XtraLeap offers many core subject programs for data analysis programs that provides top quality education at a nominal fee. XtraLeap program includes practice for every student to grasp skills necessary to excel in data science. At the same time, xtraleap is known to compete with established peers in training the next generation data scientists.  I have been monitoring progress in xtraleap and their teams effort to help the under privileged to learn and shape their careers in data science. I will definitely recommend them.

Dr. P. C. Srinivasa Rao, Ph.D. (IIT Dhanbad), PDF (IIIT Bangalore)

I have gone through the curriculum of the Data fellowship program at Xtraleap. It was designed in a way to make the students industry-ready. It covers the overview of the importance of data analytic tools for the current industrial needs. Definitely, this program helps the students to understand and learn how to start a career in data. Coming to the team, Mr. Siva Prasad Kowsika is a dynamic and visionary leader. As an academician, I could say the way how he designed the syllabus really fills the gaps in academics and industry, which helps the students Job ready. 

Dr. M. Somasundar Rao, M.Tech, Ph.D

Xtraleap designed the course very professional, and extremely easy to pick up data concepts for someone who doesn't know anything about data at all. I found it to be practical and informative. The sections were detail-oriented. The variety of classes and professionalism of instructors makes this one of my favorite online learning programs. I would recommend it.

Sarah Ren, Engineer, Investment Banking

Siva is an expert in the SQL world! I’ve known him for a couple of years and he always come to the rescue whenever I’ve faced difficult challenges, whether it be finding out the latest records for each individual user from a table of more than a billion of security events for million users, or figuring out why some queries take more than 10 minutes to return. He knows the game! Looking at the syllabus, he really balances out academic/theories and practical/real world usage. The courses are very well designed to give a broad yet hands-on introduction to newcomers. For people who have little or no experience and knowledge about SQL development, this is a great opportunity to get your feet in the door! Happy learning!

The program's goal is to kick-start your journey into the data and analytics space. This program covers concepts of data engineering, SQL concepts, SQL tips and tricks, Data analysis, Data blending, and visualization using Tableau and Excel. So, a student must have a laptop to be successful. We've learned these concepts in a challenging way but, you don't have to.
