Full-Stack Specialist
Full-Stack DataU Specialist
Become a future Data + AI leader.
Six-month hybrid program — SQL, Excel, Power BI, Python, ML, and a placement-ready capstone. 200+ hours. Tuition quoted after interview.
Cohort-based
You move through the program alongside the same group — shared deadlines, peer accountability, and a real community instead of a solo video queue.
Project-based
The last two months turn everything you learned into one real, portfolio-ready capstone project — not a multiple-choice final.
Instructor-led
1:2:1 coaching throughout, not just pre-recorded lessons — a real instructor reviewing your work and unblocking you.
About the program
Full-Stack DataU Specialist is the flagship hybrid program for career switchers and early-career professionals who want the full data stack — not a single tool certificate.
Four months of instructor-led core training (SQL & warehouses, Power BI, Python, data science & ML, advanced Excel), then two months on a real capstone with CV polish, interview prep, and 1:2:1 coaching.
Prefer to go modular first? Take individual courses such as Advanced Excel, Power BI, Intro Python, Intensive Python, or Data Engineering — then apply to the Specialist when you are ready for the full program.

Frequently asked
How long is the program?+
Six months hybrid. Guided instruction, labs, and coaching add up to 200+ hours — not 960 calendar hours of video. The last two months are the capstone.
How does admission work?+
Read the syllabus, apply with your profile and CV, then book a 15–30 minute online interview with a DataU team member. If you are a fit we email an enrollment offer and deposit details; you then await the next term kick-off. Short placement checks in math, English, Excel, and SQL will be added to this process soon.
What does the program cost?+
Tuition is not listed as a fixed public price — admissions confirms the current figure and any payment plans during application review, before you commit.
Can I take the modules as separate courses instead?+
Yes. Browse paths at /paths, or take Advanced Excel, Power BI, SQL, Python, Data Storytelling, Data Engineering, Cloud Data, Career Development, and more on the marketplace. The Specialist bundles the full path with coaching and a capstone.
What are the entry requirements?+
No fixed checklist — admissions reviews each application. We will tell you plainly if the program is a fit or suggest modular courses first.
When does the program start?+
Enrollment is ongoing. Apply anytime and admissions will share the next available start date.
Is this online or in-person?+
Hybrid — campus and live online for core training; the two-month capstone phase is remote.
What happens if I’m not selected?+
Start with modular courses or the free Upskillers platform (Talent Index, Atey tutor, skill tracking). We can reconsider you for a later intake.
