I got an undergraduate STEM degree a few years ago, but I was pretty burned out on that track and spent the years afterwards just working odd jobs. Recently I decided I wanted to get back into a more technical field and use my degree, but my prior education... Read More definitely did not feel specific enough to any particular field for me to even be able to *choose* a field, much less get a job. I explored some options online and found that the data world has been shaping up into a worthy field and is rising in popularity. I used Codecademy for a few months and learned a good bit about data analysis techniques with Python and SQL, but still struggled to land a data-related job. Eventually I decided to get a more formal education and went with a boot camp rather than an extended-length degree program. I chose Practicum because of their great user and critic reviews online and due to some very helpful scholarships I received via Practicum itself. I liked the idea of professionals reviewing my code for the series of required projects. Data science had always seemed too intimidating to get into, which is why I was originally trying to teach myself about data analysis, but getting an education through a boot camp gave me the confidence to make the leap into the data science program that I am currently in. I will say that even with prior knowledge of data analysis techniques and experience using Python, I have felt engaged and challenged through each of the sprints and have learned a lot.

User feedback is definitely listened to and is used for real improvement. Staff does a good job of building and maintaining a community through Discord/Slack; I have participated in some events and will likely increase my involvement once I get further along into learning new material. Students definitely appreciate the support network! Overall, I have been happy with my decision to join Practicum as a middle-ground between self-education and college education. I'm excited to continue learning the material. I would say that having some prior knowledge helped but does not seem necessary. I would suggest that if you are new to coding, to commit a little extra time to the first several sprints just to gain more familiarity with the languages and whatnot. Or, if you already have scattered knowledge, the program will definitely still engage you and allow you ample room for self-improvement.
