Maximum access to the platform
The maximum access period is the timeframe that each learner has for signing up and progressing through the program. Its duration depends on the program that you've enrolled in.
When you reach the end of maximum access, you can still sign in to the platform to review the sprints and modules you’ve already completed. However, you can’t progress further.
Make sure to book and complete reviews before your account's maximum access ends, as they will be automatically canceled otherwise.
You are expected to complete the endorsement before your maximum access to the program ends, except for learners in the Digital Explorers II, Digital Explorers Iraq Edition, AI for Business Analytics and AI for Engineering programs, as your conditions differ, and you do not have access to the endorsement.
Once maximum platform access ends, BigQuery access will remain available for one to two months. Additionally, ensure you know which Google account is storing your projects or presentations. This is crucial because when your BigQuery access expires, the Google account provided by Turing College will be terminated as well.
To save your important projects, please transfer them to your personal, private Google accounts.
Visualization tools and capstone project after maximum access:
Tableau: Since Tableau Public is free and the data uploaded there is not directly linked with BigQuery, you should encounter no issues in maintaining your work, such as presenting your Capstone project to potential employers using Tableau.
Looker Studio: Potential challenges may arise here. As previously stated, once maximum platform access ends, you'll still have one to two months of access to external learning tools like BigQuery. One crucial thing to note is that if your access to BigQuery is disabled, it's likely that your work (e.g., Capstone project) on Looker dashboards will be lost. Additionally, Looker Studio typically has a 60-day expiration period, during which you won't be able to view anything on the dashboards. However, this can be resolved if you have BigQuery access at that time.
To avoid these issues, we recommend completing the Capstone project using your own accounts for BigQuery, in case you are working on Looker Studio. It's worth noting that your account may initially be in demo mode, which could introduce minor issues. To solve it, please be prepared to input your credit card details during the setup stage.
Official Turing College certificate*
The Turing College certificate can be issued upon the minimal completion of the core program. The core program part for each program is outlined in the table below:
Data Analytics | Learners started in 2023-01 and beyond:
Learners started in 2024-04 and beyond:
|
Data Science | Completion of at least 3 core modules |
Data Engineering | Completion of at least 3 core modules |
Web Development | Completion of at least 3 core modules |
Digital Marketing & Analytics | Completion of all core modules and at least one specialisation module |
Data Analytics | Digital Explorers II and Digital Explorers Iraq Edition | In order to get a Proof of Completion a learner is expected to complete at least 2 modules. In order to receive a Certificate - at least 4 modules |
Completion of 1 module |
You will get the certificate a few weeks after reaching the maximum access end in the platform.
If you wish to receive the certificate sooner, please note that it will only include sprints completed up to that point. Once a certificate is issued, it cannot be reissued to include additional sprints completed afterward.
