Great Learning

I had the pleasure undertaking the learning journey of the 12-week Advanced Data Science Program held by Great Learning during Sep 2022 to Jan 2023. We had modules on Data Visualization, Machine Learning, Practical Data Science, Deep learning and Recommendation Systems.

We had in-depth sessions by MIT Professors and the industry experts as Mentors. The course was hectic, as I am working full time. We had to commit 10 to 12 hours of time requirement per week. One needs hard work and perseverance to complete the program.

I was highly motivated by the program managers and my course mates. Everyone was always egging each other on to meet the goals in timely fashion and providing helpful tips, without breaking the course guidelines. The program involved working on multiple small projects (~20) to give us the flavor and usage of different data science techniques.

Overall, I am extremely happy that joined the program and now I am equipped to handle the data scientists in any Data Science project going forward. The program has also motivated me to keep learning the data science related topics.

When I jumped into this program, I was baffled and perplexed about how I would get through so much content in such a short time. However, the instructors, as well as the program managers made this program very informative and fruitful. Theory, as well as real-world applications definitely made this course thrilling and exciting. I had a lot of fun coding and writing comments on the Jupyter Notebook, and I would definitely recommend people, regardless of their age and experience, to go through this program and learn about the fundamentals of a discipline that is currently booming in the world.   Read less

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. So much so that I look forward to returning and going through all the optional material. The course was deep and exposed us to the theory and practical applications in the real world. As always you will get out of it as much as you put into it. I feel ready to make smart decisions using data science! This was invaluable.  Read less

My experience with Great Learning facilitating the MIT IDSS Data Science and Machine Learning certificate has been wonderful. I started as a beginner, with no coding background, little math education, and some statistics education from my grad school days. The python basics course was well designed and got me prepared quite well. The mentorship support was fantastic. I didn't think I'd enjoy spending my weekends in the virtual classroom, but our mentor made our classes so incredibly interesting and useful and I gained real-life insights into what it's like to work in the field. The course stretched me beyond my comfort zone. Yet with the support of everyone involved, the hard work was fun, and conquering some complicated case studies gave me incredible confidence that I will be able to apply what I learned in real life. I am beyond thrilled with what I accomplished, thank you Great Learning, my mentor Manu, and MIT IDSS faculty.  Read less

Aditya from Great learning called me when I signed up for the Great Learning program. He didn't give me time to review it online. Continued calling/texting/emails. He did it until I paid. He was very nice. He mentioned to me over the phone, you will get a refund if you don't like it. I did not check their contract as I trusted his words. Later they assigned me to another manager. Shobhit, I attended the course for a week and I felt it was very expensive. When I asked them for a refund. They stopped responding with excuses. Over the phone, they tried to continue by providing different solutions. Then he said I will give you partial funds. No reply for two days, When I emailed them, they said you will not get funds as it was a promotional offer. If I tell them, I would like to continue, they will respond immediately. if I don't pay on time they will disconnect my account. They have power and control. Don't attend their course. It's a scam.
