After hearing about the program from an… After heading about the program from an old friend, I decided to jump onboard, and haven't looked back! I wound up taking two stacks at first and have now added the third. It was a steep learning curve at first, but going through the motions and really taking the time to learn proved to be beneficial. Definitely would recommend this school to anyone looking to get a second chance at a career or a new beginner.

Pros and Cons Pros: instructors, overall curriculum, helping build your resources to be a full stack developer, the online learning platform. Cons: Career services team. The team is overburdened and doesn’t have the ability to support all students. Example - sending a resume to review. Not hearing back for 2 weeks and then them completing it during a meeting. They also don’t have connections with companies to help get you placed.

Also I remember the times in code review where he would go beyond time schedule to make sure I understood and answer all my questions . I’m still on coding journey, thank you Coding Dojo for firm foundation!

Shop around a bit I did the 20-week data science program and it taught me the basics of what a data analyst and data engineer does. Note the difference! You will need experience and training beyond this course to make it as a data scientist. The certificate is way too expensive in my opinion. If you are a beginner, you definitely will learn a bunch and it will take 25 hours per week at a minimum to understand. The teachers were cool and they gave us plenty of opportunities to ask for help beyond the weekly meetings. However, the "career service" was just Zoom calls explaining how to connect on Linked In. To land a career as an analyst, you will likely need a bachelor's degree to compete with the hundreds of other resumes. This course might benefit someone who knows how to start a business with a few other people. Other than that, you will need to either know someone in the field willing to hire you or go all out on their career path via Linked-In (message 10 people per day) to gain employment. However, you can find basic data science courses for less than $50 to test out the waters before committing to a course of this magnitude and expense.

Way overpriced to listen to someone… Way overpriced to listen to someone recite text for 40 hours a week, then to study on your own. Save yourself some cash and learn at your own pace with a more well-rounded approach.
