Correlation One

This was a wonderful 12-week course in which I improved my programming and teaching skills. Correlation one has developed a great course that is directed by Professor Natesh Pillai while supported by the T.A. team. The case study method allowed us to learn about data science, programming, AI, statistics, business, and maths in real-world industries. Our team was able to develop a health application for a real medical problem in a Colombian hospital. After my experience in DS4A Colombia, my career has improved and I have used the developed skills in different projects. I think it is a great opportunity for Colombian and LatAm people to learn from a wonderful team of experts. Read less

It was a 12-week experience where we went through the world of data science, with the help of the Correlation One team and especially Professor Natesh Pillai, where we learned about how to address the problems that happen today, what tools to use and make analysis that are valuable for different business units in various industries. We interacted in groups, where we addressed a proposed problem and presented the solution according to what we learned and the experience of each member of the group. For Colombia, these programs help to strengthen this field and complement little known professions such as Statistics in the country and its importance to society. Read less

Data science for all was a brief but rich experience to get up to speed on data science. The course goes through the most relevant and practical aspects of data science, I recommend it for new and experienced data scientists or if you want to become one.

Correlation one is a very well organized and profesional academy that is setting the standard of online/presencial learning on technology topics related to data science.

With the support of its great learning platform and content as well as its teaching assistants, the main teacher, Natesh Pillai, leads a journey of lots of learning and practice. All the techniques and topics are supported with theory on probability and statistics, Natesh is an amazing statistician and professor from Harvard and its one of the main strengths of the course, without him the whole journey would not be as amazing as it is.

Expect to do a great deal of fun and enriching homework and yet be supported with either the teaching assistants or Natesh, the lectures are very cool and all of them have practical applications on real work environments.

Also at the final steps of the course you need to do a final project that measures and challenges your learning of the course with a real problem from real companies and real data, and also with a team you get to share and learn from each other’s knowledge.

If you finish the course you get a professional looking diploma that you can share on your LinkedIn profile, but it’s not only that: your life can change, most people get new jobs or get promotions, in my case I am a seasonal teaching assistant for the upcoming programs!!!

Expect to enrich or build your knowledge on data science with well founded fundaments of statistics, and also you will get to share with people that are working on the field!!! You will be in contact with new people, you will have the satisfaction of finishing a high demanding course and learning from the best with the best people.

I absolutely recommend this course and the whole data science for all program with the sponsorship of the Colombian government and Mintic, it’s great to see our government investing on such a high quality programs like this one.

The environment in which the classes were taught was optimal, especially considering we were under a pandemic. It was pretty cool to have the opportunity to learn from  tenured professor and from different professionals from their respective fields. The whole course was challenging but TA's had your back in case of need. Overall a satisfying experience with a lot of learning and excellent material. It was life changing to a degree I feel comfortable now when talking about Data Science and Machine Learning. The course can be a great introduction to this amazing area and gives you the basic knowledge so you can then learn on your own and specialize in the fields of your liking. I would recommend it.

This is one amazing experience, it is highly recommended for people that want to learn how to be an excellent Data Science (AWS, Data Mining, Data Modeling and some about Development), the course combines theory with practice explained by most incredible teachers with high experience in their fields.   Read less

DS4A was sincerely an amazing experience. Professor Pillai, the Teacher Assistants , Students and Guest Speakers all formed a community of support that elevated the learning experience . The curriculum mirrors the exact information you would learn if you would take a data certificate course which can be pretty expensive, so it covers some impressive ground. They also seem to be adding some more tracks of interest so that may bolster what participants get to learn. You have the option to get help if you need more time to understand a concept but you can also jump into advanced boot camps if you have more experience or are ahead of the class. Overall if you have the opportunity to apply I would recommend giving this course your all, its well worth it.  Read less

Not only I could learn a lot but most important I got inspired to set data science as a professional career goal. I'm an economist and enjoyed to share with students from different disciplines and industry backgrounds. It was challenging because of the pace of the course and the diversity of applications. I feel lucky to have had this opportunity and would like to thank again to the Ministry of Information Technology and Communications, these are public policies that truly drive present and future economic development.

Excellent intensive program for experts as well as for novices.  Well balanced between based and advanced concepts, making it a very challenging program for all participants.  From a personal point of view, it has been one of the most demanding and fruitful academic program I have been involved.

It is a great program and really challenging. Classes are great but review the material prior to the class is key. Professors are professionals with a lot of experience and amazing knowledge of Data Science. I learned a lot and I was able to apply the concepts right away in my role as a Consultant Analyst. I had the chance to surprise Managers at my company by applying advanced concepts in Data Science as well as use python to automatize tasks. Glad I was part of this program.  Read less

I highly recommend this program. Here's why:

1. Top scholars teaching; no 'chauffer' knowledge. These guys really know what data science is about.
2. Amazing Teaching assistants. The support is so good when learning; also when competing (which is part of learning).
3. The course is so well-designed. Especially, teaching: engagement is high. Combining theory, programming, stories, cases, and also music, makes the experience very sticky and valuable.
4. Finally, the course makes you work, makes you compete, makes you feel uncomfortable (which is good for learning), and ultimately, makes you learn.

Don't hesitate to apply and invest your time and energy in acquiring amazing skills. Read less

 I'm just delighted that I could attend this program. The overall experience was excellent: great training materials, top professors on the domain, superb training platform and most importantly, an evident extra effort to make it an enjoyable learning experience.
The program has a somewhat fast pace and intensity and requires an active engagement from the student during 13 weeks, both on classes, on homework assignments and on a data science project execution. The course really delivers on the content quality and on the promise that data science topics will be thoroughly explained and learned by the student. Read less

This course allowed us to learn the key concepts to perform data analysis of great quality. The instructors made sure we understood everything and provided us with strategies to solve real world problems through Data Science. I am satified with the acquired knowledge and I am excited to apply it. Read less

Incredible experience. Great teachers. This course is a data science course like no other (specially because of the teachers' attitude and methodology). Work sessions are intensive: days of more than 8 hours of activity, but it's absolutely worth it. In 11-12 weeks you'll end up getting a 1st class practical introduction and overview of the data science field. Read less
