Recommended Level 2 Certification Process
- Multiparadigm Data Science skills are required in order to use your knowledge to solve a practical problem. Helpful learning resources include the free interactive course, Wolfram Data Science Boot Camp and other data science–related courses found in the Wolfram U catalog.
- Identify the dataset you want to work with from the Wolfram Data Repository or use your own data.
- Create your independent project notebook.
- Consult the grading rubric to ensure your project meets certification standards.
-
Pay the $395 certification fee and submit your project notebook. (Education customers pay $195; students pay $95.)
This certification fee is included with boot camp full registration.
Submitting Your Project
Once your project notebook is complete, pay the certification fee and follow instructions to upload your file(s). All projects are scored according to the grading rubric. A project score of 75 or greater will earn Level 2 certification in Multiparadigm Data Science. You will be notified about your certification status within three weeks of your submission. Successful applicants will receive a certificate suitable for printing, and every applicant receives project feedback that includes an explanation of their score. Applicants who receive scores under 75 may work to improve their projects and can apply again for Level 2 certification by submitting revised projects with the certification fee.
