The DeepLearning.AI Data Engineering Professional Certificate is a comprehensive online program for data engineers and practitioners looking to start or grow their careers.

Organizations of all sizes and across all industries are capturing and generating data at an ever-increasing pace. Within these organizations, every team, from executives, sales and marketing, finance and operations, product and engineering, to customer service, can derive insights and value from organizational data. Whether the end use case is data science, machine learning, or analytics, data engineering is what allows raw data to be converted to value for the business. This is why the role of data engineer is one of the highest-demand jobs in tech today.

Throughout this program, you’ll learn the foundations of data engineering while gaining hands-on experience designing and implementing data architectures using AWS and open-source tools. You’ll acquire the fundamental practices and gain intuition on the core principles to think, act, and function like an effective data engineer in the real world.

Taught by industry expert Joe Reis, co-author of Fundamentals of Data Engineering, this certificate equips you with the skills and knowledge to excel in a high-demand field, focusing on ingesting, processing, transforming, storing, and serving data to data stakeholders to drive organizational and business objectives.

With this certificate, you will have the tools to further your data engineering career.
