certification

Data science is an interdisciplinary academic field that combines statistical analysis, machine learning and computer science to
extract valuable insights from data. With the increasing demand for data-driven decision-making and the rise of big data, data
science has become a critical component of many industries. It integrates domain knowledge from any sector, making it a versatile
and powerful tool for businesses of all kinds.

Python is one of the most popular programming languages used by data scientists, supporting object-oriented, structured and
functional programming paradigms. Earning a Python certification demonstrates a high level of proficiency in the data science
field.

Grant Thornton Bharat’s Learning & Development Academy is pleased to announce the launch of its training programme called
Certification in Data Analytics using Python. This course is designed to introduce participants to the basics of Python, Python
for data science, and statistics for Python. Participants will learn how to write basic programs in Python and understand the
fundamentals of the language, including variables, data types, operators and control structures. They will also learn how to use
popular libraries like NumPy and Pandas to manipulate data and create data visualisations.

By using data science techniques, organisations can uncover patterns, trends and insights that can help them make more
informed decisions, improve business processes and develop new products and services. Whether you are a business owner, a
data analyst or simply interested in learning more about this exciting field, exploring the world of data science can open up a
world of possibilities.
