Best Decision Ever
Read more Read less of Bethel Ikejiofor's review
I came into ENTITY as a data analyst wanting to grow further in my career which is how I came to join their data science program. A lot of the curriculum was a refresher for me but it also exposed me to some basics that I didn’t know. It’s also helped me with conceptualizing things I had been exposed to either in undergrad or on the job but never fully understood, especially when it comes to statistics. On top of that, the support is phenomenal. Genevieve, Ayanna, and Angelica especially have made the program more enjoyable for me. From the soft skills coaching to the supplemental Google classrooms, those 3 have been very instrumental in my experience at ENTITY. There’s also the fireside chats which gives students insight into days in the life of different people within different industries, whether that be software engineering, data science, etc. To top it all off, the financing options are also very convenient and are clearly made so that cost isn’t an impediment to learning. -

Just What I Needed
Read more Read less of Georgia Miller's review
I was looking for a school that would teach me skills, not regurgitate code. I found that and more here.
I have learned new languages, softwares and processes to wrangle and analyze data. Each lesson gives videos, code/theory breakdown and a hands on practice to make sure you are understanding what you are doing. You have access to not only other students but mentors and professors to get assistance in your classes. You have due dates but you can work at your own pace and at whatever point in the day that works best for you.
Here's the best part: you literally get out of the program what you give. Between one on one coaching, group coaching for soft skills, chats with real people in the industry, and Google classroom assignments for extra hard skill tuning. You also have career services to help set your resume and portfolio up for success in the field. There are real people every step of the way to make sure you are successful if you really want it. I could not pick a better place to -

Excelling and Loving It!

I love the data science program that I became a part of! Initially I wanted to do web development but with lack of resources, I was unable to do so. But they offered me other interesting and lucrative programs that had income share agreements available, among them being data science! I love it! I have an amazing coach, had access to mentors most of the day, had my own mentor and 1:1 coaching sessions in accompaniment with group coaching sessions, and a series upon series of rather intriguing fireside chats from notable members in the tech industry, which I was also given the opportunity to connect with on LinkedIn. There are also a variety of career services put in place to ensure that I find a job! I’m currently building my portfolio from the assignments and portfolio based projects given out. It’s amazing! I love it and how engaging it is! -

Data Science Career Change
Read more Read less of Abi G.'s review
I am a former teacher launching a career change into Data Science. While there are many DS Bootcamps out there to choose from, I chose ENTITY because of everything they offer BESIDES the curriculum, in addition to the several financing options. I know I could pick up hard skills from any program, but what sets ENTITY apart is the personal connection, coaching, and mentorship that is available. I’m not done yet, so I can’t say 100% what job I will land, but I have been so pleased with all the additional value added to help with my personal and career development. I know that I personally struggled with self-confidence, which can be especially difficult with a career change. But with ENTITY, I have multiple people I can reach out to on a weekly basis for support and validation. It has truly been a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to see how the future plays out! -

Writer's Collective
Read more Read less of Angelica Pronto's review
I found ENTITY right before graduating from my four-year university, discouraged by the lack of career services available to a liberal arts graduate in a STEM-focused school. It was serendipitous that ENTITY showed up during my job search the way it did. My Writer’s Collective experience, to this day, is unmatched. Not only did the hands-on learning help me hone my craft as a writer, but the feedback and mentorship I received during my program is what I continuously fall back on as I accelerate in my career. Six years later, I’m still using things I learned from my program.
From search engine optimization (SEO), to digital writing, to social media packaging – these just aren’t things my college courses covered. Because of this, I thought my only options after getting a degree were to work as a magazine writer or an editor, not realizing that there were so many other ways to monetize my passion for the written word. And year over year, I’ve seen ENTITY iterate their flagship Writer’s Collective program to ensure it’s up-to-date and relevant to the ever-changing digital landscape. I know they’re offering branding/design modules now, along with deep dives into paid marketing for the 5 major social media platforms (FB, IG, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok).
Through ENTITY, I spent an entire summer building my portfolio and getting published on a magazine (www.EntityMag.com). At the time, nothing was more exhilarating than seeing my byline on content that was researched, written, edited, and published! Not to mention, I also met and learned from industry experts. ENTITY provides intimate access to high-level professionals within the industry that can potentially serve as connections in the future! Mentorship emanates throughout this organization, and continues for students even after graduating. I couldn’t be prouder to be part of the #WomenThatDo. -

