Big Blue Data Academy: An Honest Approach
Big Blue Data Science Bootcamp covers all major DS subjects, from data cleaning and EDA, all the way to Timeseries forecasting, Machine Vision and Power BI, via SQL and more. The full-time option is FAST PACED, and it is advised that prospects spend time beforehand to learn (much...) more than just the mere basics of Python and SQL to avoid excessive stress.

The full-time option is FAST PACED, and it is advised that prospects spend time beforehand to learn (much...) more than just the mere basics of Python and SQL to avoid excessive stress. The course itself is quite demanding, albeit highly rewarding. If enrolling for the full-time option, make sure you devote at least 10 hours a day to the course (8 hours classes + 2 hours revision and practice), as both midterm and final exams can surprise you. Staff is knowledgeable, Support throughout the course is good, but one is also expected to put in the work on their own. The final project is very real-world, business-oriented and a great experience for the future.
Overall, a serious course for serious applicants. Requires devotion, and a SOLID pre-existing knowledge of Python, SQL, etc. Graduates often get job offers by the end of the course and also get to form a small professional network during the course.

All of the knowledge was disseminated and thoroughly explained with live coding, following a well-structured spine of presentations. Instructors are professionals that help you understand theory using real life examples from their own business experience. On the organizational part, Discord, edx and gitlab are ideal platforms and give the student a peace of mind about organizing their work. Needless to say that all software needed for coding is free of charge. DA Bootcamp program was not only about theory and quick exercises. Project implementation required combination af all the knowledge earned during the classes, in real life scenarios and timelines. Personally, I have been trying to acquire this knowledge alone, following MOOCS and self-paced online platforms, for years. I highly recommend BigBlue Data Academy - Data Analytics Bootcamp, as it has a complete curricula and it shows you a correct and complete path forward, towards a Data Analytics career. - Aggelos TzortzisGraduate • Data Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineJun 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
