- The only national accredited Data Science Bootcamp in the United States
The academy offers accredited data science and data analytic bootcamps in New York City and remotely online. The programs can be completed within 3 months, 4 months, and 6 months. In these programs, students learn beginner and intermediate levels of Data Science with Hadoop, Spark, Github, Docker, and SQL, as well as popular and useful Python and R packages like XgBoost, Caret, Dplyr, Ggplot2, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and more.
- Individual/ group projects showcased to hiring partners
Once the learning foundation has been set, students work on multiple projects through the Bootcamp. The program distinguishes itself by the breadth of its curriculum as well as by balancing intensive lectures with real-world project work. Students will work individually and with teams throughout the program to create at least four projects showcased to employers through multiple channels; private hiring partner events, student blogs, meetups, and film presentations.
- Lifetime Career Support
The academy also offers solid lifetime career support. There are four channels of engagement: Tech interview prep, unlimited mentorships, career services adviser who's forwarding your resume on your behalf, and a lifetime job portal. We also provide mock interviews, including challenges and behavioral questions and 1-on-1 post-interview reviews and feedback meetings from career mentors.

"Worthy of your time and effort"
This bootcamp was suggested to me by my friend. She has done very well after completing the program. I'm a bit different to her. She has a math degree and my background is in languages and business. Also, I have zero experience in Data Science or programming... Read More

"HEY - DO IT!!"
I was in the person reading this review's shoes not too long ago and chose to attend the full-time program in the first quarter of 2020 due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews that I read on this page. As a career switcher from finance, I think NYCDSA... Read More

"The bootcamp experience can't get better than this"
In trying to enter the Data Science field, I came to the conclusion that the bootcamp route was my goldilocks option, somewhere between self-teaching (low cost/commitment) and a master’s degree (high cost/commitment). If you come to the same conclusion,... Read More

"PASS"
I won't go into a description of what the Bootcamp offers - you can find that in the reviews below. All of them are accurate as to the material that the program offers.
I'll give my opinion of the FINANCIAL sense of going to this Bootcamp versus others... Read More
Let's do a compare and contrast with springboard.com (not paid for this, just using as an example)
Springboard
$7,500 upfront tuition ($8,900 if paid in installments)
Full Refund Guarantee (after 6 months of no job)
Deferred Tuition until you land a job
NYC Data Science
$17,000 tuition ($5,000 deposit just to get started)
No refund guarantee
No deferred tuition option
You'd think with that price tag, there'd be some awesome job network or assistance provided, right?
Not really.
They might send you a prospect once every two weeks.
But, all the interviews I gained were through my own efforts on LinkedIn.
The most they'll tell you is some superficial styling tips for your resume.
And that's about it. Connections they do not provide.
There was supposed to be a networking event with employers at the end of the program.
Didn't happen.
The closest to that was an invitation to a "Gender Equalithon" hackathon by Esteem whose stated goal is to "Hire & Retain Women, People of Color, LGBTQ, Latinx in Tech".
The point of this is - is that job assistance is important. The material can be learned anywhere - other bootcamps, online, universities.
But the major selling point for these operations is the job assistance and access to their professional network.
And by that metric, NYC Data Science doesn't deliver.
P.S.
The reason you probably don't see more negative reviews of these bootcamps, is because people are still angling for job assistance and most too are scared to speak up or burn bridges.