Working Single Mom

Years ago, I saw that my client, a single mom, worked from home and earned a competitive salary. Analysis was a part of her role. She told me she creates a story using data. She is an incredible leader in her field, and she is #goals. I decided that once I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Marketing, I would look into Data Science. It seemed an exciting field: rewarding, competitive, and rapidly growing. The notion that I could work from anywhere was very appealing, and this was pre-pandemic.
Soon after, my inspiring best friend earned her Master's from Vanderbilt. She told me all about her Machine Learning degree. I remember thinking, "I am not sure I am smart enough...I can't afford it."
When the pandemic hit, I was forced to pivot because the nature of my business is residential. After years of contemplating it, I decided to bet on myself. All my clients were quarantined, so I applied to ENTITY Academy. What did I have to lose? I had already researched and even been to open houses for other boot camps. I really liked that this program is geared towards women.
From the moment I had my first recruitment call with Julio, Entity Academy has been nothing but a wonderfully positive experience. Of course, a tech BootCamp is NOT easy. However, with Entity, you have all you need to get your foot in the door.
Networking- FireSideChats with working professionals
Technical Help - A qualified Senior Technical Mentor will walk you through your coursework when you are stuck. (Devin, you are the absolute best.)
The CEO and Director are invested in your success and overall happiness during the program. I was personally called and introduced to VPs, CEOs, and Amazonian women more than once.
More sleepless nights completing other certificates await. I've learned that in Tech, we ALWAYS need to be learning, and this course makes you competitive in the market.
If you are thinking about it, go for it. I graduated in March 2022. I interviewed as soon as I put my credentials on LinkedIn. I accepted an offer yesterday after reviewing my options over the weekend, and my start date is in May.

Writer's Collective+
Read more Read less of Stephanie B.'s review
I took the writer's collective program back in 2018 after being laid off from my first post-college job. I was looking for an opportunity where I would be taught new skills that my previous job didn't bother to teach me. I was also looking for a type of mentor or guidance in the digital marketing world. I wanted to learn how to be more creative with my writing and knew I needed to expand my skills. A lot of the jobs I was applying to were looking for people with 5 plus years of experience and who were familiar with InDesign, SEO, and editing. I found ENTITY's program through an Indeed post and decided to apply. I was very excited when I was offered a spot and from day one the whole experience was very professional. You learn how to network, write, interview, edit, and so much more. After completing the program I walked away feeling confident in myself and the skills that I brought to the table. I was able to land a job working at a newspaper as their social media coordinator two months later.
Experiencing just how hard it can be to land a job after graduation when every company wants people with experience is hard. But I would recommend the program to someone who is looking to gain experience, skills, and knowledge in the digital marketing world in order to show a potential employer that you do have the experience. -

AMAZING!!
Since starting with ENTITY I have been able to connect with women in the same classes as me and working on the same material. It is so great to be able to have such amazing women working and helping each other to be successful in the data field. All of the instructors are so encouraging and engaging!! -

Great Experience So Far
Read more Read less of Katlin McFee's review
I spent a lot of time and research deciding if I should do a bootcamp or return to college for an undergrad. I was a little skeptical of the bootcamps. Entity really changed my mind about that. I'm a little over two months into my program and I already feel like I've gained so many skills and connections. The financial aid process gave me a lot of confidence in the program as well because my payments are due after I'm done and only if I get a job with a salary above 45,000. (However you do have to get approved for this kind of financing.) The weekly mentor meetings are awesome because not only do you have help with your course work, but also can ask questions about navigating the job field. An added bonus to Entity is that they use Google Classroom on top of your data course work to help you develop your soft skills such as networking, social media, resumes, etc. -

Wow
This bootcamp is really REALLLY nice. I recommend it to women who are on the go and busy. I work full-time, have a business,a house,and a needy furbaby. I've seen to breeze through classes but when I did need help my mentor Marcy was right there! Find you a great mentor and you'll be set! -

Entity Academy has truly changed me as a whole. I researched several different boot camps and programs to assist me in conducting a successful career change. The moment I chose Entity and started orientation, Ivfelt a huge relief. Thus far, my mentor has been amazing. Maria Panos is always available, whether it be through chat or zoom to assist. The curriculum does have its tough lessons that are a challenge, but the Google classroom has several lessons and resources to assist in mastering the different components of Data Science. Overall, I can say I am confident with all that I have learned at this point from Entity, I will be able to secure a great career opportunity upon my closure of the program. -

The program was educational, but it doesn’t teach you how to interpret and comprehend your code. Even after 8 months I still feel like I didn’t learn much -

