Data Science Specialist Certification

This exam is designed to comprehensively assess the conceptual competencies, methodological awareness, and modeling-evaluation knowledge of participants at the entry level in data science. The questions cover core topics ranging from the CRISP-DM process model (Business Understanding → Deployment) to data preprocessing, feature engineering, algorithm libraries, and AutoML requirements. The assessment approach evaluates both knowledge recall (via multiple choice and true/false) and the ability to apply concepts analytically (via short answer and scenario-based analysis). This structure ensures that participants not only memorize definitions but also establish inter-conceptual understanding and internalize the data-driven problem-solving cycle.

Exam Duration: 3 Hours
Number of Questions: 38
