Pricing

We understand that every organization has unique needs and budgets. That's why our pricing structure is primarily influenced by the format of the lecture. Below, you'll find an overview of our pricing model:

  • Internal Customer Learning System: If the lecture is deployed on your organization's internal learning system, the pricing is based on the number of students. The cost starts at 110 Euros per person for one day of learning content.

  • Live Online Sessions (e.g., Zoom or MS Teams): For live online sessions, the price is based on the session itself. The cost starts at 3,700 Euros per day of content. Please note that content customizations may increase the price. In a live session, the maximum number of participants is 20 if voice interaction is allowed, and 60 if only textual interaction is permitted.

  • In-House, In-Person Trainings: For in-house, in-person trainings, there is an additional charge for travel and accommodation costs. These costs will be calculated based on the specific location and duration of the training.

We strive to provide the highest quality data science education while offering flexible pricing options to accommodate your organization's needs. If you have any questions or would like to discuss a custom pricing arrangement, please feel free to reach out to us.

Sample video lectures

We invite you to explore our selection of video lectures, each of which exemplifies the educational materials we offer.

This lecture is from our Level 1: Be Aware of Data Science course. It's designed for anyone intrigued by the vast world of data science, with no prerequisites required. This excerpt provides a compelling case for the importance of data-driven insights, shedding light on the limitations and biases of human judgment.

This is excerpt from our Level 2: Associate of Data Science course. Within this level, we aim to equip participants to become the crucial link between the technology (i.e. data science) and the domain where it is supposed to create an impact. This lecture is about various techniques on how we can find valuable ideas for data science use cases.

This lecture is a part of our Level 3: Baseline Data Science course. Within this level, hands-on data science in Python starts. Participants are thoroughly introduced to industry-standard libraries such as pandas, seaborn and scikit-learn.  Upon graduation, participants will be capable of crafting prototype data science solutions for diverse datasets independently.

Robert Barcik

HI! My name is Robert, and I have always had two personalities - data scientist and instructor. As a data scientist, I spent five years in Swedish academia and five years within Austrian banking groups. During these years, I understood that having an intuitive and authentic understanding of the field counts the most to deliver worthwhile projects. As for my instructor persona, you can hear my voice on numerous platforms that helped thousands of students grow into the topics of data science, research, business, and math.

My past projects include several universities, MBA programs, localization of KhanAcademy, and even custom-tailored corporate training. Nowadays, I hope to liberate and democratize the knowledge of the fields I love as much as possible! I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge and passion with you the same way I did with hundreds of business professionals and data scientists that I trained.

Patrik Zatko

Hi! I am Patrik, and I am a schooled mathematician and quant. During my studies in Vienna, I fell in love with data science. I hence decided to dedicate seven years to delivering data-driven projects in 8 countries within one of the largest banking groups of Central Europe. I focus on advanced modelings, such as visual recognition, natural language processing, or causal modeling. I dedicate my time nowadays to opening the doors for anyone interested in growing into these fields, as I did to dozens of professional data scientists that I trained.

Jana Gecelovska

Hi there! My name is Jane, and I majored in environmental studies. While finishing my diploma, I realized how crucial it is to use data to tackle numerous ecological questions. I hence continued my growth into the field as a self-learner. In the past, I worked as a data analyst within e-commerce and I genuinely believe that anyone can undertake such a career change. My passion is to help other self-starters grow into the topic and change their careers, just like I did. I am one of the co-authors of Authentic Data Science and currently work as a freelance data science trainer with a particular interest in creating Python practice materials that helped hundreds of professionals change their careers to data analysts and data scientists.
