DataCamp is available with eligible Visual Studio Subscriptions and Visual Studio Dev Essentials memberships as a professional development benefit. It provides access to interactive courses that help you build data science and analytics skills using technologies such as Python, SQL, and machine learning.
This benefit provides two- or three-month access to DataCamp’s online learning platform, depending on your subscription type. The level of access is comparable to a DataCamp Premium individual subscription, with all learning tracks. AI Native courses are available with limited usage based on available credits, which are tracked in your DataCamp account.
