Before attending Practicu By yandex I did not come a technical back nor a math background. I had been looking at boot camps for some time and came across Practicum. After researching each of the different curriculums I decided that Data science is the one I was most interested in. Short after I started the full program I discovered a passion for data science I didn’t know that I had. The coursework was beyond expectations. They didn’t assume you had knowledge of all the math behind algorithms and they didn’t use terminology that only professional mathematicians would know. They only skills you need to bring to this course are problem solving and googling. If you can do that effectively than you will make it through this course. During the course they offer coursework to prepare for applying for jobs however I found it hard to balance that with my main coursework and my full time job. But you can wait until after graduation and they are still there to help you prepare. They do not put you in contact with employers directly but they do show you great way to contact them yourself. The amount of job support you get is good for the price of the course and great when you consider they don’t have any ISAs or anything like that. In conclusion if your looking for a detailed boot camp with great support from a big name in data science you can do much better than practicum by yandex |
