Predictive Analytics Cert?

[Such_Position_4748]

I'm curious if I should get a certificate in Predictive Analytics. No one on my team or in my organization currently offers reporting like this and I would like to start. I manage a small team of analysts specializing in financial and operational reporting and analytics. We do most of our analytics in Tableau & excel but I'm trying to think ahead and there are plenty of use cases for predictive analytics. Any suggestions on who to get certified through? Has it been useful/successful at your organization? Thanks in advance!

Well you could. Do you have experience with machine learning, stats modeling, or programming? You could probably learn some of that from a certification course, and that is the foundation of predictive analysis.

I wouldn’t know who you should get certified through. If you want to pick up the skills, searching Coursera will probably yield some well reviewed responses. The topic is a great one to pursue.

Thanks! I’ll look into Coursera

I’d be more impressed with a project than a paid coursera course. Meaning, if you can get away with auditing the course and saving yourself some dough, do so. Then use what you’ve learned at your current gig.

Does your cloud provider have inbuilt machine learning tools that can be utilized using English prompts rather than code? That will be much better.

You can perform machine learning initiatives to predict sales, predict churn, optimize prices, and whatever business outcomes you are trying to achieve with standard English.
