The curriculum and the professors are all top quality along with career assistant and job preparation elements that add tremendous value. The course covers in depth data analysis and machine learning, giving a broad range of skills and knowledge. Multiple hours of hands on practice with thoughtful guidance from the instructors. Allocated full days for project work on a team level, with presentation required at the end of the day. The big bonus at the end of the 2 months course: 4-weeks of project with a business on an actual business problem they want to tackle.
I am amazed with the skills I obtained in only 3 months. Outside from the super important technical aspect of the course, I learnt to work on a team, time management, project management, stakeholder management. Additionally, to learn how to work with main focus the business purpose and be able to explain a problem and its resolution, to people that aren’t heavily involved with it, it’s a life skill. Definitely recommend the Bootcamp!!- Stelios ChapsosGraduate • Data Analytics Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJul 26, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A Challenging Experience

If I had to make any changes, I would suggest to give some more time to the latest courses for better practise or some more problem solving together with the instructors.

Awesome Experience
Having recently completed the Data Analytics Bootcamp, I can safely say it is absolutely worth it!
The biggest advantage this bootcamp has is the intensive hands-on activities on all topics covered. It really helps you solidify the knowledge gained in the theory sections.
Plus, being taught by professionals who use these tools daily and can explain their thought process when handling an issue or suggest best practices is also very valuable.

The biggest advantage this bootcamp has is the intensive hands-on activities on all topics covered. It really helps you solidify the knowledge gained in the theory sections.
Plus, being taught by professionals who use these tools daily and can explain their thought process when handling an issue or suggest best practices is also very valuable.
The curriculum is also good, covering all the major topics someone needs to get into Data Analytics. A suggestion would be to split the classes into "beginners" and "familiar" with the concepts. I believe this will benefit both students and instructors, make the bootcamp run smoother and, be even more valuable.
Another benefit offered is career development services, which is also a great thing to have.
Be prepared to invest a significant amount of time and effort as it is an intensive program. When you cross the finish line though, you will feel many positive emotions so stick with it!
Overall, I would highly recommend the Data Analytics Bootcamp to anyone wanting to get into the field of Data. - Michalis KontisGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJul 22, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Demanding but ultimately very rewarding

Coming from a completely different (and not exactly relevant) background, I was only familiar with the basics of Python before starting. The curriculum, while intense and at times overwhelming, was incredibly well-structured and rewarding.The instructors were knowledgeable and very supportive, focusing more on practical application than theoretical teaching. Despite the challenges, they helped me progress and more importantly gain confidence. By the end of the bootcamp, I was able to grasp complex concepts and implement advanced data science techniques, showcasing the effectiveness of their teaching.Thus, if you're aiming to advance your expertise and pursue a career in Data Science I can't recommend Big Blue highly enough. The well-rounded curriculum and hands-on teaching style will give you the skills and confidence to thrive in the field of Data Science. - Panagiotis ApostolouGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJul 18, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I chose this program after a lot of research on how to advance my career, and data analytics seemed like the right path. Big Blue stood out with its unique features: expert instructors, career coaching, networking opportunities, CV improvement tips, daily hands-on practice, and more.
At first, it felt like climbing a mountain because I had little coding experience. But as the lessons progressed, everything started to make sense. The bootcamp introduces you to many industry tools, but how far you take them is up to you. The instructors were always there to answer questions, but they wouldn’t do the work for you. The program is designed to challenge you and teach you how to find solutions on your own.The toughest part for me was the beginning, learning to code with Python. There was so much to take in quickly. But as we moved forward, it got easier to follow, and I became more comfortable with the key concepts.
The biggest takeaways from the bootcamp are that I now know how to navigate the world of data analysis, which tools to use, and the importance of continuous learning in this fast-changing field. Plus, I made some great connections. I feel confident that I can get advice and guidance when I need it, and I trust that the academy will support me in my next steps.
In conclusion, the Data Analytics Bootcamp at Big Blue Data Academy has been a game-changer for me. Despite the challenges, I've gained valuable skills and confidence. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to boost their career in data analytics. It's intense but totally worth it!

This bootcamp is a great introductory course to gain an understanding of the technologies and processes involved in a Data Engineer's career. All the instructors were helpful and proactive, and made sure to ask each participant personally about any pending questions.

All the instructors were helpful and proactive, and made sure to ask each participant personally about any pending questions. There were a lot of hands on exercises, which is exactly what I was looking for and is necessary to fully grasp the concepts discussed in theory. However, if you already have a background in coding, the first 2-3 weeks may feel like a very slow start, because the course begins with very basic python (eg. variables, if statements, for loops). I would have also liked to see a little more emphasis on the industry's best practices, dos and don'ts, and a little bit of data warehouse design. I am not sure if this idea fits the company's business model, but I think it would be beneficial for the students if the course was split into total beginners and intermidiates. - Michalis EleftheriadisSenior Automation Engineer • Graduate • Data Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJun 29, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

This bootcamp is more than just an introduction. It equips you with the skills and knowledge to launch a career in data engineering.
However, be prepared to dedicate significant time and effort – it's definitely an intensive program!
The instructors and staff were fantastic!
They not only explained topics clearly but were also always available to answer questions and provided feedback on our questions/concerns. They consistently motivated us to bring out the best in ourselves
An additional benefit of this bootcamp is the provision of career development services
Overall, I highly recommend the Data Engineering Bootcamp to anyone who wants to transition into a data engineering role.
