Absolutely not!

Don't let the thought of technology stress you out. This course is designed for psychology students and researchers, and we'll be starting from the very basics of programming. You don't need any prior experience in coding to be able to keep up with the class. Our youngest student was 14 years old and had never coded before, and they were able to understand and follow along just fine. You got this!

Don't worry if math or stats aren't your strong suit - you won't need to do any calculations in this course! Having some familiarity with statistical concepts and terms can be helpful, but it's not a requirement. You'll be able to follow along just fine!

Yes. Upon completion of a paid BehaviourGuide Academy course, you will receive a certificate of completion that you can share with your friends, relatives, co-workers and potential employers. It's important to note that while our certificate is a valuable addition to your resume, it cannot be used for formal accreditation or university credit. BehaviourGuide Academy is not an accredited institution. If you are looking for a formal accreditation, you will need to attend a traditional university education which may require a significant amount of time and money. The average cost of a Masters degree in the UK is £8,740 and a year of your life. However, our certificate is a great way to demonstrate your dedication to learning and professional development without the added cost and time commitment.

Upon completion of all the lessons, your certificate will automatically be generated for you. If you have any issues, please reach out to us at connect@behaviourguide.com and request your certificate. We will verify your progress before issuing it to you. So you don't have to worry, just sit back and relax, we got you covered.

To get the most out of this course, it's important to remember that simply watching the 30 video lessons isn't enough. You'll need to actively practice what you've learned on your own computer and work with different datasets. Think of it like learning to swim - watching someone demonstrate the technique on a video is helpful, but you won't truly learn until you get in the pool and practice for yourself. Our advice for students is to watch each video, pause to practice on your own computer, and then move on to the next lesson. This way you'll be able to absorb the information better and retain it for longer.

This course is designed for psychologists who want to use machine learning in their research, rather than for computer scientists or data scientists who need a deeper understanding of the math and algorithms behind the models. Think of it like a photography course where we will teach you how to take better shots with a camera, rather than how the camera works. We will cover enough information for you to use machine learning models to analyze your data without delving into the technical details. If you are looking for a career in data science or computer science with companies like Netflix or Amazon, it is recommend to pursue a full-fledged University education. This course is designed to provide you with the knowledge you need as a psychologist to implement machine learning in your research projects.

If you have any doubts, suggestions, questions or require support from the tutor, please do not hesitate to post it on our facebook community for faster response. Alternatively, you can reach out to us via email at support@behaviourguide.com. Please provide as much detail as possible, including the code (not the screenshot of it) if the issue is related to a code error. We will do our best to respond to your request within 3 business days. Please note that we do not work on weekends. That said, Chandril keeps student experience a priority. So sometimes, on prior request he is more than happy to offer a doubt clearance session (one to one) depending on his availabilities for free. But please note such 1-to-1 session is offered out of goodwill voluntarily and is not what you are paying for in this course.

There's a reason for that. Rather than providing you with the demo datasets, we want to encourage you to practice using your own datasets. We have found that when students have access to the same datasets as the instructor, they tend to stick to what they know and do not push themselves to try new things. Our goal is to help you develop the skills to apply what you've learned to different situations and datasets. This will make the learning experience more challenging and ultimately lead to more confident graduates. Trust us, the extra effort is worth it in the end!

That said, if you need dataset from us then please let us know. We will help you.

While this book offers a foundational grasp, its 150 pages can only cover so much, leaving vital elements essential for hands-on applications unaddressed. To bridge this gap and turn theoretical understanding into actionable projects, I've crafted a premium course (https://machinelearning.behaviourguide.com/) tailored for those eager to delve deeper.

This course empowers you to confidently integrate Python and machine learning into your CV, and to craft a compelling online portfolio of psychological data analysis projects.

These aren't mere achievements or credentials. They are tangible assets that position you prominently in your field. With these skills, you gain a competitive edge in the job market, significantly enhance your opportunities for publications and funding, and ensure you remain at the forefront of your discipline, never missing out on pivotal advancements.
