WeCloudData

I found the quality of instruction here to be quite good. It's mainly a follow-the-leader approach to learning business intelligence skills, whereby you rebuild professional grade, reverse engineered dashboards in Excel, Tableau, and Power BI from scratch.... Read More I don't mind this approach myself, and there's lots of helpful advice from the instructors, who tend to be moonlighting industry professionals as opposed to teachers by trade. That's a good thing; you'll pick up lots of good advice from the field along the way. However, if you prefer a more creative approach to learning based on by designing and building your own projects, you won't find much of that here. SQL is approached differently, with students expected to try to figure out potential solutions before answers are discussed. There is a brief introduction to python, just enough to let give you a sense of what it's about, but not enough that you could really claim it as a practical skill. Class size in my cohort was comfortably small, about 10 people.
By default, a portion of the tuition is intended to cover career services, but I didn't feel like I got much value out of this aspect. They make an effort to pair you with a paid mentor from the industry, but in my experience it's more about cheerleading and less about practical advice. I didn't even get a review of my resume, even after specifically asking for one. If you sign up, consider negotiating a discount on your tuition in exchange for opting out of post-graduation job support.
By itself, this course probably isn't enough to land you a job (I haven't found one, several months later), but if you already have a degree and and/or a bit of experience with data, then it's a nice feather in your cap. It also qualifies you for discounts on WeCloudData's other programs in data science and data engineering if you choose to pursue that route.

I recently completed a business intelligence bootcamp with WeCloudData, and I can confidently say it was an incredible experience. The curriculum was well-structured, covering essential topics like SQL, Python and data visualization.

The instructors were... Read More knowledgeable and supportive, always available to answer questions and provide guidance. I appreciated the hands-on projects that allowed me to apply what I learned in real-world scenarios. This practical experience was invaluable in building my confidence and skills.

The community aspect of WeCloudData is another highlight. Networking opportunities with peers and industry professionals were plentiful, and I felt well-prepared to enter the job market after completing the program.

Overall, I highly recommend WeCloudData to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of business intelligence and analytics. It’s a great investment in your future career!

My background is in Architecture. I discovered WeCloudData through Google and LinkedIn, and I was impressed by their network and real-client projects. I decided to enroll in the full-time Data Science Bootcamp. I really liked the structure of the program,... Read More which progressed from basic to intermediate to advanced, was practical, and very intensive, usually requiring 10 to 12 hours of work per day over the course of around four months.
Upon graduating, I had achieved advanced levels in SQL, Python, and Machine Learning, and completed several projects using these tools. I then worked on two real-client projects with amazing teams who had a lot of experience. I also joined the mentorship program for six months.
Finally, I have just landed a data-related job. The entire process took around 14 months, which exceeded my expectations. I am very grateful to the crew at WeCloudData.

I’m thankful and grateful for all the instructors and their efforts especially Shaohua for helping us in a lot of things from sharing his experience, preparing for the interviews, getting feedback of resume, and more. Actually, when I applied for this... Read More bootcamp, I had zero experience with anything related to data engineering. I tried to learn by myself but I got lost and didn’t know where to start. So after this bootcamp, I built a strong foundation in data engineering. And the most thing I liked about it, is doing many projects to gain experience. I’m confident now about my knowledge in DE, and it just left to me to practice more.

I had an incredible experience at this data science bootcamp! Coming in with no prior knowledge, I was amazed at how quickly I gained a solid understanding of the field. The curriculum is intensive and hands-on, allowing me to learn real, applicable skills... Read More through working on real client projects. The staff are exceptionally supportive and always ready to help. This bootcamp truly transformed my career path, and I couldn't be more grateful for the knowledge and confidence I've gained.

I have an Engineering degree but have been running my own 'non-tech' business for over 15 years. I got interested in Machine Learning and Data Science after we sold our business. WeCloudData's Data Science Bootcamp allowed me to get up to speed with skill... Read More that are desirable in current job Market.

The Bootcamp is intense. You need to do it full-time. Students should do their assignments and use the opportunity to practice presentation skills. The TAs are great and are very responsive. Assignments and projects are challenging so look through the curriculum and make a plan.

After the course work is finished, you get two job placements in the industry. This is the feature that separates WeCloudData from the other bootcamps. Placements get your foot in the door. TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE of this. Look at it as a 3 month interview to showcase your abilities. Go above and beyond and you may get an offer (like I did).

Sure there are many improvements that could be done to improve the delivery of the material. However, as a result oriented person, WeCloudData delivered on its promise. 5 stars based on results.

My experience was awesome. I was taught by professional data engineers who shared their insights based on their professional experience. The topics covered are relevant to what employers are looking for and I enjoyed hands-on projects. I learned all the... Read More skills I needed to be a data engineer and I got a full-time offer as a data engineer, thanks to the mentors from WecloudData. I highly recommend this program. I was able to land interviews at Amazon, Yelp, CI Financial e.t.c
