  • A commitment to continuous learning and adapting to evolving data technologies.

2. Skill Validation

This qualification assessment tests the technologist's knowledge of Data Science fundamentals. It's composed of Q&A and code challenges that evaluate theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills.A technologist is approved in this test if all challenge level cut-off scores are met.

Probability and Statistics Fundamentals

This challenge tests familiarity with Probability and Statistics applied to Data Science. It should be suitable for mid-to-senior candidates. Most of the questions are derived from Data Science certifications and some inspired by frequent Data Science interview questions.

Data Science Fundamentals

This challenge tests candidate knowledge of Data Science fundamentals and associated best practices. Question difficulty ranges from basic to intermediate, so the challenge should be suitable for any experienced Data Scientist. Most of the questions are derived from Data Science certifications and some inspired by frequent Data Science interview questions.

SQL

This challenge tests candidate knowledge of SQL and associated best practices. Question difficulty ranges from basic to intermediate, so the challenge should be suitable for any experienced SQL practitioner. Most of the questions are derived from SQL certifications and some inspired by frequent SQL interview questions.

Pandas Code Challenge

This challenge involves the use of Pandas to merge two World Factbook datasets and select countries with the highest obesity rates. Candidates can merge CSVs and perform fundamental operations on dataframes such as renaming, resetting indices, merging, sorting and selecting.

3. Technical Interview

This assessment is designed to test expertise in Data Science through a real-time coding challenge.During the assessment, technologists will tackle a hands-on problem tailored to the core principles of Data Science.

Their solution will be first verified by a battery of automated test cases to ensure it meets the functional requirements as well as industry standards. Then, our experienced interviewers step in to assess the overall efficiency of the candidate's solution.

Assessment Outline:

Data Science Coding Challenge:

  • The first challenge is is a basic Pandas problem that asks a tests basic skill in grouping and selecting. Given a simple two-column table, the candidate should find groups in columns a that have a specific value in any column b within that group.
  • The second challenge is a basic to intermediate SQL problem that asks the technologist to query sales data. It tests the technologists’ ability to write subqueries using the WITH keyword in SQL.
