As we close out the fiscal year, the Professional Learning team launched four new Data Science for Investment Professionals courses that take learners through structured learning modules and deliver practical, relevant industry skills.
The short courses are held asynchronously, meaning learners can complete the courses at their own pace, rather than convening with a live instructor at a set time. Hosted on our existing learning platform, Benchprep, the courses are composed of videos, readings, assessments, and discussion prompts for interacting with other learners on a discussion board. Courses also include interactive labs that offer learners an opportunity to see demos of and practice coding in Python and R. The course integrates both technical and soft skills to provide learners with the wide range of skills they need on the topic of data science.
The beginner-level courses are appropriate for a wide range of professionals including analysts, portfolio managers, relationship managers, or those who aspire to be in these roles. They are particularly well suited for those who need to serve in a translator role between their investment colleagues and data science teams.
The four courses included in the series are
- Data and Statistics Foundation for Investment Professionals
- Statistics for Machine Learning for Investment Professionals
- Machine Learning for Investment Professionals
- Natural Language Processing for Investment Professionals
Although individual course purchases are available (at a rate of $309 for members and $339 for non-members) the courses are designed to be taken in succession, with each one building on the knowledge gained from the previous courses.
Each successfully completed course will earn the learner a certificate of completion.
