"My Observation on Practicum"
As a Ph.D. student I started to study data science in Practicum, which is really amazing. The team and mentors are great and I see advancing. My intent is advancing much more and I advice this experience to any one who is serious and has intent to study... Read More
The support team helps you when you need, community managers helps and here for you anytime when you feel stuck and your reviewers and mentors helps you to figure out problems.
Also the study is based on theoratical and practical structure. I feel I'm learning theoretical background while learning applicable data science.
My other focus is studying data science in Y-Data School.
Thanks Practicum team.

Every big module has a project which is reviewed by experienced professionals, The review you get really helps to learn better. It was really helpful to me. All the projects and modules need to be completed within the timeline which helps you to make daily learning habits. It has more than 15 projects for Data Scientists track which is the best part.
Online biweekly webinars are learning with fun, The instructor was a former data scientist. He always shares tips and tricks from his experience.
This Bootcamp was a complete package that you don't want to miss, one of the best learning experience.

"A Supportive, Rigorous, and Hands-on Bootcamp"
I'm currently finishing up the Data Analysis track (roughly 6 months to complete) as an Alpha tester of which I have found to be a highly positive experience. The program is innovative in its bi-weekly sprint-like teaching approach in which students have... Read More
As a newbie in the tech field I was lost with the number of resources available. My background is in psychology but I wanted to learn how to code to augment my research skills as I aspire to be a data analyst in the tech or nonprofit sector. Being a new field to me I felt really lost about what the whole data analysis process looks and among many other questions. I decided to take many courses on other platforms (ie. Coursera, Udacity, DataQuest) but TBH most of them only taught me the basics and didn't get me an in-depth understanding of the field nor advanced my data analysis skills. Thankfully, I came across the Practicum by Yandex Data Analysis program of which has met and surpassed that need! The courses are tailored to gradually develop the needed skills in data analysis (ie. systems thinking, python, asking great questions etc.) as well as to help you get a more nuanced understanding of what the field will entail (webinar, projects, etc.).
All that to say that I'm very impressed with and happy to be apart of Practicum's Data Analysis program! I have no question to believe that the other programs that they teach (web development, data science etc.) are of the same, if not greater quality. Speaking from my personal experience, if you're truly looking to develop the necessary skills and understanding to become an effective data analyst then this is the program for you.
