At the Omaha Data Science Academy our instructors are practicing data scientists. This means you get working knowledge and relevant practice in our classroom.

So much so, our unofficial motto is: “Come learn from 6-9pm, what a data scientist did from 8-5pm”

The Data Science Academy is designed to teach a new set of skills to individuals who don’t need another degree. They are already being asked to do pieces and parts of data science, but simply don’t know how. Our goal is to not only teach them skills sets but to also help them understand how to implement their new found skills inside of organizations.

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT

The ODSA was designed to be different. The ODSA was created because a group of data scientists needed more data scientists to fill roles at their companies.

For that reason:

The ODSA’s certificates are not generic. Our curriculum was designed to prepare you for a specific job by teaching specific individual skill modules in combinations reflecting common duties of a specific job title. Nowhere is this more evident than the fact that companies send their employees to be trained by us because our training is valuable and applicable. Not only do you get the same curriculum and training as them, but often you are actually in the same class as them.

Our professors are practicing professionals. We can teach the necessary skills because we, ourselves, do the work every day. We teach you what we would need to retrain ourselves from scratch. It is actually a requirement that those that teach at our Academy practice their profession. It is for that reason, you’ll hear phrases like: “Earlier today, I was building this for a customer/company. It is also why our catch phrase is: ”Come learn from 6-9 what a data scientist does from 8-5”. 

We also understand how busy we all are. Because of this, all of our classes are designed to fit the needs of professionals who can’t drop everything to earn another degree. Our classes are at night, and are live streamed in case kids, family, or a global pandemic get in the way. 

Our certificates are designed around the idea of work/life balance. Yes, you are learning a new skill. No, you do not have 10 hours per week to dedicate to homework.
