Datacamp

Datacamp is an e-learning platform that offers interactive online courses in data science, analytics and programming. The platform was founded in 2013 by Martijn Theuwissen and Jonathan Cornelissen, and is headquartered in New York City. Datacamp offers a range of courses for individuals and businesses, from beginner to advanced, covering topics such as Python, R, SQL, data visualisation, machine learning, and more. Courses are taught by experienced instructors and are designed to be hands-on and interactive, with exercises and quizzes to test understanding and retention of the material. One of the unique aspects of Datacamp is its focus on gamification, which means the courses are designed to be fun and engaging, with rewards and achievements to keep learners motivated. The platform also offers a personalised learning experience, with course recommendations based on a learner’s skill level and interests. In addition to individual courses, Datacamp also offers skill and career tracks, which are designed to provide a comprehensive learning path for learners who want to master a specific topic or pursue a career in data science. Skill tracks cover a specific topic or skill, such as data manipulation with Python or data visualisation with ggplot2, while career tracks are designed to prepare learners for specific roles, such as data analyst, data scientist or machine learning engineer. Datacamp’s business model is primarily subscription-based, with learners paying a monthly or annual fee for access to the platform’s courses and resources. The platform also offers enterprise plans for organisations that provide additional features such as team management and custom course creation.
