Assessment & Credentials

Both providers offer explicit assessment mechanisms for their credentials in their own words:

• 365 Data Science: The curriculum lists a "Course exam". The provider states: "Pass the course exam and showcase your certificate to demonstrate your qualifications to potential employers."
• DeepLearning.AI: The provider lists “4 Graded Assignments”, with Week 1–4 quizzes in its curriculum data. Its FAQ describes paid certificate eligibility. This is the stated assessment mechanism; no separate proctored-exam claim is made. DeepLearning.AI course

Payment scope

Because the access scopes are distinct, there is no assumed total completion cost for either path. The publisher FAQ describes the Coursera route at USD 49 for 180 days of certificate eligibility. Its separate Pro offer is also displayed on the page; this comparison uses the FAQ’s Coursera route and does not assign that price to Pro. DeepLearning.AI course

365 Data Science utilizes a subscription model granting access to their entire platform. The FAQ quotes USD 29/month. The page separately displays a USD 36/month reference price and USD 12.50/month billed annually promotional offer. These are distinct observations; the annual-billing monthly equivalent is not a monthly payment option. 365 pricing
