The Institute for Statistics Education

The Programming in Data Science certificate program focuses on courses relevant to learning how to use R, Python, SQL and Hadoop for analytics and statistical analysis. Most courses are 4 weeks long, do not require you to be online at specific times during the week, and offer continuing education credits. The workload for the entire program is the equivalent of 16.5 credits in the U.S. academic system. The courses are taught by recognized authorities with whom you share a private discussion forum for the entire course period. Most candidates choose to take one course at a time. With courses starting every week of the year, there is considerable scheduling flexibility. Admission applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year, so you can start when it fits your schedule.
