FAQ
This course is for those who would like to learn how to use Python to conduct advanced analyses using machine learning algorithms and models. The Machine Learning with Python Course is available as a specialization course for our Data Analytics Program, or it can be taken as a standalone course.
To successfully complete the course, you’ll need to have experience with the programming language Python. You’ll also need to have experience with tools and software such as Excel and Jupyter Notebook, and experience working with statistical algorithms. You should already be comfortable using many of the common libraries for working with data, for instance, Pandas, NumPy, and sci-kit-learn.
Additionally, you’ll need:*
- Interest in machine learning
- Written and spoken English proficiency at a B2 level or higher
- A computer (macOS, Windows, or Linux) with a webcam, microphone, and an internet connection.
*Note: You will be required to invest some independent study time (approximately 1-2 hours per week) towards familiarizing yourself with the tools you’ll use throughout the course, and learning how to use them.
You’ll be using the tools; Jupyter Notebook, GitHub, and Python. You'll also use a Word Processing tool and a Presentation tool of your choice.
All the tools and software you’ll need are free to use—with no additional cost to you.
Compatible operating systems: Windows 11, macOS versions 10.13 and later, Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, or Fedora (Linux).
Questions? Contact us for more information on requirements for your specific operating system.
Yes, the course is entirely asynchronous and online—so you can study when and wherever you’d like so long as you can get online and complete the course on time.
But this doesn’t mean the learning experience is isolated or lonely! You’ll have your mentor, tutor, and student advisor there to support you—as well as access to our active student community on Slack.
We take a rigorously practical approach to learning. You’ll have the opportunity to apply everything you learn in practical ways. Every exercise builds up to a completed portfolio project that your mentor will review and that will show employers the in-demand skills you learn in the course.
If you set aside 15-20 hours per week to study, you’ll complete the course in approximately two months (eight weeks). If you’re able to devote 30-40 hours per week, you can complete the course in about a month (four weeks).
This course offers immersive training in the field of machine learning—including expert-authored curriculum, hands-on projects, and personalized mentorship and support from experts in the field. Everything you need to stand out in the field as the specialist you’ll be.
