This flexible program of online courses is aimed at anyone who deals in data and is seriously concerned about obtaining information from it.
You’ll begin with a practical introduction to data mining and learn to mine your own data using the popular Weka workbench. You’ll go on to discover more advanced data mining techniques, including how to mine large datasets.
Finally, you’ll look at a variety of popular packages that can be used to extend Weka’s functionality, and gain the skills you need to become a data mining wizard.
Programs are made up of short courses, most of which you can join for free.
However, if you want to take the final assessment and unlock the award or accreditation for the program, you must upgrade each individual course or buy Unlimited to gain a Certificate of Achievement for all the courses in the program.
If you want to spend more time on course material and better demonstrate what you've learned, you may choose to upgrade each course. You can upgrade your courses at any point after you enrol.
When you upgrade a course, you get ongoing access to the course material for as long as the course exists on FutureLearn. This means you can return to the subject whenever you like.
You will also be given access to any course tests, and the ability to qualify for a downloadable and printed Certificate of Achievement to show what you’ve achieved.
If you have Unlimited, you will get access to all of the short courses in this program, plus thousands of other short courses and tests.
You have the ability to learn at your own pace throughout your subscription time and gain digital Certificates of Achievement on all your courses.
If you gain a certificate on a course, you will keep access to the course’s content beyond your Unlimited subscription time so you can revise the content whenever you need.
Unlimited costs $39.99/month. Find out more about Unlimited.
