This six-course Professional Certificate from IBM is an excellent base for those interested in a career in data engineering. Through these data engineering courses, you will learn the core principles and get to practice your new skills with hands-on labs. You will learn about the data engineering ecosystem, data integration pipelines, data repositories, Business Intelligence and Reporting tools. You will understand Data repositories, such as relational and non-relational databases, data warehouses, data marts, data lakes, and big data stores, as well as how to store and process this data.

The certificate starts with an introductory course, then progresses through how Python is used by Data Scientists, in Artificial Intelligence and Development, and gives you the opportunity to create a Python project to put these skills into practice. The certificate then covers relational databases and SQL.

This Professional Certificate does not require any prior programming or data science skills. These online learning tools will provide you with practical skills and experience in collating data from data sources for factual analysis and providing organizations with the basis for data-driven decision making.
