    Highly recommended!

    I came into the bootcamp without a technical background, just a strong interest in data analytics. The pace is intense — there's a lot of material packed into three months, and it can feel overwhelming at first. But the instructors are well aware of this and do a great job guiding you through the process. Our coach was exceptional: patient, supportive, and consistently generous with his time. One of the biggest strengths of the program is the access to one-on-one feedback whenev...

    Love it so much ! Very valuable indeed!

    This bootcamp was a really good one! Tough indeed, but I learned so much. And special thanks to the very valuable coaches who guide us thru a bunch of science stuff. The format of morning lectures and group work on the stuff after lunch is really helpful to get into the topics and collaborate on them, so you daily learned twice. Very useful experience to study remote. The capstone project is really good for experience too, I learned so much more than in other courses earlier. Very well d...

    The perfect blend of theory and practice.

    I recently completed the 4-week English IT Project Management Bootcamp at neuefische and I couldn't be more impressed. The bootcamp exceeded my expectations, especially in terms of its practical focus.

    What I particularly enjoyed:
    • The perfect blend of theory and practice:
      The content was delivered in a clear and concise manner, and was reinforced with numerous practical examples.

    Erstklassiges Konzept

    Es war mein erstes Camp bei den Fischen, aber insgesamt meine 5 Schulungserfahrung in ähnlicher Durchführung. 

    Die neuen fische waren mit Abstand die Organisation, die am besten aufgestellt, organisiert und thematisch versiert sind. 

    Der anhaltende Fokus auf Teamwork, das Konzept des "Crosscoachings" mit einen Hauptchoach und weiteren Coaches die themenspezifisch Gastcoachings gehalten haben, haben den gesamten Kurs sehr rund gemacht.

    Keine Empfehlung

    Sehr negative Erfahrung im Bootcamp gemacht.
    Meiner Meinung nach liegt bei Neue Fische der Fokus auf guten Umsatz. Es gab von Anfang an keinerlei Transparenz. Ein neuer Coach wurde eingesetzt, welcher noch nie zuvor unterrichtet hatte. Es gab massive soziale Spannungen im Kurs, welche bei Neue Fische lieber unter den Tisch gekehrt werden, obwohl sich mehrere Kursteilnehmer dazu geäußert haben. Die Geschwindigkeit des Kurses ist viel zu hoch um sinnvoll die Inhalte aufzunehmen. Jahrzeh...

    exhausting but worth it!

    The web development course was enormously exhausting, but the atmosphere, the cohesion and the very human and warm nature of the coaches were a great support. The amount of content taught should absolutely not be underestimated and you should definitely expect (especially if you have little to no prior experience) that you will reach your limit. Would still recommend it to anyone. What I learned here in 3 months, I could never have taught myself in 2-3 years.

    A lot of hard work, but worth it!

    I applied to the data science bootcamp, because I have been working in quantitative research and wanted to get out of academia and into a more technical role within the private sector. The course was what I expected it to be. You learn A LOT in a short amount of time. To achieve this, you have to work a lot, too.
    The coaches are competent, nice and helpful. The lectures are a great mix of the intuition of the algorithms and the math behind it. At the same time you learn everything pra...

    Web Development

    I went to neuefische in fall 2019 and had a wonderful time there. The head coach Jerry was very dedicated to the students and the job seeking assistance was a tremendous help. I had interviews with three partner companies of neuefische and chose one of them where I'm working for over a year now.

    10/10 would recommend

    Attending the Neue Fische WebDev Bootcamp in cologne was one of the best decisions I made this year!
    I got into coding about a year ago when I started to think about a career change. One year later and thanks to my wonderful coaches Leon and Phillip I'm on the verge of being a Bootcamp graduate. 
    I won't be lying: Attending the Bootcamp is going to be hard. The first weeks you dream about code and all the coding problems ou are not able to wok out. But after a few more weeks you wi...

    Coding Bootcamp with a feel- good atmosphere

    Nice rooms at Spaces Cologne, nice and helpful people. Course concept is based on teamwork.  The coaches are nice, helpful and really interested in their students. I had a good time and I found a Job, although I came from a completely different business (social work and education). My only critical point is the Job Assistance. The employee responsible was more focused on the Hamburg students. I give 4 stars because the coaches filled the gap. They gave really helpful information for tech...

    Data Scientist boot camp within 3 months - a lot of work but worth it!

    Instructors and the Cohort
    I participated the data science boot camp in a group of 16 participants. After my studies 3 years earlier I did not expect it to be that hard. After the first week we knew why it is called a boot camp. The instructors did a great job in shaping the environment of the group so that it was a collaborative experience. The predominant driver of this boot camp is peer pressure - but not in a competitive fashion. The instructors gave us the feeli...

    Becoming a developer within three months? Worked!

    Especially in Germany it's still somehow experimental to choose that kind of alternative education. The most of developers I got to know so far, have a bachelor degree. But I heard also, that you're not necessarily learning to code in university – for bachelor students it's as well kind of a by-product. And I didn't want to develop the next computer, I don't need to know ALL the theory behind the practice. I just wanted to learn how to build websites. And I did it.

    Awesome experience, can recommend

    Overall, I had a very great experience at neue fische and highly recommend the data science and AI bootcamp. Our coaches Omar and Moses were great teachers, supportive and established a very positive vibe in our cohort. The bootcamp teaches very valuable skills, progresses in a well-thought manner and balances hands-on practice and lectures well. Because of that, I'd say that this bootcamp is also manageable for people with very limited knowledge of statistics and programming. It is quit...

    Good with potential for improvement

    I started a three-month boot camp, and I can confirm what others have said: the pace is fast, and there is a lot of material to cover. However, you get used to it, and I wanted an intensive learning experience. Toward the end, there's a little more free time, and the schedule isn't quite as packed. Unfortunately, the group was very diverse in terms of motivation, prior knowledge, or communication skills. This was exhausting and not a good experience because the learning content is geared...

    Data Science

    I completed the bootcamp a couple of weeks ago and I found it super helpful and a good starting point to change your professional path into the direction of everything to do with data science. Will you know everything about data science after only 3 month? No, of course not, but you get a solid foundation and be able to build on that within your next role. And I'm still impressed what I learned and achieved in this relatively short amount of time.

    Data Science on the fast track

    I finished the bootcamp a couple of weeks ago and I'm still impressed what you can achieve in a relatively short amount of time.
    Yes, it is intense but doable. You get any support you can think of. Either from the coaches or out of the student team itself.
    It was a lot of fun learning about data science in a nice community and a very modern facility.
    I would always choose to go the same way again.

    Java Bootcamp

    I really enjoyed the Java course! Everything was explained clearly and simply, with lots of hands-on practice. I learned Java Core and Boot, Security, MongoDB, Maven, JUnit, GitHub, and the basics of DevOps, React, and TypeScript. Some of us even found jobs during the course.
