Data Science & AI bootcamp | Online, part-time Reviews

I really enjoyed the data science boot camp. I started with zero experience in coding and university-level knowledge of maths. So it was a very tough 6 months run, but the teachers and managers at Le Wagon are very useful and they make sure you keep up the speed. I think what I liked the most was the project month. You come together with a bunch of other students and you have to develop an idea and create a product. It was amazing and I learned a lot!

The Bootcamp provides an amazing entry into the world of Data Science It is a very fast paced learning journey for which the student must be well structured and willing to commit the time every day, every week and every month. However, the staff and other students made the experience as awesome as it was, as everybody was very dedicated and helpful all the time. I couldn't have wished for a better start into Data Science

High quality material, extremely well explained and all the challenges were really well guided. I truly believe the investment will pay off. As an undergraduate Data Science and Computing student, I can assure I've learnt more from Le Wagon than from my university. No doubt this bootcamp was the best thing I've done in a long time. I would highly recommend for anyone, especially the part-time model.

I could not express how disappointed I am at the very end of this boot camp. Before I paid for this boot camp, I was fascinated by the tons of good comments from different platforms, but after the start of the batch, I was shocked by its way of instruction. Previously I thought the courses were given live online. Still, all the courses regarding different topics are pre-recorded and you have to go through all the materials alone and finish the challenges after the lecture. This way of learning is very unfriendly to beginners and highly depressing and frustrating. Although they claim to have TAs to answer your questions, they are only available for a set period of time, and you have to wait for a long time to get some confusing answers which you could figure out the solutions to by googling (Now thanks to ChatGPT, you could get the answer for free immediately from OpenAI). As for their challenges, some functions and expressions used to solve them are not mentioned at all in the recordings, which means you need to spend extra time searching for the hints. My suggestion for those who consider registering for this program is to learn from those fantastic free resources on the YouTube channel. Those professors and coders from top world universities and tech giants explain the terms and algorithms much better and clearer than those half-amateurs and TAs who are only good at pushing you to finish the challenges. During this boot camp, I got extremely frustrated. Finally, I gave up learning by copying and pasting the code from the answers to deal with urges from those TAs who really don’t care about whether you have really understood and learned something at all. Ironically, right now, I learn happily and gradually, finding my confidence back from the Data Camp from which the cheat sheets given to students by their instructors come, and their cost is only 1/600 of this terrible boot camp. This awful boot camp definitely doesn’t worth that high price. With the help of ChatGPT and Google, I definitely believe there remain many much better choices than this one. Don’t spend your precious time and money on this program to torture yourself.
