Ubiqum Code Academy

I would highly recommend Ubiqum to anyone looking to further their tech education. 
It's also great for those who don't come from a technical background, but keep in mind that you'll need to overcome frustration when things don't come easily.
You'll gain experience thanks to the methodology "learning by doing", with great mentors and a class full of other students with the same problems and questions.
The first projects help to understand the core concepts of programming, and then the course becomes more challenging. Great investment!

At the begining, the methodology of learning by doing was a bit dificult for me, so new and so many new concepts, but you can see the results since the first moment:the "learn by doing" method makes you feel like you are in a role play game in a real business, offering real solutions to real problems.Every day you learn something new, and even is it dificult, the mentors helps you and aims you to follow working on it.

Moreover, after the first month you start to make some coaching sessions to help you get rid of insecurities and to ease your entrance in the job market.
Finally, the academy itself helps you with the CV and Linkedin and by hiring another company specialized in job finding in order to maximize your chances to find a job.

To switch careers is always challenging, at Ubiqum code academy you are immerse in a challenging ambience (in the good sense of the sentence). From day one they present you your "new job", the "learn by doing" method makes you feel like you are in a role play game in a real business, offering real solutions to real problems. Depends on you how seriously you decide to take the challenge, but don't worry and don't be too hard on you. Mentors will always be there to help. Anyway if you feel the temptation to be too hard on you the program includes coaching sessions where you will learn to forgive yourself in case something went wrong so you can keep having a positive attitude to keep learning with the whole process. The coaching sessions also include techniques to approach fear and be resilient. Mentors will trace the path, but you will organise yourself to follow it, that way they ensure you learn a whole process and way of working. 

My scientific background helped in some things but it's important to have a business point of view, which I learned in the course and started to apply. Prepare presentations to a non-technical audience, how present profit and risk for a business, approach a problem/analysis from the business point of view, business goals, ...

The data analytics course at Ubiqum academy is an immersive 16-week program into the world of data handling. The methodology is intensive, hands-on, and immediately dives you into the world of being able to use/read/manipulate data. The tasks are structured as real-life scenarios, so you gain relevant skills. I was astounded how much I learnt in such a short time. The ethos of their education platform is ‘to learn by doing’. This is certainly the case. By the end of week 3, I was already proficient in using WEKA and presenting findings as a data analyst. With no prior knowledge! Having your fellow students to bounce off, we all became great friends and discussed all things data. The course is very insightful, and opened a window into a world I never knew existed. All the staff at Ubiqum are super friendly, and you can approach them with anything. They will go out of their way to get things sorted and make sure your time at Ubiqum is enjoyable. Everyone at Ubiqum (staff, programmers and data analysts) gets together for food and drinks on Fridays, and there are so many events and activities to join in with. I would highly recommend this course if you are looking to get into data. The job demand is huge, and this course will certainly equip you with the skills you need to be top of the list for those demands.
