Data science bootcamp as it should be
It is intense, even at part time but with 500 hours later you really feel like a data scientist that can tackle anything thrown at you.The curriculum is full stuck but you might need a bit of extra work on your own depending on your background. Most of the instructors are simply great and a mix of teachers and practitioners at the same time. - Maria VasilakiGraduate • Data Analytics Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubJul 07, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A choice you won't regret!
Coming from a background that had nothing to do with the world of data, Big Blue helped me from scratch to acquire knowledge and skills in the field of data analysis. By my side I had professional teachers data scientists who tried to keep the right balance between theory and practice. For anyone interested in dealing with the world of data, I would unreservedly recommend Big Blue to take this journey together. - Kyriakos LiapisFinancial Analyst • Graduate • Data Analytics Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubJun 29, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The overall program is well equipped with all the appropriate tools and bibliography so that you can use onwards on your own in order to do your own analysis, create your code and start experiment in the depth of data science. Personally I chose the specific programm to bridge finance with BI and I can say that I more than happy because now I have the appropriate data set of skills so I can transform financial data into meaningfull dashboards and visualizations for the C-level management and other key stakeholders in my organization. I highly recommend the program for beginners as well as for intermediate learners. - Nikolas MargosAccount Manager • Graduate • Data Science Bootcamp (Part-Time) • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJun 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A fast paced , theoretical & hands on experience
I'll write this under the lens of someone that had some basic programming experience and did a solid review of math (algebra, calculus etc) for 2 months before initiating the Data Science bootcamp.
For an optimum experience and to get the most out of it since it is fast paced, my advise is to 1) have dipped your foot in most of the concepts beforehand and 2) spend personal time reviewing the exercises and theory behind each lesson.
I liked the cohesion of the lessons; theo...I'll write this under the lens of someone that had some basic programming experience and did a solid review of math (algebra, calculus etc) for 2 months before initiating the Data Science bootcamp.
For an optimum experience and to get the most out of it since it is fast paced, my advise is to 1) have dipped your foot in most of the concepts beforehand and 2) spend personal time reviewing the exercises and theory behind each lesson.
I liked the cohesion of the lessons; theory was presented by the instructors along with code along and then relevant exercises students had to do to practice. Instructors and teaching assistants were available throughout the exercise time. Instructors were experienced individuals currently working as data scientists/engineers, which gave further weight to advise and guidance on best practices.
Following the advise above, you'll end the bootcamp with a solid foundational understanding and practical application of data science concepts and algorithms, programming languages such as python and SQL, and valuable experience from a hands on portfolio project with a company.
For someone that may have seen various tutorials online, and wants to take a step in the field and does not know how to do it, doing the bootcamp is a solid choice. - Michalis GavrilakisGraduate • Data Analytics Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJun 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

From the very beginning, the instructors demonstrated their expertise and passion for the subject matter. They had a deep understanding of data analytics concepts and were able to convey complex ideas in a clear and concise manner. Their teaching style was engaging, and they encouraged active participation from all the participants. The instructors tried to keep the right balance between theory and hands-on practice, allowing us to apply the concepts we learned. Nevertheless, our practical exposure to tools such as Python, R, SQL, and Power BI prepared us for the demands of the industry. For all the above, I highly recommend this data analytics bootcamp to anyone seeking to enhance their skills in this rapidly evolving field. - Αντώνιος ΖορμπαλάςGraduate • Data Analytics Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJun 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
