Maven Analytics

The boot camp experience is worthwhile. It is the best investment I can recommend for anyone who is looking to pivot their career and learn a full stack analytics. I have learned so much and yet I feel I could have learned more. Six months ago I knew nothing about SQL, Tableau and Power BI. During the boot camp, I completed the course assignments in all of those topics, and presented my projects to the cohort and instructors. The project assignments, instructors' feedback and peer reviews really help to strengthen the technical and communication skills. This differentiates Maven from other online learning platform: a focus on the skills that make one a great analyst. I can't thank Maven team enough for this journey. 

Maven has a very well-structured program with valuable and relevant content for a career-pivoter like myself. The guided learning for Excel, Power BI, Tableau, and MySQL was easy to follow and enjoyable. I loved being able to visually track my progress and get immediate feedback about my quiz/test performance to identify skills that needed more attention. I was thrilled to build quality projects for potential employers which was my impetus for joining Maven. During the boot camp, the entire Maven team was genuinely positive and encouraging. They were all directly available to answer questions, so it never felt like the team was a multi-level, out-of-touch corporation. Based on my experience working with the Maven team, I can say they are true data experts with a collective abundance of experience and knowledge. They were highly adept at providing the precise balance of challenge to push me forward in my learning. The weekly career chats were valuable in improving my ability to market myself as a Data Analyst. I was especially grateful for candid feedback about my resume from people who have authentic experience hiring Analysts! As a career-pivoter, I needed this! The Maven team had a sincere desire to see me succeed which was especially evident when they supported me AFTER the boot camp with a job skills assessment and negotiating for a higher salary. Within just a few weeks of completing the boot camp, I found employment with a company that aligns with my values. I can't say enough wonderful things about the team, and I am thrilled about my new career!

This program was a career changing program that changed my life in twelve weeks. I was equipped with skills in Excel, SQL, Power BI, and Tableau. I am now consulting as an analyst and would not have made it without the support of the Maven team. They were all very interactive with me and checked in on me every day throughout the bootcamp. Towards the end they even made the efforts of helping me prepare for interviews and building an amazing resumé and LinkedIn profile to help me stand out in the data world! Here are some pros and cons Pros: 1. Maven has an amazing team to guide you from the start of your journey to the finish (getting a job) 2. They transformed me from someone who didn’t know what a Vlookup is into a certified excel expert. (They prepare you for the tough certification tests, rather it be excel, power bi, tableau, or sql) 3. They built an environment that felt felt like a workplace. (During the bootcamp we had multiple group projects where we worked together to build dashboards. This built a dynamic that allowed us to grow as analyst and prepared us to work with other analyst) 4. You never felt alone. (Trying to break through into any career you want to be in isn’t easy. So having a team that has all worked in that field and can help you get there is best guidance you can ask for. Also, having classmates that understand the same struggles you are having helps you talk them out and learn more! I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to have this bootcamp with!) Cons: 1. The time required. (If you aren’t prepared to put in 40 hours a week into this bootcamp, you more than likely will struggle. But, if you are still interested in Maven, check out there new and upcoming PART TIME BOOTCAMP. This is intended for people who are already working jobs and wanting to make the career switch) 2. There are no others! Attending Maven’s bootcamp was the best career choice I’ve ever made Final notes: If you aren’t looking to do a bootcamp, and are leaning towards self paced learning, still make sure to check out there website. I had a subscription before the bootcamp and I loved the self paced courses so much that I joined the bootcamp!

Bootcamp course focusing on the core Data/BI analyst skills. Well structured working from Excel, through Power Query and Power BI, Tableau and SQL. Maven specialize in data and their expertise in this field is evident throughout, the cohorts are small and due to this it is a much more personal experience . I entered the course to make a career switch and the course far exceeded any expectations, giving me the techincal skills and overall understanding to gain employment in data analysis. Complex topics are broken down and explained logically with the team supporting throughout. The courses are backed up with projects to solidify understanding and techniques and further practise. Beyond the technical skills, the course also has an excellent focus on job support, making sure linkedin profiles and resumes are strong and effective and helping with avenues into the industry. First rate.
