There are dozens of data analytics and data science bootcamps across the country, and many of them have excellent track records. However, some programs are better than others, and you don’t have to live in San Francisco to become a data analyst.

My Experience at Thinkful

Pros

Friendly staff, flexible program, lots of resources, great sense of community, well written and structured curriculum.

Cons

Some technical difficulties, occasional unresponsiveness from staff, can be tough to find the right mentor, must be able to stay on top of things and teach yourself (not necessarily a con).

Full disclosure, this was my first bootcamp experience so I can't compare it to other programs. However, I'll do my best to justify my 4-star reviews ...

Are data analytics bootcamps worth it?

So, what are the characteristics of an excellent data analytics bootcamp? First and foremost, the best data analytics bootcamps equip students with the data analysis skills necessary to compete in the job market. These programs focus on job placement by teaching a curriculum based on applicable, real-world needs. Additionally, the best programs offer career coaching, resume-building assistance, and additional job search training.

The top data analytics bootcamps also utilize a curriculum that covers in-demand data analysis and data science skills, including Hadoop, Spark, predictive models, and relevant software engineering topics. The best programs offer a well-balanced curriculum with an emphasis on hands-on projects and real-world experience.

Some data online bootcamps offer flexible programs based on their full-time in-person courses. Part-time online courses allow those with busy schedules to still squeeze in an education in data analytics around their current schedules.

It’s also important to consider individual factors when choosing the best data analytics bootcamp for you. Consider your schedule and decide if you can attend a full-time immersive program or if a flexible online course is a better fit. Thankfully, many well-known schools apply a proven curriculum to online bootcamps, so you don’t have to sacrifice quality for a flexible schedule. With some care and research, it shouldn’t be too challenging to find the best data analytics bootcamp for you.
