The Diploma of Data Science is Here

Why Study a Diploma of Data Science?

Let’s be real. If you’re considering a data science course, then you already know that our world – now, more than ever – runs on data.

From ensuring our ever-growing cities can accommodate and serve their populations, to providing life-saving insights in healthcare, and monitoring and finding solutions to protect our natural environment, data’s importance to our future cannot be overstated, and neither can the importance of those who can extract, refine, and define it.  

And the demand? It’s booming!

According to the 2023 and 2024 editions of ACS Australia’s Digital Pulse, our country will need 134,000 people skilled in advanced data analytics by 2030. 

Data analysis is, of course, a key area of machine learning, and as demand for more accurate and efficient AI tools grows, workers with these skills will be more in demand than ever. 

The 2024 ACS report also notes a broadening of the industries hiring workers with skills in data analysis and artificial intelligence. These workers are no longer employed by technology-focused organisations alone, with “the share of AI jobs ads in industries including mining, healthcare, and manufacturing more than doubling over the past five years.”

What Sets Coder Academy’s Data Science Bootcamp Apart?

There are many ways to get started in data science – from free online courses to university study or being blessed with the gift by a magical forest mage (results for that last one may vary) – you can embark on your journey into data in a variety of ways.

Here’s what makes our bootcamp different:

• Prepare for the real world – learn by completing practical projects with real-world challenges.
• It’s accredited and fast – this higher education diploma takes a nationally recognised qualification and condenses it into a 10-month bootcamp format.
• Flexible learning – 100% online with your time spent between live, teacher-led classes and directed self-study.

You’ll also be taught, mentored, and cheered to victory by educators who actually work in the tech industry. And on that note, why don’t we ask Coder Academy’s own academic Aamod Paudel why he’s so excited about the new course? 

“I’m a data analyst and enthusiastic educator. My journey kicked off when I discovered that data isn’t just numbers – it’s more like a puzzle waiting to reveal fascinating stories. Teaching lets me share this excitement, making data fun, approachable, and, believe it or not, actually interesting!” 

And what about the ideal data science student? Does Aamod think data analysis is only for those who love statistics and spreadsheets? Or are there other skills that career changers might bring to the field? 

“Data storytelling – the art of making data relatable and understandable – can truly set you apart,” Aamod says.

“It’s easy to get caught up mastering technical skills, but clearly conveying complex insights to non-technical stakeholders is vital.”
