Microsoft Data Science Program

The Microsoft Data Science Program is designed based on Microsoft Professional Program (MPP) in Data Science specifically for Qatar Government in collaboration with Qatar Digital Government Training Program and TASMU.

We are pleased to invite your organization to an exclusive government-specific Initiative by Ministry of Transport & Communication Qatar Digital Government.

11 Data Science Skills. 1.5 Million Jobs. Opportunities for data scientists—one of today‘s hottest jobs—are rapidly growing in response to the exponential amounts of data being captured and analysed. Companies hire data scientists to find insights and to solve meaningful business problems.

Built in collaboration with leading universities and employers, the Microsoft Professional Program Certificate in Data Science will develop the analytical and programming skills candidates need to take advantage of the 1.5 million career opportunities available now in data science.

Exclusive Program for Qatar GovernmentMicrosoft Qatar in collaboration with Qatar Digital Government Training Program and TASMU designed a unique and exclusive delivery for Microsoft Professional Program (MPP) in Data Science for Qatar Government. The program will help Qatar Government agencies to take the first step to address the 21st century skills gap

Our program combines the interactive self-paced MOOC titles with a significant portion of classroom delivery and in-depth remote support, enabling your learners to rapidly gain the skills they need:

• Use Microsoft Excel to explore data• Use Transact-SQL to query a relational database• Create data models and visualize data using Excel or Power BI• Apply statistical methods to data• Use R or Python to explore and transform data• Follow a data science methodology• Create and validate machine learning models with Azure Machine Learning• Write R or Python code to build machine learning models• Apply data science techniques to common scenarios• Implement a machine learning solution for a given data proble

What´s included?• Access to exclusive digital learning platform• Classroom training events with qualified Microsoft Certified Instructor(5 training events with 2.5-4 days of delivery each)• the attendees will receive certification of completion at the end of each module andthe final one after they finish the whole program• Official Microsoft certificate of completion for each learning title (9 in total)• Official Microsoft MPP capstone project• Official Microsoft Professional: Data Science credential• Dedicated remote email support• Learner discussion forums

Timeline & LogisticsOnce we have received your nominations, we will carefully review them and get back to you with a final registration confirmation as soon as possible. Learners that have been admitted access to the program will receive further information about the program timelines. The program is about to kick off at August 26th, 2019 and will finish by January 23rd, 2020

Delivery ApproachThe program is made up of three units and a final project. Each unit starts in a classroom and is lead by an instructor who will cover 90% of the content. Participants are expected to review the modules online which will help them for the module assessment. Each course finishes with completing the online assessment in the online course in order to receive an official certificate of completion which is mandatory in order to achieve the final MPP accreditation.

The Program will be completed through a Capstone project that features applied data problems that require students to synthesize their learnings and demonstrate their readiness to employ the skills they learned as part of the Microsoft Professional Program. After passing the capstone, the final Microsoft Professional Degree will be awarded.

Learn data science fundamentals, key data science tools, and widely-used programming

languages from industry and academic experts in this unique program created by Microsoft.

UNIT 2CORE DATA SCIENCE

5

Introduction to Python for Data ScienceLearn the basics of Python, including simple arithmetic operations, variables, and data structures. Explore Python functions and control flow, and create your own visualizations based on real data.

6

Essential Math for Machine Learning: Python EditionLearn the essential mathematical foundations for machine learning and artificial intelligence using Python. The course focuses on mathematical concepts that you’ll encounter in studies of machine learning. It is designed to fill the gaps for students who missed these key concepts as part of their formal education, or who need to refresh their memories after a long break from studying math.

7


UNIT 3APPLIED DATA SCIENCE

6

Data Science Research Methods: Python EditionGet hands-on experience with the science and research aspects of data science work, from setting up a proper data study to making valid claims and inferences from data experiments. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of the research process—from developing a good question to designing good data collection strategies to putting results in context. Although a data scientist may often play a key part in data analysis, the entire research process must work cohesively for valid insights to be gleaned.

8

Implementing Predictive Solutions with Spark in HDInsightLearn how to use Spark in Microsoft Azure HDInsight to create predictive analytics and machine learningsolutions. Find out how to cleanse and transform data, build machine learning. You will also learn how to implement predictive analytics solutions for big data using Apache Spark in Microsoft Azure HDInsight. See how to work with Scala or Python to cleanse and transform data and build machine learning models with Spark ML (the machine learning library in Spark).

10

Principles of Machine Learning: Python EditionGet hands-on experience building and deriving insights from machine learning models using Python and Azure Notebooks. In this data science course, you will be given clear explanations of machine learning theory combined with practical scenarios and hands-on experience building, validating, and deploying machine learning models.
