Review-Introduction to Python for Data Science
The course was very insightful with the basics of Python and Pandas library covered in detail within only 24 hours. Throughout the course, the instructors was clearly explaining all the concepts and possible applications of them and enough time was provided to us to put the theory into practice.
I recommend this course to anyone interested in data science but also to advisors and analysts who want to take a deeper dive in the data analysis world. - MinosGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp • OnlineNov 21, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Challenging, demanding and absolutely rewarding Data Science Bootcamp
3 months of learning new concepts not only by participating in the daily lectures but mainly by applying everything you have learned on real data.
This process challenges each participant to start thinking and acting like a data scientist.
By the end of this Data Science Bootcamp everyone has gained fundamental skills and also confidence to work with data independently. - IoannisGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp • OnlineJul 30, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great support
The data science bootcamp has equipped me with the tools and skills I needed to advance in the field. Not only were the instructors and staff great and supportive, but the atmosphere was so immersive and amazing! The live-online program felt like a real in-person class. If you're willing to put in all the required work, you'll develop a nice project portfolio to showcase during your job interviews. - ChristosGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp • OnlineJul 12, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Very solid curriculum
An all around course. Great assistance even if you don't have the required background. All tutors are very good at their subjects, maybe i would prefer not changing instructor so often or having smaller groups in every class (mine was 17 people) but overall very well prepared and helpful course.
