Practicum by Yandex

I have enrolled in the full web development program for two weeks so far and I've learned a ton! By the end of next week, we will be able to use HTML and CSS to create our first project. When I show my project draft to my friends, they were all very impressed.... Read More The project also gives us plenty of opportunities to practice the concepts we learned on the interactive platform such as BEM, Flexbox and positioning. Help from tutors and community managers is abundant and timely as they have staff all over the world with various time zones. I do look forward to more interaction with other students in my cohort in the future and participate in their pair programming, code jams and hackathons!

Studying in the ‘Data Analyst’ program conducted by ‘Practicum by Yandex’ was a nice experience for me to learn lots of new things in a sequential and well-organized way. A basic introductory course, Python and Basic Data Analysis has been provided for... Read More free where anyone can get an idea of the style of the program. Almost everything that is necessary has been included in the mainstream in an organized way and explained in a nice manner so that it has become easier for students from different backgrounds to learn and gain a deep comprehension. It should be mentioned that it's not possible to unlock the next topic without completing the current topic. This approach has given the platform a new dimension so that students are supposed to complete the task with good knowledge. There are several communities of students, support teams, community managers and well-knowledged tutors. All are there to help with any kind of problems; therefore, it has been a nice way to learn and discuss across the time zone. It’s just awesome to see that twelve projects (guided) are also completed within the duration of the original program. In a nutshell, theories, tasks, projects, community and platform all contributed to make the program outstanding. Finishing the course will boost any students’ knowledge, confidence and implementation power as well.

Practicum by Yandex is a really good online BootCamp, I'm a current Web Development student. The curriculum is covering HTML, CSS, BEM, Javascript, Webpack, Node, Express, React, and building full-stack applications. The program is split into 2 weeks... Read More sprints and you need to complete the project to move on to the next sprint. I really liked the project-based approach, and mentors are always available when you have questions. Career support is great, there are career webinars, and a career acceleration program. I got help for rebuilding my resume, Linkedin and cover letter. They are really helpful and supportive, even you can work for companies to complete real-life projects and work in a team.

For a while, I considered going back to school, but I could never justify the cost of attending university all over again. I'd ask myself the same question a thousand times over, "Isn't your education worth the investment?" I wanted so badly to kickstart... Read More my career in Tech without going into debt, ideally to improve my quality of life and to break into the amazing world of gadgets and gizmos, but no program stuck out to me the way Practicum did. Not only is it affordable in comparison to other bootcamps, but my experience with the course material thus far has been nothing short of excellent! A little about my role: I'm currently on track to become a Web Developer (it's still bizarre saying that). I should also mention that I had basically no knowledge of code before I started and already I've worked on four projects during the intro course alone! It excites me to think what all I'll be able to achieve 10 months from now. Like with any commitment, you'll want to make sure that you have the time to dedicate to your studies, but, otherwise, it's all pros! The instructors and community managers are absolutely wonderful and resourceful! There's peer-to-peer discussion channels and senior students as well whom are available to help you along your journey, not to mention the website itself offers support 24/7. While it's encouraged to work independently on your project(s), you're never really alone; there is always help. My favorite aspect to it has to be the the layout and execution of the program itself. As someone who's interested in changing her career, I want to make sure that I'm fit for the industry by the time I graduate. Practicum has proven to be the best decision I've made so far, especially in this regard. They teach in a style that is similar to the what the market is looking for, such as sprint-based projects, so I'm not worried about looking employable by the end; I know I will be. Furthermore, the support is STILL available after you graduate! I wish I could touch on everything that I love about this program, but instead I'll offer a quote that's resonated with me a lot lately, "You miss 100% of the shots that you don't take."

Practicum by Yandex's Web Development Curriculum is quite comprehensive and very well structured and updated according to the current technology stack in the market. I have been learning Web development by myself but this bootcamp has given me a proper... Read More structure and time-line to my journey. The learning platform does a great job in laying out the theory and hands on. The bootcamp not only trains you on technical stuffs but also supports you with mentors who are professional Web developers themselves and always ready to help you out in projects and even side projects. The bootcamp also have community managers who are like our shock absorbers and a great emotional help. Apart from everything else, I like that the bootcamp promotes healthy learning environment and gives us many opportunities to work in real-world like scenarios through its various initiatives. Pros 1. Very supportive community of students, mentors and community managers. 2. The curriculum is comprehensive and always getting updated. 3. The bootcamp's vision to provide students an exposure to the real world situation, is commendable. Cons 1. None as of now.

