Mastering Big Data

With ever faster data capture and analysis, the search for professionals capable of executing Big Data solutions continues to grow. Indeed, the efficient exploitation of data gives companies a considerable competitive advantage at the strategic level. Also, over the next few years, there is reason to believe that the career opportunities for big data analysts will increase significantly.

The “Big Data” Analyst journey provides the tools and skills to collect, manage, analyze and interpret all data. As Big Data is a relatively new field, it is the students’ responsibility to refine the technical skills they have acquired in order to stay ahead of the latest trends and technologies. Keep in mind that this is a career where you cannot afford the slightest delay!

My courses allow participants to acquire knowledge in management and processing of Big Data. As well as the acquisition of skills for the use of adapted tools, allowing to execute big data solutions based on the Hadoop ecosystem and / or Spark.
