Correlation One

I was a recent grad looking to transition from academia to industry data science roles and this bootcamp helped bridge my experience. Professor Natesh is, hands down, the most welcoming and engaging lecturer I have ever had, both in-person and online! He alone made this whole experience worth it. You are also paired with mentors and TAs who are very knowledgeable and go above and beyond to network you into their companies/connections. Additionally, your project and its deliverables are super relevant to job postings giving you ample of material to discuss in your interviews. 

I do have to say that I came in with lots of programming and data analysis experience which made the curriculum easier to follow. Fellows who did not have this background did struggle to follow along, however, DS4A worked on improving the pacing and provided as many additional resources as possible. I did find that companies struggled to share roles that were open to graduates with our experience level (e.g., not requiring applicants to have an MS or PhD). DS4A helped communicate this to their company sponsors and by the second career fair, it seemed like there were more entry-level roles shared with us. 

Overall, I strongly recommended this bootcamp to my network and anybody willing to listen. While we were the guinea pigs, DS4A showed us time and time again that they are willing to listen to our feedback and make any necessary changes to make it more accommodating and inclusive to their cohort. Definitely don't miss out on this amazing course! Read less

The DS4A coursework is well thought out with real world examples and the mode and method of teaching is incomparable. It fosters an environment that encourages students to ask questions and removes the stigma from error, and helps them see mistakes as a growth experience. Beyond the coursework (Python, SQL, statistical analysis etc.) and the technical skills earned, the community that one gains is priceless. I came in with a very basic background in coding, but with high proficiency in data analytics, and I left with a well-expanded skillset. The course is built for beginners all the way to advanced folks, with its offerings of additional boot camps for beginners and advanced learners. And the crowning jewel of this program -- the diversity and inclusion efforts that cover a variety of aspects and provides a much needed platform to under-represented groups. Thanks to Correlation One for setting up this excellent program.  Read less

Before I started this course, I had 0 knowledge of code, data science, analytics, etc. But after my experience with DS4A I can say my knowledge and understanding has increased so much.

The pace is perfect for beginners, there's additional bootcamps to help prepare you prior to official lessons.  The other people in the cohort were supportive and helpful, the TA's and speakers were all amazing. 

It's definitely more than a "coding bootcamp", it's truly a community of people who will support and challenge you to think and be your best.

I still wouldn't say I'm proficient but I can say I have a strong understanding of the basics and can continue to build my skills from there.  Read less
