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.
The 12-week data science bootcamp is a highly useful experience both for people looking to transition into data science and those who seek to expand their skills set in their current field.

The 12-week data science bootcamp is a highly useful experience both for people looking to transition into data science and those who seek to expand their skills set in their current field. A core dimension of the program is exposing and drilling you in a range of technologies that are very sought after on the market for data scientist/data analyst/quantitative analyst positions, spanning fields from tech, finance, healthcare, marketing, research etc. On this front, a distinguishing feature of the bootcamp is that you work in both either R and Python as primary languages, so that you become proficient in both languages by the end of the bootcamp, which is very valuable. Besides these languages, the bootcamp also teaches staples of database, file management and version control like bash, git, SQL (MySQL, SQLite) and MongoDB as well as in demand big data tools like Spark, Hive, Hadoop, AWS, etc. This is a very powerful set of tools to have under your belt. Certainly, the more familiar you are with these technologies before joining the bootcamp, and the more intense effort you are willing to put into practicing these skills, the more you will be able to get out of the experience, and you must be prepared to absorb new technologies very fast, but at the bootcamp, you get a structured and very supportive environment to help you achieve this. The TAs are excellent, very dedicated, and willing to assist you with any question or problem you may have.
A second core dimension of the program is anchoring you in the mechanics of statistical inference, machine learning algorithms, and data mining. The curriculum is grounded in canonical texts in machine learning and is organized such that you get to cover a lot of ground in a short time. The concepts are explained very clearly, first from a mathematical perspective and then implemented step by step in both R and Python. The instructors have various specialties in which they teach, are extremely knowledgeable and can answer questions at any level of depth.
Tying these first two dimensions together are mostly daily problem sets and five projects, where you get to use the skills you are learning. For the projects, you can even go beyond, learning and adding a technology or skill that may not have been directly taught, if it serves your project. You will have ample support from the TAs and instructors through all this, and your classmates will make a very useful learning community. For the projects, it is helpful to give yourself plenty of time in advance to come up with ideas, but here again your TAs, instructors, and classmates will be very helpful sounding boards.
The third core pillar of the program is job search assistance. During the bootcamp there is a series of job search preparation lectures that include resume review, search and interview tips, interview type quizzes, and industry guest speakers. You will be encouraged, given many useful tips, and get motivated to become very disciplined and efficient in your approach. At the end of the bootcamp, each cohort is invited to a career event focused exclusively on the newly graduated cohort, with hiring managers from a diverse set of companies. You won’t be handheld, and you must apply discipline and commitment to your search, applications and preparation for interviews after the boot camp ends, but the job search assistance from the bootcamp will continue until you find a job, with the opportunity to interview with companies that hold interviews at the bootcamp, referrals to positions you’re applying through the frequent advertisements sent to alumni or to positions you apply on your own, a bank of practice interview questions, interview performance review, and an alumni dedicated place to come work on your search at the bootcamp headquarters available to all alumni.
The bootcamp is a very intense experience and you have to commit yourself to it 120% percent, but you will leave with a skill set that will advance your career, a set of projects and a certification that, in my experience, will attract many recruiters, the drive and inspiration to push yourself to reach your maximum potential, and a support network that will be there for as you pursue your professional dreams post-bootcamp. In addition, in my experience and that of several of my cohort classmates, both during and after the bootcamp, you will become an independent learner in the field of data science who is capable to advance and add to their skill set on their own. This is an invaluable skill in any data-related role you will hold. In sum, the bootcamp is a highly valuable experience that will leave a very positive impact on your professional life. I am very grateful I made this choice and I can only wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone else.
