Data Engineering Bootcamp

Applied Data Engineering and Architect

If you are looking for a learning program to help you become a data engineer, your search can stop here. WeCloudData’s Data Engineering Bootcamp is the most comprehensive and effective program to help you achieve that goal.

Data Engineering programs aren’t easy to design because curriculums must be frequently updated due to the rapid changes in tools and platforms in the data landscape. Traditional university programs will not be able to keep it up to date. Data Engineering is also hard to teach because you need instructors with a strong industry background and hands-on experience. That’s why you don’t find many options out there.

At WeCloudData, we teach you essential skills for transitioning into a modern DE role and allow you to build your project portfolio. Most importantly, this program offers post-graduation job support, mentorship, and referrals to help you transition. So read along and learn why you should stop looking and enrol in the best data engineering program.

“Amazing course and support”

The course was really great a little too fast if you are not in a technical field already. You will need to study hard reviewing classes and making the labs and assignments but you always have the support of the TAs (they are awesome) or even the instructors and your own classmates that are always helping each other via Slack. There will be a final project where you will need to present a pipeline that you created (don’t worry they will be helping you!). Then, they will be helping you to find a job. Shaohua is always looking for the best for his students, he wants to make sure that you have the best experience with them.

“A solid bootcamp”

I completed the Data Engineering bootcamp at Weclouddata and was fortunate to land a job approximately 1 month after graduating. As many others have mentioned, the most significant reason that makes WCD stand out is its corporate partnerships. These companies, ranging from high profile multinationals to small local startups, provide real development work for the students and in turn makes all the difference on your resume. As long as you work hard in this program, you have a good chance of success.

“Data Engineering boot camp – great experience”

Prior to joining the WeCloudData Data Engineering boot camp I already had some Data Engineering experience in previous jobs and a master’s degree in big data and machine learning. This program provided me with the opportunity to enhance my data engineering background and helped me land a Senior Data Engineer role in AI operations.

Data engineers don’t need to have extensive knowledge of machine learning. However, data engineers work closely with data scientists and analysts. Understanding the high-level DS/ML workflow will be very useful. WeCloudData provides Open Courses that allow data engineers to learn more about data science and machine learning.
SQL and Python experience will be definitely useful. We have admission assessments that help us decide whether a student meets the admission criteria right away. For students who don’t meet the admission criteria, we would recommend going through the pre-bootcamp learning. Ideally, 2-3 months of self-paced learning is required to build up the foundational SQL and Python skills.
We encourage students to attend all the labs, but it is not mandatory. Students will finish a mini project during the labs by following the live instructions provided by teaching assistants. Students can watch the lab recordings if they missed it.
Students will complete two big end-to-end projects during the bootcamp. The two projects are very comprehensive and help students put things they learn in the bootcamp together. System design is required and students will need to implement everything from scratch. Students will also implement 13 mini-projects during the lab sessions.
Two large-scope portfolio projects and 13 mini-projects.
Yes, it’s possible! Your past IT experience is valuable and with the right preparation and kick-ass portfolio projects, we’ve seen students getting hired into senior roles.
