“Overall experience on Zoom was maybe even better than in IRL classroom because the instruction takes place right on your own screen, with less distraction. Great overall experience.”
“Given the fact that we had to do this entire class remotely due to Covid-19, I didn’t have very high expectations it would run so smoothly. However, I don’t think it could’ve gone any better. Not only do I feel very comfortable with the program now, but I’m actually excited to use it!”
“This was the first online class I’ve taken with ND and it was a great experience. Looking forward to the other classes I’ve signed up for!”

1-Minute Overview

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this certificate structured?
The certificate is comprised of four classes that teach you four different but complementary skills:
1. In the Python for Data Science class you learn Python (the programming language) and how to use it to import, analyze, visualize data.
2. The Python for Machine Learning class is a second level Python class that teaches students how to use Python to predict and forecast from data they have previously analyzed using regression and other statistical techniques.
3. In Python for Automation you learn how to use Python to automate everyday tasks using Python and Beautifulsoup.
4. Lastly, as a data scientist, it is imperative that you know SQL in addition to Python. In our SQL Bootcamp, you’ll learn how to work with databases and how to manipulate data in between them.
With all of these classes, students will fill all the pre-requisites needed for an entry-level data scientist position.
How many students are in a class?

Noble’s typical class ranges from 8–12 students, but we accept up to 20 students.
How does this certificate prepare me for the job market?

The classes will prepare students with all the skills necessary for an entry-level position in data science. Most entry-level jobs are looking for three core technical skills: Python proficiency, SQL proficiency, and proficiencies in Python data science libraries. All of these skills will be taught throughout the classes in the certificate.
Why is SQL included in the data science certificate?

SQL is a necessary skill because as a data scientist one must feel comfortable being able to explore a database and how to modify data within it. Our SQL bootcamp will cover all of the necessary topics a programmer in SQL must know. The class will cover everything from basic database terminology to advanced querying techniques so that you are confident using SQL in your workplace or on your resume.
Is there mandatory work outside of the classroom?

Students are not required to complete any work outside of class. However, we provide students with bonus materials if they would like extra practice.
What tangible skills do students leave with after the certificate?

Students will leave with proficiencies in both Python and SQL. Additionally, students will be proficient in various Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, BeautifulSoup, and Sci-Kit learn. These libraries will allow students to automate data collection, perform analysis on the data, graph the data, and use this data to create predictive models. In the SQL class, students will learn how to explore, modify and export data from a database and students will also be introduced to foundational concepts like tables, data types, and queries.
What happens if I need to miss a session?
You have some options:
- If you can’t come into the classroom, but can still attend remotely (live online using a screen sharing app), please let us know ahead of time so we can get you information to attend online.
- You can make up that session in a future offering of the class, provided that the class is running with an available seat.
- You may be able to go through some exercises for that session. Ask your instructor about what you’ll be missing.
Does this course require any prior knowledge or experience?

Students must be comfortable using a computer. No other prior knowledge is required.
Do you offer discounts or a payment plan for this course?

Hands-on Python Training

Dive into coding within the first 10 minutes of training. After watching a professional demo, students work through hands-on exercises like cleaning a data set, creating graphs, and analyzing stock market data.

Highly Reviewed by Our Alumni

From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and proprietary curriculum, we deliver a learning experience our alumni can be proud of.

Having no prior knowledge or experience in computer/data science, I feel as though this course prepared me well in order to use and apply Python through a thorough, yet understandable curriculum.

Gabriel Kerstein

A complex subject, clearly broken out into simple steps.

James Siwicki

The Python for Data Science course was a mix of theory and hands on application. Probably the best value class out there.

Lorela Blaka

Course content was more than adequate and very applicable to Data Science and analysis. Learned a lot of takeaways that I will apply at work.
