Overview

Starting Aug. 31, 2021, Bethel began offering mini boot camps to introduce you to data science and machine learning in the cloud. Designed to give you an introduction to the cloud, these courses are geared towards people already working within IT, data science or machine learning.

Upon completion, you will know enough to be able to engage with simple tasks on the cloud. Mini sessions will give you an understanding of which aspects of the cloud you want to further prepare for and study, enabling you to start learning on our own if you wish.

Mini boot camps will be repeated during the month of January 2022 and throughout Spring 2022. (See details on specific dates in tabs below.)

Pre-requisite knowledge: Ability to use Linux at the command line
