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.
I was coming from a Computer Sicience background. And I decided to make a career switch to Data Science. One of my data scientist friends recommended me to take the NYC Data Science Academy's 12 weeks Data Science Bootcamp. It turns out to be money worthy.

I was coming from a Computer Sicience background. And I decided to make a career switch to Data Science. One of my data scientist friends recommended me to take the NYC Data Science Academy's 12 weeks Data Science Bootcamp. It turns out to be money worthy.
The bootcamp covers all the skills that I need to know to be a successful Data Scientist. It provides training on: programming skills (in both R and Python), basic Linux/Unix commands, basic database SQL programming, exploratory data analysis & data visualizationn (in both R and Python), Machine Learning in both R and Python, and basic Hadoop and Spark skills. Some people might wonder why both R and Python were taught. From my experience, R is really helpful and handy when doing the EDA and visualiztion at the beginning. Python is more useful when building production pipeline models. Also Jupyter Notebook (orignially called iPython Notebook) makes sharing the code and charts easier. So I feel it was right that they taught both R and Python.
The program was very intensive. There was so much information thrown into my brain every day so thus I had to study and reivew the course material every night late in order to digest them. We were assigned homework every other day and projects every 2 weeks. There were about 5-6 projects through the course of the bootcamp. Each project had a different focus. While the earlier projects focused on Exploratory Data Analysis, the later ones were more Machine Learning focused. I found myself was always rushing to wrap up the projects because I always had diffcult time to come up with an idea or started it late. Lesson learned!
During the bootcamp, because I was from computer science backgroud, I was quite relaxed on the programming parts. But I definitely struggled a little bit on the Machine Learning part since it invovled advanced Math and statistics. So I had to go back and review some of the Math material and took some online training on statistics. Therefor it would be great advantage for people with statistics backgroud. If one without statistics background is trying to take the bootcamp, I would suggest that you study some statistics material from online before the bootcamp so that you can really understand the theory behind.
I also want to give credits to the awesome instructors. Special thanks to Sam, Chris, and Luke who did a great job on teaching the class and answered all my questions. There were also two TAs who has provided big help on homeworks and projects.
Quick notes on job assitance, NYC Data Science Academy has connections with hiring partners. Therefore we got many job opportunities directly from the hring partners, such as Goldman Sachs, Chase, NBL, Booz Allen Hamilton. There was a time that the former job placement manager was slacked. But it was quickly fixed and the job placement manager was replaced and things were back on track again. We were also provided training on preparing interviews and sharping up my resume. Even though I got a job from an opportunity I found from LinkedIn, but the job assistance from the Academy was definitely helpful.
To sum it up, I have learned a lot from the bootcamp and I also spent a lot time to digest them after I finished the bootcamp.
