Shared Review
- Great Bootcamp- 3/28/2019Chaoran Chen • Data Engineer • Graduate • Course: 12-Weeks In-Person Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedIn
Great Bootcamp.
The program is very comprehensive and intense. The syllabus is well structured. They make sure your time is only spent on most popular and useful technologies which are needed for a Data Scientist.
The instructors are very responsive. They also hold events to build the relationship between you and the potential hiring partners.
- Amazing Staff- 1/19/2021Karoly Lajko • Research Assistant • Graduate • Course: 12-Weeks In-Person Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedInI was not sure what to expect before I enrolled. The pace is fast, the program is demanding. You need all your ability and energy for this course. The staff is composed of brilliant and kind folks who are there to support you in all possible ways. It is up to the individual how much is taken out of the program. It is not inexpensive but certainly amazing experience and tool under your belt.
- Excellent Data Science Bootcamp- 1/4/2021Haining Fu • Graduate • Course: 12 Week Full Time Hadoop & Spark Bootcamp • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedInI started this program with absolutely Zero coding background. I was a little skeptical about signing up this program. However, school prep you 2 coding languages (Python and R) from scratch. Instructors are very friendly and helpful, students can reach instructors easily if you have questions. After the 4 weeks intensive basic coding training, i was able to understan and build a strong base for the advanced topic such as, Machine Learning, Visulization. There were 4 projects needed to be completed in order to finished the program. The data we aquried for final capstone project was from the company in leading industries. I would say this school opened a door for you in the data world and help you land your dream job in the future.
- The bootcamp experience can't get better than this- 12/19/2020Zack Zbar • Graduate • Course: Full-time Online Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInIn trying to enter the Data Science field, I came to the conclusion that the bootcamp route was my goldilocks option, somewhere between self-teaching (low cost/commitment) and a master’s degree (high cost/commitment). If you come to the same conclusion, I couldn't imagine a better bootcamp experience than NYCDSA.Curriculum:Comprehensive and (more importantly) realistic. NYCDSA focuses on building a strong DS foundation. So instead of becoming a superficial expert on the most complicated buzz-word models, you become a solid expert on DS foundations with experience applying those foundations to projects. This turned out to be hugely important, as many of my DS job interviews focused on fundamental ML concepts, and I could give in-depth answers.Faculty:Top notch. The instructors are experts with years of experience, and they're skilled at breaking down complex topics. This allows them to work with both beginners and advanced students. Further, they're incredibly supportive, and always available to answer questions and help with projects. For me, that alone made the investment worth it - to have experts available to help work through your questions, instead of banging your head against the wall trying to figure it out yourself.Job Support:The Covid job market is tough, but the NYCDSA team does what they can to help. They made introductions/recommendations, hosted events, helped prep for interviews, and met with me many times for career services. Of course, at the end of the day, you’ve got to get the job… but they’re on your side every step of the way.The only issue I have with the bootcamp route is that going in, there’s often this “do a bootcamp, get a job” misconception. More realistically, it’s “do a bootcamp, then study for a few months independently, then commit yourself to interview prep and job hunting, then get a job.”As long as you’re ready for the work, the bootcamp can be a perfect first step. For me, NYCDSA and the self-led study that followed provided the very necessary foundation of my DS career.
- Top Notch Program- 11/6/2020David Zask • Data Scientist • Graduate • Course: Full-time Online Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI have a philosophy degree and was working as a data analyst, but I was interested in taking my career in a more technical direction. NYC Data Science academy provided me with all of the tools to become proficient as a Data Scientist. Their 3-month program gives students a unique opportunity to gain a deep conceptual understanding of the field as well as exposure to real-world projects. No other program provides this level of immersion in the field. The projects are real data science projects that you would work on as a professional data scientist and provide you with an impressive portfolio.
It really comes down to the people at NYCDSA from the instructors to career services and the alumni network. They are all ready to make a significant investment in you and your career as a data scientist. I loved learning from my instructors and from my peers. I truly feel like I am part of a community. Even in difficult economic times, you are put into a great position to launch a career as a Data Scientist. You need to be willing to invest a lot of time, but the investment pays off!
- Fantastic Coursework and Instructors!- 11/2/2020Matthew Boccio • Graduate • Course: Full-time Online Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInNYCDSA went above and beyond to make sure that their students had a stellar bootcamp experience despite being in the midst of a global pandemic. Having a "live online" model meant that we were all taking classes remotely, but that instructors were giving their lectures live through zoom and using screen sharing to share lecture notes, slides, and example code. Instructors and TAs were very readily available digitally, and made sure to make themselves available to teach and answer questions at almost all hours of the day.
Aside from the impressive response to COVID, overall the curriculum was very involved - a difficult but worthwhile challenge for both beginners and experts alike! The coursework is designed to push you and involve real-world datasets as examples in your analysis, and projects give you a real sense of how to approach data analysis in an intelligent way. This a great place to learn!
- good school- 10/10/2020Baptiste • Student • Course: 12-Weeks In-Person Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedInA good school, open, with high level professors. Courses are introductive, but if you have deeper questions, there is no problem, the staff is there for you, which is great and adaptive for everyone. The job assistance is very effective, and they help you to be your best!
- Silver Lining in the Middle of a Pandemic- 10/7/2020Catherine Tang Kim Sin • Data Science Intern • Graduate • Course: 12-Weeks In-Person Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedIn
i started this program during the pandemic and absolutely no regrets. i was skeptical having it online at first but the instructors and TA's make it as hassle-free as possible to help you out. Its tough but worth the handful of sleepless nights.