I have graduated from Practicum by Yandex in web development program. I had basic front-end skills. One day a friend of mine suggested to me Practicum for their advanced web development course. After seeing what skills I can obtain from the course I immediately... Read More signed up. I wanted to become an expert in the front-end/web development field, that's why I decided to start learning with Practicum. I was really amazed by the learning process they used for students. All the lessons are made of the most important and useful contents along with a good amount of coding-test sections where I was able to apply the knowledge I obtained from specific lessons. Most amazing part was, after every sprint/topic I got a real life project which was reviewed by an expert to determine if I was doing it properly or not. Reviewer's were really helpful to improve my code efficiency and quality. Going through all the sprints and challenges I was able to gain confidence in my skills. One more thing about Practicum worth mentioning is their support system. Tutors, community manager, and learning support team they all were really helpful. With them I always got my issues solved almost immediately. I really recommend this course to everyone, especially those who want to build a career in web development.

To say that I am happy with my Yandex expierence would be a huge understatement. Having graduated from the Data Scientist (after approx. 9 months), I am stunned with how much I've learned in such a short amount of time, especially considering my background... Read More is not in tech. I signed up for yandex after graduating with a PhD in philosophy; my goal was to use my critical thinking skills in a tech field that would produce tangible results. I began by trying to learn data science on my own, but was quickly overwhelmed by how much there was to learn. Enter Practicum by Yandex. From the very start of this program, we were given modules in 2-week sprints. Each module consisted of a chapter of material we need to review, tasks for each section of the chapter, and a project. The chapter generally took a few days to go through, and the project about one week (with the grading procedure). When completing the projects, the code is scrutinized by practicing data scientists, and they often provide important feedback that may not have been covered in the course material. On the data science track, you start with learning how to program in python and use data analysis libraries. You then move on to conducting data analysis and statistical analysis. During this time, you practice data visualization in your projects and learn how to structure notebooks. Once the data analysis portion of the program is complete, you branch off into machine learning, which I found most interesting. Each module covers some important aspect of machine learning, and each project sees you building your own model, or oftentimes multiple models. With all that I've learned at Yandex, I've been able to participate in data science competitions and have scored in the top 10%. This is something I know I couldn't have done on my own, and for that I am extremely grateful to Yandex. I will say, I was a bit apprehensive at the start of the program because I saw that the price for the bootcamp was quite a bit lower than similar bootcamps; I guess this must be because lower operating costs, because I honestly could not find anything to complain about. They offer great lessons, robust feedback, constant support through Slack, and a genuinely nice community to be a part of. Having just completed the course this week, I was sad to think that I would be leaving the community now. Amazingly, Yandex had something else up it's sleeve - a career resource course. The course covers all the steps necessary to get a job, from writing an in-depth resume, to building a web presence, to mastering the tech interview. As I said, I am very happy that I chose to study with Practicum by Yandex. It was a fantastic experience, and I am extremely grateful for all the guidance and support I received.

I have no technical background and I thought IT world would be a tough place try to get into. I am currently taking a Web Development program by Practicum and it has been a surprisingly pleasant experience. The material is perfect for any type of learner.... Read More You get videos, written texts and A LOT of practice! Which is a huge advantage. You get to work on real world projects and have an opportunity to work with real clients and experience what it's like to be a web developer. I love that the program is flexible enough to do it while working full time. You have deadlines every two weeks, but you can do the work any time before the deadline. Community is also great with a lot of people to support you along the way. I think it's essential when you are in the beginning of your journey. I am very happy to share this journey with Practicum.

I took the Intro course prior to beginning my web development journey with Practicum by Yandex. I am the type of person that has issues learning online and I have never really done well on those types of courses, however, this is not like your regular... Read More online course. The Practicum course was super engaging with very funny real-life scenarios that kept the content from being boring. Right when you think you are about to get bored, they do an exercise for you to practice and figure out how to do what you just went over by yourself. It's great because you get to reinforce your learning and you have access to the course content and hints in case you get stuck. In a blink of an eye, I was done and watching my tutor help me through the project. The turnaround on the project was within 24 hours, which honestly was amazing! You're not sitting at home wondering for days or weeks how you did. They provided feedback where I could then go in and correct whatever I had errors and could resubmit. Honestly, I'm loving the program and recommend it to anyone. From beginner to advance, you will learn quickly and enjoy your time doing so.

I will be eternally grateful to Practicum for 'launching' me in data science field. Had I not done this bootcamp, I would have never managed to do so many projects, learn about so many different techniques and models which are widely used in the industry... Read More and not just data science related stuff but even general coding in python. I started this course because I did my bachelors in statistics so data science was a natural choice for me. Many students get placed in such roles so I thought that having done this bootcamp will give me an edge. And thanks to this course I changed my masters ( graduate degree) from statistics to computer science because I realised that I like coding much more than statistics. During this course we touched down on all aspects, statistics required, business value, working with text, time series, computer vision, sql queries in python, data mining using api and more. The tutors are there to solve your queries regarding any topic, if life gets in the way and you cannot meet a deadline let your community manager know and they will help you out and also the community, you become a part of, helps you at every step! They also have a career acceleration program where they get you real world projects from companies which you can add to your resume.
