"I took the part-time DATA SCIENCE/MACHINE LEARNING course...it was a great educational experience for an interested beginner and career transitioner myself. Highly recommend :-)"
the course was 12 two -hour sessions meeting biweekly. Michal Szczecinski, the head of data at HK-based unicorn GOGOVAN was a great instructor. Funny guy too! He made the lesson fun and the beginners like us. Case studies and datasets were discussed in... Read More

"one day crash course"
I have to say it provides beyond my expectation, it truly helps for both python beginners and intermediates. Dr Chris provides an introduction of practical use of regression, classification, and pandas in python. We can keep practice afterward as well... Read More
Thanks for coming to the crash course! We hope you were able to take away some concepts that will help you pursue further education in this realm.

"Course review"
good for Python beginner to learn from scratch. Air conditioning at training centre needs improvement.
Thanks for joining the one day crash course! We will make sure to let the venue staff know about the aircon for the next one. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Data Science & Python Crash Course
"One-day workshop about data science"
The tutor is very knowledgeable. Yet, I am an absolute beginner and still think hard for me to catchup.
Hello! The one day crash course is a newer offering for us (at the time of this post). We are looking to address the demand for a quick informational class that helps students know what they don't know and pursue topics deeper afterwards. Clearly we still... Read More

"Rich Contents, But may be a bit difficult for beginner"
The workshop about Machine Learning is rich in the contents. It provides preliminary aspects on the Python Library for machine learning. It also provides opportunities for learners to practice.
But one thing is that the machine learning part involves quite... Read More
Hi! Thanks for coming to the crash course. We will continue to refine it and turn it into a very informational session that will help students get a better grasp of the realm of data science. Do let us know if you would like to attend the next one, on... Read More

I joined the full-time Xccelerate data scientist boot camp a few months ago, which I am glad that I did. I was under a major career change from hospitality management, left the industry with uncertainty, I saw the opportunity of data science/analysis... Read More

"Great Bootcamp!"
4 months sounds like a short time to kickstart a new career. However Xccelerate really made it possible for me.
I joined this bootcamp with minimal coding knowledge and came out feeling confident and driven.
Great course, great instructors and great classmates.... Read More

Michal is a dedicated teacher who both fundamentally solid and likable, and his general knowledge is definately sound.
We had great discussions and feedback sessions.
We were definately pushed into learning (could have easily shirked... Read More

"Solid Introduction to Data Science"
Pros:
+ Knowledgable and outgoing instructor whose passion for the topic is infectious.
+ Helpful feedback on projects.
+ Solid amount of course and reference material.
+ Open environment - Free flow of questions and ideas.
+ Students equally curious about... Read More
Cons:
- Course length is too short to teach substantially on any one topic. More of an introduction to all the tools and steps of a data project.
- A lot of outside work is needed to keep pace.
- Not enough time spent on deeper topics such as Applying Statistic and Machine Learning.
We were fortunate to have had Michal as our instructor. Very personable and knowledgable. Unfortunately, the course length decided by Xccelerate was too short. Not recommended for those with exposure to the topic. Xccelerate should rename this course as 'Intro to Data Science' or make the course longer. Alternatively, create an intermediate level course with light pre-reqs (such as completing Xccelerate's programming course) so the time can be spent purely on data science.
This course, however, was good for those with little-to-no experience/exposure to Data and wants an introduction!
Thanks for the good vibes, Patrick! Glad you had a good experience.
