Certificate in Advanced Big Data and Data Analytics (CABDDA)
Big data is a change agent that challenges the ways in which organizational leaders have traditionally made decisions. This course provides participants with the confidence to store, process, analyze and present big data use cases within their organizations. This course provides a multitude of hands-on labs with Spark, a key big data technology used to solve data intensive problems. Participants will gain the knowledge and skills they need to assemble and manage a large-scale big data analytics project. Lastly, participants will work through advanced machine learning and deep learning use cases.
This is our most advanced course in our big data series following Certified Big Data and Data Analytics Practitioner (CBDDAP) and Certificate in Big Data Fundamentals (CBDF). Participants will aim to identify areas within their organization that can be improved through big data use cases, and work on an individual chosen data project during the course. By the end of the course, participants will be able to work through multiple methods and practical approaches to leverage Spark for advanced big data analytics.
