Introductory to intermediate data science programming course for those who want to advance their careers in data science
This intermediate level course is designed to equip learners with practical skills and knowledge to advance their careers in data science. It covers essential topics data cleaning, data manipulation, regression, classification, visualization, analysis, and communication. Learners will achieve intermediate competency in Python, understand frameworks and database design, and grasp basic design patterns, all while honing their debugging skills in Jupyter Notebooks.
Upon completing this course, learners will master sorting and search algorithms, array manipulation, and establishing SQL connections for executing simple queries. They will achieve intermediate competency in Python, understand how frameworks operate, and gain a solid grasp of database design and management. Students will also learn and apply basic design patterns, enhance their debugging skills in Jupyter Notebooks, and complete large, end-to-end data science projects independently.

Apply NowMorning Standup
Daily standup meetings are conducted to kick off the day, Learners share progress since last session, discuss roadblocks, and brainstorm solutions, fostering support and goal clarity. Facilitated by program managers, these meetings ensure everyone shares updates, mirroring industry practices.
Live Coding Sessions
As part of the group session, a learner will tackle a coding problem, sharing their thought process to the group, inviting discussion and alternative solutions.
Collaborative Coding Workshop
Students collaborate in small groups on unique timed coding challenges. Results are shared and then to reinforce their grasp of terminology and potential interview questions, a quick ‘Skills Check’ quiz is presented.
Weekly Technical Presentation
Explore industry-relevant technical subjects that are not typically addressed in projects. Activities range from individual presentations to group work completing “new technology canvas” worksheets followed by brief presentations.
Engineering Case Studies
A case study is selected in advance that aligns with the program’s curriculum, learning objectives, and student expertise levels, ensuring a variety of topics. Following this, we engage in reading, analyzing, and discussing business challenges and data privacy issues, etc. fostering collaboration and diverse viewpoints.
Pair Programming Pods
A collaborative workspace where two learners work together on the same project. Partners can readily share ideas, solve problems, and learn from each other’s coding skills.
Stop Boring Online Courses!
All tracks use project-based learning, meaning you will spend most of your time coding. Manage your work and assignments in our proprietary learning platform that’s designed to reflect the working life of an engineer.
Expect to be assigned projects, coding exercises, and peer code reviews. Our platform includes:

Outstanding
Learning Community!
Joining Qwasar is about joining a learning community. Learning on your own is hard, watching online videos can be boring, and sharing your learning journey (and certainly lots of jokes) with others is important.
Our platform and Discord chat, as well as our program meetings, are all about building and participating in the community.
When you join our programs, you have access to:

Course Costs and Tuition
Course costs are below and payment is due upfront
Costs include all assignments and course materials: projects, coding exercises, project resources, Discord channel access.
No additional fees.
Career Progression and Support
For intensive bootcamp learners, we provide career preparation and support. Qwasar has created a career support track and community called Technical Interview Preparation Program (TIPP), which students join in Season 2. This includes:
Admissions requires an application, an interview, and completion of the enrollment form with payment.
Silicon Valley Standards
We train to standards set by Silicon Valley for full stack developers. This means the level is much higher than that of bootcamps, and higher than that of CS or data science degrees. Your specialty is being an elite developer at a world-renown level.
Technical Skills & Knowledge
Thanks to the depth and breadth of our program curriculum, you acquire a level of technical skills and knowledge that learners in other programs or bootcamps simply never acquire.
Strong Python Skills
The vast majority of bootcamps don’t cover data structures or algorithms. CS degrees don’t cover hands-on application of theory or actually developing software architecture. We cover both and your strong back-end skills and experience with databases, data structures, and algorithms will set you apart from other candidates.
Depth of Portfolio
Learners develop a technical portfolio that has depth and shows the extent of their technical skills and ability to handle databases, deployments, and development. Neither bootcamps nor CS degrees offer this.
