    Like Minded People

    Was looking for an in-person DataScience bootcamp to keep me committed (to my career switch) and to meet like-minded people interested in ML and AI in HK. Happy to report that Xccelerate delivered in both thoses regards. Was also half the price of the nearest competitor. 

    In-person courses offer face-time with instructors that I couldn't find in online offerings. I also got to work with people in a team, in person--something which I believe contributed to my job offer.

    Full-Stack Developer

    This course has provided me with the right tools to transition from a non-tech job to a developer role. I had previously tried to study and practice coding and data science on my own, but after close to a year of trying I felt I was nowhere near my initial expectations.

     

    The main benefits I got from this course were:

    Excellent primer for anyone interested in the subject matter

    The course truly opens my eyes to look at the digital world in a more user-centric, empathetic way. I get to know how great products are made and how great product managers / UX designers think. Learning this thinking skill is important to me as a digital marketing practitioner. I am ready to apply this skill to solve marketing problems more confidently and creatively.

    Supportive instructors

    As a marketing manager, I understood the significance of data-driven decision-making but lacked the technical skills to fully utilize them. This course changed everything. Despite its challenges, the curriculum provided crucial insights, and the hands-on experience with real datasets boosted my confidence. The supportive instructors ensured everyone grasped the material thoroughly. Now, I employ data in better ways, completely transforming my approach to marketing.

    engaging and hands-on

    The classes were so engaging and hands-on. What stood out was the great mentorship – my mentor provided personalized feedback and guided me through every step of my learning. One of the highlights was my experience working with real client projects, which I was able to add to my portfolio.

     How the Bootcamp Helps me from 0 to a Coding Freshman 

    I worked as an IT support before I ever join Xccelerate’s immersive software engineering bootcamp in March 2020. In the 4-month bootcamp, course instructors have presented me with the fundamentals we need in pursuing a career in web development, from the coding knowledge to the correct attitude and mentality. Emphasizing the importance of analyzing and breaking down a problem, they guided me to polish m...

    User Experience Design (Fundamentals)

    From having no background in this field at all, to being able to develop prototypes for business specific projects. This course has helped me go beyond what I imagined I was capable of in terms of UX and UI design.  Being a new university graduate with a generic business degree, I was lost in terms of finding the right job that suited my specific skill set. I was able to hone in on specific skills, which were enhanced throughout the course and made me realize that t...

    New Ways of Thinking

    Accelerate's UX Course really opened my eyes to new ways of thinking, revealing the many processes that go into creating a great user experience. Coming from a non-business background, the course was really useful (and accessible) in breaking down a variety of key thought processes, involving aspects of consumer psychology, marketing, design, management and research methodology.

    Our instructor, April, clearly knew what she was doing, and struck a great balance between teaching us...

    Awesome Course/Instructor/School

    I had a great experience on this course. I recently transitioned into a new role and wanted to learn more in-depth about digital marketing and growth hacking. 

    While I was initially apprehensive after the first session (where we covered the basics) we soon started diving into some more advanced level marketing. Our course instructor Xavier was awesome and keeping us engaged and showed us some really cool use cases from companies I would never have thought about researching.
