Certified training as a data scientist

The certification takes these diverse tasks into account through a modular competency profile. The lowest level is the Foundation Level. At the second level, the Data Scientist Basic Level certificate or, alternatively, a specialist certificate can be obtained. The basic certificate and a specialist certificate, together with proven practical experience, lead to certification as an Advanced Data Scientist.

Building on this, you can obtain the “Senior Data Scientist” certificate by documenting and presenting a project you have carried out independently. Certification is carried out by the Fraunhofer Personnel Certification Body in accordance with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 17024.

Certification manual and examination regulations

To the training courses with certification 

If you are new to the world of artificial intelligence and machine learning, our introductory training courses provide the ideal foundation.

With our compact introductory formats, we offer you a one- to two-day training course that introduces you to the content and methods and provides a basic understanding of the respective topics.

As preparation, you can take part in our free Python preliminary course.

Get the perfect start in data science with our certified five-day course »Certified Data Scientist Basic Level«, in which you will walk through the process steps of a data science project and learn about relevant technologies, methods, and fundamentals at every step. This training course also forms the basis of our certification program.

If you want to gain expert knowledge in specific methods, our courses for advanced learners are the right choice for you.

Specialize in data science topics such as deep learning, time series analysis, and more. In these courses, our experts impart knowledge with a high level of detail and practical relevance.

Our in-house training courses prepare specialists and managers for AI projects. Get a customized training program for your team: either with individual training or a ready-made training roadmap.

Our overview presentations provide insight into the possibilities, trends, and challenges of big data.

  • Master plan for urban planning
  • Big data for smart cities
  • Analysis of real-time data in crisis situations and in city management

Further overview presentations can be found under the business areas of the Fraunhofer Big Data Alliance. We would be happy to put together a customized program for you. Please contact us directly.

What our participants say

»A thoroughly good introduction to the theory and a good overview of the most important approaches and methods.«

»The neutral evaluation of the tools is particularly noteworthy. Unlike training courses offered by other providers, there was no sales pitch.«

»I thought it was great that there were lots of opportunities to apply what I had learnt in Rapid Miner.«

»I really liked that the models were explained in relation to practical applications.«

»The training was conducted in a very open manner. During the presentations, the participants' questions and interests were addressed.«

»There was an open, hands-on atmosphere for discussion.«

»The instructors' knowledge of tools and possibilities is very good. Questions were answered ad hoc.”«

 

»What I find particularly interesting is the connection between scientific principles and the programmatic processing of business-relevant data.«
