The instructors were highly knowledgeable, supportive, and dedicated to helping us understand not only the tools but also the underlying logic behind each concept. The curriculum was well structured, covering all key areas of Business Intelligence in a clear and progressive way.One of the strongest aspects of the program was the extensive hands-on work. We spent a significant amount of time solving practical exercises that simulated real business environments. This approach made the learning experience much more valuable, as it helped me apply the theory directly to realistic use cases.If I could make one recommendation for future editions, it would be to introduce a more selective filtering process for candidates, perhaps through interviews or a basic skills assessment. During the course, I noticed that some participants struggled with fundamental business concepts, as well as basic Excel knowledge. This occasionally slowed down the group and made collaboration on certain projects more challenging.Despite this, the overall training was extremely beneficial. I gained strong, practical skills that are directly relevant to the BI field, and I feel well-prepared to apply them in a professional environment. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to upskill in Business Intelligence.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job support4.0Instructors4.0 -

By the end of the bootcamp, I felt confident using the fundamental tools and understanding how a data analyst approaches real-world problems.What’s important to highlight is that this bootcamp does not make you a “finished” data analyst — and it shouldn’t be expected to. Instead, it equips you with the necessary base knowledge and mindset to continue developing on your own. If you are willing to put in personal effort, practice beyond the curriculum, and keep learning independently, the bootcamp gives you a strong starting point.Overall, it’s a good choice for beginners who want structured guidance, accountability, and exposure to the essential tools of the field, while understanding that real growth comes from continued self-study and hands-on experience.Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors4.0 -

The program is well organized and fast-paced, so having an analytical mindset and a solid understanding of basic Python is important.There are a few areas where the experience could be further enhanced incorporating more real-world industry examples, and providing slightly more structured live coding sessions with extra walkthroughs and hints. Additionally, a longer or more flexible program timeline could be beneficial for participants who prefer a smoother and more gradual learning pace.Overall, it was an exciting and valuable journey into data engineering.Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors3.0 -

The program is intensive and covers a wide range of essential tools and technologies, from Python and SQL to Docker and Airflow, providing a strong foundation for anyone looking to transition into data engineering.
What stood out the most was the hands-on approach and the real-world orientation of the projects, which helped me consolidate my skills. At the same time, I appreciated the dedication of most instructors, many of whom are active professionals in the field. On the flip side, a few sessions felt less structured, with certain instructors assuming prior knowledge that beginners might not have—something that could be improved in future editions of the program. Also, while the bootcamp is quite demanding, especially if you are working full-time, this is something to expect from such an accelerated learning experience.
Another strong point of the program was the career support that came along with the training. Apart from the technical skills, we also had sessions dedicated to CV building, LinkedIn optimization, and interview preparation. What I personally found most useful were the individual discussions with instructors, where I received direct and practical feedback tailored to my own profile, as well as advice on how to approach the job market more strategically.
Overall, I would recommend this bootcamp to anyone who wants to build a solid entry point into data engineering, especially if they value a practical, project-driven approach combined with strong networking and career support opportunities.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors4.0 -
