Data Analytics Course Boston

If you want to become a Data Analyst, you should know this is not quite the same thing as becoming a Data Scientist, which is generally a more senior position involving greater technical knowledge and data science expertise. In fact, Data Analyst positions, and data analysis work, are often considered more entry-level in nature.

The Data Science course, on the other hand, can be considered more of an intermediate-level data science course, as it is more technically demanding, diving further into prescriptive and predictive analytics, machine learning, and programming languages.
