Nod

I recently completed the three-month Nod Coding Bootcamp in Data Analytics. While it was a significant investment that required months of work to afford, it turned out to be a valuable step in my career. I am now working as a Data Analyst at Tink with a good salary, which made the effort well worth it :)


Curriculum & LearningHaving some prior knowledge of Python and SQL, I found the initial content familiar, but the program quickly became more challenging and engaging. The bootcamp covered programming, data analysis techniques, machine learning, and data visualization. The fundamentals were well-structured, and I particularly appreciated the focus on data storytelling and presentation skills. The section on AI prompt engineering was an unexpected but highly practical addition. While I would have liked to see more coverage of industry-standard BI tools like Power BI and Tableau, the overall curriculum provided a strong foundation.
Practical Experience Hands-on projects, group work, and a machine learning competition made the learning process dynamic and enjoyable. The workload was demanding but manageable, ensuring steady progress and skill development.
Post-Bootcamp Outcome After completing the bootcamp, I continued learning daily and secured a Data Analyst role at Tink within three months. The program provided a solid base, but to successfully land a job, self-study is essential. It's important to dive deeper into topics that were only briefly covered and stay committed to continuous learning. If you stay persistent, keep improving your skills, and push forward until you find the right opportunity, success will follow.
Final Thoughts & Rating Although there were minor drawbacks, such as a slow first week and limited BI tool coverage, the bootcamp was a rewarding experience that set me on the right path. It helped me land a great job and significantly boosted my skills. Overall, a challenging but worthwhile journey!

Back in 2022 I decided I wanted a change of career and decided to join Nod. I had no previous knowledge except some laughably basic python skills, but left Nod with a job as a Junior Data Analyst. You won't become a master in only 10 weeks, but Nod is the closest you can get to go from zero to hero in that short of an timespan. 
The dedication from the teachers is amazing, and it truly feels like they live and breathe Nod during the bootcamp 24/7, in the best possibly way. 
A regular day is usually a 9-5, split into different classes. After the classes are finished, most people stay behind and continue to learn and polish the projects they made during the day usually with the help of the teachers <----- This is some of the most valuable time spent at Nod, where you have the opportunity to hone in on specifics and make your projects stand out. 
During my time at Nod, we were 10~ students, which meant that you always could get assistance if needed, but also that we managed to create a very nice bond which resulted in quite a few late nights going out drinking.


All in all, Nod is probably the most efficient form of school I've ever participated in, but also some of the best return on investment I've ever made :)

I approached Nod when I was in a dire need of a change in careers. With little coding experience beforehand I didn't really know what to expect, nor did I anticipate to be a fully autonomous coder after the experience. I am, however, pleased to tell you that not only did I become proficient in Python and SQL after the bootcamp, these skills directly contributed to the job position I currently have whilst writing this review.

Although 10 weeks of intensive coding seem like a lot, the instructors helps you every step of the way so you never feel overwhelmed. Not only that, the atmosphere is akin to studying with a friend group which is my favorite way of learning. The focus of the curriculum also progresses intuitively and at a good pace, starting with coding basics and ending with more advanced techniques within data analytics.

Taking this bootcamp was the best decision I could have made at the time and I will forever be grateful to Nod for giving me the tools needed to embark on the career path that I'm currently on.

In general terms I can say that I feel like my money invested in education is finally reflected on the value. 

This bootcamp is amazing in many ways. You really work intensively everyday and learn different areas that englobe Data Science and the instructors are trying to implement new aspects to be uptodate, you have classes and right after you jump into solving different problems related to the class and that is where you learn. I also can say that I appreciate that the bootcamp has also invested on the human part of integrating the class and making sure there is social aspects added to it makes it even better.  Also, they have a strong focus on helping students into understanding the job market, improve our cv, LinkedIn and understand how that process works in real life.

I also strongly recommend if you have not had any previous coding experience that you merge a little before the course. It is a beginners courses so you will be fine but you will leverage more with a solid base of understanding-

In all seriousness, this bootcamp is fantastic if you are looking for a full-on learning experience of everything required to perform the latest in data analytics. Personally I joined as a PhD student in Immunology to learn python, data management, visualization and machine learning - and all my expectations were met! I am now better equipped to handle complex computational data for visualization and analysis - and ultimately to answer important research questions using what I've learned in this bootcamp. In addition, I am confident that If I in the future ever would want to move into the field of bioinformatics or other related field in computational biology, I now posess the ability to do so!

NOD Bootcamp is a great place to learn and get actual programming experience in a short period of time. The concepts taught were followed by labs/ exercises to become more proficient as the time went by, followed by a project at the end of each topic, which was great to connect all the knowledge taught until that point. This approach makes sure you review concepts over and  over again enabling long-lasting knowledge acquisition.
The pace of the Bootcamp was intense but worth it to achieve and learn quite a lot in such a short period of time. Learning coding at NOD was by far more useful and rewarding than in past experiences. The best part is that throughout the Bootcamp we were able to deliver interesting  and real-world solutions. I can only recommend :)

I really recommend this bootcamp. My experience overall was pretty good. I had not found too many bootcamps specialised on Data analytics and being on-site instead of a remote set-up helps greatly in my opinion.
I wanted a career change after my last job and I decided to try this one. I am not dissapointed. The skills that you will learn here are specific for this area (python, pandas SQL, etc) and the projects help you realise that you are gaining lots of knowledge quickly. It is very intense, so be prepared for that. You will be coding 9 to 6 every day, so be ready to be focused on this. The teachers are good and are there to help you, and after this is easier to choose the areas where you want to perhaps specialise a bit more or try to get a job. There is no job guaranteed or anything like that, but they will help you with cv etc. I recommend to have a basic basic knowledge of python, things go pretty fast!

Best Coding Bootcamp on the planet!

Before applying for Nod Coding Bootcamp, I had exactly zero coding experience. I barely knew what it meant to be a coder/data analyst. Now I feel confident enough to go out in the job market and work with the skills I've acquired. They really teach you the most relevant things and set you up in the best possible way when job searching. They won't just teach you to code and manipulate data. They will teach you how to land a job in this field too. I had no CV and no LinkedIn before this, now I have both and they are decked out with projects I can showcase to recruiters!

I would personally really recommend this Bootcamp, the classroom space is awesome and the teachers are young and super fun guys to be around! I wasn't bored a single day. Although challenging at times, everything felt meaningful and very rewarding. The 10 weeks go by much faster than you think and it's actually crazy how much you learn in this time, almost unbelievable! I will miss all the group/team-building activities!
