At CodeClan, we learn by doing, completing each module with a project. As you progress through the course, you’ll create a portfolio that you can show to future employers.
Enhance your CV by earning a Professional Development Award in Data Science, an internationally recognised stamp of approval.
We won’t just teach you data, we’ll help you launch a career in a new industry and support you for six months after you graduate.
Spend two weeks getting comfortable using your laptop like a coder with the terminal and command line, and familiarise yourself with the basic tools used by data professionals including R and GitHub.
You’ll also go through a maths refresher and cover some basic statistics and probability.
Classes start. Learn how to manage and manipulate data. In this module we’ll cover key tools and technologies including R and the Tidyverse, SQL, data cleaning and wrangling, ethics, Unix, version control and reproducibility, finishing with a presentation on data ethics and a project.
In this solo project, you’ll work like a real-life data analyst and clean some messy data sets.
We’ll use ggplot2 and Tableau to create visualisations, communicating data. Time for some statistics and specialist topics including time series and spatial analysis.
We’ll go a little deeper with the basics of hypothesis testing, probability, and simple regression models.
Time for group work. Build a data dashboard using R shiny.
You’re here for your career. That’s why we run a series of classes and workshops to give you the knowledge and confidence to pitch your new skills to employers. Time to stand out on your CV, LinkedIn, portfolio, job applications and in interviews.
Now you’re ready to cover more advanced statistics and specialist topics including power analysis, effect size calculation, text mining and multiple regression.
Get to grips with Python, model building, machine learning, variable engineering, clustering and Sparklyr.
This is an individual project in which you get to shine. Working from a business brief, you’ll clean and analyse data, get stuck into model building and Git and finish with a presentation.
Time to celebrate with your cohort.
Start your new chapter with six months of support including employer talks, project showcase invitation, a profile on our graduate’s page, job alerts, online support and more.
