These answers might help! ## I don't have any technical background, can I join the course? The Data science & AI course requires some basic knowledge of programming and mathematics. How much programming do I need to know? Well, you must be comfortable with data types & variables, conditions, loops, functions and data structures like arrays and dictionaries (also called hashes in some programming languages). If you know those topics in other languages than Python (like Ruby, JavaScript, C++, etc.), you have the right programming prerequisites! How much mathematics do I need to know? In order to join our Data Science course, you also need a minimum level in Mathematics and to be familiar with concepts covered in high school's scientific section. We need you to be comfortable with functions, their derivatives & systems of linear equations. To get up to speed, some additional preparation work will be given to you before the bootcamp start to get a refresh of all these concepts as well as more advanced knowledge on linear algebra and statistics. ## Are there other financing options available, like deferred tuition, student loans or ISA? Some cities offer specific financing options with local financial partners, like deferred tuition plans, student loans with interesting conditions or Income Share Agreements (ISA). Also feel free to reach out to the local admission manager to have more details about their local financing options. ## What does a data scientist do? Data scientists are experts adept at extracting valuable insights from large datasets to aid organizations in solving complex problems, including those encountered in AI projects. They collaborate closely with business stakeholders to pinpoint opportunities for growth and areas needing improvement. Their role involves selecting and refining the appropriate datasets, and utilizing machine learning, statistical modeling, and artificial intelligence to analyze them and identify patterns and trends. In AI projects, they develop intelligent algorithms and predictive models, enhancing the business with data-driven strategies and automated solutions. Data scientists convey their findings clearly to other team members, offering data-backed recommendations to guide organizational strategies and decisions. ## What language is the bootcamp taught in? The bootcamp is taught in English. All the challenges' instructions and written documentation are in English, so all students must have a good level and understanding or written English, even in cities where lectures are given in another language. ## What will I be able to do at the end of the Data Science & AI bootcamp? At the end of the bootcamp, you'll be ready to take on roles in Data Science and AI projects. You'll know how to turn data into actionable insights and manage machine & deep learning models from start to finish using the best tools available. Your next steps could be: \- Joining a team as a data scientist, data analyst, or data engineer. \- Freelancing on data science and AI projects. \- Launching a startup with a focus on data science and AI.
