Hey! I did the IBM data science professional certificate and found it super valuable. It gave me solid foundational skills and looked great on my resume. I’d recommend it if you’re serious about getting into data science.

I finished that certification a while back. It’s alright if you’re new to data science, but it won’t guarantee you a job. The courses cover the basics, but not much beyond that. In the final part, you have to do a project on unsupervised machine learning using location data, I think. Overall, if you’re willing to put in the time and effort, it’s worth doing. But if you want to actually get a job, you’ll need to do a lot more learning on your own.

It doesn’t help your resume. But it helps you become a better data scientist.
So you can take it to better your knowledge.
I think it is worth it in that it equips you with industry ready skills unlike the ones from school
If it helps you enhance your skills as a data scientist (to be honest, there are better courses on Coursera), then absolutely, and that is the only reason Coursera courses should be taken.
The IBM Data Science Professional Certificate is highly regarded. Many find it valuable for gaining foundational skills in data science, including Python, SQL, and machine learning. It’s worth considering if you’re committed to learning data science. I recommend it for its comprehensive curriculum and industry recognition.
