NYC Data Science Academy offers 12-week, accredited data science and data analytics bootcamps in New York City and live online. NYC Data Science Academy is a nationally accredited Data Science Bootcamp in the U.S that teaches both Python and R. In the program, students will learn beginner and intermediate levels of Data Science with Hadoop, Spark, Github, Docker, SQL, R, and Python packages like XgBoost, Caret, Dplyr, Ggplot2, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and more. The program distinguishes itself by balancing intensive lectures with real-world project work and the breadth of its curriculum. The academy is well known for its industry project-oriented learning experience and well-immersed community established since 2013.
Students will work on at least four individual or team projects showcased to employers through private hiring partner events, student blogs, meetups, and film presentations. The academy also offers strong lifetime career support such as tech interview prep, mock interviews, unlimited mentorships, and 1-on-1 post-interview reviews and feedback from career mentors to help students ace their interviews.
Getting straight to the point, this bootcamp is for people who actually want to learn data science, not for people who are looking to get paid more money. If you don't have the passion and grit to handle an intensive bootcamp as NYCDSA teaches, don't bother coming. I am coming from a B.S. in Biology and worked for 3 years at a large company and this is my advice to those who have NO CODING experience.

Getting straight to the point, this bootcamp is for people who actually want to learn data science, not for people who are looking to get paid more money. If you don't have the passion and grit to handle an intensive bootcamp as NYCDSA teaches, don't bother coming. I am coming from a B.S. in Biology and worked for 3 years at a large company and this is my advice to those who have NO CODING experience.
Advice:
-DO ALL THE PREWORK. This is not a joke, do all the prework as much as you can to be prepared for what's to come during the bootcamp. Yes, it will be disappointing failing over and over again but you need to be okay and comfortable failing in order to be learning the material that is given to you
-SUPPLEMENTAL COURSES. Along with the pre-work, they recommend you take Andrew Ng's Machine Learning course and brush up on your linear algebra because you'll need it for the end of the course and you won't have time to do that during the time of the course
-TRY, FAIL, REPEAT. In order for you to get comfortable with coding, you're gonna need to repeat the same line of code over and over again until you get it in your head. I know, because I had to do this myself throughout the whole course.
-ASK YOUR NEIGHBOR. The first day is always awkward meeting new people, but with how much work you have to do, you'll get over it fast and want someone else's view on a particular matter. The teachers there are great, but sometimes you'll need someone to explain in a new way or you have to explain it to someone else so you can solidify your own knowledge. So do yourself a favor and ask a neighbor before asking the teacher first.
-PREPARE. This course can be a breeze, or this course can be a challenging experiencing. It is so easy for anyone to come and just breeze through all the material they give you, but it is really up to you to make it harder for yourself and learn topics and implementing them right away. If you want to make the most out of it then you need to COME EARLY, STAY LATE, ASK QUESTIONS.
Many think this course starts off slow, but take this time to grab a strong foundation in your coding skills in R and Python because after the first weeks are gone, you're gonna miss it. The course becomes relentless in terms of the material they give you and how much time you have to get it done.
PROS:
- This bootcamp helps those who have no coding experience but does require you to have some knowledge in statistics and linear algebra (if you don't have any of that under your belt, brush up)
-Materials given to learn and understand the material is a great learning experience
-Super friendly and willing to help you
-Upfront about hiring and what you need to do to get hired
-Hiring event was an amazing opportunity to get you started with interviews
CONS:
-Some of the teaching staff know English as a second language, so it may be difficult for some to understand clearly what they are trying to explain. Be patient and ask questions when appropriate if you are confused.
-Space is rather small and does not provide the most optimal space to do group projects.
-Although the hiring event was absolutely amazing, some of the requirements do ask a pretty demanding qualification and a majority of job postings are not entry level/associate positions (keep this in mind)
CONCLUSION
I recommend this course to anyone who is planning to take data science as a new career path. Keep in mind that this field is interdisciplinary and allows for people of all range of backgrounds to be in data science. The teacher, staff, and fellows were amazing and glad I got to learn as much as I did, however, after this bootcamp, it is actually just the beginning of how much you actually can learn of what's out there in the field today.
