Beginner 4 hours English Course Certificate
Our recommendation
DataCamp's most-reviewed machine-learning course, walking through classification and regression with real datasets — predicting customer churn, diabetes risk and song genre — rather than toy examples. Hands-on in Python with scikit-learn, it is a practical, popular first real ML course for people who already know some Python.

Good for: A hands-on, practical first machine-learning course in Python.

Less suitable if: You cannot code Python or want deep ML theory.

Is this course right for you?

A good fit if you…

You know some Python
You want hands-on ML with real data
You want a practical first ML course

Consider something else if you…

You cannot yet code Python
You want deep ML theory
You already use scikit-learn

Requirements: Basic Python; some statistics helps.

Realistic time: Around 4 hours.

About this course

Supervised Learning with scikit-learn is DataCamp's most reviewed machine learning course, walking through classification and regression with real datasets — predicting customer churn, diabetes risk, and even song genre — rather than toy examples. It covers the full practical workflow: train/test splits, k-fold cross-validation, hyperparameter tuning with GridSearchCV, and building preprocessing pipelines.

What you'll learn

Assess model generalization with train-test splits and cross-validation
Differentiate key evaluation metrics (accuracy, precision, recall, F1, ROC-AUC, RMSE)
Tune hyperparameters with GridSearchCV and RandomizedSearchCV
Recognize overfitting and underfitting in model complexity
Apply preprocessing: encoding, imputation, scaling, pipelines
Build classification and regression models on real datasets
