Instant Feedback
Submit your code and KATE provides feedback instantly, helping you understand how to develop your skills and improve your code quality.
Real Life Applications
Our projects apply skills to real-world situations, simulating a data science environment in a range of sectors from finance to media.
Adaptive Learning
The more work you submit to KATE, the more we understand your learning needs and can help you identify key skills to practice and develop.
Git-powered
You submit code to K.A.T.E.® using GIT. This means K.A.T.E.® exploits version control and you receive feedback via continuous integration. This allows you to use your own toolchain and editors such as a notebook, pycharm or vscode as well enable team collaboration.
Relevant Metrics
KATE reports back to you with benchmarks and diagnostics. This includes software metrics and machine learning metrics to make sure your code is up to scratch.
Fully Personalised
K.A.T.E.® provides structured, expert-led data science and coding projects, enabling you to upskill, reskill and onboard team members quickly and effectively.
Become more efficient and productive by eliminating time spent on technical assessment and marking. K.A.T.E.® automatically evaluates each individual’s capabilities aligned with industry software development practices and Machine Learning methodologies.
K.A.T.E.® allows you to make quicker, more informed hiring decisions. Leveraging AI technology, K.A.T.E.® provides an adaptive assessment platform to optimise your recruiting process and helps you to find and retain the best talent.
