Berlin, DE

Data Science Retreat (DSR) is the longest-running data science training provider in Europe. It offers an advanced level curriculum taught by experts from the industry who have excelled in Data Science and Machine Learning field and not in-house teachers. This ensures the curriculum is fresh and much deeper than when taught by teachers with no real world experience. Our students will be trained in topics that will be in the market in two years; placing them ahead of the curve. Not topics that target the immediate needs of companies now (which will be obsolete soon because the field moves very fast!). Advanced topics such as Deep Learning, Transfer Learning, NLP, Computer vision with pytorch and tensorflow, Reinforcement Learning, Models in production and practical aspects of data science are taught in depth which will better highlight the participants profile in the job market.3. By the end of the program participants will be skilled enough to develop an original data science product prototype all by their own which is the signature of our program. These projects make them unique in the market. Our graduates get associate level positions which pay a higher salary than an entry level or junior data scientist level position. Some of our trainees reached C level and VP level positions. Therefore the return on investment is higher compared to more basic trainings.
