MIT IDSS AI & Data Science Program

Great Learning might be damn expensive, it might be damn remote, but let me tell you, every damn piece of information you're gonna get is top-notch.The quality of the professors' expertise will help you grow professionally by tackling complex concepts and showing you how to solve typical problems you'll face within data sets. However, if you're afraid of a change in your salary and professional growth, if you're intimidated by technology, if you're not a creative problem solver, if you're not willing to continuously learn, and if it's not your passion... then Great Learning might not be the right choice for you as it would be a waste of money.On the other hand, if you're willing to put in the effort required to learn a challenging career, go ahead and join the community.

After this course, I am confident about the job market because I know new skills that are required in the market, before and after I am different 100%, methodology, and teacher made me feel trust and I learn new things each week during the course, projects were a big effort to me

I want to say the Great learning (MIT IDSS) Data Science and Machine learning (DS & ML) program is a special one of a kind. The seasoned MIT professors who taught the concepts and the mentors who handled the mentoring session did an exception job of explaining how to think, approach and solve real world problems with DS & ML techniques. My program manager, Shweta was really supportive. I must say, it's the best training I have had in the last 10 years and it is worth more than its fee. It was rigorous (like the typical on-campus MIT classes) and require the serious commitment of any professional who is passionate about growing their capacity in this field. I appreciate the program and encourage any one interested in DSML to apply.

I recently completed the Data Science and Machine Learning course, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. Throughout the course, I learned Python programming and various modeling techniques. The support I received was excellent, and I particularly appreciated the instructor's approach. Their expertise and guidance were invaluable in helping me grasp complex concepts. The course was also well-organized, with a clear structure that allowed for effective learning. Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in diving into the world of data science and machine learning.

The course was quite hollistic and I feel like I got a very good understanding of ML technologies for an intro course. Great Learning's support was good and the faculty was very well prepared. I'm very satisfied with the course overall.

It’s a very professional team of people. Teachers are very eloquent in teaching and making complicated things look simpler. In addition to classes, the material provided is very useful and informative. They are willing to solve any problem, especially our Program Manager, Poonam Gheedia who was really attentive to possible difficulties that one might have.

My overall learning experience was wonderful! The program I attended was the Data Science and Machine Learning: Making Data-Driven Decisions program. From this program I was able to learn how to make sense of unstructured data and the hands on process in creating models with different functions. What makes this course amazing is the topics covered, the mentoring sessions, and the case studies offered. With unbelievably talented instructors and advisors to help you along the way, the course helps you learn and upskill in a personal and connected manner.

My experience with Great Learning was incredible. I was kind of skeptical when I started a fully online program, thinking that I may not get the help that I need. Great Learning, and specially my group mentor/advisorMs. Glory, proved me otherwise. I received all the help needed, and more from them. The lessons were spot on, with both video and written material, which helped quite a lot.Very well structured and organized.Loved it in general, no complaints.

This is by far the best learning experience I have had in years. I took my time to research all the faculty and to my greatest amazement they were all professors at MIT and MIT IDSS, with a minimum 7 years as professors in the field of Data Science and relevant fields of Statistics and research. This contributed greatly on the quality of lectures delivered. Their session provided a clear perspective into some of the grey areas I had in Data Science and Machine learning. These professors were remarkable and clearly the epitome of knowledge in these topics. They gave extensive discussions with insights and followup reading materials with emphasis on real-world scenarios and how to apply them, there were also accompanied with a lot of hands on exercises.  My Program Manager Kiran Jhajhariya, you are simply the best!!! To all our Mentors at the Mentored Learning Sessions, Thanks for making this program a success for me, I couldn't have done it without you.  Thanks to MIT and Great Learning for this wonderful program: Data Science and Machine Learning: Making Data-Driven Decisions I am definitely coming back for Applied Data Science Program!!!

Well rounded program that covers academic teaching and hands on exercises to grow proficiency with Python and its various libraries applying the concepts of Data Science and Machine learning.  The program provided plenty of reference and practice material which enabled me to gain understanding and competence outside of just the instruction.  A thorough course with a lot of useful material!

Aastha Jain program manager assisted me in each and every step. Learning platform is good as well as the material that is provided. For me it was too much to cover in a given timeframe but for someone else it could be manageable.

