The GL team is always willing to provide support, answer questions, and resolve any issues promptly.3. The professors deliver excellent classes filled with high-quality content and real-life examples that clearly demonstrate the practicality of what they are teaching.4. The course is intense and demanding, requiring a 12-week commitment, but it's absolutely worth it. The program's design pushes you to learn with intensity and enthusiasm. In the end, it propels you to a higher level in your professional career.

I went into this course uncertain whether I'd be able to truly grasp the material, because I had only the most basic knowledge of probability and statistics. Through Great Learning, MIT provided an education that met me exactly where I was, and brought me all the way through to complete all learning objectives, in a way I could confidently apply in my personal and professional life. Shikha Singh, my Program Manager, kept in frequent context with me, helped me overcome obstacles, and provided the kind of support I needed when I was feeling unsure or confused. I highly recommend Great Learning and the MIT PE ADS course!

I really love Great Learning platform. It not only allows me to attend live lectures done by MIT professors, but also allows access to industry mentors that share valuable experiences working in the data science industry. Program managers Shikha who has been assigned to guide me through the entire journey has been incredible, kind, and provide top-notch assistance to help me feel like this is a VIP learning experience.

Armed with my new capabilities, I'm excited to propel my career to new heights. This is not just a graduation; it's the beginning of a data-empowered chapter in my career.

When I applied to this program, I had zero experience and knowledge in both Python and Data Science. I was skeptical if I could do this, but I really-really wanted to get familiar with this area. Starting from scratch, I am thrilled to share that just three months later, I have gained the ability to proficiently handle all the technical aspects within the notebook, do all the analysis, write reports, and present the results with all the recommendations.  I started with the pre-work materials one month before the program started. It was so thoughtful of the program team to let us get familiar with the subject before the course started. It was very helpful for me, as I did not have any experience in programming. The amount and quality of provided studying materials was well balanced and sufficient (video lectures, recordings, articles, summaries of the lectures, practical examples etc). To get comfortable with new knowledge, I had to review some of the materials repeatedly. I was consistently captivated by the lectures delivered by MIT professors; they were truly awe-inspiring. Missing even a single lecture felt out of the question. Amazing support from mentors to see how all the theory is applied into practice and it was absolute magic for me.  A lot of practical examples. It's a realm where one can truly grasp the inner workings of the world—an immensely inspiring experience. I should also mention the program manager support in all the organizational issues, all the questions, all the support during the course, check-in calls on how I was doing. That made me feel so connected like during offline study.  In summary, this journey has been nothing short of amazing—a personal milestone that I hold dear. Throughout this experience, I was consistently struck by the sheer awesomeness of it all. The incredible people, the fascinating subject matter, the sheer coolness—it all resonated deeply with me. I found myself yearning not just to be part of this world, but to contribute meaningfully to its richness and innovation.

Coming from a non-tech background I wasn’t sure how beneficial this course would be. However, the program manager and program outline was very flexible and helped me ease into the field. They want you to succeed, and learn as much as you possibly can. It is important to note, this course is a lot of work, but ultimately very beneficial in the help. It’s helped me build a strong foundation in data science and I’m excited to build upon what I’ve learned.

I attended Applied Data Science Program through Great Learning, which was 3 month program. The program was very intense packed with knowledge. My Heartfelt thanks for everyone who helped me in this journey - Project Manager, Great Learning Team, Mentors and my peers. The Project Manager was fantastic answering questions. Highly recommend Great Learning for education.

My domain is Operational Technology for Critical Infrastructure focusing on Digital Transformation & Cybersecurity. I was a bit skeptical when I signed up for a Data Analytics Program with coding. However, Great Learning & MIT proved me wrong. The entire 12 weeks was a beautiful learning experience with excellent content and perfect delivery. The program surprised me with ample opportunities to interact, network, and be tested. The pace at which the entire course was orchestrated was the highlight, especially for a senior consultant like me. The best part was the handholding we received throughout the program and specifically during the capstone project. The final presentation was the icing on the cake, really enjoyed it.  
Also, special thanks and gratitude to my program coordinators - their support, help, and assistance were prompt and exemplary. 
Overall a great learning experience and an excellent program for any professional or student who aspires to use Data Analytics skills to their existing domain knowledge and advance in their respective domains.   

Completing the Applied Data Science Program was an invaluable experience. The program's 12-week structure, encompassing foundational courses, rigorous core curriculum with live sessions by MIT experts, and a culminating capstone project, offered a well-rounded exploration of machine learning and deep learning. The lectures were thought-provoking and enriched my understanding of these domains.
The program's emphasis on practical applications and problem solving greatly enhanced my skills in data analysis and interpretation. While the mentoring sessions provided guidance, a more interactive approach in these sessions, especially in the context of machine learning and deep learning concepts, would have been a welcome addition. Nonetheless, the program's overall impact on my proficiency in these areas is undeniable, and I'm grateful for the learning journey it provided.

 Enrolling in the MIT Applied Data Science program with Great Learning was a pivotal decision. The comprehensive curriculum, supportive mentors, and practical approach exceeded my expectations. This program equipped me with the skills and confidence to excel in the field. My journey has been nothing short of remarkable, and I'm excited for the opportunities and growth it has unlocked for me. 

Great course, this course is highly recommendable, gives you the knowledge you need to powerful your career, provides you with the technical documentation, enable you with practical experience, and leverages your analytics skills, all of this turn this course into the best option when Data Science is the target.

The course covers a comprehensive number of topics which quickly bring you up to speed and teach you the skills to understand and delve deeper into the world of data science. The teaching is delivered in a variety of ways with a mix of videos, live lectures and tutorials. I undertook this course whilst working full-time as manager of a team of analysts in the midst of developing a new automation solution for our company which definitely increased the pressure, however the support from staff such as my program manager monideepa was excellent and helped me juggle and deliver for both priorities.  I personally preferred the recorded learning sessions more than the love lectures as I was able to complete them at my own pace and review the content multiple times for clarity as needed, the live lectures whilst excellently delivered by the MIT teaching staff, reminded me of my time at university in that we would often deviate from the prepared lecture and go down rabbit holes based on questions raised by fellow students which whilst informative for some of the more complicated aspects of some topics I would probably have preferred the majority of the content to be prerecorded with perhaps one live lecture a week. The tutorials were fantastic and really helped flesh out the weeks learning ahead of the courses exam or project due date. The projects were time-consuming but a lot of fun and having the option of either a full code or low code method was massively beneficial for someone like me who, whilst picking up python quickly (and loving it), would have been intimidated and a little out of my depth completing the full code methods. All in all I think the course is excellent and is a fantastic way to get a broad understanding of key data science practises and processes whilst upskilling quickly. Ultimately leaving you at the end in a strong position to delve deeper into any of the subjects as well as go on and integrate the new found knowledge into existing roles &/or the experience to take on new ones. Highly recommended.
