Overpriced camp

I recently completed the Techlent Data Science Bootcamp, and I must say that my experience left much to be desired. Let me break down my thoughts into several key areas.
Firstly, the price of the bootcamp is exorbitant. I found it to be overpriced compared to other options available in the market. Considering the shortcomings I encountered, I expected more value for the investment I made.
Secondly, it is important to note that the apparent success of this bootcamp in previous years may have been more a result of the booming job market in 2020-2021 rather than the actual efficacy of the camp itself. This is worth considering when evaluating the claims made by Techlent.
Furthermore, I found the curriculum to be outdated. Given the rapidly evolving field of data science, it is crucial for a bootcamp to stay abreast of the latest industry trends and technologies. Unfortunately, Techlent fell short in this regard, with material that did not adequately cover recent advancements and techniques.
One major disappointment was the lack of support from both instructors and the founder. The instructors seemed impatient when it came to answering questions, which hindered the learning process. Additionally, despite paying the tuition fee, I found it extremely frustrating that the founder was unresponsive to my inquiries. This lack of support and guidance left me feeling isolated and unsupported throughout the bootcamp.
Lastly, it became apparent that the success of the program heavily relied on self-study and peer support rather than the expertise of the instructors. While collaborative learning can be beneficial, it should not replace the role of qualified instructors who can provide in-depth knowledge and guidance.
In conclusion, I would not recommend the Techlent Data Science Bootcamp. The high price, reliance on outdated curriculum, lack of support from instructors and the founder, and the expectation of self-study make it an underwhelming option for those seeking a comprehensive and effective data science education. It would be wise to explore other alternatives that offer a better value proposition and a more supportive learning environment.

Thank you for your feedback.

We are sorry to hear that your experience with us did not meet your expectations. We want to emphasize that we are committed to our students' success. If, within one year, you are unable to find a job in this field, we will refund all your tuition as per our guarantee.

We thank you for acknowledging the success of our camp in previous years.It's important to acknowledge that external factors, such as economic conditions, can influence the speed at which our students secure job offers. For example, in early 2022, the median time for our students to receive a job offer was approximately 3 weeks. However, during the latter half of 2022, the economy experienced a downturn, leading to an increase in the median time to about 2 months. For more accurate statistics and detailed information, please refer to this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gz_y5ZRpkk ). While we cannot control economic circumstances, we are dedicated to help our students to succeed under any circumstances. We had carefully reviewed the challenges our students encountered in the interviews, and added courses like Machine Learning Mindset, Resumes of Data Scientists, and Story-Telling Skills for Data Scientists to help our students better prepare for their interviews. We regularly host mock interview sections and office hours to go through each student’s background and help them polish their stories and resumes.  All those efforts helped our students successfully land jobs in such a bad environment.

We apologize if you felt unsupported and isolated during your learning process. We’ll improve to provide a better experience.  However, we firmly believe in promoting self-study and peer learning,   which is a key feature in our camp. We spent lots of effort  to organize activities like pair coding, group discussions, mock interviews etc.;   to ensure students' attendance,  to  track their process and to provide timely feedback to guide them move forward.  These initiatives are designed to equip students with the skills they need to succeed in real job interviews and work environments.

While it might be easier if we just handed out answers directly to our students,  it’s more important they get those answers themself during those efforts. We have observed that those who  actively participate in such activities are faster to land job offers, and they in general perform better later in the real job environment.  

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your sharing.

Great courses

The data scientist track include Machine Learning and SQL training. ML course is very efficient, you can learning all the popular models which are used in the industry in a very short time. And the questiones including in each chapter all most covered 95% Data Scientist technique interview questions. SQL training is practicing of real problem solving. You don't need to waste time on basic concepts. After the training, the instructor also follow all the job hunting prosess. I think it is very important. You can avoid lots of mistakes. Great course!

I tried a variety of online courses, building up my skills but the online classes are all detached from what you need to actually land a job in Data Science. Techlent filled in that gap. Their instructors are all current data scientists at big companies with many years of experience. The teaching and mentoring were absolutely priceless. They pinpointed exactly what I needed to know to land a great job, and after only a month! Thank you Techlent!
