Data Science courses during his Masters program. He loved it so much that he wanted to get a 2nd Masters in Data Science. That’s when he started researching about different Data Science programs that are more on project based learning. He compared it with many different programs and chose New York City Data Science Academy. They have the best curriculum that would fit his interest. He enrolled for a 6 month Data Science Bootcamp that covers a broad spectrum on Data Analytics and Machine Learning tools. It was an excellent online program. There were mentors always available and ready to help Daniel. I am Daniel’s advocate. I have noticed the NYCDSA tutor, mentors and even the head of the school Vivian Zhang took personal interest to see my son Daniel succeed. Now Daniel feels very comfortable with Python, R, SQL and Machine Learning. The course was very intense and covers lots of material within a few months.
My son learned the practical aspect of project based work. I believe that attending the bootcamp, Daniel made the best decision. After 2 weeks of completion of his course, he was offered a job. I am grateful to the academy staff and head of the school Vivian Zhang for their unwavering support.

I Really Enjoyed It
I loved my time here at NYC Data Science Academy. I’ve been looking for a Data Scientist job at the time and I felt like I needed more knowledge than what I possessed at the time. I came across NYCDSA when browsing online and I went through the curriculum.

I’ve been looking for a Data Scientist job at the time and I felt like I needed more knowledge than what I possessed at the time. I came across NYCDSA when browsing online and I went through the curriculum. The curriculum was filled with information on the different things that I would be learning and I found many of those were things present in job descriptions. I then realized that I would be able to learn everything that I need for a new job. The good thing was that there were office hours and mentors that I can speak with for any questions that I would have regarding a certain subject. The bad thing though is that since everything is online and there’s no longer any live lectures, there is less interaction with others as well as not being able to ask questions to the instructor since the lectures are pre recorded. Another issue I felt with this bootcamp is that it doesn’t go into too much detail regarding Time Series Forecasting, so there was no available mentor to tackle any questions me and my group had regarding our code for the capstone. I felt like I learned a lot from this bootcamp program overall. My favorite thing was being able to apply everything I learned in the program to projects and then presenting those projects because being able to present your findings is very important when it comes to Data Science as a whole. I currently have a Programming job, but I’m still looking to transfer into a Data Analytics/Data Science role. I just recently had an interview that I feel really good about, so I believe I am now more confident with my knowledge from the bootcamp. - Michelle BuiGraduate • 12-Weeks In-Person/ Remote Live Data Science with Machine Learning Bootcamp • New York CityNov 14, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Excellent Transition and Personal Growth Opportunity

I chose NYCDSA as they were the only accredited program offering in-person classes at the time and had read other positive reviews. This bootcamp was very well taught - I thought the quality of content and instruction were thorough and rigorous, incorporating first principles / math foundations behind the concepts (their main instructor was excellent). There was a new lecture and a homework assignment nearly everyday. Some aspects of it were a little disorganized but I attribute this to the fast pace of the program. I came from a Biochemistry background and felt the program was challenging - expect to consistently put in additional hours after classes to keep up and after graduation to secure a job offer as well. Four months after completing the bootcamp, I received a job offer as a data science consultant from one of the school's hiring partners that was willing to sponsor a temporary work visa! I had prior data analytics experience, but no direct data science experience, so it goes to show that if you put in the work, it is possible to secure a data science role after graduation. Overall I think the Data Science + ML program at NYCDSA was well worth the investment! It helped me launch a new career path and was an experience that facilitated professional, intellectual, and personal growth. Also, my classmates were awesome whom I remained in contact with after the bootcamp ended, so that was a big bonus! If you have been contemplating enrolling in a data science bootcamp, are wanting to make a career switch, and are ready to put in the blood, sweat, and tears, I highly recommend NYCDSA. - Jason PhillipGraduate • 12-Weeks In-Person/ Remote Live Data Science with Machine Learning Bootcamp • New York CityOct 30, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great Experience with a fantastic teacher
I looked into several NYC bootcamps before deciding on NYC Data Science Academy. I chose this school because of all the good reviews and they focused solely on Data Science unlike the other bootcamps. It was a great experience with a knowledgeable teacher. The classes and homework problems focused on real world business applications. I definitely recommend this school for anyone interested in Data Science or Data Analytics. - Sergey BurenkovDelivery Manager • Graduate • OnlineOct 29, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Good
Well run and informative data science course, teaching about R language. How to use it, the main packages (dplyr, tidyr) and how to visualize the data using functions like ggplot and shiny. Overall I found this class to be very informative, my fellow class mates very helpful and the instructor very friendly. Would highly recommend. - Sizor MohantyApplicant • Data Science with Python: Data Analysis and Visualization (Weekend Course) • OnlineJan 15, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I was part of the Python Visualization Course and felt that they need to go up a notch in terms of customer service and understanding customer needs.

