Practicum by Yandex

When i started my journey with Practicum by Yandex for data science program, I had no clue about python , stats , machine learning or anything but after few weeks i started implementing in office my seniors are happy with my work , now i can create different... Read More machine learning models which is helping my organization to achieve there goals

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 data science.

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.

I think Yandex Practicum is a good Data Science course for beginners. We've studied different Python libs like Pandas, Sklearn in the theory exerciser. And we've made a lot of projects as well. Hence we have theory and practise. Community managers, support... Read More team, tutor always helped with issues. But there were a lot of bugs that slowed down the learning process, webinars need to be improved. I hope Yandex will fix all bugs in the future and become the best Data Science course.

With Yandex.Practicum you just start to do things. Education process follows the rule "Less theory, more practice" and this is great! I already finished 1/3 of the Data Science program and wrote 4 projects with real review process (by human). I'm recommending... Read More the platform if you don't know from what to start. Practicum gives you a full view of the day-to-day tasks, what you will do on this job title and how to do a decision making. In other words you will prepare to reality of a speciality.

I really love this course because it is possible to learn to code even though I never coded before. Before this course, I have tried to learn through many methods, like joining clubs at school and Hour of Code. However, this course teaches very clearly... Read More and anyone can benefit from it, no matter their experience level because of the Slack community tutor and personalized feedback on projects. Although I used this as an introduction to coding, others that are more experienced can also benefit by gaining more experience with data.

Hello comrades! I want to share with you may thoughts about this course. I took Data Analyst course and now I done 4 projects. I have to say that I hadn't any background in code and I didn't know any about statistics, probability theory etc. I think that... Read More this course is not so hard that I've been thinking before. If you have any question you have Slack, there you can ask and you will get answer immediately. Also almost every 2 weeks we have webinars, where we can ask any question about projects etc. I spend on this course about 2 hours per day, sometimes more. This course worth it. If you hesitate, you can take the Introduction part to try yourself with code, I think it good opportunity. I happy that I'm part of this course! Wish you good luck and happy analyzing.

Good content! The course is divided into into many small sprints based around a topic (Exploratory Data Analysis, SQL, Statistics, etc.) with a project on the topic at the end of each sprint. These are further organized into modules where you have integrated... Read More projects to synthesize your knowledge.

They have great support as well. Instructors can answer your questions and provide suggestions to your code. Additionally they also have live sessions via webcam as well!

Great experience overall.

I was part of the Data Scientist track,

The content is really great. Your all questions will be answered within a few hours by instructors in the slack channels. I have never seen such a kind of community support in any earlier online course. I am a Computer... Read More Vision nano degree Graduate from Udacity. Practicum is better in terms of helps we get in slack than Udacity.

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.

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 access to: a supportive community (professional tutor, 24/7 online support, community managers, peers etc.), interactive lessons, insightful webinars (which can be tailored to student's needs!!), job support, and challenging self-directed projects that are reviewed by professionals in the relevant field.

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.

I was nervous signing up for a bootcamp because I didnt want to spend money, but not fully grasp what I was learning. I didnt just want to copy lines of code, but wanted to understand theory and why I was doing what I was doing.... Practicum does just... Read More that. Not only an I learning, but fully grasping what Im doing and feel that I have a better handle of analyzing data and making predictions than I would have with other bootcamps, courses, or watching YouTube videos. Having exercises that help us put the theory we just learned into practice is amazing and even more amazing is when I get stuck, there is a instructor and classmates that can help me. Even further, our final projects for each module gives us a chance to put our cumulative knowledge and the tools we gained to use to accomplish real world problems. I have nothing but good things to say.
