Yup.. i been in training for 20years.. every class every student is different although you may be teaching the same topics.

Yeah, some smell good and some smell really quite bad.

活到老, 學到老.

Thinking of picking up new skills during this lull period.  Some useful courses (which comes to my mind)to future-proof the career might be:

1.  Data Science/data analytics.

2.  Artificial Intelligence.

3.  Apps Development.

4. Industry 4.0 related courses.

However,  there are too many software, courses which I am not too sure which are the best.

Are you in this field too?  Would appreciate if you could provides some recommendations.

For Data Science, NTUC learning hub recommends Qlik Sense. But how does it compare with Tableau Desktop or Power B.I.?  MS　Excel is no longer good for handling massive data.

For A.I, I think it is TensorFlow for Machine Learning.

For Apps Development what is the best software to learn? MIT App Inventor?

I don think it give me a better chance to get the job for sure.. 

i love to learn but lazy.. so I benefited more from YouTube teachers.. wanna learn Excel got one chio teacher Leila Gharani teach 😍

as my boss once said “i don have any certification in Excel but who dare to challenge me on my knowledge and speed with spread sheet”

Learning there’s many way. If one don wish to learn there’s no way to change it even the course is free. 
 

True. Sometimes, we need to have a task on-hand or a real practical problem to solve,  in order to learn effectively.Otherwise, it would just be attending a 3-Day Advanced Excel course and then forget the techniques after a while without real practice.

having done a few, tableau OR qlik, both similar, but ease is Tableau

 

As for the rest, udemy has a few data analytic bootcamps that cover python language as well and gives a good grounding.

 

Check it out and some are FOC.

Deleted, as has been answered.

Interesting. Thanks. Cos I only hear of those 3rd language in sec school. Seldom people speak a 3rd language here in Sg at Pri school levels unless they lived abroad or parents of non singaporean origin. 

Though I guess Korean and jap classes have a strong following due to their dramas. 

Somewhere in year 2000, I attended 6 months of Japanese language from a neighborhood CC, just for the fun of it.  But in the end, seldom get to practise.

1. Overhead, rental and operational expenses are too high in Singapore.

2.  No way to compete with established brands such as Bengawan Solo.

Top 2 is Power BI and Tableau.

It depends on which 1 the company is using

Its entirely up to the learner to capitalise on it.

I know of a Malaysian, travelled to Singapore to learn on how to make ice cream from WSQ culinary programme. Of coz she paid full course fee since she's foreigner. 

She learned the skills. She went back to her city and open ice cream shop that sells flavours that never found anywhere in her city. 

I personally went to visit her shop and it's real.

We dont know how foreigners envy our system that our govt is helping us to learn new skills and business ideas. 

I tell you, if this Malaysian can come here to pay full fee to learn from our govt initiatives, I'm v sure there are many foreigners from Viet, Thailand, Philippines, even westerners, are benefiting it too. They come, learn our standards and go back to benefit from it.

So WSQ are not for fun.

Foreigner pay full fee can do whatever they want. Nothing to do w Skillsfuture 

But if use taxpayer money to bake for fun, different matter 

Btw, hv to put it to good use or not? 

[Albeniz]

Does anyone know where I can sit for an examination to obtain a professional certification for python and data analytics?

[Jamesc]

Aiyah sorry I don't know anything about python and data analytics courses.

I only know all the WSQ Provide Full-Body Massage with Oil Course Singapore

This is a WSQ massage course Singapore to treat the whole body and pamper with 5 most important techniques – effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement and vibration. The most important is to develop the sense of touch and manage the variation, the transitions of each technique smoothly. Also commonly known as Swedish Massage, it is a must learn for all beginners. You will master the 5 famous classical movements and know how to apply to various parts of your body.  In the wellness industry, this modality is most popular and best known to help the body relax.

Our course offers our students a lot of practical hands on training to practise the long gliding strokes, how to use the fingers, hands and palms to rub, to tap, knead and stretch. There are a whole lot of different movements for different parts of the muscles and body parts. This therapeutic touch works on rebalancing the body and the emotional level.  Holistic Massage works wonders and offers tremendous benefits :

Increase the level of oxygen in your body.

Is IBM Cognos a popular data analytics software?  Seems that it not so commonly-used compared to Power BI and Tableau.