Great Learning and MIT IDSS have collaborated to produce an excellent program. The Data Science and Machine Learning: Making Data-Driven Decisions program is the result of a collaboration between Great Learning and the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society. The program is exceptional. It is well organized and managed. Each cohort has a PM (Vineet Mishra for our group) who is there to help, whatever the question or issue. This is one part of a support system that is there to make sure the learners have the best chance for success. The program mentors (Nirupam Sharma for us)  provided detailed sessions explaining the background, theory and hands-on applications of various topics. Leading to the mentoring sessions the learners can review video lectures from the world class faculty at MIT and work through hands-on assignments.  The topics are wide-ranging and treated with a good balance of conceptual background, theory and applications. And, there were guest lectures, curated lists articles of interest in the industry, and more. I personally had a great experience. The program provided me with important and substantive content in areas that were familiar to me as well as several all together new concepts and topics. My hope is that this certification will tip the balance in favor of some hiring manager giving me a chance for that dream job and a meaningful career in data sciences and machine learning. I whole-heartedly recommend this program. Regardless of your background, if this is an area of interest then take a look at the program offering and consider it.  

The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Prior to the bootcamp I had no experience in any IT courses  but because everyone in the organization was so helpful, it made the class very delightful.Thank you for this great experience. 

I'm full working full time and was worried if I could take out the time. But, the program manager helped at multiple occasions to catch up with the coursework. Also, the other learners were very enthusiastic and overall this was a great experience. 

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. So much so that I look forward to returning and going through all the optional material. The course was deep and exposed us to the theory and practical applications in the real world. As always you will get out of it as much as you put into it. I feel ready to make smart decisions using data science! This was invaluable. 

This course covers a lot in Data Science and Machine Learning, such as unstructured data, regression, prediction, recommendation, deep learning and etc. Each section is taught by different instructor, and their style varies, I like some, but some could be boring. I like the practice case study which you can fill in the blank and learning while most of script is ready (it’s good for a short course like this), and I also like the quiz that it actually tests your concept by twisting the question instead of a sentence directly from the course. I wish the all sections provide more study case and samples, hands-on is always the easiest way to learn.The course manager is helpful, replying message in couple hours and responsive.

The Data Science and Machine Learning course was very much real world adapted and super interesting. The assessments were super fun and challenging, really made you think outside the box and perfectly emulated real world scenarios. The program managers were super helpful and very considerate to make sure each and every one performed to their potential. The course was extensive and covered a lot of ground starting from the foundations. I grew a lot of confidence in my skills after completing this course. 

I had an amazing  experience with Great Learning on facilitating the MIT IDSS Data Science and Machine Learning program. This program is well designed with 8 modules from basic principles to advanced levels. There are eight to eleven learning instruments available in each module so that the students with different strengths can have relatively flexible and suitable forward paths to strive for success. I started this program as a beginner, with basic coding background though good math and statistics knowledge. With the help of Pre Work module and Foundations of Data Science, I have got myself prepared well for the journey of the subsequent modules of Data Science. Although I was too busy on daily work, I’ve successfully completed all mandatory modules and gone through the tests and projects thanks to the great mentorship and detailed instructions/leaning instruments. 
In a word, I would like to thank Great Learning for leading me to the wonderful world of Data Science and Machine Learning. By any chance. I would like to recommend this program to my friends and colleagues who are interested in data science. Especially, I would like to express my highest appreciation to Sarah, the program manager, for her timely assistance in scheduling my assignments. 
Thanks again!Shawn Zhou

This is a great program! It met my expectations and I have learnt a lot! The Olympus platform is very user-friendly and the lecture videos very useful! I really loved the live mentored learning sessions where my questions arising from the lecture videos were answered and difficult areas covered and clarified! The quizes were helpful, and the projects were great! Not to mention Twinkle, my Program Manager, who was awesome! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in Data Science and Machine Learning!

I joined this program with zero coding experience. I was hand held with well structured videos and intermittent feedbacks to learn how to code and then dive deeply into the data science and machine learning world. I had to show commitment, taking the regular quiz assessment and project assignments. It was a great experience with support from my dedicated program manager Twinkle and mentor Mahesh. I recommend this for any one wishing to work with data in this age of massive data influx.
