Data Science & Engineering

Move the data, then read what it says

Analytics and the pipelines behind it. You learn to model, clean and move data at scale, then turn it into dashboards and decisions a business can act on.

  • SQL to an advanced standard: joins, windows, CTEs, query tuning
  • Python for analysis: pandas, NumPy, visualisation and statistics
  • Data engineering: warehouse modelling, ELT pipelines, dbt and Airflow orchestration
  • Cloud storage and warehousing plus data quality, testing and documentation
  • BI dashboards leadership actually reads, and an intro to practical machine learning
  • A capstone: an end to end pipeline and dashboard on a real Nigerian dataset

  • Linux, shell scripting, networking and Git workflows
  • Docker containers, image security and Kubernetes deployment on the cloud
  • Infrastructure as code with Terraform and configuration management with Ansible
  • CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, plus GitOps delivery using Argo CD
  • Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, structured logging, alerting and incident response

Why this is different

Most notices like this ask for three years. This one asks for three months of your time.

Absolutely free

No application fee, no tuition, no hidden charge. Your time is the only thing you spend.

No background needed

Most of our applicants have never written a line of code. We start where you are.

Ends inside a company

Finish the coursework and the capstone and you are placed in a paid internship, not a certificate queue.
