The Best Miami Beach Coding Bootcamps Of 2024

Transform To The Data Science Journey

I recently graduated from BrainStation's online 12 week Data Science Bootcamp, and the experience was nothing short of transformative. Coming from a primarily accounting background with little to no prior experience in tech, I was slightly nervous about starting my tech journey. You could even say I felt a little like Nemo swimming on and trying to find his way in a new world. However, the bootcamp’s structure and hands-on approach gave excellent exposure to the tools and concepts used in industry, which naturally provided many "aah Dory! I got it!" moments and boosted my confidence about the transition into Data Science.

 

 

The curriculum was very well-organized, starting with foundational concepts in SQL and Python (Data Analytics) and gradually building toward more complex topics statistical modeling and eventually Machine Learning modelling. Toward the end of the camp, we got exposure to Big Data and Cloud Computing services like Amazon Web Services (AWS). The camp also starts you on a capstone project that culminates at the end of the camp where you present to your peers, educators, and other industry professionals. I was really pleased to have the challenge of creating a capstone project with using a lot of the concepts/skills that you learn along the way. I now have the project on my GitHub, which BrainStation walks you through setting up (not as easy as it seems) and I'm looking to develop the project further in addition to adding many more to my first ever GitHub account! The camp is truly awesome at allowing you many opportunities to apply the new skills you learn to real-world scenarios, that includes my capstone project on surge pricing for rideshare drivers, which I’m particularly proud of : ).

 

 

The educators, Laura Cornejo Paulino, Borna Ghotbi, and Stephen Savchik along with the career services team Nikki Daye, Vasti Marcelo, and Annette Sayre are all top tier rockstar people, super knowledgeable, responsive, and they enhanced the entire experience for me and our cohort from week 1 to 12. The career preparation support is also amazing and I've been really grateful for all the best practice advice and teachings from the team, from mock interviews, LinkedIn polishing, GitHub polishing, to resume reviews, which helped me feel more ready to enter the job market. The program is definitely intense! ..., but the sense of accomplishment I feel made it worthwhile. For anyone considering a career pivot into data science, I highly recommend BrainStation's bootcamp—are you up for the challenge???

Fue una experiencia enriquecedora, un cambio de carrera y con apoyo en todo momento. El metodo de enseñanza es práctico e innovador con ejercicios reales. Las mentorias externas son las mejores, los profesores saben y estan dispuestos a enseñar.

I attended online courses through VET TEC. A lot of information comes at you in a short amount of time so it is imperative that you make sure to set back plenty of time to study and you will leave this course with a lot of knowledge and the ability to jump into a forever growing industry. They have fantastic instructors, my instructors were Andrew Cichewics and Carlos, but worked with Luis through work shops a few times . Andrew is an extremely knowledgeable instructor that is able to bring a ton of real world experience into the instruction that is extremely helpfully in breaking down some of the material. He has a great upbeat personality that keeps you focused on what is being taught. He truly cares about his students success and will do everything he can to help you grow if you put in the effort. Everything can be said the same for Carlos. Although he is a newer instructor to be, he was always able to jump right in showing is vast knowledge with in the field and gave a lot of insight into his experiences. I also want to give a shout out to Kara Arguello, student services, who was always there to assist and kept me informed of any work shops that were taking place. Kara's constant communication through email kept me up to date with everything available and was appreciated even though I was not able to take advantage of as many work shops as I would have liked to. Overall, fantastic experience and would take it again just to retain even more knowledge. Finally, I would like to take this time to just give a huge thanks to the entire team I have had the pleasure of interacting with throughout this course. THANK YOU!!!

Great instructors who are willing to help you thrive and learn, friends with them on LinkedIn, they would answer my many questions without being bothered, truly want to see you thrive, my career  coach Cachet was amazing and supportive, Javier the career advisor helped me out greatly, was always available to text or call about it and put in a nice review and word in for me that I feel guaranteed me my 1st job (that I got 1 day before the program ended). It does not guarantee job placement, BUT they do provide the necessary skills and traits to be able to land a job and the fundamental knowledge to be able to succeed.
