Build capability to create and maintain key data infrastructure
Want to train new talent and reskill existing employees with one of the most in-demand technical skillsets? Develop key internal capabilities to raise the usability of critical datasets in your organisation. Cambridge Spark's Level 5 Data Engineer Apprenticeship equips learners with core technical and leadership skills.
In turn, learners are able to support business functions in creating and maintaining data analytics pipelines. They build the skillset to access data in their organisation and gain an understanding of the data engineering lifecycle, data modelling and more to help organisations maximise the value of their data.
Leaners will also have the opportunity to join guest talks on technical updates from leading technology providers like Google Cloud Platform and Databricks.
Enhance your team's forecasting abilities with advanced time series analysis
Whether it’s quarterly sales data, stock prices, automated inventory trading, or even weather data, time series data is all around us. And working with time series data is a crucial skillset for data practitioners. Ideal for those aiming to refine inventory forecasts, predict market trends, or understand user behaviour, this course offers a direct route to mastering sophisticated time series analysis techniques with Python.
Participants begin the course by learning the foundations, including preprocessing steps for time series data in Python and Pandas, and thinking about time series data as consisting of a trend component, a seasonal component, and observational noise. From there, they explore various core modelling and forecasting techniques they can leverage including ARMA, SARIMAX, Exponential smoothing, and the approach taken in the Python library, Prophet.
Through practical application, your team will master the intricacies of financial markets, supply chain dynamics, consumer behaviour, and product usage trends. This hands-on experience not only enhances strategic decision-making but also significantly contributes to your organisation's overall success.
