Ubiqum Code Academy

Personally, I had a great time going to the school every day and meeting people who wanted a change in their careers, just like me. My classmates were the best! The learning by doing method it´s the most efective way of learning, specially in this field.... Read More It gives you independence since it makes you look for the answers by yourself, just like in a real job! I got helped finding a job, which it´s appreciated, but nothing comes easily.

This program was great in terms of platform, exerecises and mentors. It is the best and most entertaining way of improving your analytical skills and get familiar with two softwares widely used in data science: python and R. The exercises provided step-by-step... Read More instructions which allowed us to easily follow the tasks, as well as realistic datasets, which makes you face real life situations from the very beginning. Also, the mentorship was great - the tutors were largely available to solve doubts, guide us towards the solution and even propose extra ideas if the task was already accomplished; I really appreciated the individualized feedback I got during the full course. The one thing to consider is that the program is time consuming, so if you are working full time in parallel you may not have the time to profit 100% from this experience. Still, I would strongly recommend it to anyone interested in data science!

Highly recommended. The learning by doing methodology helps you to understand everything really well. From my point of view the mentors are the best of the experience. They have a very good level, they guide you, explain everything you need and are at... Read More your disposal at all times.

By the end of week 3, I was already able to perform a full data science project using Python and presenting findings as a data analyst. - All the staff at Ubiqum are super friendly, and you can approach them with anything.

I didn't have any experience in coding before getting into the Data Analytics & ML intensive course at Ubiqum. The tasks are structured as real-life scenarios, so you gain relevant skills. The program provided me with the skills I needed to successfully... Read More apply for data analyst roles, provided me with a knowledge of R, Python, and SQL. I was very lucky to get Alessandro and Felice as mentors.

I feel Boosting my career really helped me in understanding how to stand out with my LinkedIn profile, my CV and really prepared me for interviews with the personal pitch section. I can definitely say there is a big difference in how I approached interviews... Read More before and after taking this program. 100% recommended!

Ubiqum requested us to post a review since last year, I waited to finish another Analytic course (cheaper), a free online course before sharing my experience. I am not new at coding, I do some SQL, advanced Macro for years . From past experiences, I benefited... Read More a lot from job shadowing, face to face mentorship (from experts at my workplace and online course, then consolidated and grew more skills thru tasks and time). So I was attracted by the "learning doing" at your pace advertised. Also, they had "good" reviews too. Though mostly from the Spanish campus and I guess by now, most done before 2019 before Ubiqum expansion in other countries, all that led me to enroll at Ubiqum in 2019 on site. FAR BEFORE THE 1st COVID ALERT IN CHINA, so any lockdown in Europe.... From week 1 I felt low spirited, by week 3 hearing the same from other disappointed students about the outdated curriculum and the unskilled frustrating mentors; I realized I had to quit the program and send a request for the refund. I was informed that the cancellation period was over. Until today I deeply regret that choice, I lost hard earned savings . Do not even make me start on their Job support... They do not get you the job, nor in any effective way help you finding one. My cheap online class offered: online professional resume help and support+ technical preparation for challenges or case studies for interviews. 1000euros vs 10000euros. With so many people financially struggling with the current market, economy, I can definitely say that Ubiqum was not worth it at all.

I compared this bootcamp to others and chose the Ubiqum one because it used Java. Java is still a really popular language and also very versatile. The course starts easy with basic coding and slowly but surely you go into the harder stuff. The progress... Read More in the course is pretty good but the step from front end to the back end programming is actually quite big. I've had several moments during the course in which I felt stuck and not really able to get the level. Luckily the mentor in the program is really good. He is very experienced and he really pulled me through it when I was very stuck. The good thing about this course is that you have a set program, but with your mentor, there is also room for flexility. I was able to experiment with some extra technologies that weren't in the program, but are still going to be very valuable in the industry. Finding a job after the program wasn't super easy. It took me about 1,5 months and most companies are looking for people with 2-3 years of experience. I noticed that I was invited for interviews if I really emphasized that you start programming from the first day. It also helped a lot to highlight that you have an portfolio on github with all your projects so the companies can actually see that you have been working for several months. Overal I would recommend the bootcamp because I know I wouldn't have been able to learn all of this in such a short time by myself. But prepare yourself for a rough couple of months with many ups and downs and lots of hard work.

I didn't have any experience in coding before getting into the Data Analytics & ML bootcamp at Ubiqum. Although it is true that in the first month it can be overwhelming, it is amazing how, with the learning-by-doing methodology and the support from the... Read More mentors, fast you start being comfortable with languages such as R or Python and many concepts from machine learning and data analysis. I would recommend it to those who are motivated to either shift their career path or want to apply data science to their respective fields, and are eager to learn and work hard during the 5-6 months of the course to get the most out of it.
