They have multiple work shops that help with not only learning the knowledge but also learning how to get a job and write your resume/linkedin.

The only thing I did not like is it's way more expensive. 16000$ is too much for 3 months.
Talking about content it has been super amazing, starting from SQL, then ML techniques and there production. In improvement I would say BS can work on foucusing SQL and other relationship databases as these are the things which matter the most in a entry level job. Also I have not learned anything about MS excel which actually most companies actually require for analysis.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support2.0Instructors5.0 -
