• longer duration of the course (4.5 months compared to 3);
• broader program and more workload on the course (Beginner and Middle level topics, 2 two-hour lectures/practices on weekdays + 4-hour practices every Saturday as opposed to only Beginner level topics and 2 meetings of 2 hours);
• choice of your own topic for the graduation project (instead of the whole group creating different variants for a real client based on a specific task, which the client paid for, to have the graduates choose his task, as it happens at Projector);
• not the least reason was the work of the sales manager, who provided me with the level of service that was not in the first failed option and the usual communication with the sales manager from Projector, whose interest in getting me on the course was not felt.

• support from the academy throughout the course;
• the teacher! Her level of knowledge, ability to explain, interest in the success of students, willingness to help with every question that arises;
• own LMS, where each lesson has homework, several video lessons, and a lot of quality textual information taken from various well-known and not very reliable sources;
• slight changes in the program or individual homework at the choice of the teacher — it was done to give us only the necessary knowledge, based on real cases in practice;
• a well-thought-out process of defending the graduation project and the ability to defend it in English;
• friendly community within the group and overall at the academy;
• the presence of educational events, workshops, and free career counseling for each student;
• cool merch for all students;
• the ability to split the payment for the course into a convenient number of parts.

• somewhat outdated links to some information;
• in general, the order of video lectures sometimes confused, and sometimes there was a feeling that the videos were taken from previous versions of this course;
• the teacher's answers to questions about the course/graduation project, even within the allocated time, were long and postponed to another day, despite her online presence;
• minor errors in tests and in some places not very well-thought-out UI/UX in LMS.

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.
