I enrolled in the course during the pandemic period to learn about data science which is emerging in recent periods. In the initial stage of the program concentrate on the basics of python programming.
The program supporting teams and curriculum is designed to keep up the phase throughout the course, especially during the project discussion forum helps in clarifying the doubts and motivated to complete it on time.
Mentor learning sessions are good if you get a knowledgeable person. It tops up the subject knowledge which you learned during that week’s lectures and videos. It is one of the major pros of this program.
The cons of this program are they have to improve their notes and lecture videos in the initial modules to enable the students to understand better about the concept who are new to programming and data science.
The portal which they are using should be user-friendly and interactive. Overall it is a very good course who is aspiring to become a Data Scientist.

Completing the MIT Applied Data Science and AI Program through Great Learning while balancing a full-time role at Johns Hopkins Medicine and an active PhD program was no small feat — and I genuinely could not have done it without the flexibility and support this platform offers.
I originally enrolled in the October cohort but had to step back when my team at work underwent a major platform migration (Tableau to Power BI), which consumed most of my bandwidth. Rather than leaving me behind, my Program Manager worked with me personally to transition into the January cohort — a level of accommodation I did not expect from an online program.
Even in the new cohort, balancing doctoral coursework, professional responsibilities, and the program remained challenging. My Program Manager continued to check in, offer guidance, and keep me on track until I crossed the finish line.
The curriculum itself is rigorous — covering everything from machine learning fundamentals to deep learning and applied AI. My capstone, a CNN-based malaria cell detection model, achieved 98.92% accuracy, which I’ve since presented in professional and academic settings.
If you’re a working professional or graduate student considering this program, know that Great Learning meets you where you are. The support infrastructure is real, not just marketing language. Read less

I recently had the amazing opportunity to take part in the AI and Data Science program with MIT in conjunction with Great Learning, and cannot say enough good things about it.  The courses started from basic python, and made its way up to machine learning algorithms which are used everyday in the field. This structure makes this course welcoming to everyone even if you have no prior programming experience.
The course content is extremely informative and is packed with resources for you to use in order to help you understand the concepts of the material for the week.  Along with that, the projects are real industry problems to solve that allow you to get experience in machine learning, as well as build your portfolio for the future. The Hackathon is the perfect activity to close up the program and it was a great experience to try and test my skills against those of others.  Doing this on a time crunch also helped to simulate what one might experience when trying to deliver solutions in their everyday job.  I would highly encourage anyone who takes this course to take part in this event as it is a one of a kind opportunity.
In addition to the content, the mentors for the mentored learning sessions and optional masterclasses were very knowledgeable and cleared up doubts from any and all students with relative ease.  My mentor in particular, Dewey Bazirake, did a great job not just teaching the material, but trying to involve everyone in the lessons by including discussion questions with every session, and letting students try their hand at explaining some slides with concepts from the previous weeks content.  This allowed me to have a much more in depth learning experience than if i just sat there listening to someone solely read the material.
My program manager, Samarpita, made navigating the program as smooth as possible.  She was always there whenever I had any questions regarding course content, reminding me of due dates of assignments, or just checking up on me every so often to make sure I was doing okay.  The support provided by Great Learning is second to none and takes professionalism and dedication to a whole nother level.
Even after graduating from the program such a short time ago, I can say that the post program support I have experienced so far has been great.  I had one session with Mohammad Raahemi and he gave me some extremely valuable tips and tricks to help perfect my resume and aid me in finding a job in the industry.  I am looking forward to continuing to use the excelerate programs resources to help with in my future endeavors.
Overall, this program was an invaluable experience and I would recommend it to anyone that has any interest in Data Science regardless of your skill level.  If you take the leap, believe me, you will not be disappointed. Read less

I’m fully employed with several side hustles, and the only way I made it through the course was with support from the program manager Samuel, and flexible course logistics (recorded lectures, asynchronous activities). The curriculum is strong and more than helpful for anyone trying to break into the data science field. The lecturers had some of the most impressive backgrounds and they were extremely knowledgeable and insightful. 

With this course, you get what you put it. So if you work hard and you’re consistent, you’ll learn a thing or two. Read less

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up, but this course has been a great experience. The good part? It's built around no-code AI/ML tools, which makes diving into machine learning so much more accessible.  The course is focused on understanding concepts and solving problems, not getting stuck writing code.
The Sunday mentored sessions kept the learning consistent and structured. Having that dedicated weekly touchpoint to discuss, ask questions, and learn with peers really helps you stay engaged throughout the program.
A big shoutout to Mehak Gupta for being such a proactive support. Whenever we got stuck, she was right there to guide us. 
But the real highlights for me were the hands-on sessions and case studies on KNIME and RapidMiner. Working through real scenarios on these platforms made the technical concepts click in a way that theory alone never could. I went from being completely new to these tools to actually feeling confident exploring them independently.
The mix of structured learning, practical walkthroughs, and solid support is what sets this program apart. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to start AI/ML skills development! Read less
