I have completed 2 certificate programs at Noble Desktop in NYC - a 90-hour front-end web design certificate that included classes in HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and JQuery, HTML email, Photoshop for web and UI, and mobile and responsive web design. No more Dreamweaver and WYSIWYG, this is all coding! The second certificate built onto the first, and added a 30-hour back-end web development program which included PHP and MySQL and WordPress.org. I learned tons, and the teachers were excellent. The coursebooks are such a valuable tool to use with my projects, and being able to take additional classes live online makes it easy to keep learning. I was able to code a WordPress theme from scratch with what I learned form the WordPress.org class, and was even asked to speak at this past summer's Wordcamp NYC. The instructors know their stuff, and really make learning fun. Nothing is rushed, and they take time to answer all questions. And having the option to re-take a class is also great. These courses were a very worthwhile investment - would recommend to anyone. 

Received FLAG company's offer after training with Guo, Jacky and Kailin. They have been extremely helpful and responsible designing and teaching customized courses including SQL and PYTHON, and the course in preparation for behavior questions. I graduated from US top 50th University with dual bachelor degrees but, after 2 years of working at a startup company, I still feel like there is a distance between my ability and the real industry job descriptions. After understanding of my situation, Jacky and Kailin designed and customized the course as they did for each applicant, setup training schedule for each week and provided training materials with pertinence(eg. window functions in SQL, A/B testing in Python, thinking process during the interview). Guo is very reliable keeping you on track as he organzied meeting weekly for applicants sharing our feedbacks after interviews and practice leetcodes together. I feel much more confident during the interview as my abilities got huge improved during each week's 1on1 training and group studies. Overall it was a great outcome and I would definitely recommend taking this course if you are seeking for an analyst opportunity.

1. Write notes continuously or you won't learn anything.
2. Use your mentor to keep you on-track, motivate you, and unstuck you.
3. Pick a capstone project topic you are actually care about so you won't get bored of it.
4. Follow career guidance advice to the tee, it's good advice even if you think it's silly.
5. Use your high tuition cost as a motivation to finish sooner.
6. And the most important one:  you learn only as much as the effort you put into it!

1. Course material could be ordered better, I had to go back and forth between different chapters to understand certain topics.  Notes also helps.
2. All their materials can be found online for free, which in my opinion was not a major problem, however the sections that were behind paywall were definitely a problem for me.  I hope they eventually replace them with free ones.
3. The course is expensive, don't go into it expecting a miracle just because you paid a lot of money.  You are still responsible for yourself, but the course will help.

• There are some programs available to help with tuition. 
• The tuition cost is very reasonable and they offer Flexible payment options.
• The class size is small which allows the instructor to help students during or after class times. 
• The schedule is very relaxed and designed for people with busy lives. 
• The course is beneficial for all experience levels. You will learn C Sharp (C#) through the course while learning how programming concepts are applied in real world scenarios/ industry.  
• After the course they offer career counseling. 

Before enrolling in the bootcamp at Danger Education, I was working as an AML analyst at a small to medium-sized Chinese bank. Unfortunately, my experience there was marred by discrimination from my line manager, leading to numerous instances of unfair treatment. This period was one of the most challenging times in my life.

One day, a senior colleague recommended that I study data science to better equip myself for future career development. Taking this advice to heart, I decided to enroll in the data science bootcamp offered by Danger Education.

The bootcamp was a transformative experience. I gained a wealth of technical skills and knowledge, including web scraping, PySpark, Python, SQL, and various data analytics techniques. The curriculum was comprehensive and practical, providing me with hands-on experience that proved to be invaluable.

After completing the course at Danger Education, I successfully secured a position at Deutsche Bank, one of the leading investment banks in the world. My manager at Deutsche Bank has consistently praised the depth of my technical skills and my ability to apply data science concepts to real-world problems. In fact, he specifically mentioned that "Dickson has joined the bank for a year and in that time has proven himself to be a quick learner and an asset to the team." These skills, honed during my time at Danger Education, have allowed me to excel and contribute meaningfully to my team.

I highly recommend Danger Education's data science bootcamp to anyone looking to advance their career in data science. The practical skills, supportive learning environment, and expert instruction provided a solid foundation that opened new doors for me in my professional journey.

When I signed up for Inventive Academy about two months ago there were no reviews on Course Report because the bootcamp had only just been registered (under its new name: Inventive Academy rather than Inventive University) with the Texas Workforce Commission. I am currently part of the first cohort of 2019 and we just finished week 8, which is the first week of JavaScript.

I wanted to write a review specifically for anyone who is in the position I was in before I signed up--thinking that the bootcamp looked incredible on paper but a bit confused by the lack of reviews. I can assure you that the bootcamp is as incredible as it appears-- currently 5 hours in-class, 4 days a week, 26 weeks and really they are very generous about helping you during non-class hours, either answering questions promptly online or even allowing you to stop by their offices to hang out. Inventive is also a consulting company, so during the day they are there working as professional developers. This means that there is no risk of getting an inexperienced instructor for the course... Andy and Miguel know their stuff and are both very kind.

I suppose it's hard to know if you are fully satisfied with your bootcamp until you land your first job, but so far Inventive Academy has me feeling very confident and vindicated in my decision to attend. To put it in perspective, by the end of the first week you can reproduce the layout of an actual (albeit simple) website using HTML and CSS and by the end of week seven you feel pretty confident that you could replicate just about any web layout that you come across. And there are still nineteen weeks to go at that point!

Sometimes they can throw you pretty abruptly into some pretty complex problems, so you do have to learn how to teach yourself (being able to teach yourself is a necessary skill in the field of coding with its rapidly-changing technologies). But the teachers and TA's are always sitting right there next to you ready to answer any question. Classes are a lot of fun, and it's probably not a bad thing that they are sometimes very challenging.

I recommend Inventive Academy without reservation.
