Hear from Our Students

This course is perfect for anyone trying to scale up in the industry. The classes are well structured and helped me in preparing for my DASCA certification exams.​ For me, this course was worth every penny, and I am pleased with its versatility. We were able to touch on neural networks with Keras and TF2. ​It further boosted my confidence in having a firm data science and analytics foundation and rekindled my desire to learn.​ I enjoyed my time here and will recommend it to anybody interested in learning more about data science and analytics.

Michael

I enrolled myself in September for the Data Science and Analytics Bootcamp. From the beginning I was given great support by my Academic Advisor(Harris) who walked me through the dashboard and some really great features it had. The course content was self-explanatory and having no background in coding I was a bit scared in the beginning but with the help of my mentor I was able to learn quickly. Though there was a rough patch initially, but everything worked out for the best because of the quick responsiveness of the support staff. The sessions provided hands-on ​learning experience with an industry expert who guided us throughout the journey. I am really pleased and would recommend people to enroll for this bootcamp if they are looking for a career enhancement/change.​​
