As a student I found the entire course to be beneficial in building my knowledge over python, visualization tools, machine learning, neural networks etc. Furthermore, every weekly project and the final big project(with a partner company) added valuable experience to my journey. All instructors in Big Blue are acclaimed in their domain, with a prestigious career in EU companies and they provided all the support and guidance we needed. Last but not least, I was happy to have 2 job offers, even before the ending of the bootcamp and at the moment I work as a mid-senior Data Analyst! - MaroGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInAug 06, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Valuable knowledge
The bootcamp was everything I could ask for. Experienced instructors and everyone is always available to help. But the most important part that made this bootcamp stand out is the everyday and weekly application of everything we had already learned, plus the final project, that we worked for a company's project. Also, the classes about the soft skills were especially helpful. - ThanosGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInApr 28, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

However, the final project felt much more advanced compared to what we covered in class, and there was limited support from the instructors at that stage. While this made the project quite challenging, the overall experience was still valuable for building essential skills.

Industry-Focused Education
The Data Analytics Bootcamp at Big Blue Data Academy was a game-changer for me. The course is well-rounded, covering everything from data manipulation with Python (including JSON, NumPy, and Pandas) to advanced data cleaning and exploratory data analysis. We also dove into tools like Power BI, SQL for relational databases, and even modern topics like APIs, web scraping, and NoSQL databases like MongoDB.

What really stood out, though, was the chance to learn from a diverse group of instructors, each with deep expertise in their fields. They didn’t just teach us the technical skills; they gave us real insights into what it's like to work as a data analyst day-to-day. This made the learning process much more relatable and helped bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Overall, the bootcamp was intense but incredibly rewarding. The mix of practical skills, expert guidance, and real-world applications left me feeling confident and well-prepared to step into a data analytics role.

The curriculum starts with basics like data structures, Python programming, SQL, shell commands (which might feel slow for those with prior knowledge) and gradually progresses to more advanced tools and ETL processes.
Theory is always paired with hands-on exercises and real-world use cases, pushing students out of their comfort zones, which helps develop a problem-solving mindset. The instructors are attentive, regularly circulating the classroom to address any issues and are always available to answer questions.
Additionally, the bootcamp offers valuable job assistance after completion, including career tips, how to better showcase your skills and growing your professional network.
Overall, this bootcamp offers a comprehensive and structured approach to Data Engineering, with support before, during and after the course, though it's important to be prepared for its intensive nature. - Evelyn ChatziStudent • Data Analytics Bootcamp • OnlineJul 27, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
