Big Data Training

[geoffreywhereveryoumaybe]

I am a data architect looking to move into the Big Data world - can anyone recommend online or evening courses in the South East that I can use to get technical knowledge and understanding? Came across Big Data Specialization at w ww.coursera.org and Southampton Data Science Academy - has anyone got any experience of them? Any recommendations gratefully accepted.

never heard of Southampton Data Science Academy but there are plenty of courses.

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

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

Pluralsight is another one worth looking at

[woohoo]

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

Liverpool University run one in conjunction with the Hartree Centre (supercomputing centre). It is a 1 year MSc but I "think" a similar course is available for distance learning MSc too. Seems like the next "big thing" to me, major companies like BP, GE, Siemens etc are getting into it in a big way.

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.
