You are assessed continuously on the assignments you submit through the cohort, and on a capstone project built with real data. Every credential carries an ID that anyone can check.

Professionals starting a career in data, people changing industries, researchers who need to analyse their own data, and teams whose organisations are adapting to AI. You do not need to be technical to start. You need to be willing to work consistently.
No. All three programs are designed to be accessible from scratch. We start at the foundation and build from there. If you can use a computer and commit to the schedule, you are ready.
Yes. You receive a Professional Diploma awarded by Wikrena Institute once you have met the program requirements, which are continuous assignments and a capstone project rather than a final exam. Every diploma carries a credential ID that anyone can check at wikrena.com/verify. The portfolio you build alongside it is what most employers ask to see first, which is why the capstone is a requirement and not an option.
Cohorts run on a live model: weekly sessions with your faculty lead, direct Q&A, and peer interaction. Sessions are recorded and shared. The SPSS program is the exception: it is self-paced by design, for learners who need flexibility.
Sessions are recorded and shared with your cohort, so nothing is lost. We do encourage consistent attendance, because the live interaction and faculty feedback are a significant part of what you are there for.
Yes. Talk to an advisor about the options for your program and we will find an arrangement that works. Cost should not be the reason you do not start.
