Data Science Certification — Live Python, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and MLOps Cohort

The Data Science Full Stack Program from MCI Skills Lab is a live, instructor-led 16-week cohort that takes practitioners from Python and statistics through machine learning and deep learning to containerised models deployed, monitored and maintained in the cloud. The next global cohort starts August 8, 2026 and runs every weekend. Available for individuals, teams of 15+ and private enterprise cohorts.

What your organisation gets from this program

  • Practitioners who ship: the program ends in MLOps — containerisation, cloud deployment and CI/CD — so teams stop stalling at the notebook stage.
  • One modelling method across the team: feature engineering, evaluation and tuning taught as a single repeatable workflow.
  • Governance-aware delivery: experiment tracking, model versioning and monitoring so deployed models stay auditable and can be handed over.
  • Less dependence on external vendors: routine modelling, retraining and pipeline maintenance move in-house.

Who this cohort is for

Senior professionals

Analysts, engineers and reporting professionals who need the full modelling stack — Python, statistics, machine learning, deep learning and MLOps — applied to real organisational problems.

Team leads and group enrolment

Leaders standardising data science practice across an analytics or engineering team, with one shared toolchain and a predictable weekend schedule. Group enrolment is available for teams of 15+ learners.

Enterprise capability build

Executive sponsors accountable for AI and analytics outcomes who need enough internal people to take a model from notebook to a monitored production service.

Program mechanics

  • Format: live instructor-led online cohort

16-week curriculum

Module 1 — Python Programming Fundamentals (3 weeks)

Python basics, data types and structures; object-oriented programming; file handling, APIs and web scraping; error handling and debugging; version control with Git and GitHub.

Module 2 — Data Analysis and Visualization (3 weeks)

NumPy for numerical computing; Pandas for data manipulation; Matplotlib and Seaborn visualization; exploratory data analysis; statistical analysis and hypothesis testing.

Module 3 — Machine Learning Foundations (4 weeks)

Supervised learning algorithms; unsupervised learning techniques; model evaluation and selection; feature engineering strategies; hyperparameter tuning and optimization.

Module 4 — Deep Learning and Neural Networks (3 weeks)

Neural network fundamentals; TensorFlow and Keras; computer vision with CNNs; natural language processing; transfer learning and fine-tuning.

Module 5 — MLOps and Production Deployment (3 weeks)

Model versioning and experiment tracking; Docker containerization; cloud deployment on AWS and GCP; CI/CD pipelines for ML; monitoring and model maintenance.

Faculty

Taught by Rishav Das, Senior Business Intelligence Consultant, a seasoned BI professional with extensive experience in Fortune 500 companies across healthcare, finance and retail.

Live cohort vs self-paced courses

Both formats teach the same algorithms. The live cohort adds instructor-led weekend sessions, questions answered in session, production deployment with monitoring and CI/CD, a schedule that keeps the group moving over 16 weeks, and career assistance covering resume review, LinkedIn optimisation, mentoring and interview preparation. Self-paced courses typically stop at a notebook and an accuracy score.

Investment

₹55,000 INR for India and $700 USD internationally, as a one-time payment. EMI options are available and organisations can be invoiced for group enrolment of 15+ learners.
