Demonstrate your abilities in Data Science

DataCamp’s Data Science Certifications offer an excellent opportunity to showcase your data skills, with two levels available. The Data Scientist Associate certification is designed as an entry point, providing foundational knowledge to help you become a Data Scientist by demonstrating your ability to manage data, explore metrics and visualizations, and implement supervised and unsupervised learning approaches. The Data Scientist certification builds on this foundation, testing advanced techniques and preparing you for your first Data Scientist role by assessing your ability to collect, manipulate, and analyze data, as well as communicate findings and make recommendations to business leaders.
