    Full Stack Web Development

    The course in general is well structured, it starts with fundamentals, and then introduces the "hip" side of JavaScript.
    All instructors are competent and friendly. 
    It gives you a lot of freedom to work on your own project and implement your own ideas.

    Full Stack Web Development

    Spiced Academy was the opportunity I was looking for to finally ramp up my knowledge in coding during my sabbatical. I appreciate that there was even an assessment process to begin with, to understand if I was cut out for it and to see through the course finally. The course is demanding and not for the faint of heart to say the least -- there are subjects and projects that require full attention and devotion to be fully mastered and covered, even beyond the scope of the duration of the c...

    Great experience!

    I did the Full-Stack course during lockdown and it was one of my best life decisions since it helped me land a job as a full-stack web developer. Spiced Academy gives you the foundation and tools to start your career in web development. I found it impressive how Spiced changes their curriculum to suit the job market for example, they no longer teach Angular, but React and I saw that they've also included TypeScript as well as JavaScript. The teachers are really enthusiast and we rotated ...

    Amazing Staff, Course Content and Projects!

    I joined the 3-month Data Science BootCamp course from May'21 till Aug'21. Coming from an engineering plus finance background, I found the overall difficulty of the course to be medium level. I really liked the fact that all the different areas of data science were covered through the use of very interesting and relevant projects. Another big point is that by the end of the course you will have a portfolio of Data Science projects on Github to show to your future employers.

    Good Course Bad Timing

    I attended the bootcamp at the beginning of the year 2021. Even though it was full remote everything went very well. The instructors were very helpful and were always online if you needed any help. Some were helping you even in their 15 min course breaks! I was very satisfied with the courses and the instructors. 
    One flaw that I can say is that the career sessions were taking place between courses and it was really annoying! In the pace of this intensive bootcamp it is completely imp...

    Great experience, would recommend

    I learned more than I expected to from this boot camp. The instructors were both knowledgeable and helpful, and the course materials are a great reference to consult moving forward. It gave me a lot more confidence working with data and in Python in general. I almost want to dive straight into the full-stack program, but alas, I must seek employment!

    Data Science Bootcamp

    I attended the bootcamp during lockdown in spring 2020 and I can highly recommend it. With only little to none knowledge of coding/data science I learned so much that I succeeded in finding an internship and a following "real job" as a data engineer afterwards. The bootcamp is super intense and I would recommend it only to people who are really willing to learn and invest a lot of time during these 3 months. The Spiced teachers were super friendly and almost all of them were a good help,...

    Awesome Data Science Course

    This fantastic Data Science Bootcamp is a great opportunity to dive into the world of Data Science and learn many different methods. For twelve different main topics you got the oppertunity to work on our own projects. This course is more than a brief introduction of the topics you really dive into the different fields e.g. Machine Leraning, Software Engineering, Time Series Analysis or Data Piplienes to just name a few. 
    The teachers are great and totally interact with the students a...

    A very well taught and compressive Data Science course

    The Data Science bootcamp at Spiced was very well structured and hands on. The course material covers the broad spectrum of Data Science. And although this is a wide and complex field, the teaching staff managed nicely to deliver the essence of each topic and to lead is through it, without loosing us at any point. And this in only 3 month. Of course in this short time period, in-depth knowledge can't be achieved. But self-assigned graduation projects can be used to dive a bit deeper into...

    For a long time I was interested in learning Python and a bit curious (albeit sceptical) about data science. It wasn’t until I joined this course that good instruction, curiosity and use-case connectivity collided to really unlock an expressivity that had been trapped within me since adolescence. If this sounds a bit like therapy, then I’d say go with the flow: early on, I found myself genuinely “in my element” and I (actively) decided not to look back. I have a mediocre maths degree fro...

    *** Overall experience ***
    It was clear to me early on that I wanted to take a data science course. So I searched thoroughly to find a course that suited me and read many reviews. Not only did I want to learn data analysis and programming in Python, but I also wanted to do this in a short period of time combined with the latest machine learning techniques. The course at SPICED Academy was very demanding, but the quality was worth it, the teacher support for the participants was great ...
