Extract, Transform, and Load Data (Coursera)

Offered by CertNexus,
Extract, Transform, and Load Data (Coursera)

This course is designed for business and data professional seeking to learn the first technical phase of the data science process known as Extract, Transform and Load or ETL. Learners will be taught how to collect data from multiple sources so it is available to be transformed and cleaned and then will dive into collected data sets to prepare and clean data so that it can later be loaded into its ultimate destination

In the conclusion of the course learners will load data into its ultimate destination so that it can be analyzed and modeled.
The typical student in this course will have experience working with data and aptitude with computer programming.

Course 2 of 5 in the CertNexus Certified Data Science Practitioner Professional Certificate.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Extract Data
The first truly hands-on technical phase of the data science process is actually a combination of related tasks known as extract, transform, and load (ETL). This is where you, the data science practitioner, start to mold and shape the data so that it can be as useful as possible for the later steps in the data science process. In this course, you'll go through each ETL task in order, starting with "E" (extract).

WEEK 2
Transform Data
The next step in the ETL process is transformation. You'll spend this next module adjusting your data so that it's in a more useful state.

WEEK 3
Load Data
The last step in the ETL process is loading. In this module, you'll take the data you transformed and put it into a destination format and location, where it will be ready for you to work on as the project progresses.

WEEK 4
Apply What You've Learned
You'll work on a project in which you'll apply your knowledge of the material in this course to a practical scenario.

Statistics & Data Analysis Data Science

Process mining is the missing link between model-based process analysis and data-oriented analysis techniques. Through concrete data sets and easy to use software the course provides data science knowledge that can be applied directly to analyze and improve processes in a variety of domains. Data science is the profession of the future, because organizations that are unable to use (big) data in a smart way will not survive. It is not sufficient to focus on data storage and data analysis. The data scientist also needs to relate data to process analysis.
