I had a look at the distance learning and big data course from Liverpool, it's £17K and for an experienced software developer most of the modules you will know. Unless I've missed the correct course.

Microsoft do a nice one as well see https://academy.microsoft.com/en-us/...m/data-science

Looks an interesting course, couple of the modules a bit basic but quite tempted to do the course out of general interest.

Future Learn from the Open University also had some Big Data courses, I think

Pluralsight is another one worth looking at
