Context: I'm a complete noob trying to learn Python for Data Science and ML, and I just found out about Datacamp today. I see they are offering a discount on their subscription from $399 to $99 for the next 8 hours. But I'm always a bit skeptic about these timed offers.
So I wanted to know from you guys, is Datacamp a good place for a beginner like me to start? Is that price really a discount from the usual price they offer? Are there any better alternatives for me to learn?
Hey everyone! 👋
I’m planning to start a few DataCamp courses to upskill myself for a data analyst role in 2025 — mainly Python, SQL, and Power BI.
I noticed that DataCamp offers certifications (like the Data Analyst Certification), and I’m a bit confused about how they work.
Do these certifications come automatically after completing the courses, or are they separate exam-based certifications that we have to register for? Also, if they’re exam-based, do we need to pay anything extra besides the Premium subscription to take them?
I would also like to know whether the Premium subscription is overall worth it, as I can get it for GBP 135 (annually) right now due to the ongoing sale.
I’d really appreciate it if anyone who has already done a DataCamp certification could share how the process works and whether it’s worth doing compared to just finishing the career tracks.
Thanks in advance! 🙏
