    Ready for Data Analysis

    From the moment that I begin my journey last August to working towards attaining my certification I was excited. It is not an easy decision to learn a new skill or pursue a different line of education. It is easy to know that after the hard work that you have done you can be the professional and an influence to others. I am so glad that I found this program and made the sacrifice to work hard to learn a new skill.
    The hard skills that I have in data analytics were fined tuned as I mo...

    This was the best decision I've made for myself.

    The program is designed to teach you how to think like a programmer and how to learn. There's a LOT of content and although it is impossible to master it all in the 33 week duration, what you gain is a solid introduction to full stack development and the skills to keep learning after graduating.

    A bootcamp can't teach you everything (you CAN'T know everything- even senior level developers don't!) but I will say that this program teaches you how TO BE a software developer. I...

    You never know until you try

    I found Woz U or Entity Academy through an ad on social media that caught my eye with its mission to create and develop a space for women in a male-dominated field. The mentors and teachers are great and really take the time to make sure that you understand the material and curriculum. I am currently in the Data Science program and I have learned so much and I can't wait to start using all the information that I have learned from this program.

    Challenging but worth it!

    I entered into this program with no prior programming experience so that is probably a big reason why I struggled the first couple of months.  My mentor, instructor, and ambassador wouldn’t let me quit even though I tried and they pushed me through the program.  The program took longer than expected because I repeated a couple of the harder courses but just a few weeks after presenting my final project I’m working as a Jr Developer.

    The only good thing about this course is that they push you very hard to register and pay money.
    I don't recommend it to anyone who is smart enough to learn the same material for free.
