Chartered Fintech Professional (CFtP) Level 1B Training Module 2: Big Data and Data Science

Module 2 covers Big Data and Data Science. Big Data describes the massive amounts of data that are being generated and collected every day. This data can be structured, semi-structured, or unstructured, and it can come from a variety of sources, such as social media, sensors, and financial transactions. Data Science is a field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from data, which is often used in conjunction with Big Data to gain insights that would not be possible with traditional data analysis methods. Big data and data science are becoming increasingly important for Fintech professionals because they offer a number of potential benefits, including:
• Improved decision-making - big data can be used to analyse large amounts of data to identify trends and patterns that would not be visible with traditional data analysis methods. This information can then be used to make better decisions about investments, risk management, and customer service.
• Increased efficiency - big data can be used to automate tasks, such as processing transactions and risk assessments. This can free up staff time to focus on more strategic activities.
• Enhanced customer service - big data can be used to better understand customer needs and preferences. This information can then be used to personalise products and services, which can lead to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.

This module provides an overview of the key concepts and terminology related to Big Data and Data Science. It also discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with these two fields.
