Program overview
A one year graduate certificate in applied analytics, covering statistical modelling, machine learning method, data preparation and cleaning, model evaluation, visualisation and a predictive modelling project.
This asks 70 percent rather than the 50 percent most Doon programmes require, and the statistical mathematics behind the subject fully justifies that higher bar. Read the credential level carefully before you choose.
Graduate Certificate in Predictive Analytics is taught at Conestoga College Doon campus, a public Ontario college. The predictive analytics certificate sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. Conestoga records the predictive analytics certificate under CIP 30.7101 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to one year. IRCC alone decides, so verify 30.7101 against the current eligible list before paying for the predictive analytics certificate. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the predictive analytics certificate can support a study permit.
Applicants to Graduate Certificate in Predictive Analytics need a completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent with a minimum of 70 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the predictive analytics certificate is recorded at CAD 15,844. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the predictive analytics certificate. The predictive analytics certificate lists seven entry windows across September, January and May. Apply Study Visa manages your the predictive analytics certificate application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.
