Professional Accreditation

Data Science Connects offers members  a pathway for professional certification

• Certified / Advanced Data Science Professional

To obtain certification membership to a  relevant professional society is required, as membership is universally recognised as a key component of certified professional competence.

Alliance for Data Science Professionals certification

The Alliance brings together four learned societies along with The Alan Turing Institute and NPL to offer two levels of certification – Data Science Professional and Advanced Data Science Professional – working against common standards to ensure an ethical and well-governed approach so the public, organisations and governments can have confidence in how their data is used. The certification is offered via each of the Alliance members: The OR Society (Data Science Connects); BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT; the Institute for Maths & its Applications; and The Royal Statistical Society.
