NEW Your employer pays for your degree: guide and template letter, in German Get the pack

Advertisement Paid placement by StackFuel. I wrote the text myself, the figures come from the provider and were checked as of 17.10.2026. What actually fits you is something I say independently of this, in the first consultation.

Data Scientist

Training for anyone who wants to move into a data job without studying for another three years. Five trainings that build on each other lead from BI analytics with SQL and Power BI through data analytics with Python to data science with machine learning, ending with a portfolio project for your applications.

Is it right for you

Who this programme is built for

Two questions decide an application: does the programme take you further, and will they let you in at all.

Who the programme suits

  • Career changers who want to move into data analysis or data science
  • Jobseekers in Germany looking for training funded by an education voucher
  • Professionals who work with data and want to learn it systematically

Entry requirements

  • No relevant work experience needed
  • Solid computer skills
  • Consultation before the start

Whether you meet the requirements is something I check with you before you apply. This is where most applications fail, and it can be settled in a single conversation.

Content

What you study

The modules of the programme, as the provider lists them.

BI analytics: SQL, Power BI, data storytellingData analytics: Python, data analysis, statisticsData science: machine learning, supervised and unsupervised learningObject-oriented programming: advanced Python, unit testingPortfolio project with agile project management

An optional training covers ML development with large language models.

Prior learning

What can be credited

Every credited module saves time and money. How much is possible depends on your prior learning.

Credit transfer is not the point here; this is vocational training, not a degree. I clarify with you beforehand whether a degree would be the better route for your goal.

How credit transfer works in principle and what counts is explained on Credit transfer for work experience. The credit check gives you a first assessment in two minutes.

Information Notice

The information on this page is general in nature and based on my advisory practice (last updated 28.08.2026). It does not replace an official credit transfer or recognition decision by the respective university and is not legal advice. Specific decisions are made by universities, the ZAB (Germany), the BMBWF (Austria), or the SBFI (Switzerland). I clarify binding next steps with you in the initial consultation.

Next step

Is this your programme?

In 30 minutes I work out with you whether this programme carries your goal, what your work experience can be credited for, and whether another programme in the network fits better. I earn from the placement, not from your decision.
