Starting from Python basics and by the end mastering complex ML algorithms, with the help and guidance of teachers who have real world experience in the field. Although tough, due to the amount of information provided, the way the bootcamp is structured helps you ease into more advanced subjects through the use of practical exercises that mimic real world scenarios. At the end of each course module we were split into teams in order to complete data science projects and present them to the rest of the class. This was a great chance to revise the material of each module, as well as cooperate with our fellow students, again mimicking the way you would function in an actual data science/analytics team. The course material is very well structured making it easy to return to it whenever you need to refresh your knowledge. It is also important to mention that you continue to have access to it, even after you graduate. Throughout the bootcamp we also had courses regarding job assistance. These included how to structure your CV, how to conduct yourself in a phone, in-person or technical interview and much more. Again I would like to mention here that the job assistance part does not conclude at graduation, the stuff and teachers are eager to assist you with any questions or guidance you need even after you graduate. All in all I am truly satisfied with my experience in the bootcamp, it exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to jump start their career in the world of Data. - Tsakalas NikolaosGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp • OnlineDec 21, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Intense, project-based, challenging.
It was a nice experience to participate in the Data Science bootcamp of Big Blue Data Academy. It was an intense, project-based bootcamp, where I learned the latest tools for data analysis in practice. Instructors were well qualified. After fiinishing it, one will not be overwhelmed by most challenges in the data field, as you learn to find solutions yourself, it is very practical and ends with a big project in collaboration with a data company with real data and a challenging task. - Gerasimos PanagiotakopoulosTranslations Coordinator • Graduate • Data Analytics Bootcamp • OnlineJul 12, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Informative, detailed, engaging, intensive!
There are many hours, and a lot of material is covered. The instructors try their best to keep everyone engaged in the course material. Getting out, I'm confident that I learned a lot of tools a data analyst uses and I'd definitely consider moving on to the Data Science section! - Athanasios RentiniotisMechanical Engineer, MEng, MSc, MBA • Graduate • Data Science Bootcamp • OnlineJun 21, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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.
