Course overview
thinQtank® Learning is offering a unique instructor-led training camp for the working data scientist. Students work the mathematics and statistics the discipline rests on, frame business problems as data problems, prepare and engineer features without leaking information, select and tune models and defend the choice, and take a model from notebook to production — then monitor it for drift, review it for bias, and explain what it is doing to the people who will act on its output.
This course also helps students prepare to take the CompTIA DataAI (DY0-001) exam — CompTIA’s Xpert Series data science credential, previously branded DataX. It is scored pass/fail with no scaled score. This is a certification camp for people already doing this work: the week sharpens and validates existing practice rather than teaching data science from the beginning.

What you'll be able to do
10 objectives- Apply the probability, statistics and linear algebra that data science actually rests on
- Design experiments and sampling that support the conclusion being drawn
- Frame a business problem as a data problem with a measurable outcome
- Prepare, clean and engineer features without leaking information into the model
- Select, train and tune models across supervised, unsupervised and deep learning approaches
- Evaluate honestly: the right metric for the problem, cross-validation, and catching over-fitting
- Build and version the data pipelines a model depends on
- Deploy models to production, monitor for drift, and retrain before accuracy costs anything
- Address bias, explainability, ethics and governance, and document a model so it can be reviewed
- Apply specialised techniques: natural language processing, computer vision, time series and optimisation

- Exam DY0-001 — CompTIA DataAI, formerly branded DataX
- One-hundred and sixty-five minutes to complete
- Scored PASS/FAIL only — there is no scaled score
- Released 25 July 2024 as part of the CompTIA Xpert Series, the top tier of the CompTIA portfolio
- DataAI Voucher — an exam voucher for DY0-001 is available through thinQtank for $470 USD. Ask when you register and we will add it to your enrollment
Who it's for, and what you need first
Target Audience
- Practising data scientists seeking a vendor-neutral credential for the work they already do
- Machine learning and MLOps engineers taking models into production
- Data analysts and statisticians moving into modelling and machine learning roles
- Research and quantitative staff formalising their practice against an industry standard
- Service members, veterans and military spouses using AF COOL, Army Credentialing Assistance, MyCAA or VET TEC 2.0
Prerequisites
- Working fluency in Python or R and in SQL, used on real datasets
- Comfortable with statistics, linear algebra and probability at working level
- This is an Xpert Series exam. CompTIA recommends five or more years in data science or a similar role. This camp sharpens and certifies existing practice — it is not an introduction to data science, and it is not the right starting point for someone new to the field