- Fantastic instructors and thorough curriculum- 10/2/2020Swarup Malli • Graduate • Course: 12-Weeks In-Person Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedInI'm a software engineer with work experience in Business Intelligence. I always felt data science was a logical extension of business intelligence. I had been planning to transition into the data science space by joining an immersive data science Bootcamp. I picked NYCDataSceince Academy after researching on various boot camps near my area.
My experience has been a positive one. I was able to learn a lot of data science-related subjects in a short span of 3 months.
Thanks to the instructors, who were always there for the students. They really cared about the students and are well versed in the subjects they teach. The career services are very efficient, leveraging a large community of alumni.
I would recommend this Bootcamp to professionals who are looking to break into the field of data science.
- Excellent Teaching Staff and Thorough Curriculum- 10/2/2020Simon Yates • Graduate • Course: Full-time Online Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI attended the 12-week Data Science Bootcamp in May 2020 and gained a great deal from the experience. I came in with a background in mathematics, but with limited experience programming in Python. By the end of the bootcamp I was very comfortable using Python to work with data and run machine-learning analyses such as Random Forests and Gradient Boosting.
What I thought was exceptional about the course was the quality of the instructors. These ranged from mathematicians with a distinguished track record in academia, to hands-on software engineers with experience working with complex systems. In all cases the instructors were encouraging and generous with their time.
The bootcamp has an extensive pre-work section and I'd advise any attendees to complete this thoroughly. 12 weeks is a short time to cover the amount of material that's on the curriculum, so building basic coding skills before the start will be very beneficial.
All-in-all I felt the bootcamp delivered exactly the skills that I was looking to build. I'd recommend it highly to anybody who wants a serious foundation in the subject.
- Immersive 12-week Data Science Bootcamp- 10/1/2020Elina Egiazarova • Graduate • Course: 12-Weeks In-Person Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedInI attended the 12-week Data Science Bootcamp at NYC Data Science Academy and it was a fantastic experience. It was meant to be in-person but the classes were moved online due to pandemic. The transition was seamless even though we were the first on-site cohort to become fully online.I can't recommend this program highly enough to anyone interested in a career in data science and machine learning. You will learn a lot in a very short amount of time so be prepared for an intensive experience but you'll enjoy every minute of it. The instructors have strong backgrounds in applied mathematics, computer science, statistics and machine learning - as well as industry experience - and it's extraordinary how much time and energy they put in to make sure that students understand what being a good data scientist means. You'll do homework, quizzes, exams, projects (individual and in groups), it's a lot of work but you will never feel stuck as they have excellent TAs who are always there to help.You will learn Python, R, SQL, different machine learning algorithms as well as how to work with data. But that's not all: what I particularly liked was how strongly they emphasised the importance of presentation skills and the ability to tell a story behind your numbers.Their devotion to making sure that they prepare you well for a career in data science is quite remarkable. Their career services are outstanding - you will have regular meetings to discuss your resume, prepare for interviews, network with alumni.My background is in applied mathematics and quantitative finance but the curriculum is so intensive that I had to work 12 hours a day to meet all the deadlines. But - and that's what makes NYCDSA truly first-class - it will never feel like hard work because you will be surrounded by people who are not just very good at what they do: they are passionate about data science and their enthusiasm will inevitably translate into you enjoying it, too.So if you are interested in a career in data science - NYCDSA is an excellent place to start. But even if you are considering data science but not sure whether you'll like it or not - try to get into NYC Data Science Academy: not only will you learn a lot but you'll actually love data science and will want to make it your life's work.
- Robert K.N. Atuahene • Data Scientist • Graduate • Course: 12-Weeks In-Person Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedInWithout question, this is an outstanding Bootcamp for those looking to break into the field of data science. The curriculum is structured to help students master the essential vocabulary in Python (and R) needed to gather, clean, analyze and visualize fairly large data sets(up to a few million records of data) as well as master the theory behind the traditional machine learning algorithms used in supervised and unsupervised learning - ie. penalized MLR, SVM, DA, LR, DT, RF, Gradient boosting algos, clustering and PCA along with hands-on homework, quizzes, exams and project work to consolidate theory with practice. And all this is crammed into 12 weeks so prepare for an intensive ride. But as others have mentioned you will get as much out of it as you put in and this includes utilizing the wealth of resources available to you via the instructors and your cohort.
In addition to the coursework, the Bootcamp prepares students for the job market by emphasizing presentation skills and the importance of using data to tell a relevant story or solve a business problem. The founder of the program is personally involved in the resume and interview preparation as well as many aspects of the job hunt process.
I enrolled in the 12weeks in-person Bootcamp but due to Covid-19, all classes were made virtual. I commend the Academy for making this transition seamless without a reduction in the academic experience.
I certainly recommend this Bootcamp to beginner/intermediary level data science professionals or those looking to make a complete switch. For more advanced students, the Academy offers advanced courses in deep learning and working with much larger data sets that are unfortunately separate from the Bootcamp(at an additional cost of course!)
- Graduate of Sept '19 cohort- 7/31/2020Arliss Coates • Graduate • Course: 12-Weeks In-Person Data Science Bootcamp • Campus: New York City • Verified via GitHubThe NYCDSA is about as rigorous an education as it's possible to pack into 3 months. I was a total beginner in coding, computer science, math, and statistics, so I found the experience very challenging, but very rewarding. Data science is not something to get into idly, but if you're committed, you should be able to make it through. It helps to know someone outside the camp who can assist with the coursework, even though their group of instructors and TAs is top notch. You're going to encounter a pretty brilliant group of people.
