First, I completed the MIT Applied Data Science certification course.  The ADSP was quite a challenge, and I worked very very hard to complete it.  I felt really confident in what I learned.  Immediately after that, I noticed that there was another Data Science certification course with MIT.  After speaking with my Program Advisor at Great Learning, I felt that taking this course would greatly benefit me to really solidify what I learned.  The course has some similar content with ADSP, but this course was through the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS).  I knew that the course would be just as great as ADSP, so I decided to go for it, and I'm really glad that I did.  I have just completed the MIT-IDSS Machine Learning and Data Science certification course!  
Both courses had the best of professors from MIT teaching us and the content was superb.  Also, the mentored learning sessions on the weekends were so valuable to really solidify the course material from that week.  The Great Learning Mentors were absolutely amazing.  Really knowledgeable, with real-world experience, and very skilled at teaching.  If you didn't understand something, you could send them a chat (during the session) and they would answer the question right then.  And...I signed up for yet another Great Learning certification course - Microsoft AI Professional Program, and I'm really excited to start that one soon.I've had a tremendous experience with Great Learning and I highly recommend taking courses through them.  They are organized, professional, and have everything covered for you.eta:  By the way, Great Learning DOES provide Job Assistance.  I just haven't used it, yet.

This program has been an invaluable experience. The structured approach made complex AI and machine learning topics not only understandable but highly engaging. The live sessions and Masterclass provided practical insights and were instrumental in deepening my understanding, bridging the gap between theory and real-world application.

I had a great experience in the applied data science program at Great Learning. I was able to take more out of this program than any university courses I have taken.  The curriculum is well structured and the classes are dynamic. The program covers many topics and gives the students the opportunity to go deeper if they wish to.  The professors focus on giving key insights and analogies instead going over long and boring examples. For those that require more practice, guided projects and problem examples are offered in pre-recorded format or during mentoring learning sessions. This enables students to work at their own pace.I also had a good experience connecting with staff and other learners. There are plenty of QnA sessions in the program and my program coordinator was always available to help me when needed. Learners are encouraged to interact with each other and are provided with their own space on slack to do so. I have gotten a lot of new LinkedIn connections from learners and mentors. If you are interested or even curious about data science and AI, I strongly recommend this program.
