Caltech Data Analytics Bootcamp

The demand for data analytics-proficient professionals has increased dramatically across all fields, including engineering, science, technology, and business. As an analyst, you must be adept in critical thinking, storytelling, and deep technical skills to bring value to problem-solving situations. To address the lack of available, in-depth learning options for busy professionals, we have launched a comprehensive Caltech Data Analytics Bootcamp Certificate Program.

Program Overview

The Caltech Data Analytics Bootcamp, powered by Simplilearn, helps you keep your job while learning the skills you need to grow your career as a data analyst—all in six months part-time.

With Simplilearn, which also operates the Caltech Cybersecurity Bootcamp, we have developed a unique and foundational teaching approach that enables you to thrive. You will learn from an up-to-date curriculum and expert instructors who teach with the latest technologies.

Through this bootcamp, you will earn a Caltech Certificate in Data Analytics.  You will also be prepared to earn the most in-demand industry certifications for analytics from Tableau and AWS. Students can choose to take certification exams during or directly after the program.

Recently, Simplilearn acquired Fullstack Academy, which operated this bootcamp during 2020–2022.

Learning Objectives

Simplilearn brings its learning method, reputation, and community to the Caltech Data Analytics Bootcamp to make visualization, SQL, and Python training more accessible. There are no prerequisites for this open-enrollment program. But, make no mistake; this is a rigorous 26-week, live-remote program. Learn part-time on weeknights and Saturdays.

You will learn how to:

• Construct well-formed spreadsheets, workbooks, and functions in Excel, including advanced formulas for analysis and data management
• Develop clear, productive data models and statistical models 
• Apply Structured Query Language (SQL) proficiently for data manipulation
• Use fundamental aspects of Python for scripting and communicating analytical methods
• Use Tableau for advanced data visualization and analysis of complex data sets from multiple sources
• Incorporate AWS-driven services, data flows, databases, visualizations, and analytics 
• Set up and run the vital steps of problem-solving projects, including planning, data collection, analysis, and synthesizing insights 
• Craft and tell data-driven stories; build and interpret charts, and share your key insights (the elusive "so-what?")

Who Should Attend

This program is ideal for entry-level analysts and professionals seeking to start a career as a data analyst. Technologists, business and financial analysts, researchers, consultants, engineers, and spreadsheet jockeys with 1–5 years of experience in data collection, analysis, and reporting are welcome and may find the depth of learning in SQL, Tableau, and AWS most useful. In addition, the Caltech Data Analytics Bootcamp is perfect for small teams and groups who need to build a comprehensive and uniform set of skills and capabilities.
