BEFORE YOU BOOK

Is this the right course for you?

This is for you if…

  • You are changing career and want a portfolio, not a single project.
  • You can commit two live sessions a week for twenty-four weeks.
  • You want a named mentor you meet one-to-one every week.

This is not for you if…

  • You already do this job — it will cover ground you have.
  • You need a regulated qualification for visa or professional registration. This is not one.
  • You cannot attend live sessions. The recordings are a backup, not the format.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PROGRAMME

Asked before every Data Science + Agentic AI cohort

Do I need to know how to code before I start?

No. Weeks one to four teach Python from the beginning, with AI-assisted coding alongside. What you do need is to put the practice hours in between sessions — roughly eight to ten a week.

How much maths is there, honestly?

Less than a university course, more than a bootcamp. You need to be comfortable with percentages, averages and reading a chart. We teach the statistics you need in weeks twelve to fourteen from first principles — no calculus, no proofs.

What does “agentic AI” add?

Weeks nineteen to twenty-two. Once you can build, explain and deploy a model, you learn to put an AI agent in front of it — one that plans, calls your models and data as tools, and is tested before anyone relies on it.

Can I choose the industry for my capstone?

Yes. Your capstone is shaped around the industry you want to work in — technology, finance, banking, healthcare, hospitality and travel, consulting, retail, or supply chain and operations — with real-world-style data and a portfolio-ready result.

What happens if I do not pass the capstone?

You get detailed feedback from both assessors and one resubmission at no cost, normally four weeks later. If it still does not meet the standard we will tell you plainly and you keep your placement support either way.

Can I switch to a shorter course if this is too much?

Yes, up to the end of week six. We move you to the next Data Analytics cohort on the Professional Programme and refund the difference in fees. It happens a few times a year and it is not a problem.
