Once you have sampled some free courses and you decide to join a data science course here is guide on how to choose the right program for yourself-

Self-Paced vs Instructor led- Prefer instructor ledas this will give you more opportunities to clarify your doubts.Per a statistic, 8090% students dont complete their self-paced/videos based course.

Online vs Class-room-Some people prefer classrooms for face to face learning and interaction with fellow students. However,online courses are equally effectiveif you are self-motivated.

Quality of Instructors-There are two kind of trainers in the market.1- Who have done some courses themselves and now doing the training 2- Industry practitioners. These are the people who have worked for significant years in the industry. You should alwaysprefer to learn from industry practitioners with significant work experience.I should warn you- unfortunately there are some fake personalities in this industry soplease do check trainers linkedin profile yourselfand see how many people have endorsed the instructor or faculty for the data science skills.If you see no or very little endorsements, it's a red flag.

Placement Assistance-Check whether the institute is providing placement assistance or not. Alsoask for statistics on how many people have been successfully placed by them. Ultimately this is one of the main reason why are contemplating taking a course after all.

Practice Case studies and Assignments-Choose the course which is giving youseveral real world industry datasets and problems to work on. Prefer the ones which haveLearning Managment System (LMS)on top of that for supplementary learning.

Ongoing Help-You will not master the topics in 1 or 2 months it will take several months for you to build comfort on these topics.An institute which is providing long term help with your learning needs and answering your queries in the future is preferred.

Certification-All else being equal,a certification from reputed institute will be better.

Quizzes and Assignments-It is critical to get your understanding evaluated on a periodic basis via quizzes and assignments. A good institute will givetons of quizzes and assignments and will provide the grading and feedback.
