Eligibility Requirements
Although there are no defined pre-requisites for taking up
certification training, it is important to brush up on a few
skills like Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and
Statistics (basics).
To become a data scientist, having a basic hands-on
knowledge of statistics is necessary. There is a lot
of debate doing the rounds in data science circles regarding
statistics being outdated and stodgy. However, statistical modeling is an
important part of the job profile of a data scientist. Thus, candidates need to
possess a basic knowledge of stats, so that they can apply this logic in R or
other languages.
Computer Science fundamentals knowledge is essential for taking up any
training. As is widely known, Data Scientists need to write code, for the
simple reason that if one cant use R or similar languages, they cannot work
on real world data. One need not be an expert in coding but basic
knowledge is always helpful.

Preferred Educational
Qualifications
The debate regarding the best qualification in order to
learn Data Science is still pretty much on. A few
experts claiming that a Bachelors degree with good
practical skills can do the trick, while others believe a
Masters degree or a PhD is needed to prove your skills
in this field.
However, as aptly mentioned in Data Science: A Introduction/ A Mash-up of
Disciplines, this field is a mash-up of several disciplines like Math, Science,
Advanced Computing, Visualization, Data Engineering, Hacker Mindset, and
Domain expertise. It's therefore difficult to single out a particular field which
can act as a pre-requisite for learning data science.
In general, one will find a minimum of 80% of the data scientists with a
Masters degree and about 40% having a PhD qualification. The most common
fields of study are Mathematics and Statistics, Economics, Computer Science,
and Engineering, amongst others.
Though a few institutes are planning to launch a Bachelors degree programs
which will be in line with the Computer Science programs, training is
generally provided at the Masters degree level. Apart from these programs,
a number of institutes offer certification training in online, live-virtual
classroom, and classroom learning modes, to facilitate students across
the globe.
