Educational Program
Data Scientist Training from Scratch - ABDA™ Certification Package -
This program focuses on acquiring the Big Data Analyst certification provided by and promoting its practical application in data analysis. We begin with the fundamentals of data science. DASCA™ certification programs are already widely adopted by major universities and corporations in the United States.
Eligibility for the DASCA™ certification exam is granted only to participants who demonstrate sufficient aptitude during the course. Upon reaching the passing score, the Certified Associate Big Data Analyst (ABDA™) credential will be issued.
The ABDA™ credential helps you build a dream career in the big data industry through an exam that covers comprehensive market knowledge and diverse competencies. While analytics is not a field everyone excels in, adding big data technologies like R, Flume, Hadoop, Sqoop, and other advanced platforms to your skill set will allow you to truly master it.
Obtaining ABDA™ certification is not just about handling large-scale data; the key is learning how to effectively utilize the data you've acquired. This latter point is a significant challenge for the Japanese data science industry and will become an essential requirement for surviving in an increasingly information-driven future.
Please note that this is not a program where you can simply 'buy' a certification with money. We ask that individuals with low motivation for learning or those who do not intend to apply the program content to their own environments refrain from participating.
