When I started looking for an AI/ML-related post-graduation program in the market, I was overwhelmed by the number of such courses available online. Then one day, I received a call from Great Learning teams who explained to me about the course syllabus and explained to me about the support system they provide while pursuing the course. Initially, I still wasn’t sure, so I had asked them to connect me to an Alumni from this program. Surprisingly, they proactively connected me to one such alumnus who was very helpful in answering all my doubts. Apart from this, the dual certification from Great lakes and Texas university looked lucrative to me.
The live sessions were very engaging. Apart from that, the course content which was released every week is very thorough with the topics. The mentors are very helpful. They also share important links related to the week’s content. Apart from this, GL also has support for resume updating, 1:1 mentoring sessions, and interview preparation. Industry speakers who also shared their experience in data science roles. These sessions are also recorded, which one can watch at their convenience. Mentors are knowledgeable and helpful in clearing doubts. They also ask questions and engage with everyone in the class to make the class interactive. They also are available on call and WhatsApp messages to clear any doubts apart from the class hours. They also share important links related to the course and also provide support if we are stuck anywhere during the project completion.
Also, the program managers are helpful in keeping up with the pace of the course. If we are lagging, they keep reminding us and helping us in getting back on track. Support tickets can be raised for any questions/help which are resolved within a day or two.
The grading system and class ranking board help in understanding our performance and keep us motivated to compete with other students in the course.
I can confidently apply for a data science role as I have experience working with vast datasets relating to varied domains. The projects which were part of the course have helped me to gain hands-on experience in real-time projects.
Apart from this, I now have become a multi-skilled professional who can work on any kind of project with end-to-end implementation expertise. I have become a valuable resource to the company.
I know there are a lot of courses online, but Great Learning is a wonderful place to start as they provide you a proper direction and course content so that over a span of 1 year, you can deep dive into the world of data science and become an expert in the domain of AIML.
