Hi, is anyone enrolled in any Data Analytics Courses or has completed the course? any experience to share? am thinking of enrolling in https://www.techcareers.sg/data-analytics/https://www.techcareers.sg/data-analytics/.

I always discourage people from taking any technical courses that is conducted by any Polytechnics. In this case, it seems like the academic part is going to be fronted by NYP.

The reason is very simple, in Poly, most of the lecturers do not have sufficient (1) technical depth to teach machine learning, and (2) do not have any practicable experience in applying machine learning in real life scenario. I speak from experience, having interviewed poly lecturers for data science positions before.

In terms of recommendations, I would say, taking these 2 course from heicoders academy is much better:
1) https://heicodersacademy.com/AI100
2) https://heicodersacademy.com/AI200

Their students have landed positions in top notch financial firms for DA positions, and their curriculum is created by Ivy league people who worked in silicon valley before. I truly think this is one of the best Data Science schools in Singapore, and that is why I send my employees to their company for training as well.

If you are interested in this program, then I recommend you take AI100 and AI200 from Heicoders Academy, and then apply for the TFIP program: https://www.ibf.org.sg/programmes/Pages/TFIP.aspx

This program is much better in terms of allowance and the quality of partners is much better as well. And yes, Heicoders Academy students have managed to get into this program if that is what you want to know.

really appreciate and thanks for sharing the details with me. Am currently looking into the links you provided.
But just wonder, if I go straight to apply for the TFIP program, because what is taught at AI100 and AI200 would also be covered in the program or is it that the chances of getting into the TFIP is higher if I have the AI100 and AI200 cert?

No problem man! Anyway, your chances of getting into TFIP would be much higher with the AI100 and AI200 cert. This program is quite competitive, and you want to show the assessors that you are so passionate about data science that you have already done some courses on it.

Plus, the best part is that AI200's final project is a Kaggle (https://www.kaggle.com/) project. If you are not familiar, Kaggle projects are really big deal. If you do well on Kaggle, you can be sure any discerning data science team would want to hire you.

So by taking AI200, you would already have a solid entry in your portfolio. For context, more than 70% of the students with a degree in data analytics/data science don't even have a kaggle project in their portfolio. Heck, many of them don't even know how to approach a Kaggle project.

And so, having this project in your portfolio tend to make you stand out more.
