Great Learning

I just completed the Applied Data Science course at MIT (by Great Learning) it was fantastic.
The course is very intense, so you should know that you need to dedicate time to make the best out of it. Between weekdays lectures with MIT professors (which was amazing to get a good intuition about each topic) then a weekend mentoring session with amazing instructors that iterate through the urgent topics and work with us through a case study to apply all what we learnt throughout the week.
That’s a lot to learn and practice and leaves you with an amazing foundation for Data Science and several machine learning techniques.
For sure the course doesn’t cover every single topic out there but once you have the good foundation, intuition and will the sky is the limit for new learnings with so much resources out there.
Thanks to everyone (MIT professors, great learning PM, instructors and mentors) for the great curriculum, support and the right tools to succeed. Read less

I enrolled in their MIT-Applied Data Science Program and finished in June 2023.

This is an intense course. Be prepared to be dedicated to complete the course work on time. Keep other activities on hold.

Remember you are going from 0 to 100 in 3 months. You are getting all the right tools for success. Execution and dedication is key.

My advice to fellow learners. Program starts with Python fundamentals. Take a online course on Python and do your best to enter this program with intermediate skills in Python. This will allow you to focus more on core subject matter.

Program is well structured. Content is excellent. Program Managers, Mentors and MIT Professors interaction exceeded my expectations. Read less

I finished Applied Data Science and Machine Learning with MIT and Great Learning. The Experience was amazing! The content of the course is excellent! Comprehensive and challenging. The idea is to learn, so they take you step by step with what you need to know and understand. There is a combination of Lecturers from MIT and Great Learning, both outstanding, the lectures are from one of the top schools, and they answer all your questions. There is also a team to support you outside of the lectures, and I never had to wait more than an hour or less for an answer. The Program Manager plays a big part in this as this requires a lot of support, communication and guidance. Spot on! 
Very well-organised dynamic for learning! Thank you! Read less

I did the Data Science and Machine learning course to upskill myself for the modern world of data.  The course is very comprehensive and requires dedication to get the full benefit. You have an amazing team helping you every step of the way! Highly recommended! Read less

Nitish and Shikha were monumental in my success in this program as program managers. When I felt overwhelmed with the density and complexity of the coursework, they were quick to reach out and help devise a plan for me to get back on track. Not only is this one of the hardest boot camps I’ve done, but it’s the most hands-on, most supported, had great integration of community, and I’m walking away from this experience with 0 prior knowledge to confidently walking into meetings discussing concepts in class. Plus, the UI of the Great Learning website is fantastic.  Read less

12 weeks of engaging learning, that requires commitment, dedication, and professional interest in working with Data and AI.

Covered Concepts

• The course started by covering the required fundamentals such as Basic Python Programming and using Python in Data Science with libraries such as Numpy and Pandas.
• Then we covered Statistical and Probabilistic Data Exploration and Analysis concepts and best practices.
• We gradually started discussing Data Curation and Cleansing strategies as well as Feature Extraction (basic Feature Engineering as well)
• We then started applying the previously covered knowledge in practical Machine Learning Models
• Through the end, we covered heavy AI-oriented courses such as Deep Learning, Neural Networks, and Computer Vision
• The final course was also about Generative AI and ChatGPT breakdown.

Pace

• The amount of work needed will gradually increase, but considerate deadlines and faculty members' support will help guide you through it.
• Almost all the projects and deliverables are designed to accommodate people based on their interests and learning goals. People who rather work closely with code and programming, as well as people who rather focus on business insights and less coding are both considered and welcomed to participate.

Overall
I sincerely and honestly am grateful for the time I spent on this program and I cannot recommend it enough.
Thanks to all the patient faculty members of MIT as well as Great Learning for providing us with such an amazing opportunity. Read less

The Applied Data Science course is 12 weeks of intense learning. Get the conceptual framework from MIT faculty and then learn how to implement the concepts using Python coding projects. I feel like I dove in the deep end and came out swimming like an olympic athlete.  Certainly a great place to begin a career change into the exciting world of data science. The mentors and Great Learning team help give you solve real world problems and business needs. This course is practical, challenging, and very interesting, whatever your preferred field. Highly recommend.  Read less

I want to say the Great learning (MIT IDSS) Data Science and Machine learning (DS & ML) program is a special one of a kind. The seasoned MIT professors who taught the concepts and the mentors who handled the mentoring session did an exception job of explaining how to think, approach and solve real world problems with DS & ML techniques. My program manager, Shweta was really supportive. I must say, it's the best training I have had in the last 10 years and it is worth more than its fee. It was rigorous (like the typical on-campus MIT classes) and require the serious commitment of any professional who is passionate about growing their capacity in this field. I appreciate the program and encourage any one interested in DSML to apply. Read less

I have just completed the AI and Machine Learning No-code/Low-Code Program and had an incredible experience. This program does a great job of giving you foundational knowledge of AI and machine learning. I am now able to deploy my own models despite not knowing how to code or being a "coder". The whole program was extremely valuable, and I have nothing but positive things to say about the curriculum. My only minor issue is I submitted for job assistance and resume help but was never contacted.  Read less

I recently completed a data science bootcamp program and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The course design was well-structured and the practical, hands-on approach to using Python was extremely effective. The techniques that were taught were up-to-date and could be easily applied to real-world business scenarios.The instructors and mentors were patient and always willing to address any questions or concerns that arose during the program. The program manager was also extremely helpful in coordinating schedule changes and assignment submissions to ensure a positive course experience and ultimate success.Overall, I highly recommend this data science bootcamp program to anyone looking to expand their skills and knowledge in this field. Additionally, if advanced and continuous course options become available, I would definitely consider taking them to further enhance my skills. Read less

I just completed the Applied Data Science course at MIT (operated by Great Learning).  Wow....what a fantastic course.  

The course is very intense, so you should know that you're going to need time to work on the topics... a lot of time.    I easily spent 20-40 hrs per week between the live lectures (3 weekdays, with the MIT professors), the live review sessions (Sat & Sun), and all of the review and assignments.  This course feel like you are taking an MIT-paced course.  It's drinking from the fire hose!

But, I learned so much.  I really understand various machine learning models now.  I understand the theory, the performance metrics, the assumptions, and I can critique the models.  In addition, we covered Python, and we covered EDA (exploratory data analysis) and inferential statistics.  The course really is fantastic.  

Great Learning provided us with data science mentors, and connected us to all the other students (~200) through Slack.  We were able to continually ask questions and work through the problems, the models, the insights.  

I have already been recommending it to my friends and colleagues who are interested in data science or AI.

If you have the desire (and the time!), this course is so great. Read less

This is by far the best learning experience I have had in years. I took my time to research all the faculty and to my greatest amazement they were all professors at MIT and MIT IDSS, with a minimum 7 years as professors in the field of Data Science and relevant fields of Statistics and research. This contributed greatly on the quality of lectures delivered. Their session provided a clear perspective into some of the grey areas I had in Data Science and Machine learning. These professors were remarkable and clearly the epitome of knowledge in these topics. They gave extensive discussions with insights and followup reading materials with emphasis on real-world scenarios and how to apply them, there were also accompanied with a lot of hands on exercises.
 
 My Program Manager Kiran Jhajhariya, you are simply the best!!!
 To all our Mentors at the Mentored Learning Sessions, Thanks for making this program a success for me, I couldn't have done it without you.
 
 Thanks to MIT and Great Learning for this wonderful program: Data Science and Machine Learning: Making Data-Driven Decisions
 I am definitely coming back for Applied Data Science Program!!! Read less
