	Matthew Chua	I am sharing my 6-week Data Analytics bootcamp experience with WeCloudData. To start with, when compared to the other courses available (at least, in the US), this course is AT LEAST 10% the cost of other courses. That being said, those more expensive bootcamps come with a few assumptions/benefits: 1.) Assume you start at ground 0 for knowledge and aren't working full time 2.) Give you TAs (in theory) 3.) Give you homework and allow you to work on your own projects. WeCloudData will show you (step by step) how to build quite a few interesting projects (in different fields) for your own portfolio, but because of the cost, you can't expect them to provide you must homework. What the course is great at doing, however, is giving you the foundational knowledge of Tableau, PowerBI, SQL, and Python. Personally, I did a few months of self-study in these programs (so that helped me pick up concepts quicker), so I would recommend doing that before going in. HOWEVER, that is absolutely not a requirement, and you do have access to slide materials and recorded videos of your teaching sessions. What I also liked about the program is that the courses were after work hours, so if you are a working professional looking to enhance your career, you are able to take this course. Additionally, the program gives you an intro to multiple pathways of data analytics, so it's a fantastic way to get your feet wet (if you're switching careers like me). Third, they have an optional (but HIGHLY recommended) Saturday course, where you learn how to solve Python/SQL questions from LeetCode for potential interviews. And lastly, once you're done with the course, there is an optional mentorship program - you DO have to take a qualification test (which is great, since that means it's not a cheap money grab that some courses can do), but note that if you do enter mentorship, you do have to pay WeCloudData a portion of your salary for the 1st year of employment (which, honestly, isn't bad if it assumes you landed a job). If you're tight on money and want a great intro to analytics, I'd say sign up for this course. It's a low cost and time commitment, and honestly, I was able to land a job because of my experience with them.
