WBS CODING SCHOOL

It's worth it. One of the key things to take away from any learning experience is connections and experience itself. This isn't the same when learning by yourself or getting a private tutor. It needs a healthy and supportive environment and people and... Read More WBS is fantastic for this. There are times when I would have skipped a section completely because it was too much to navigate in a short period of time, but it made it all the more enjoyable in the end when I got the help needed to succeed. Will be a shame to see everyone less now but many I'll keep in touch with after. Highly recommend if you're looking for a course.

I couldn't be happier with my experience at WBS CODING SCHOOL Berlin, especially in the Data Science program. The course struck an ideal blend of challenging assignments and engaging lectures. From the outset, I was impressed by the thoroughness of the... Read More curriculum design. The instructors were always available, offering support around the clock to tackle any queries. What truly stood out was the professionalism and warmth exhibited by every staff member. Their dedication made the learning journey smooth and enjoyable. WBS not only equipped me with the technical skills needed for Data Science but also fostered a sense of confidence in navigating the field. I wholeheartedly recommend WBS CODING SCHOOL to anyone considering a career in Data Science. It's an investment in both education and personal growth.

It was an extraordinary experience that I did not want for it to end. Has the perfect combination between group learning and self learning, leaving room for the development of ambitious people.

Some projects are intense but they are followed by not so demanding project, to not be overwhelmed Coming to the Campus on the last weeks made this journey the best so far.

I had a wonderful experience during the Data Science Bootcamp at WBS coding school. The learning platform is very well designed to help people even with zero coding background and the instructors are patient, wonderful coders and just amazing. I started... Read More my 4 months journey with very little coding knowledge and with the help of two amazing instructors of our batch, I am proud of the growth I made in just a small amount of time. My best wishes to our Instructor and Junior-Instructor and a big thanks for all their efforts and hard work.

I recently completed the Digital Product Design Bootcamp with WBS and loved it. Even tho I worked as a UX/UI Designer before I did learn so much and could deepen my skills and knowledge a lot. I gained more confidence in my decision-making and developed...

WBS CODING SCHOOL // Data Science Bootcamp I participated in the 4-month-long hybrid Data Science Bootcamp. Overall, it was a great learning experience that solidified my Python knowledge, taught me SQL basics and a variety of data new data analysis techniques.... Read More -Summary- + great for newbies and people with some prior experience alike + good teachers, live lectures, very good online learning material + learn meaningful and up-to-date data science skills + Campus Phase rocks + very helpful WBS staff - many teachers don't have tech industry background - no tight networking opportunities within the tech industry -Previous Knowledge- I have a PhD in marine science and had quite a bit of previous experience in statistical programming with R as well as a little bit of Python experience. Therefore, the first couple of weeks were rather slow for me. However, after roughly 4-5 weeks, the pace started picking up and I felt thoroughly challenged. -Curriculum- The curriculum is project-based and hands-on, which is the right way of learning for me. You start a new project every 1-3 weeks. There are live lectures and coding lessons. We covered basic data analysis and visualization with Python and SQL, Cloud computing and data pipelines, web scraping and API calls, A/B Testing, Unsupervised and Supervised Machine Learning (Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines, etc.) and Recommender Systems. The only thing that was missing in the curriculum, in my opinion, was Deep Learning. The last 2.5 weeks are spent on a final project, either alone or in groups of 2-3 people. -Daily Learning- On a regular day, you would have some read-through material on the Online Learning Platform, followed by one or two lecture/coding sessions. The rest of the day is used for project work. By the end of the project, you usually present your work to the class. Students organize themselves during their projects. They can work together in Discord channels, or separately. They can use Github for collaborating or whichever other tool to facilitate exchange. How much you enjoy the learning journey depends a lot on your class mates and the group dynamic. -Campus Phase- Students can come to the WBS Campus to work on their final project (~1h South-East of Berlin Mitte). This has been the most fun part for me - I would recommend anyone to go if you have the chance. The bill is ~600,-€ for 11 nights of accommodation and 3 veggie meals per day. You can either pay it yourself or have it covered by the job center. -WBS Support- I've experienced the WBS CODING SCHOOL employees to be very helpful when it comes to organizing stuff. The job center had first declined my application for the campus phase. Together with the WBS staff, however, we were able to convince them to fund me. -Teachers' Expertise- The instructors I've had lessons with during the bootcamp were all knowledgable in the course material. They were also good at teaching and approachable, with some very few exceptions. However, they are certainly not all experts from the data science industry. The WBS website mislead me on this one, as many (perhaps most) instructors do in fact not have industry experience. That doesn't make them bad teachers, but it still put me off, as I'd expected industry expertise. -Career Opportunities- There is a Career Service that offers online learning material, three mandatory daily workshops throughout the bootcamp, a CV, CL and LinkedIn screening and a one-time career advice session. The workshops helped me a lot to brush up my profile. The only thing I'm missing is - again - a tighter connection to the industry. There are guest talks by people working in tech, but that's pretty much it. I would appreciate it if the final projects were presented not only to WBS peers, but also company representatives. This would encourage networking and job finding for graduates. Many thanks to the WBS CODING SCHOOL. Keep up the good work!
