What was your background before enrolling on the course?

My name is Rova, I'm 26 and I started the Data Science bootcamp three months ago. Today, I'm at the end of the programme, and this training has enabled me to achieve my main objective: to strengthen my technical skills in data science.

Before that, I did a master's degree in artificial intelligence at a business school. This course gave me a solid grounding in AI and a good strategic vision of the use of data in business. However, it lacked a more in-depth technical focus, particularly on the tools and methods used in business. It was this technical gap that prompted me to join an intensive bootcamp, in order to develop skills that could be applied directly in the field and to become more operational on concrete projects.

What did you enjoy during your data analytics training?

One of the main reasons why I chose the School of Data is that it is based in a consultancy firm. Unlike a purely academic course, here you work at the heart of the reactor, immersed in a professional environment. Not only does this give you the opportunity to learn on the ground, but you also get to meet data consultants on a daily basis, who share their experience and give you invaluable advice on the job and the opportunities in the sector.

I also really appreciated the course content, which is structured to help us gradually master key tools and advanced methodologies. The fact that we work on real-life cases makes the learning process more dynamic and allows us to see the application of the concepts directly. One of the strengths of the programme is also the end-of-course project, which encourages us to apply all the skills we have acquired to solving a real-life problem. This allows us to consolidate what we've learned and to get our first tangible experience of data science.

Finally, the working environment plays a key role in the learning experience. The premises are modern and pleasant, and the atmosphere within the class was really great. The students really help each other out, which makes the course even more rewarding.

To sum up, this course provided me with a professional learning environment, solid technical skills and a unique immersion in the world of data consulting. I'm coming away with concrete knowledge and a clearer vision of the prospects open to me in this field.
