Why become a Fellow of the Data Science Institute?
Employers increasingly look for data scientists with both strong academic backgrounds and industry recognised professional credentials that demonstrate practical, specialised industry knowledge. A recent study from Elucian found that over 85% of employers will expect employees to have professional credentials in addition to a degree qualification.
The Fellow of the Data Science Institute (FDSI) credential confirms your ability to operate at a high professional level in data science. A fellow of the institute can demonstrate mastery in the field through a combination of technical expertise, research capability and leadership skills.
The FDSI credential is for practising data science professionals with an educational achievement at master’s degree level or higher in a relevant discipline, a pass in the Certified Professional Data Scientist certification exam and a minimum of three years’ experience in technical leadership, strategic or managerial roles.
