Prerequisites

Python for data science

Recommended skills prior to taking this course

You have to do hands-on lab for this course. The tool that you use for hands-on is called Jupyter and it is one of the most popular tools used by data scientists. If you are not familiar with Jupyter, I would recommend that you take our free Data Science Hands-on with Open Source Tools.
This hands-on lab requires that you have working knowledge of Python programming language as it applies to data analytics. If you don't feel you have sufficient skill in Data Analysis with Python, I recommend you take Data Analysis with Python courses.
