In 3 months, we learn fundamental Python to do Data Exploratory, Visualization, Data cleaning, Statistics, Numerical Modelling, Classification etc.
(Curriculum and Instructors) As an experienced Learning Designer, I appreciated the excellent structure of the course, the high-quality lessons, and exercises. Furthermore, the Instructors were excellent in sharing and teaching; they knew their job.
(Job Assistance) This course's target is not for newbies or entry-level to help them get a job after the course. In my perspective, the course is for someone who has some experience in working with data, wants to upgrade their skills, and would be suitable.

I recently took the Product Leadership course offered by Brainstation. Overall, I found the course to be extremely valuable and well worth the investment.
The course covered a wide range of topics related to product leadership, including product strategy, product development, team management, and customer insights. Each topic was presented in a clear and concise manner, with plenty of real-world examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts.
One of the things I appreciated most about the course was the emphasis on practical application. Throughout the course, we were given opportunities to apply what we were learning to real-world scenarios, which helped to reinforce the concepts and make them more tangible.
The instructors (Laura L. & Myriam K.) were knowledgeable and engaging, and they did an excellent job of facilitating discussion and answering questions. I also appreciated the opportunity to connect with other participants, who came from a diverse range of backgrounds and industries.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Product Leadership course to anyone looking to enhance their skills as a product leader. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, there is something in this course for everyone.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -
