WHY LEARN DATA SCIENCE?

Ever encountered a situation where you were shopping online and bumped into advertisements that were surprisingly related to your searches on Facebook or other platforms continuously for about a week? Data Science is behind this.

Companies are now using Data Science to better target consumers, make hiring decisions and predict process failure. Businesses understand the importance of data and are now placing immense emphasis on Data Analytics skills to drive innovation and make powerful decisions. Not just decisions, but informed, data-driven decisions.

Our Hackwagon programme allocates up to 5 teaching team members per class to ensure the crucial instructor, peer and mentor support necessary for your enjoyable Data Science learning journey. Break into Data Science with our Data Science track which caters to everyone, from beginners to advanced coders.

There will be 58 million jobs by 2022 in the areas of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, according to the World Economic Forum, but only 300,000 people are now qualified.

Data Science 101 (DS101) course was started to guide beginners with zero knowledge in programming. Completing it will allow students to be prepared for Data Science 102 (DS102) course, where students learn advanced data analytics toolsets and create their own data project. Finally, the Data Science 103 (DS103) is our master class where students learn how to build a full data pipeline that incorporate machine learning models.

WORK ON REAL DATA

We are exceptional at bringing students from beginners to professionals. Expect to graduate with the ability to perform deep and insightful analysis. Below are some of our students' project:

SENTIMENT ANALYSIS AND NAIVE BAYES CLASSIFICATION ON E-COMMERCE REVIEWS

One challenge that businesses face is how to gain a better understanding of the voice of the customer. This issue can be addressed by extracting additional information from customer reviews, using sentiment analysis.

HEALTHCARE SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH DOCTOR/BED-PATIENT ANALYSIS

We analyse the number of doctors and hospital beds against the number of admitted patients between 2006 to 2015 to see if the Healthcare sector is sufficiently equipped to support the number of admitted patients.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SINGAPORE’S RESERVE AND CPF BALANCE

This project aims to visualise both Singapore’s Total Foreign Reserves and CPF balance from 1972 – 2015 with the objective to determine if Foreign Reserves growth can be explained by growth in CPF balance.

The demand for data scientists will not see an end to it as technology begins to develop even further. Many learners across all ages learn data science in Singapore to broaden their horizons in the competitive Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) industry.

Data science adds value to the business by allowing organizations unpack the findings from data, followed by carefully analyzing these data to gather useful insights to help make strategic business decisions. Big companies like Netflix have been using data science to gather data about users' movie and film viewing patterns to understand what users enjoy and are interested in, to come up with ideas on the next Netflix Original Series to produce for these users.>

With the increase in demand for this profession, there has been a surge of big data analytics courses and data science programs to help aspiring programmers achieve their dreams. Big data cannot simply be uncovered or analyzed using traditional data-processing application software as they are far too complex or large to deal with. Through our courses, students will be able to see the opportunity behind mastering big data and make full use of the acquired data to discover business opportunities and give themselves the edge over others.

Whether it is data science training or big data training, at Hackwagon, we offer the best data science courses to interested applicants. We have made it possible by providing flexibility in our schedules for interested parties through the availability of part-time and full-time courses.

Our big data courses will be taken over the course of 7 weeks, with each lesson lasting up to 3 hours long. The python courses here are highly interactive and gives students the opportunity to acquire hands-on experience by taking part in industry-related projects through many globally known brands like Youtube, Lazada and Airbnb.

Students will be able to learn python programming in advanced business analytics courses to hone their knowledge of programming and apply it to real data when they go into the ICT industry. The job opportunities available for graduates are not just limited to the ICT industry as students are able to venture into various industries such as Retail, Travel & Hospitality and Healthcare to showcase their ability as a programmer after completing the course. With each course completion, a student will be awarded a data analytics certification to recognize them as a qualified programmer.

With the right data analytics training, students will be able to go out into the workforce as an equipped programmer and provide the business with what they need to succeed. Learn python for data science today over a short period and sharpen your ability as a successful programmer in the future.
