Basecamp

Doing the Basecamp data science bootcamp was a gerat decision, because it brought me a long way in the space of only two months and I am so much more confident with data and machine learning now. This is all thanks to the patience and encouragement of Juraj and the other mentors. Topics were taught by experts in their respective fields and were taught in an engaging way. Even though some of the topics were difficult to grasp, Juraj went out of his way to make sure we understood the most important points. I really enjoyed it and I have taken so much away from the experience.

Attend Basecamp.ai Spring 2019 class. Curriculum is excellent and aligned with industry needs. Almost all the instructors are exceptionally good, and what is important they are Data Science practitioners, not only lecturers. Some Python knowledge is highly recommended before applying, otherwise you may have trouble keeping track with exercises for curriculum that covers such a long list of subjects.

Recommended.

I am coming from geoscience background and by taking part in this bootcamp wanted to make a career change. It has been intense 8 weeks,  great curriculum as in the selection of topics, right mix of practice vs lecture and finally the project at the end of the course.

 I really recommend it to anyone who is looking for a course with a full coverage experience in Data Science. Now I am confident to make the switch.

Basecamp was overall great! The instructors were very knowledgeable and easy-going, they were all very excited to teach. I couldn’t believe a few weeks into the program how much I had learned. The selection of topics was great, as well as the balance between theory and practice

The small class size allows for very attentive mentoring. The final project is a great way to get some exposure to real data and dive deeper into some topics.

In my opinion the intense 8 weeks of training are equivalent to some 2 years of moocs and online training (of course one has to work hard). I would definitely recommend Basecamp to anyone starting a career in data science!

During the bootcamp we interacted with data scientists inside and outside the class, this was a great opportunity to get to know people and learn about their day to day as data scientists. Basecamp is a great way to learn a lot, have some fun and get to know the charming Bratislava.

I had to quit my job to participate in the Basecamp. I was aware that it was a risk because it was the first batch of the Basecamp but I did not regret it at all. Overall, I really enjoyed the Basecamp experience! It helped me bridge the gap between the online courses and the first job. Above all the final project was great. It was not just another toy exercise but a collaboration with a start-up including their real world data. In the end, this was the key to get the my first job as a data scientist. And I was even lucky to meet my future employer at the hiring day. I can imagine that the next batches will be even better.
