    Career-boosting AI training

    My journey with NYC Data Science Academy began in 2018 when I enrolled in their Data Science and Machine Learning bootcamp. As a Biology PhD looking to transition into Data Science, this bootcamp became a pivotal moment in my career. Within two months of completing the program, I received offers from two different groups at JPMorgan Chase. Over the next five years, I was promoted to Vice President and Data Scientist Lead, where I developed personalized financial insights that were integr...

    Landed my dream job and salary

    I decided to do NYCDSA after I spent about a year trying to learn data science on my own in my free time and began feeling like I'd never get it. I did the Data Science with Machine Learning Bootcamp online. I was pretty overwhelmed by the intensity of the coursework that I was watching in the video classes. I found watching the lectures and learning from them to be difficult. However, NYCDSA is extremely project based. So once I started doing the projects, the things I was learning in t...

    Empowering, Fulfilling, Satisfying

    I recently completed the MLops course and it was an amazing experience. This course provided me with a comprehensive introduction to ML systems in production. With hands-on experience in using Python, Docker, Kubernetes, Google Cloud, and various open-source tools, I was able to bring different components of an ML system to life and set up real, automated infrastructure.

    From the getgo this program sets you up to succeed. They can be a little critical and harsh sometimes, but I promise they want nothing more than for you to do the best you can. As long as you communicate your issues, they will work with you no matter what. I couldn't have asked for a more supportive team of instructors. They also have a dedicated lifelong team that helps you meet with and explore whatever professional options you'd like. They're also the only nationally accredited progra...

    Very helpful for getting a foothold in a tough NY job market

    Coming from a traditional education background, I was skeptical about the usefulness of any boot camp for transitioning into the data science industry.  In addition, the boot camp is pricey, making one think long and hard about joining, especially in the current economy.  Thus it was a tough decision to attend NYC DSA, but so far, I'm glad that I did. 

    I would say that there are three key advantages that NYC DSA has over its competitors: (i) The quality of the curriculum, (ii) Ess...

    The experience in NYC Data Science Academy was life changing for me. Prior to NYC data science academy, I was a Business Analyst at an insuretech firm where I had almost none exposure to coding, programming, not to mention machine learning.

    The instructors are extremely professional and helpful. I was able to get hired in 3 months after graduation!

    Data Science Manager

    I made the choice to participate in the 3-month intensive bootcamp back in the summer of 2016 at NYC Data Science Academy, after an uneasy career decision to switch from chemical engineering to the burgeoning field of data science.

    The journey begins with Google Search. The brand stood out in search results so I paid a visit physically then. To be frank, I was a little concerned if I was able to go through the bootcamp as I was fresh out of school and have little exposure at schoo...

    I'd gladly recommend NYC Data Science Academy's 12 week Data Science with Machine Learning course.  I took this course in the Fall of 2021 and got a job offer as a data analyst just 2.5 months after graduating.

    The teaching is high quality and the tutors are always available and ready to help.  Vivian, Courtney, Royce, and so many others were incredibly helpful.

    Data Science Fellow

    I recently completed the Data Science (ML) Bootcamp at NYC Data Science Academy. I already had a bit of a coding background from my Ph.D. program, but I didn't have the industry-centered DS/ML experiences. I chose NYCDSA because they teach all three of the data science tools used in the industry (SQL, Python, and R). 

    I enjoyed and learned a lot from the lectures. Some lectures (~5%) were taught by a new teacher, so it was a little bit unprepared, but the other 95% of ...
