The material was easy to understand so much so that I felt like I knew most of it with some basic google searching. If I had to break it down 60% I knew about social media and 40% I did not. While this is true I think it helps with myself to know that the research I was looking up was true. What I like is the accelerated course aspect. I learned material in a month that would probably take a whole college semester which I believe is about 4 months. I learned not only from the teachers but from my fellow students.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

What was it like?
Lots of lessons, advice, coaching and support. We were assigned a LOT of work and we were each pushed to our individual limits – our teachers were determined to get the most out of us. But we were motivated, due to the camaraderie and support.
At the start of the course, I thought I would fail because I wouldn't be able to work hard enough. But I was given lots of support, and the environment was perfect for motivation, and I found that I WAS able to work hard enough.
Our teachers were top-level. One of our teachers had the greatest teaching skill I've ever known. Another had extremely high-performing career experience and was full of essential career, performance, technical and life advice. We learnt not just data science techniques, or industry best-practice, but industry top-level practice and how to organise our lives better.
Overall, due to the structure and people, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I am now moving into ML engineering and this course brought be up to the right level, covering everything I need.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0