In my previous training I had some statistics and data training but it was incomplete in several areas. The Entity program allowed me to round out my resume with certifications and hands on training that made me feel better equipped for large scale research projects and positions. In addition the support and assistance to work within my schedule remotely allowed me to keep my home life in balance. -

I started the data science course through Entity around the beginning of this year. So far my experience has been wonderful. The mentors are extremely responsive, helpful, and are ready to help when it’s needed. Originally when I started looking into a career in data science I though I don’t think this is something I would be able to do because it looks hard. But as I finish modules I look back like wow I can’t believe I was able to do all of this. The layout of the courses makes it super easy to learn the content. With videos and hands on practice scattered through the lessons it really makes learning the material so easy. I would recommend anyone interested in learning data science to look into Entity Academy as I do not regret doing so myself. -
Heather Conway
Most Suportive Academy
Entity is powered by Woz-U, but it is about the female empowerment for me. They are there to support you at every step of the way. Being able to work with my mentor 1:1 every week has made such a difference in my learning. I knew nothing of the data world before starting this program, but it hasn't been scary to learn with all this help. So happy that I found this program. -

Entity Academy is more than your normal academy or university. Entity is a community of thriving individuals that genuinely would love to see another succeed throughout the program and after the program. Currently enrolled within the Data science program and the amount of resources provided for internal support and external support is tremendous. Each lesson is throughly broken down for maximum benefit in learning the material. Whether it is weekly workshops or recorded material. The mentors are always readily available to help when needed throughout. As well as consistent motivation to make one feel ready to tackle each assignment. I would encourage and recommend Entity to family, friends, or even a stranger due to the strong support system and course material. -

ENTITY Academy is a special place...

I quit teaching last November, promising myself that I would never settle into a career again. I longed for a more fulfilling life. I wanted to pursue a completely new field. I found ENTITY Academy after taking time to consider my options and decide on the path I wanted take. It was a leap of faith to start over, but enrolling in the Data Science program at ENTITY has been one of my proudest decisions. From the very first welcome to the daily check-ins, ENTITY is a place where you will always feel supported. I absolutely love every mentor, coach, and advisor at ENTITY. Everyone truly has your back. ENTITY Academy is a special place with a special team! -

Very empowering!
Read more Read less of Cory Stanley-Stahr's review
I have a degree, but when I became a single mom, my old career was no longer a good fit. I knew I wanted a data science certification, and I had been shopping around. Every school I looked at was too expensive or required too much of a commitment. Some I just intuitively knew were not right for me. When I applied to ENTITY, I spoke to someone on the phone that same day. After months of shopping around, within an hour I had made the decision to enroll at ENTITY, and the biggest reason is because I found them to be very empowering. Their unique funding opportunities allowed me to get a certification in a reasonable amount of time. Also, they were willing to gamble on me, and it made me feel supported, right from the start.
I love the curriculum and flexibility. But what I really love is things like opportunities to talk to career professionals and explore options, as well as amazing perks like having a life coach at my disposal. I can’t say that the work isn’t challenging, but I can say that I have felt like the entire staff has supported me along the way. -

I have been about 6 months in for the data scientist program. It’s a great program and goes intermediate in R and Python. Has a great mentor and support program. Lesson are easy to follow and gain comprehension. If your looking to learn more more into Data Science, highly recommend. -

Best Decision!

Coming from a non tech background, I thought that I would be drowning at this school. Turns out, with all the resources and mentors ENTITY Academy offers, I’m passing with flying colors! Learning how to code was much easier than I expected. Now, don’t get me wrong, Learning all the softwares such as R studio, Python, Tableau, SQL, and the basics of statistics was quite daunting, but my mentor and instructor was there if I needed anything to help me with the course. I wish I would have made this decision sooner! -

I can’t really say enough good things about ENTITY, which coming from me, is a huge compliment. I’m an incredibly skeptical person, so I remember when I first heard about ENTITY, it kind of sounded too good to be true.
But it really is incredibly helpful in developing the skills, and more importantly, the relationships needed to enter the workforce. While all aspects of the program helped me become the writer and self-marketer I am today, I gained the most from ENTITY’S mentorship program.
All you have to do, is be squeaky wheel. Keep reaching out to the speakers who inspired you. Don’t let them forget you. And dazzle them.
Specifically, my relationship with Merle Ginsberg, the fashion editor at LA Mag, is what launched me into my career. She helped me make a splash in the journalism industry by connecting me with the higher-ups at LA Mag, like Maer Roshan and Joseph Kapsch. And I could not be more grateful for her guidance. And now I get to cover Rupaul’s DragCon this May for LA Mag, which, to be too corny, is a dream come true.
If you take advantage of every resource ENTITY offers you and put in the work, you’ll leave the program with the skills, knowledge, and relationships you need to pursue your career. -

