Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about data science and analytics courses in Katima Mulilo.

Do I need to know programming to start data science training?

For Azure Data Fundamentals (R10,900), no programming is required — it is a beginner course covering cloud data concepts. For the Data Engineer Associate, Data Scientist Associate and AWS Data Analytics courses, basic Python knowledge is helpful but can be developed alongside training. We will advise you on the best starting point during your enrolment call.

What is the difference between a Data Engineer and a Data Scientist?

A Data Engineer builds the pipelines, storage and infrastructure that make data available. A Data Scientist analyses that data to extract insights, build predictive models and deploy machine learning solutions. Azure offers separate certification tracks for each: DP-203 for Data Engineers and DP-100 for Data Scientists.

Are these courses online or in-person?

All courses are 100% online and delivered live and 1-on-1 with a qualified lecturer via MS Teams or Google Meet. You schedule sessions at times that suit you, and training is entirely flexible around your existing work commitments.

Which data science courses lead to Microsoft certifications?

Azure Data Fundamentals prepares you for DP-900. Data Engineer Associate prepares you for DP-203. Data Scientist Associate prepares you for DP-100. Data Analyst Associate prepares you for PL-300. All international Microsoft exam fees are additional — contact us to confirm current fees.

How much do data engineers and data scientists earn in South Africa?

Azure-certified Data Engineers typically earn R450,000–R850,000 per year. Data Scientists with the DP-100 certification earn R550,000–R1,000,000. AWS Data Analytics professionals earn R420,000–R800,000. Blockchain developers can earn R450,000–R850,000 per year. Salaries vary by city, industry and experience.

Can I do blockchain training without a technical background?

Yes. The Blockchain Business Leader Certification (BBLC) is designed for non-technical professionals — executives, managers and business analysts. It covers blockchain strategy, enterprise use cases and leadership without requiring coding skills. The BFC and BDC courses are more technical and suited to those with some IT or development background.

How long does the Data Scientist Associate course take?

The DP-100 Data Scientist Associate course covers 80 hours of content — typically completed in 3–4 months when studying alongside full-time work. The pace is entirely flexible: sessions are booked to suit your schedule, and you can accelerate or extend the timeline as needed.
