IT tech skills are goldmine not to be compared with these theoretical M.Sc we do here, and Data Science is one of the top 10 IT jobs out there.
Let him judiciously study it, build his portfolio in relation to real world problems, then jobs will come.
Make sure he knows his excel/spreadsheets, then proceed to Data Analytics, to Data Science!

Yes, IT Courses can be very lucrative if you are a good Learner not just a good Student. If you are just a good student, you would pay for a million and one courses before you ever amount to anything significant.

My advice, if you want a qualitative experience that has huge potential upside I will advise:

1. Pay for Pluralsight Courses. (usually above $200)
Udemy and co. will be cheaper but Pluralsight provides job-ready context. It is preferred by tech companies in uptraining their staff. Pick quality over price.

2. Leetcode Pro
To practice your Data Structure and Algorithm Knowledge. This is the foundation of your application of programming concepts. DSA is highly sought after. Coding Job Interviews are hinged on DSA knowledge.

3. Read Technical Books and Documentations:
We love audio-visual learning materials, but books written by experts in the selected fields give you a whole lot of retained value you can never get out of hour long videos where the creator tries to minimize time and size and sacrifice value/content. Read Documentations on the languages , frameworks and packages you are working with. Books on the Computer Science Fundamentals should be prioritized.

4. Learn Extensively :
IT field is really broad and dynamic. Tools, resources become obsolete quickly. So you have to refresh your knowledge frequently.
Try to know as much as or more than the next person. The field is competitive. You can't rest on little knowledge. Brush up various skills, technologies which you can pick up when ready but don't try to become an expert in all. Pick One field that catches your passion and delve in deeper and commit more effort than in the rest.

5. Build Projects and Gain Real Work Experience:
You don't sell yourself in this field with grammar or a well styled CV. You do that exclusively by your capacity. You have to show your capacity to fulfill job demands in various forms. Either by being an avid team player in a group with amazing projects and show your impact on the team or your solo projects that show your skills and abilities are top notch by production standards.
Skilled developers with no degree are employed over nominal CS grads. It's all about what you can do.


With these you can begin Job applications, that is a whole other issue and topic. But, you would stand a very solid chance. Tech pays well indeed. Remote job offers begin at $30,000 in well paying regions. Some companies especially in Canada and US can use special immigration policies to sponsor your work visa to move over and continue work in their country.

The site is accessible, either that or try beta.hide01.ir.
The laptop honestly depends on what you're actually going to do with it. Most guys doing cybersec will have to be running alot of virtual machines to run labs offline for practice, you'll need alot of ram, CPU power, storage and GPU if you want to run things smoothly.

No IT related experience in my CV. Would I be selected for the course??

Yes you would.
It's absolutely for beginners.

500 usd is max 335 at black market. But if you're sure your Nigerian Master's has value, then go for it.

For online learning, all you need is a laptop, internet, and discipline.

Thank you very much.

My brother said that the fee he saw on Udacity was 400USD per month.....not for the entire duration of the course (which is 5months)

Or he didn't check well?

1. Join your WhatsApp group where your cohort are. That the biggest and number one thing that helped me on my journey.

2. Always endeavour to finish your tasks within the first deadlines.

3. If you must copy from others, try to learn how the code works because, you may need them for quiz, projects and life.

Well, I paid 80k for the Data Analytics August Cohort.
And classes started already.

You checked for the "Data Science fellowship" course and not the "Data Analytics" fast track course..

They are different.
