About Data Science with Python
Data Science with Python Foundation Training and Certification
Benefits
For Individuals
- Gain confidence working with real‑world data by exploring and uncovering insights using pandas, helping you make smarter, evidence‑based decisions.
- Build practical machine learning skills as you learn to train and evaluate models with scikit‑learn—making you more effective in data‑driven roles.
- Choose the right algorithm for the right problem, improving your ability to solve business challenges efficiently and deliver high‑quality analytical results.
- Handle complex datasets with ease through mastering essential techniques such as scaling, encoding, and imputing—skills that employers value highly.
- Work like a professional data scientist by applying best practices in data wrangling and model building, boosting both the quality and reliability of your analyses.
For Organizations
- Faster, better decisions across teams - Employees who can perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) with pandas surface trends and risks earlier, enabling quicker, evidence‑based decisions and reducing time spent debating opinions.
- Higher ROI from data initiatives - Staff trained to train and evaluate ML models with scikit‑learn can prototype and validate ideas internally, cutting reliance on external vendors and accelerating time‑to‑value for analytics projects.
- Solutions that fit real business problems - The ability to select the right algorithm and performance metric means teams solve the actual business question, improving operational outcomes and stakeholder trust.
- More reliable pipelines, fewer data blockers - Mastery of scaling, encoding, and imputing improves data quality and model stability, reducing defects in production and lowering unplanned engineering rework.
- Consistent, repeatable analytics practices - Applying best practices for data wrangling and model building establishes shared standards, improving collaboration across data, product, and engineering—and making models easier to audit and maintain.

FAQs
You can always access all your records, electronic certificates and badges via the APMG Candidate Portal.
Once you have logged on to the Candidate Portal, click on the ‘Badges and Certificates’ option from the menu bar at the top of screen. From here you should click on the ‘Create Badge/Certificate’ button. This will take you to the Credly platform to create an account and download your badge and certificate.
Step-by-step guidance is available to download from the ‘Badges and Certificates’ area in your Candidate Portal.
Electronic certificates are environmentally friendly, but you can print the certificate yourself at home or work, if required.
If you have any problems you are welcome to contact our customer service team.
Using a company device in which you do not have administrative rights and access to download additional software tends to cause issues when sitting your exam via ProctorU, as outlined in the Candidate Guidance Agreement.
If you wish to sit your exam via ProctorU again, you will need to pay a reschedule fee of £32 (which you can do in the Candidate Portal) before you can select a new date and time.
Alternatively, you can reschedule your exam via our AIPP service, where you can take your exam over Zoom without downloading any additional software. Please note there are fewer exam slots available through AIPP.
Full details of our Proctoring options can be found on our Proctoring Page.
If you feel you had issues during your exam, you may submit an appeal to customerservice@apmgroup.co.uk. We will review your appeal and respond. See APMG’s policies for details on the full appeals process.
To appeal your result, email a written request with supporting evidence to customerservice@apmgroup.co.uk. We will review your appeal and respond. See APMG’s policies for details on the full appeals process.
Your results will be processed 6 to 12 hours after your exam. You will receive an email confirming your achievement and inviting you to the Candidate Portal where you can see your official result. From there, you can create your account in Credly.com and access your digital badge and certificate.
Your training organization specified that they wish to view candidate results before releasing. If you would like your results sooner, you may contact your ATO directly and request your results that way. After they have released them, you will be able to create/view your Digital Badge and download your Digital Certificate in your Credly account in the Certificates section of your portal.
Since 2018, we are no longer registered for AXELOS qualifications and are unable to provide the certificates.
If you received your AXELOS qualification before this time, you can contact customer service and upon providing your candidate number, ask if a copy of your certificate still exists in our system.
Alternatively, you can reach out to IT PeopleCert directly with this request quoting your candidate number.
If you do not have your candidate number, we can provide it to you. Additionally, we are happy to provide a letter of verification for any exams sat with us.
When you pass an exam – you will instantly have the option to claim a digital badge as representation of your new certificate. Your badge can be embedded on an email signature, website, digital CV, or shared via LinkedIn.
Access the downloadable guide for more information on how to claim your digital badge.
Trainers must be sponsored by an Accredited Training Organization (ATO), which can be found using the APMG International search tool. The sponsoring ATO must submit a trainer application to APMG.
