This short course helps you build and validate ML-ready data pipelines with confidence. You’ll start by learning how to design ETL workflows that ingest, clean, and partition large datasets using tools like Airflow and Spark. You’ll see how real teams manage click-stream logs, handle nulls, and prepare partitioned training data at scale. Next, you’ll evaluate data quality, governance, and lineage so your pipelines remain trustworthy and reproducible. You’ll work with practical techniques like schema drift checks, expectations suites, and audit-ready lineage records. Through short videos, applied readings, hands-on practice, and a final graded assessment, you’ll walk away knowing how to engineer reliable pipelines and validate them for production use.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
