I completed the WeCloudData DS & Big Data Diploma Bootcamp as a Career switcher from with a non-stem background. After completion of the diploma I had the opportunity through WCD to work on projects as an intern with real world clients with their DS/DE teams. The bootcamp + client project opportunity makes WCD the best value for career switchers. After completion of client projects, I was also provided with career support and a mentor (past alum) to help with job hunting. They provided prep. material prior to starting the course to help you get ready for the program. The program itself is very intensive. Be prepared to dedicate yourself fully for the duration of the program. That being said, the instructors and TA’s are mindful of weekends and holidays. If you are serious about Data related career, I highly recommend WCD courses. You get what time and effort you put into the program. Everyday, we had 3-4 hours of lectures and another 3-4 hours of TA office hours where we could work through labs and projects for our portfolio. The TA hours are optional but I highly recommend attending, you learn a lot by participating in them. They host guest lectures and networking events for students with companies actively recruiting DS/DA/DE positions. Attend the guest lectures, very beneficial for networking. Even afterhours, you could reach TAs and Instructors via e-mail or slack. The faculty is very dedicated and always accommodate your questions or struggles during the learning process. I never felt alone during the Bootcamp or unassisted. Class sizes are small so you every instructor and TA knows you personally. Honestly, I can’t be more grateful in hindsight for choosing WCD. They make an unmatched effort in ensuring all their graduates get hired.
