The real power and value proposition of Apache Spark is its speed and platform to execute Data Science tasks. Spark's unique use case is that it combines ETL, batch analytic, real-time stream analysis, machine learning, graph processing, and visualizations to allow Data Scientists to tackle the complexities that come with raw unstructured data sets. Spark embraces this approach and has the vision to make the transition from working on a single machine to working on a cluster, something that makes data science tasks a lot more agile.
In this course, you’ll get a hands-on technical resource that will enable you to become comfortable and confident working with Spark for Data Science. We won't just explore Spark’s Data Science libraries, we’ll dive deeper and expand on the topics.
This course starts by taking you through Spark and the needed steps to build machine learning applications. You will learn to collect, clean, and visualize data coming from Twitter with Spark streaming. Then, you will get acquainted with Spark Machine learning algorithms and different machine learning techniques. You will also learn to apply statistical analysis and mining operations on our Tweet dataset. Finally, the course will end by giving you some ideas on how to perform awesome analysis including graph processing. By the end of the course, you will be able to do your Data scientist job in a very visual way, comprehensive and appealing for business and other stakeholders.

Self Paced courses are comprised of several learning videos into a course structure broken down into Learning Modules and Sessions. The learner is required to go through the videos topic-wise in the structure sequence of the course to learn the concepts. Being Self Paced, there is no intervention of any external faculty or additional mentor in learning.
NIIT Certification on completion of the program.
Preferably Math or Statistics subjects learnt at school and college level.
Database, MIS and data analysis would help a lot in easy and quick learning.
Who should go for this Course?
Software professional aspiring career in Data Science to use data analytical ability for interpreting rich data stores.
Data visualisation and statistics aspirants with keen interest in programming can also join this course to leverage upon the learning for promising career growth.
Where can I find my session schedule?
The session schedule will be available in the training.com Student portal - Learning Plan section. You can login to your training.com account to view the same.
What is your refund policy?
