The Management course will teach you how to become an effective business leader. A successful manager is someone who can get the best results from their team. Every person is different and requires an individual approach, but the core principles in motivating and empowering people across your organization are uniform. The Management course touches on key managerial functions, such as planning, organization, staffing, and leading. Contrary to what many people believe, leaders and managers are cultivated, not born. This course will walk you through the process from zero to one..

I’ve been with 365 Data Science for about two years, starting with the Business Analyst course and now working on Data Engineering. My Excel skills improved so much they helped me land two promotions, and my coding knowledge—especially in Python—has grown dramatically. The courses go deeper, helping me understand the mechanisms behind technology. With a set schedule and commitment, the results are real. I highly recommend 365 and look forward to continuing my learning journey.

365 Data Science.

365 Data Science had everything I was looking for—from BI tools and visuals to advanced ML frameworks. The constantly updated content kept me current, while hands-on projects strengthened my portfolio. The interview simulator gave me realistic practice for job applications, helping me feel prepared and confident. 365 doesn’t just teach theory—it equips you for the market. The knowledge and practical skills I gained were key to landing my current role as a data scientist.
