WeCloudData

I recently graduated from WeCloudData in June of 2020. Before I began my cohort, my background was in telecommunications. Though challenging the staff, instructors, and the TA's really helped me to push myself and assisted me to complete the program. WeCloudData’s program covers more material than any other leading bootcamp. The curriculum is created with professional development in mind, while at the same time being up-to-date with all the latest frameworks in the industry. WeCloudData’s curriculum includes an extra component, which is crucial for getting a job at the top companies in the industry. It offers a selection of projects that students have a chance to complete during the bootcamp. These projects not only allow students to apply newly learned coding techniques but also push them to solve “real-life” problems and to create industry-specific practical solutions. Bootcamp has a mix of individual and group projects, which gives students a chance to work with different kinds of dynamics, and most importantly to learn from fellow students (working within their consulting firm “Beam Data” on data science and data engineering projects for companies such as Samsung Electronics Canada, Homadorma.....). In addition to the core of the program, WeCloudData also offers practical and extensive preparatory material (already included in the price of the bootcamp: Python and SQL). Thanks to these materials students are capable of building a strong foundational knowledge of the core material, and as a result, have a much easier time during the program. One of the greatest advantages of the WeCloudData’s bootcamp is the group of extraordinarily supportive teaching assistants. Since 100% of teaching assistants are former bootcamp students, they possess a unique understanding of anything that current students are going through at any given moment particularly Parry. Another pivotal part of the program is its amazing collective of instructors, most of whom possess advanced degrees and multiple years of industry experience especially Shaohua. No other place creates such a remarkable mix of academic and industry knowledge that allows students to not only learn how to code but to understand the underlying principles of the business processes. Also, I really appreciated how WeCloudData went what of their way in little things that can make a big difference such as: head shots, resume reviews, interviews preps, strategy in job hunting, etc. All the team: Shaohua, Shan, Parry, Vinny did an excellent job of covering all topics and encompassing everything that comes with either career change or building up your current career in particular, Shaohua has helped me in every step of my recruitment process. From my experience, I only have positive things to say about the staff including: Rong, Maryam, Amir, instructors: Shaohua, Vinny, Shan, teaching assistants: Parry, Robert and the community at WeCloudData and highly recommend WeCloudData to anyone who is interested in data analytics, data science or data engineering. Finally, this training enabled me to obtain a new position as a data engineer in a well-known bank.

I did some research on data science online before I made a decision. I chose WeCloudData due to their comprehensive curriculum and because their instructors are knowledgeable and professional (Shaohua and Vinny). WeCloudData did a great job of helping me acquire the necessary skills in Data Science before and during the bootcamp. The pre-bootcamp materials helped me get familiar with the essential SQL and Python coding skills and speeded up the learning curve during the bootcamp. I highly recommend whoever wants to join the bootcamp to get prepared, WeCloudData does a great job in providing the necessary materials. During the bootcamp, the course work is very intensive. Although I already have coding experience and mathematical background, I still need to spend at least 10 hours a day to study and finish homework and projects. However, the instructors and teaching assistants are doing their best to ensure everyone can get the most out of the courses. During the bootcamp, I finished two client projects and several portfolio projects to showcase my skills. Two of them are solving real business problems for two well-known companies, which is valuable in terms of professional experience. WeCloudData has a robust professional network. You will have the opportunity to expand your network and show your skills to various companies that are looking for data scientists, data engineer or data analysts. They also dedicated to supporting you find a great job. Overall, I have a very positive experience with WeCloudData. I was suspicious if a bootcamp can make me transit into a data scientist. However, I upgrade my data analytics skills within my company and now I have the necessary skills to work efficiently in any data science project. This program is worth the hard work I put. I am glad that I made this decision. I'd highly recommend this program.

A great place to learn and practice data science. I am taking Machine Learning course currently, and the instructor Vanessa is amazing, and I get a lot of hands-on exercises, and feedback. I like that the course is not only teaching you how to code, but also teach you the fundamental theories of each tool, and how to apply in the real life business problems. I highly recommend all their courses to anyone who wants to become a data scientist.

This program is fantastic! I didn't have a coding background and the way they prepared each module made it easier to understand from basic concepts to Advanced SQL, Python, ML and Data Science that I just finished. It is all very exciting. They really do prepare you and offer great support (includes problem sets, individually and in group and quizzes). Teachers are well connected and help you, no matter the prior experience. When you graduate, you have a portfolio of projects, a very good literature and also hands on practise what is important as they showcase your writing capability.

The course is very well versed in terms of gaining hands on knowledge and experience for people entering into the tech field and for technical people as well. It was detail oriented and provides with a clear concept on various programming languages with very experienced and professional faculty. Overall I would say they are doing an amazing job!!

I got my data science and big data diploma at WeCloudData this July and absolutely loved the experience here. The program was fast-paced yet allowed enough time to fully understand the concepts, and practice with different projects. I also enjoyed the projects to be a combination of the skills taught throughout the program. Guest lectures were very helpful for students to improve their learning in a more interactive way. I highly recommend this program and WeCloudData to anyone who wants to launch a data related career with practical, hands-on experience.

I attended the Data Science & Big Data Diploma from WCD. It helped me learn new concepts in Data Science, Big Data and even an introduction to Deep Learning. More importantly, they give you a chance to work with real world projects with interesting clients and present insights. The curriculum is quite comprehensive and well designed. The group assignments, industry guest lectures and discussions were also fun to be a part of. Even though after few weeks of the course, we had to move the classes online due to the pandemic, they ensured that the learners still have an ongoing engagement and have all the necessary tools and people in place to help with the learning experience. Everyone in their team is extremely helpful, including the lecturers and teaching assistants. They try to guide you as much as possible and give enough personal attention. Only thing that is required of the student is to put in their best effort in the process of learning - be curious (it's a data ''science'' program), follow their instructions, work on your assignments, projects and ask questions.

I had a great experience with the Business Intelligence bootcamp. It was beginner friendly and well structured. I learned new skills like SQL, Python, Tableau and Power BI and used those skills to work on projects i could add to my portfolio. The course had useful quizzes and assignments to practice my new skills. The icing on the cake is the career guidance where they have a mentorship program. I highly recommend this bootcamp for people looking to pivot into the world of Data Analytics.