AMAZING

I first saw Entity Academy on Instagram talking about women empowerment and reading testimonials , I really didn't know if I was ready but I took a look at the courses and I saw Certified Medical Billing and Coding. I saw the many opportunities they offered for the Course, I spoke to an amazing representative and she basically cleared the air of my worries. This has been a lifelong passion for me to pursue this career goal and now this is my time to finish my journey once and for all. Entity has amazing mentors to motivate and help you through every step of your journey with them, they also give you great opportunities to network and attend live mentors presentations and hear about how they got to where they are today . So motivating right? Im also meeting amazing people alike. This is not just to grow financially but personally. This is what makes ENTITY different from the rest. -

I have been a student in the Data Science Program at Entity since February 2022. I wanted to learn more about the tech industry to figure out how things work, and I happened upon this program which not only provides an accredited program, but also provides resume and career search services. Being in the workforce at the same company for a decade, I needed a refresher on how to apply for a job these days. The mentors are very responsive to any and all questions I have had, and the course materials for the hard skills give a well-rounded perspective on how to use the most utilized programs in the industry. My classmates help each other out and I am very happy that I decided to make a change in my life for the better by enrolling in ENTITY Academy! -

So I started my certification Jan 2022 at the same time I was finishing my masters program and taking care of my mother (whom is ill). From the very beginning, the staff at Entity worked with me to make sure that I was able to handle my workload, emotionally supported and that I was completing all the work necessary every week. They even helped me with the occasional question from my masters work! The modules, practice projects, videos and workshops are ALL so helpful. It's important to try and complete them all so that you learn best. They've really considered the most up to date practices and tools to use and are constantly looking for ways to improve the curriculum. I honestly find this bootcamp more valuable than my masters degree as far as looking for work either. Their career advice has been super valuable. Definitely don't regret signing on. -

Career Change

I decided that I needed a career change. I looked at several fields and courses to figure out what my next move was going to be. I saw an ad for Entity and began researching the program. I love technology and am fascinated with how it all works. So, when I read about the Data Scientist program, I was intrigued and wanted to know more. I have been in social work/customer service field for a while now. I know what to do and when to do it. Entity caught my attention because it said no experience necessary, and we will teach you everything you need to know. I took a leap of faith and began the program. I am so happy that I did. My mentor was fabulous and even now that I have graduated, I can still connect with him and pick his brain. I love the format of the program where you have videos, examples, live help from mentors, etc. to assist you with completing your lessons. I learn in various ways and this format allowed me to use my different learning styles. Every lesson and project I completed was something that I can now use in my portfolio when looking for employment. I met some amazing people especially for my final group project. The ladies in my group were all amazing and we each brought our own unique skills to the table, and we were able to create an awesome presentation. These ladies will forever be in my life. We send job leads and different articles to each other to continue to help us grow as Data Scientists. The community environment is what I love about the Entity platform. They want you to do your best and succeeded. I am forever grateful to the staff for guiding me into this next chapter of my career and life. I can't wait to see what's next.

The Entity Technical Sales course was a very challenging course but I learned right away that if you do the work honestly it can be done with whatever is going on with the current job or family situation. The instructors work tirelessly for all students. For me personally, it was well worth the time and money. This course catapulted my skills and confidence beyond what any college course. could have done. The assistance with real-world job skills is absolutely priceless. Do the work and it pays off. -

From the recruitment process to participating in the program, you can tell that the entire ENTITY team supports and cares about you. They are right there with you every step of the way.

Impressive Experience

I can't speak highly enough of my experience here as a data science student. The content is intense but doable. The skills the courses teach are sought after in the job market. The mentors are available to answer your questions at almost any time. And the flexible financing options make it accessible to anyone who puts in the work. The team at Entity lifts and supports women. (Of course there are some male students as well; however, the team wants to recruit more women to STEM jobs). I would recommend this to anyone looking to expand a skillset or switch careers. I'm a registered nurse, but I'm looking to use my nursing education in other ways. I look forward to completing my program with Entity! -

It haa been amazing so far. The curriculum is comprehensive, but not overwhelming. It builds knowledge up from Zero. The two features that I have personally enjoyed most are 1) the availability of help through a group of mentors, 2) having a personal mentor and a personal coach.
One thing to add, is that they are supportive and flexible when life hits you hard. They will provide more time to finish the course and I had several sessions with my coach to go through that hard times.