I was part of the Python Visualization Course and felt that they need to go up a notch in terms of customer service and understanding customer needs. When I tried to communicate, they tried proving me wrong instead of listening and trying to understand my problem. One of the points of I raised was the timing of the class. The class timings still does not mention the time zone (It should say EST). If you are working executives and value your time and money avoid this institute. I would say that they are inexperienced on managing the business end rather than rude (which may seem at first). Maybe they are very successful but a poor customer experience always leaves huge scope for improvement. Hopefully they hear this and instead of trying to muffle my voice they change their business process.

I picked NYC Data science over other bootcamps after doing a thorough analysis of what was covered in each program. NYC Data Science was the only program that taught two languages, R and Python and seemed to have a strong career support program. NYC Data Science’s strong job placement program helped me find a job as a data scientist within two weeks of graduation. My overall experience with the program was very positive and I would recommend that any prospective student ask the admissions staff to put them in touch with an alumni that has a similar background to their own. - Nickolas AbrarpourData Analyst • Graduate • 12-Weeks In-Person/ Remote Live Data Science with Machine Learning Bootcamp • New York CitySep 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I graduated from the 12-week bootcamp (on-site classes) in April 2020, and right after the program I started working at a fintech company (Savvy Invest) specializing in technology that enables the average Brazilian citizen to invest in the US Stock Market and gain access financial education. The knowledge I gained from graduation of the 12-week bootcamp provided me a strong base and toolbox to apply data science methodologies in a real-world business context.
The staff and instructors are extremely helpful resources that lead the candidates in meeting the challenging deadlines and projects. There is an immense amount of material covered throughout the program relative to the short period of time. Staying up-to-speed with the curriculum is very challenging, but the staff is super knowledgeable, helpful, and accessible throughout every second of the program. - Liam McDermottData Scientist • Student • Online Data Science with Machine Learning Bootcamp • OnlineJul 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

For many years, I did not consider myself technical at all. As time progressed, it became clear to me that the world was passing me by and I decided to take action. I entered NYDSA with a rudimentary knowledge of coding consisting of only a few Udemy courses. It was one of the most intimidating experiences of my life, as many of my classmates were already accomplished data professionals. I was relieved to find both students and instructors extremely patient and supportive of my difficult journey.All of the course material was laid out in a logical and effective manner. The content goes into a minute level of detail, while also allowing for a clear high level view. The instructors are remarkably passionate regarding their various expertise which makes their lectures easy to listen to. The head of the school, Vivian Zhang is intimately involved with the students throughout the process and shows a genuine interest in their success. I am now working on a major project at a Fortune 50 financial institution and couldn't be happier. Last year, I would not have believed such a transition to be possible.It was one of the most difficult and rewarding experiences of my life. I made the transition from an AI novice tossing buzzwords around, to building a machine learning project from the ground up in three months. The level of technical proficiency you walk away with will leave you prepared for any data science job on the market. I highly recommend NYCDSA for anyone looking to advance their knowledge in the technology shaping our future. - Richa ValaSolution Analyst • Online Data Science with Machine Learning Bootcamp • OnlineMay 10, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I began my journey by doing some self-learning through many online resources. Finally, to give structure to my learning, I enrolled in the Fall session of 2020 at NYC Data Science Academy. It was a Remote-Live Instruction session. I had researched a few data science Bootcamps before joining NYC Data Science Academy. I would say that I made the right decision. Keep in mind, the program is an intensive, fast-paced learning experience. In order to do well in this Bootcamp, one thing I would like to emphasize is that before the class, preview your text and the homework assignments. This will prepare your brain to absorb the materials. Review the material and the notes after the class to fill in any gaps you didn’t catch in class. The program was led by instructors who are experts in their fields and were patient and helpful. The TAs were extremely supportive and willing to help you. I gave career support 3.0 stars as they lack the assistance for students living in cities other than New York or the Bay area or students who are pivoting their career. The program gives you access to mentors. Since I took this course during the pandemic, there were no interactions with like-minded people. The curriculum was designed to enhance their student’s skills and stay competitive in the job market. It taught the core proficiencies using Python and R with a focus on real-world applications. The curriculum also introduced SQL, which is the most important job skill employers look for in candidates for employment. By the end of the program, I had gained enough confidence in my abilities to start my career in the field of data.
