From rookie to Data Analyst Yandex course is really amazing. I took Data Analytics course (I was a rookie in this field). From the very beginning I've learned basics of python, python for data analysis, sql, tools for data visualization and analysis... So many new things! And this things are really good structured within the course. Exercises, built on practice and real-based cases, very interesting projects in the end of each module... I definitely feel confident and currently applying for a job in this field. Thank you Yandex, and Yandex Team for helping me along this way!

TripleTen was a spontaneous decision… TripleTen was just a spontaneous decision spurred from an Instagram ad during a time of uncertainty in my career. It has been a great decision and a better challenge for myself, pushing to achieve things I didn't think I could accomplish while working a full-time career. The staff for TripleTen have been extremely accommodating, supportive, and most importantly... knowledgeable! I recommend going through either of their programs if you feel, like I did myself, that you could've/should've gone down a tech-centered career path. It is never too late to make a positive change knowing there's a support system there to push you to your final goals!

A solid introduction to web devleopment I took the free web development intro course and it was great! I've taken a lot of online classes for this topic, but Practicum by Yandex provided a unique approach by having you feel like you're in a real-world internship. The course covers the basics of HTML and CSS well, still breaking things down step-by-step, but you get to complete an actual project very quickly. It makes you want to keep learning, which is very important.

TripleTen Data Science Program: Self-Paced Success I decided to enroll in the TripleTen Data Science program to pivot into a new, innovative, and in-demand career. I was hoping to secure a well-paying, engaging, and cutting-edge job in data science. TripleTen seemed like the perfect choice for my coding journey due to their extensive support, custom coding platform, job search assistance, and the money-back guarantee if I couldn’t find a job. The positive reviews also played a significant role in my decision. During a typical week of learning at TripleTen, I dedicated several hours every day to reading the chapter information, doing the corresponding assignments, and researching deeper into many of the topics covered. During project sprints, my time was dedicated to systematically working through each part of the project, from exploratory data analysis and data visualization to meeting the project’s goal. The interactive platform and the projects were definitely my favorite parts of this program. Having a dedicated coding platform made it easy to write and run code without needing to worry about having the computing resources on my own computer or needing to install necessary libraries. The projects helped me gain confidence in applying what I learned to a hypothetical but realistic project that a company might really have. Towards the end of the program, I encountered a serious bug on the coding platform. Despite submitting correct neural network code, my submissions were not being accepted, which hindered my progress. However, the tutors were friendly and apologetic, promptly contacting the relevant tech support to resolve the issue. This happened two or three times, but once the issue was resolved, I was able to proceed freely with one or two weeks lost. Assuming these technical issues were not resolved by now, take this into consideration when looking at this program. In terms of value for money, I believe the bootcamp was worth the cost. It’s an excellent option for those looking to quickly gain new skills or transition into a new field. However, it’s important to note that this program is largely self-paced and requires a significant amount of independent learning. My advice to those just starting their coding journey is to ensure that you can be an independent and self-paced learner. Create a strict schedule to allow just that to occur, without giving in to the temptation to cut corners or not dive into topics to the degree needed. Overall, I would rate this bootcamp 5 out of 5 stars. It’s a great program for those who are comfortable with self-paced learning and are looking to quickly propel themselves into the field of data science.

Great and Fun Experience So far I have been taking the Data Science Course with TripleTen and am loving the structure and pace that comes with it. Up to this point I have had some basic experience with coding and implementing it to real world applications but this course is totally different. We as students are able to show our creativity when it comes to showing off the skills we learn throughout each sprint. This is what sets TripleTen apart from the rest of the masses. What I truly enjoy is how each sprint really is able to present the information in a detailed and compact format. The material encourages students to dig deeper for other information that one may need or is curious about knowing for their future careers. Something that I will add too is being able to continue to research and keep up the pace with specific deadlines really creates an environment that students will get used to in their future endeavors. I am very lucky and fortunate enough to have been able to enroll and progress along towards a new change and know that if you are at all interested in joining the growing tech industry this is the place that you should start with.
