WBS CODING SCHOOL

I recently completed the Digital Product Design Bootcamp with WBS and loved it. Even tho I worked as a UX/UI Designer before I did learn so much and could deepen my skills and knowledge a lot.

WBS CODING SCHOOL // Data Science Bootcamp I participated in the 4-month-long hybrid Data Science Bootcamp. Overall, it was a great learning experience that solidified my Python knowledge, taught me SQL basics and a variety of data new data analysis techniques.... Read More -Summary- + great for newbies and people with some prior experience alike + good teachers, live lectures, very good online learning material + learn meaningful and up-to-date data science skills + Campus Phase rocks + very helpful WBS staff - many teachers don't have tech industry background - no tight networking opportunities within the tech industry -Previous Knowledge- I have a PhD in marine science and had quite a bit of previous experience in statistical programming with R as well as a little bit of Python experience. Therefore, the first couple of weeks were rather slow for me. However, after roughly 4-5 weeks, the pace started picking up and I felt thoroughly challenged. -Curriculum- The curriculum is project-based and hands-on, which is the right way of learning for me. You start a new project every 1-3 weeks. There are live lectures and coding lessons. We covered basic data analysis and visualization with Python and SQL, Cloud computing and data pipelines, web scraping and API calls, A/B Testing, Unsupervised and Supervised Machine Learning (Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines, etc.) and Recommender Systems. The only thing that was missing in the curriculum, in my opinion, was Deep Learning. The last 2.5 weeks are spent on a final project, either alone or in groups of 2-3 people. -Daily Learning- On a regular day, you would have some read-through material on the Online Learning Platform, followed by one or two lecture/coding sessions. The rest of the day is used for project work. By the end of the project, you usually present your work to the class. Students organize themselves during their projects. They can work together in Discord channels, or separately. They can use Github for collaborating or whichever other tool to facilitate exchange. How much you enjoy the learning journey depends a lot on your class mates and the group dynamic. -Campus Phase- Students can come to the WBS Campus to work on their final project (~1h South-East of Berlin Mitte). This has been the most fun part for me - I would recommend anyone to go if you have the chance. The bill is ~600,-€ for 11 nights of accommodation and 3 veggie meals per day. You can either pay it yourself or have it covered by the job center. -WBS Support- I've experienced the WBS CODING SCHOOL employees to be very helpful when it comes to organizing stuff. The job center had first declined my application for the campus phase. Together with the WBS staff, however, we were able to convince them to fund me. -Teachers' Expertise- The instructors I've had lessons with during the bootcamp were all knowledgable in the course material. They were also good at teaching and approachable, with some very few exceptions. However, they are certainly not all experts from the data science industry. The WBS website mislead me on this one, as many (perhaps most) instructors do in fact not have industry experience. That doesn't make them bad teachers, but it still put me off, as I'd expected industry expertise. -Career Opportunities- There is a Career Service that offers online learning material, three mandatory daily workshops throughout the bootcamp, a CV, CL and LinkedIn screening and a one-time career advice session. The workshops helped me a lot to brush up my profile. The only thing I'm missing is - again - a tighter connection to the industry. There are guest talks by people working in tech, but that's pretty much it. I would appreciate it if the final projects were presented not only to WBS peers, but also company representatives. This would encourage networking and job finding for graduates. Many thanks to the WBS CODING SCHOOL. Keep up the good work!

I recently completed a the WBS fullstack web development bootcamp, and my overall experience was positive. From mastering basic HTML and CSS to confidently creating projects with a MERN tech stack, I've come a long way. Throughout the journey, I sensed... Read More the genuine efforts, passion, and empathy of all the bootcamp's employees, which significantly contributed to the learning environment. The commitment and enthusiasm of the staff were evident, and their empathetic approach toward beginner coders created a supportive atmosphere. I truly believe that the passion of the team played a crucial role in making the learning journey enjoyable and effective. One noteworthy aspect that stood out was the last two weeks we spent together in Berlin. Being physically present and engaging with instructors and peers in person added a valuable dimension to the overall educational journey. Despite these positive elements, there are areas where WBS could improve. The instructor-dependent nature of the program, without a standardized teaching approach, occasionally led to variations in the learning experience. Balancing the emphasis on independent learning with more instructor-led sessions would further enrich the educational experience. Additionally, while the promises made about job market prospects were somewhat exaggerated in my opinion, the bootcamp's dedication to addressing this concern through career-focused events, especially the three career days, was commendable.

While the intensity of the program was demanding, it was also immensely rewarding. The bootcamp covered a wide range of subjects, and at times, the pace felt quite brisk. There were instances where more time on certain topics would have been beneficial. However, the wealth of knowledge acquired was substantial, and the fast-paced nature ensured that I was always engaged and learning. One standout aspect of the bootcamp was the constant support available. Whether it was reaching out to the staff or instructors, there was always someone ready to assist. The sense of community fostered a collaborative learning environment, making the challenging journey more manageable. The Campus Phase in Berlin was a unique and unforgettable experience. Being immersed in a dedicated learning environment with peers and instructors created a strong sense of camaraderie. The hands-on approach during this phase provided practical insights that complemented the theoretical aspects of the course. In conclusion, I highly recommend the WBS Coding School Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp to anyone looking to venture into this field. The dedication of the staff, the accessible support system, and the immersive learning experiences make it a valuable choice for those seeking a career in web development. While it may be intense, the skills acquired and the connections made during this bootcamp are undoubtedly worth the effort.
