I often get asked- what's the BEST Certification for #datascience or #machinelearning?

👉My answer is: none

The reality is that certification don't matter for data science.

This is not commerce. we are not using the same techniques over and over again to solve well-defined problems.

The problems are challenging, the data is messy and numerous techniques are used.

So if you've wondering which certification you should get, Save yourself,some mental energy and stop thinking about it- they are not really matter.

👉 Instead, grab a dataset and start playing with it.

👉 Start applying what you know and trying to solve interesting problems, learn something new every day.
