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.
This bootcamp is no longer the great place it used to be. Vivian Zhang (the crazy CEO) has made the curriculum into a joke, and you waste a lot of time on nonsense apps like shiny, blog posts because she thinks that's what employers want. It is not. No one in the industry pays attention to the things she believes they do, which is 1 reason why it has been so difficult to place all candidates in a job. Do not believe for 1 minute she will help you get a job. Only your true&nbs...

Her TAs are wonderful and brilliant. It is not their fault that she bulldozes their efforts. But she has complete control of the camp.
It is very difficult to watch her cheapen the brand of what started out so great, and single-handedly destroy the hard work of everyone who works for her.
She let in people to the camp who were completely unqualified to be there, including non-STEM bachelors, or MBAs with no technical background whatsoever, who were a huge burden on the class. If you are a STEM phd, you had better go to Insight or Ivy Data Science if you want an intensive course in ML and statistics. "Data science" is a marketing phrase for analytics. If you do not have a technical background, you should know that the 16,000$ package Vivian is selling you is too good to be true. You cannot be made a data scientist in 3 months, and there is no way she will be able to place you in a data science job. Most people from cohorts 5 and above are still looking for jobs months afterwards. The ones that do find jobs 6 months-1 year afterwards, do so without any help from Vivian.
I work for a media company that is transitioning to Python. They were made aware of Vivians reputation and decided to send all their data analysts for corporate training in Metis. I was asked for my recommendation and I have to agree that the quality of teaching is better at Metis, since Vivian has fired most of her good teachers, and the median quality of students can be terrible, since she lets in who ever applies, regardless of their technical skills. I also spoke to several prospective students who told me they pulled out of DSA because they heard that Vivian was letting in anybody who wanted to become a data scientist, even business analysts, and was unable to get most people a permanent job. She lists "internships" as permanent jobs, and cannot support the candidate when those internships terminate. The people in my office who know Vivian do not think that DSA looks good on my resume mainly because they think "she is trying to industrialize data scientists like a factory".
She also expanded the bootcamp from 20 students to 80 students, which should be a good indication of the quality you can expect.
