Hello, Mariam, Thank you for taking your time to share you experience. Did you say you have to meet with you group members physically for the assignments? Cant it be via zoom or google meet especially of you are planning to do the course 100% online?
Hello Stephen, thank you so much for watching the video. For my cohort, weekly in-person meetings at a coworking space were mandatory, but ALX has changed this model. All meetings can now be done virtually now.
@@mariamadebola Thank you for your response. I recently enrolled for Data Analytics waiting for commencement of the course in two months time. I am planning to graduate to Data Science after finishing up with Data analytics. Can I however secure a remote job with only Data analytics skills?
Absolutely, data analysis skills are enough to get you a job - just ensure to build projects to showcase your skills. You might find it helpful to watch my latest video, where I share how I secured a remote data analyst position with a UK startup while living in Nigeria.
alx program is interesting, well organize and challenging. their software engineering program is 10hr per day commitment. thanks for the update. thanks for the update ma!
Hello Mariam, Thanks for the information, but i would like to understand the tools they are using in data science program, like what programming language they teach, what types programming environment they use. Also what SQL server they use like (Microsoft, MySQL , Postgresql or ?)
Please visit ALX Africa data science page to check a detailed content of the course. But we learned Python as the programming language, used Jupyter notebook and MySQL for sql server
Hi Roheemat, from what I know, they organize their programs in batches/cohorts. You can find more information on this website; www.alxafrica.com/programme/data-science/
@@mariamadebola noted, we only have about 2 weeks left before we can specialize, i'm really passionate about data and i'm learning alot from your videos
Hello I have few questions about this program first does it really make you job ready?? .and is there job opportunities for data scientist remotely thank you
Hello Wahab, if you devote the 35-40 hours per week that the course requires, I honestly believe the content is enough to help you secure a data role. And yes, you can find remote data science roles through LinkedIn.
I'm curious why you specifically mentioned research skills. To answer your question, I did have prior knowledge, and I currently work as a data analyst in a tech startup.
@@mariamadebola inspiring! ..I'm currently working as a sonographer and my station isn't so busy and I'm trying to find something to do remotely after working hours. Back to your answer, I'm talking before actually became a DATA ANALYST . Thank you
Thank you for replying back! I had no prior experience before I got the data analyst role. I was initially working on a project for a non-profit organization here in Nigeria and I struggled in obtaining data to do the project. This challenge sparked my interest in data analytics, ultimately leading me to pursue it as a career - @ashnunoo3149 You can watch how I transitioned from a non-profit into a data role here; ua-cam.com/video/J6o5OAqCASA/v-deo.htmlsi=wCtE9HOmiDN0bSYL
@@mariamadebola thank you, i will switch to data science as well, any tips or links to jobhunt the remote roles? there's a video you shared, i wanted to comment but got distracted, I'm not winning particularly with LinkedIn
One of the best ways is to showcase your projects or share your learning on LinkedIn and Twitter. It's never too late to begin, and you can start with small steps this week. Another valuable step is to join tech communities where you can stay updated on job opportunities shared within the community.@@JosephCoza
Hi Mariam, i just got admitted into one of the tech course in ALX . Pls is the class virtual ? and are we gonna be having a tutor teaching @every class?
Hi Emmanuel - it might be a good idea to follow ALX Africa's different social media platforms. That way, you’ll be in the loop when there are sponsors for the program, which could give you access for free or at a reduced cost.
Unfortunately, this particular course is no longer free. However, ALX offers other free courses and you can also pay for their paid courses in instalments. Check them out here: www.alxafrica.com/programmes/
It equips you with in-demand skills and career resources, how you apply these skills and leverage the support provided is totally up to you. It doesn’t guarantee a job but increases your chances of getting one.

Hi, amazing content.... I'm a new student of DS at Alx, you mentioned whatsapp groups, how do we join those?
Thanks so much for watching!
I'm not sure how I can get you on the groups, do you mind sending me a DM on IG?
@@mariamadebola sure, please what is your Instagram handle?
❤
Thank you for watching.
Hi mariam
Is Alx admission in batches or I can start anytime.
Hi Roheemat, from what I know, they organize their programs in batches/cohorts. You can find more information on this website; www.alxafrica.com/programme/data-science/
Is it possible to change course after the professional foundation program?
Yes, I changed from data analytics to data science after the foundation course.
Did you have to go through professional foundations again after switching to Data science?
Nope, I didn't. Are you currently an ALX student?
@@mariamadebola yes please, i am currently doing my week 7 of the foundations program.
@@akatongokawamundila9039 I misunderstood your question, apologies. We did a 3-months foundation course before moving to core technical content.

Please did you have a prior knowledge of data analysis (actual skills not research) before you started the course?
I'm curious why you specifically mentioned research skills.
To answer your question, I did have prior knowledge, and I currently work as a data analyst in a tech startup.

@@mariamadebola alright it's clear now
Please ma the 10hours every week is it,as a 9_5worker can I do it at my convenience as long as I complete the 10hours.
hi so with data science i will be also eligible for data analyst roles?
Yup, learning data science skills gives you more leverage to apply for data analytics and data science roles.
