Need your thoughts !

Dear DSC members

Hope you're doing good

I'm new member of Data Science Central and brand new to Data Science field. I live in Paris Area, France.

I have a 12 years in IT data projects : ERP, BI, CRM & MDM. I did build, design, testing, project management, business analysis and architecture. Currently, I'm a master data architect.

I want to become a Data Scientist.

To do so, I'm thinking to get a certification, hopefully not costly. My target is to be operational by the end of 2015.

I found 2 that suits my case : Udacity and Coursera

I'm in doubt which one will help ? Shall I take both ? Or May be shall I take the DSC Apprenticeship.

I'm expecting also, after a couple of months of practive, to participate to competitions.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you for your support !

With Gratitude

Amine

I've tried Coursera - Johns Hopkins and it's good.

I will start the course "Data Analysis and Statistical Inference" tomorrow, from Coursera. It is a certificate course and it seems to me a good start point. If you want to know more, the link is the follow:

Best regards.
