Data Engineering Fundamentals: From Python Basics to Working AI Applications

Master the basics of data engineering

6 days

What does the training include?

In this six-day training course, you’ll learn step by step how artificial intelligence works and how to build simple AI applications on your own. You’ll start with the basics of Python and, over the course of six hands-on days, work your way up to independently analyzing data, visualizing insights, building machine learning models, and applying existing AI models via Hugging Face. No programming experience required—just a laptop and a sense of curiosity. At the end, you’ll present your own final project: from raw data to clear insights.

What you learn

  • Programming in Python: variables, functions, loops, conditions, and lists.
  • Importing, exploring, filtering, and cleaning data with Pandas.
  • Visualizing data with bar charts, line graphs, and histograms.
  • Presenting trends, correlations, and data insights in an understandable way.
  • The basics of machine learning: training and test data, building and evaluating models.
  • Applying existing AI models via Hugging Face for text analysis and sentiment analysis.
  • Completing a full data and AI workflow: from raw data to presented results.

Contents (General Program)

Day 1 – Getting Started with Python

For whom?

  • Anyone who wants to learn how AI and data work: from professionals with a vocational education to college graduates without a technical background.
  • Professionals who want to learn how to work with data and AI in a practical way without any programming experience.
  • Data analysts, BI specialists, and knowledge workers who want to expand their skills into machine learning and AI.

Prerequisites

  • No programming experience required.
  • A laptop with an internet connection is all you need: all necessary software is open source and will be installed during the course.

What will you learn?

  • Independently analyze and visualize data using Python and Pandas.
  • Build, train, and evaluate a simple machine learning model.
  • Apply existing AI models to text data using Hugging Face.
  • Present data insights clearly and comprehensibly to colleagues or stakeholders.
  • Deliver a final project that combines all the skills you’ve learned.
