Certification in Data

Analytics using Python

E-learning
 Introduction
Unlock insights and excel in your career
with Python 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 LearninGT 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 programmes 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 such as
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 help in opening a world
of possibilities.
