What is micro-credential?

Microcredentials are designed to upskill you for work in rapidly-growing industries, without the time and cost commitment of a full degree. Your micro-credential can stand alone as an independent credential, and some also offer academic credit to use towards a degree.

On this micro-credential, you’ll work through practical programming exercises in R language to learn the process of tidying, harvesting, and wrangling data and applying statistical models to simulate complex functions that solve a broad range of problems.

Using data visualization techniques, you’ll learn to interpret and explain data to inform your decision-making process and communicate your message to others.

You’ll also explore the essential ethical, legal, and organizational issues of data collection and management.

You’ll gain the skills you need to apply for roles as a data scientist or use the knowledge you’ve gained to enhance your current organization.

The data science and data analytics industry is expected to grow by seven times in the next few years, reaching a value of $103 billion by 2023.
