Introduction
Every one has a di erent style of learning. Hence, there are multiple ways to become a data scientist
(https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2014/09/how-data-scientist-business-analyst/). You can
learn from tutorials (https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/data-science-resource- nder/), blogs
(https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/learning-path-learn-machine-learning/), books
(https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2014/06/books-data-scientists-or-aspiring-ones/),
hackathons, videos and what not! I personally like self paced learning aided by help from a
community – it works best for me. What works best for you?
If the answer to above question was class room / instructor led certi cations, you should check out
machine learning certi cations and data science bootcamps. They o er a great way to learn and
prepare you for the role and expectations from a data scientist.

How can this article bene t you?

In this article, I’ve listed down the essential resources to master the basic and advanced version of
data science using:
Global Machine Learning Certi cations – This list highlights the widely recognized &
renowned certi cations in machine learning which can add signi cant weight to your candidature,
thereby increasing your chances to grab a data scientist job.
Data Science Bootcamps – You can think of bootcamps as online / o ine classroom training which
are held periodically. The motive of these bootcamps is to empower aspiring data scientists with
necessary skills & knowledge highly sought by potential employers, in a short duration of time. These
are like concentrated shots of learning consumed along with a bunch of fellow (aspiring) data
scientists.
2018/mumbai/?
Free Resources for Machine Learning – This list highlights the free course material available on

11 Best Data Science Boot Camps & Fellowship

The principal motive of these boot camps is ensuring the structured acquisition of data science
concepts & knowledge, thereby empowering the participants with necessary skills required by the
recruiters. This concept of teaching has rapidly evolved in many countries. The primary reason being,
the inability of people to stay focused on self-paced courses and follow every step as instructed.
People now look for external support (teacher, mentor, instructor) to monitor their growth and
development.
Here I have highlighted the best of all boot camps being organized in the world. I’ve chosen these

While it may not provide as detailed an analysis of the Machine Learning algorithms, I would also
recommend The Analytics Edge o ered by MIT on edX. This course covers running the algorithms
in R and we even had a private Kaggle competition that contributed toward our nal grade. I don’t
know if the class has been archived or when it might be o ered again, but this was one of the best
courses I have taken online.

Analytics Edge is best suited for folks keen to start learning data science using R Programming
(does not feature machine learning modules). Its a long extensive course and requires persistent
dedication. Kudos to Mr. Shocklee for completing this course !

I have taken Andrew’s ML, JHU practical ML , the Analytics Edge and scalable ML with Apache
Spark from Berkeley . I have di culty understanding your comment above
The Analytics edge covers linear and logistic regression, trees (random forest and cart) and
unsupervised ML such as PCA, k-means and hierarchical clustering. Why do you say “does not
feature machine learning modules”. Is that to mean they do not cover the theory in detail and they
use R packages rather than letting students write their own codes as Andrew’s ML course? I
personally believe the Analytics Edge is much better than Practical Machine Learning course from
coursera.
Thanks,

Independent Coursework This way, you show that you took the time to learn something for
yourself when you re not working, lend Coursera credit, and borrow the brand name of the great
universities there. Hope this helps.

I am halfway through the classes on dataquest.io and love them. First few are free and the rest are
accessible for 50/month. Great website.

Thanks Manish for your great article. I think we have to thanks all these people and institutiuons
that give us this (free) education. One that could be added is the Stanford Course on Statistical
Learning that is currently running on Stanford Online by Trevor and Rob. This course made me
realise that it is no magic but hard work and clever thinking to nd meaning in data using statistics
and data wrangling. It is like looking at the Muppet movie with the two old crumpy man on the
balcony but sometimes it takes me hours to truly understand their 5 minute movie. See:

I Think you have missed a course from IIT Madras.

It is a online certi cation Course through NPTEL called “Introduction to Machine Learning”
conducted by IIT Madras Professor Dr. Balaraman Ravindran. (link 1 :
