FAQ

1.    Who is the course for?

This course is for those who would like to learn how to use Python to conduct advanced analyses using data visualization algorithms and models. The Data Visualizations with Python Course is available as a specialization course for our Data Analytics Program, or it can be taken as a standalone course.

2.    What are the prerequisites and requirements for the 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 be comfortable using many of the common libraries for working with data, for instance, Pandas, NumPy, and Seaborn. It’s also necessary to have practiced executing basic Python commands in Jupyter Notebook or a similar tool, such as Google Colab, nteract, VS Code, or JupyterLite.

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.

3.    Which tools will I use and what are the costs?

You’ll be using the tools; Jupyter Lab, GitHub, Anaconda, and Python. You'll also use a Word Processing tool and a Presentation tool of your choice.
