FAQ

Our catalogue is organised into four families:

• the Mastère Modern Data Engineer (700h): our most complete programme, covering the full data lifecycle from design to industrialisation.
• Bootcamps (310 to 320h) to master a full role: Data Analyst and Data & AI Project Manager.
• Short courses (50 to 200h) to specialise on a specific topic: MLOps, Generative AI.
• Microsoft certification preparation (10 to 24h): AZ-900, DP-900, PL-300, DP-700, AI-102.

Every course can be taken either part-time (12h per week) or intensively (36h per week), depending on the pace you choose at enrolment.

We also offer custom Data/AI training for your corporate teams.

The difference comes down to length, depth and what you leave with:

• Bootcamps (310 to 320h over 26 to 27 weeks part-time, 9 weeks intensive) are complete professional pathways: they cover a role end to end and are built on blocks from the Mastère Modern Data Engineer, which carry over if you later decide to go further. You leave with a portfolio of capstone projects.
• Short courses (50 to 200h, 4 to 17 weeks part-time) target one specific skill — MLOps, Generative AI — and focus on hands-on practice.

In both cases: live sessions taught by Tech Leads still in role (2 per week part-time, 3 per week intensive), cohorts of 15 learners maximum, and a completion certificate issued by DataScientist.fr.

Yes.

• At the end of each course, a completion certificate is issued by DataScientist.fr. It attests to your participation and the projects you completed, and can be shared on LinkedIn in one click.
• Our Microsoft certification tracks (AZ-900, DP-900, PL-300, DP-700, AI-102) also prepare you for the official Microsoft exam, whose certification is issued by Microsoft.

DataScientist.fr is a Qualiopi-certified training organisation for training activities.

Each program is designed to make you job-ready:

• Mastery of key languages and tools (Python, SQL, Docker, Spark, Power BI, etc.).
• Deep understanding of Data and AI roles.
• Delivery of concrete projects close to real business cases.
• Development of your technical autonomy and ability to collaborate with tech and business teams.

Prerequisites depend on the course you choose:

• Mastère Modern Data Engineer: a Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent.
• Data Analyst Bootcamp: no specific degree required. An associate-level education or equivalent professional experience, in any field, plus comfort with a spreadsheet. SQL basics are a plus, not a condition.
• Data & AI Project Manager Bootcamp: a Bachelor's level or equivalent is recommended. Prior experience in project management, IT or data is a plus.
• Short courses and certification preparation: ranging from no prerequisites at all (AZ-900, DP-900) to solid Python skills (MLOps, Generative AI, AI-102).

An orientation interview is always offered to validate together that the path is a good fit.
