Pipeline Data Engineering Academy

I had done a lot of online courses related to Data Engineering but it always felt like I didn't learn enough to land a job as a Data Engineer, so I decided to sign up for the Data Pipeline Academy Bootcamp and it was the best decision ever. Despite learning... Read More online during the entire Bootcamp because of the Corona situation, I felt like I was at a table with my classmates, we learned a lot of topics with real examples and hands-on exercises. Also my coaches Daniel and Peter were always there to help and takes us to the next level with technical and career coaching. In my 11th week, I landed a job as a Data Engineer and couldn't be happier about it. I totally recommend the Bootcamp for someone who wants to dig deeper into Data engineering topics.

I joined this course having little knowledge of programming languages or data architectures. My aim was to learn best practices for different data architecture setups and have confidence when working on variety of IT projects. In this course I gained... Read More so much more than the knowledge about data architecture. I learned the generic approach of how to move forward in the unknown technical field, how to tackle bugs, how to separate good products from confusing ones. All the courses that I had done in the past gave me an illusion that I am learning successfully. In reality I was not able to implement my knowledge because of unsuccessful tech environment setup. After this bootcamp I know how to keep persisting to make things work. I am now able to consult companies on their data processes, do much more efficient analysis, and even build simple but important solutions. The key drawback was the time limitation, the pace was really quick and sometimes I wish we had more time to finish tasks. But on the bright side, now I know many tools and can come back to them with confidence when I want.

When I decided to join Pipeline, I already knew it would not be the easiest school. But with the right attitude, motivation and following the guide of the experienced instructors I was able to turn myself into a data engineer. I was surprised about myself... Read More after I could develop my first data product end to end. I could learn about the different tools that are needed and apply them to real life data projects. If I would hesitate to apply for a data engineering position in the past, I am confident now that, after completion of the course, I feel like a good data engineer candidate and well equipped to succeed in the new chapter of my professional career.

I could not decide whether to begin one of the well-known Data Science courses or to be part of the founding cohort of this Data Engineering Bootcamp. In the end I’ve chosen Pipeline Academy because I wanted to learn how to bring data products to life,... Read More from end to end. After my graduation I am totally able to apply for Data Engineering or similar positions. I know about the tools, have tried them during the course or at least know how to learn or replace the „fast-fashion“ ones among them. I cannot imagine how amazing this course will be after the pandemics on site!
