To start, I would highly recommend that anyone consider applying 1) knows with certainty that data science is a field that they want to get into, no matter how difficult and 2) has ALL of their time available for bootcamp. If either of these things aren't the case, then I would instead reccomend self-guided online learning or courses which move much slower. On this second point, I think it's really important to understand that if you wish to perform well in bootcamp, almost all of your waking hours, weekends included, should be committed to it. That model is not sustainable, but it is doable for 12 weeks. Coming into this course, I had almost no technical background, and coming out of it, I feel well qualified to be a part of a team working on almost any data science project.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

The course itself is intensive to say the least since it will require late nights/early mornings and working 50 hour weeks in order to absorb and correctly apply the material. If you plan on joining and do not come from a traditional CS or coding background I highly recommend getting a head start with familiarizing yourself with SQL & Python. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend BrainStation to anyone looking to further careers!

The feedbacks on the assignments and projects were great. The instructors and HAs were very helpful and responsive. They have multiple work shops that help with not only learning the knowledge but also learning how to get a job and write your resume/linkedin. However, it is very intense so for that three months there is no time to have fun or hang out with friends and basically no weekends.

We also touched upon the foundation of building neural network using keras. I also had chance to work with different types of data, numeric data, text data, image data etc. The educators and TA are very supportive in learning and Capstone guidance.

The only thing I did not like is it's way more expensive. 16000$ is too much for 3 months.
Talking about content it has been super amazing, starting from SQL, then ML techniques and there production. In improvement I would say BS can work on foucusing SQL and other relationship databases as these are the things which matter the most in a entry level job. Also I have not learned anything about MS excel which actually most companies actually require for analysis.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support2.0Instructors5.0 -
