I am an analyst in Canada and I want to create a career in Data Science. I want to learn predictive analytics but I have very limited knowledge of stats. Therefore I want to take a bundle of courses that can cover the fundamentals of Statistics and then teach predictive analytics. I am planning to learn R for now and once I have an advanced understanding of R, will add Python to my skills.
My company will pay for the course/certification that I take. I looked at the Analytics for Data Science online certificate from the Institute of Statistics Canada (https://www.statistics.com/analytics-for-data-science/#program). It is a bit expensive but I want to know would it be worth spending the money and time; and would it start from the basics. If anyone knows of other good options, I would love to know. All my online research has made the decision very confusing.
