The instructor I had was not very engaged in the course as they were doing it as a side job. They did not come prepared to class and we had a lot of silent moments when they had to fix or solve something. We also heard "let me google that" a lot, which just shows how the instructor did not prepare the class ahead of time. Additionally, the instructor was not very skilled at explaining concepts. The TA was somewhat useful but they did not get involved often enough to make a difference.Overall3.0Curriculum3.0Job supportN/AInstructors2.0 -

The course covered database structures, SQL, Tableau and some basic presentation skills. All in all, it felt like a solid starting point in data analytics. The instructor was knowledgeable, approachable and fun to be around, and always available to clarify concepts and answer questions.
The class structure was mostly well-organized, with a mix of lecture and lab content during the sessions supplemented with assignments that had practical application.
However, the pace of the lectures occasionally felt rushed, especially with complex topics. More review of the labs/assignments would have been helpful to improve understanding. However, the latter and more complex exercises generally felt like they were building practical skills.

I gained valuable skills in building and managing databases, effectively organizing and analyzing large quantities of data.

The instructor was not only knowledgeable but also had significant industry experience, which greatly enhanced the learning experience. One of the highlights of the course was the abundance of industry-specific knowledge and practical skills that the instructor shared. These insights were invaluable for understanding the intricacies of day-to-day work in the field of data science.
What made the course particularly effective was the opportunity to apply the newly acquired skills through engaging case studies. This hands-on approach allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts and methodologies taught in the course. Moreover, we culminated our learning journey by working on a project and delivering a presentation, which further solidified our understanding and showcased our capabilities.
As a result of this course, I now feel well-equipped to take the next steps in my career journey. I am confident in my ability to apply the skills and knowledge I have gained to real-world data science challenges. This course has undoubtedly provided me with a strong foundation and the necessary tools to excel in the field.

I took the part time course but it is by no means a part time course after unit 1. Be prepared to commit to the course load. Much of what you get back from this program is what you put in and the most valuable input is the feedback you get from your teachers and TA's on your projects. Although there were some moments of disconnect with the flow of the curriculum, getting real time feedback from those already in the industry was extremely valuable and they care about your learning experience. When the program ends, the support from the career accelerator continues to help you network, prepare for interviews and help you stay accountable to your job search. I'm appreciative of the way they have structured their education to help me with this career transition. If you are looking for a career shift, I recommend you to consider BrainStation.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0
