📌 Start with a support system
"I want to explore data science, but:
I don't know anyone else who has the same goals as me.
I'm not sure if I have what it takes.
I need more information."
Aral-Aral brings together the best of online & community-based learning as an online data learning resource for everyone. Aral-Aral will help you become more comfortable with basic data science concepts—in Python and in statistics, empowering you with the skills to become a future data scientist. Currently, over 1,800 learners are in our Facebook group—you can join today and be part of something big!
Learning Circles, a learning feature under Aral-Aral (as well as Aral-Aral+), is a great opportunity for those who are at the early stage of their data science journey. We provide live tutorials for learners with direct mentorship and a peer group!
Here are examples of Learning Circles we had just this October:
Basic Python (October 10)
Algorithms (October 17)
Exploratory Data Analysis & Data Wrangling with Numpty & Pandas (October 24)
Data Visualization with Matplotlib (October 31)
🤩 Our Aral-Aral members in our Facebook community are always the first to know about new Learning Circles schedules—join here.
📌 Speed up your learning
"I am an aspiring data scientist, but:
I want to learn things at my own pace, where can I do this?
I don't know where to even begin!
I'm worried I won't be prepared for Eskwelabs' Data Science Bootcamp.
Aral-Aral+ teaches Python, Math, and Statistics concepts for data science entirely at your own pace. This is our newly launched on-demand prep-course for aspiring data scientists, designed by professional data scientists.

📌 Speak to experienced data scientists
"I am an aspiring data scientist, but:
There is so much I don't know about the journey. Who can I talk to about it?
I'm not sure if this is the path for me.
I first need to know what affordable learning opportunities are available.
We've hosted two AMA "Ask Me Anything" Data Scientists Sessions this October, and we've got another one this November 7, 2020 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM with data scientist and tech for good activist Albert Yumol—Albert is also Eskwelabs' Data Science Education Team Lead.
In our first year, we launched the careers of 100+ data scientists and reached 2500+ learners through our free programs in the Philippines. Our data science graduates land a job within 90 days of graduation and increase their pay on average by 50% (while this stat is from pre-COVID, we hope this will hold once the new normal settles in).
👉 The livestream will be hosted on our main Eskwelabs Facebook page via FB live. Like and follow our page to get reminded when our livestream goes up!
📌 Sprint the same way industry professionals do
"I am determined to have a career as a data scientist, but:
I'm not sure if this is the path for me.
I'm not sure if this is the path for me.
I first need to know what affordable learning opportunities are available.
Our Data Science Bootcamp now has a re-designed online learning experience for more practice—we're using Data Sprints! Fellows now complete a series of 2-week projects mimicking how real tech teams run and present them to the industry! Cohort VI will start on January 11, 2021!
Invest in yourself in 2021 by launching your data science career with portfolio-ready projects. Cohort VI is now open for admissions!
