily practice exercises, and projects to apply their skills to real-world problems.

Our Instructor Community

Our instructors represent diverse fields of expertise, ranging from industry to government and academia, and teach from 36 countries and 32 U.S. states. We only work with the best instructors—we receive over 700 yearly applicants and accept just 20% of those who apply.
