Data is everywhere. In case you are dealing with FOBO (fear of becoming obsolete) then you should really consider joining. I very much appreciate the flexibility of the program which means that you are capable of going through it even with a busy life (full-time job and/or kids (or dogs ;-) ) - it means that you will be slower but who cares, one step at a time. I also very much like that the grading is done based on projects that you have to complete and not solely through written tests or quizzes (which are part of the journey and a good addition but they are not graded which is amazing because in my opinion, the real learning is anyway happening when dealing with problems within a project). I also think that the price is fair and the biggest value-add probably is the community spirit of Turing College. You are not alone on this journey - there are many people happy to help you when facing challenges. - Indrė ZabielaitėStudent • Data Analytics • OnlineDec 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I wanted to learn more technical analytical skills, as at that time they were not taught in my uni degree. I really liked the Data Analytics course and Turing College for the following reasons:
- Course was interesting and well made: Included extra material in addition to the compulsory for those that wanted to go more in depth
- It's based on self-learning: Even though it's more difficult than listening to lectures since you have to do a lot of reading and many practical projects, but as a result you develop very solid skills. Also support is always available when you get stuck
- You get tips from professionals in the field: It's very useful to get different opinions about your projects from experienced people who work in the field, also to learn how things are done in their workplace
- Students first: even though you learn remotely, but I felt that the human contact is still there and that Turing College team genuinely cares about their students and wants the best for them. The team tries to foster a sense of community, organizes many guest lectures with companies and professionals, supports you in finding a job. Btw found my job through Turing College as well!
- Excellence striving team: I learned in the first batch of Data Analytics and I was very impressed by the team's interest in feedback and improvement, as well as flexibility and professionalism. I got the impression that they're always on top of the industry's trends and best educational practices.
- You learn time management and discipline:D I worked full time when doing the course and it's not a short course you can do in a few months, where you can just go all in. You are forced to wisely plan your time, set your priorities straight and devote regular time for the studies.
Learning at Turing College is not easy, but really worth it. Overall, recommend! - Jonas VengalisData analyst • Graduate • Data Analytics • OnlineDec 13, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Your projects are evaluated by diverse industry professionals eager to share their experiences, so you gain prospective.
Initially sceptical about the peer-to-peer review system, I now consider it one of the key learning element that makes so much sense. You're constantly reminded of what you've learned so far and that did wonders for my SQL skills.
The learning experience thus far has been excellent and I've been fortunate enough to get a job offer before completing the course. - MartynasGraduate • Data Analytics • OnlineDec 07, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Practical tasks mean that you have to solve "problems" that occur in the real world on your own, whereas other courses I have tried presented information in a "follow-along" manner with minimal and surface-level practical tasks/applications.
Additionally, I've learned about additional topics like RFM, A/B testing and got to deepen my understanding in some areas where I was already familiar (i.e. Regression).
Overall, Turing College is a very solid starting step in the world of Data Analytics. - Luke JessopGraduate • Data Analytics • OnlineDec 03, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A modern-day apprenticeship.
Before starting Turing College I came from a completely non-tech related background, the arts, and after Turing College I feel like "I'm in the tech industry now". Turing College really is such a uniquely different style of boot-camp that it feels as though it's in a bit of a category of it's own. I really could talk a lot about the many various ways that TC has created an amazing learning environment, but to keep it simple, let me list some of the main ideas here;

I really could talk a lot about the many various ways that TC has created an amazing learning environment, but to keep it simple, let me list some of the main ideas here;
- The curriculum progresses at a great pace, with a very gentle introduction, laying the foundations, up to final projects of epic proportions.
- The curriculum evolves over time to stay relevant with industry trends.
- You really do have so much contact time with working data analysts/data scientists that it really feels more like an apprenticeship than a boot-camp.
- You have a lot of freedom and space for creativity in the projects but still are held to high expectations for accuracy and statistical relevance etc.
- The platform is designed in a way that you are obliged to perform (at least some) peer reviews to continue learning. Often, these were the best moments, full of learning.
- The curriculum asks you to create so many projects that you become so used to 'working as a data analyst' that you really feel ready by the end of the course.
- The endorsement process (job finding assistance) follows the same trend of 1 to 1 contact with working 'hiring managers' to practice for job interviews.
- The online community has grown to be a little world within itself, with a constant supply of people willing to help out those in need.
I can confidently say that I turned into a data analyst at Turing College. It's tough, and asks a lot from you. But it's valuable/current/future-proofed stuff that they're offering. So if you're contemplating, give it a shot!

The program builds your understanding of data science and key skills required for professional application as well: presentation, reviewing and research. The material is plentiful with extra leads if you want to go down certain rabbit holes in your free time or if you want to 'spice up' your projects with fancy new tools. For me the reason Turing College stands out is the community that is built with staff, data science professionals and learners- plenty of live learning sessions to solve problems and discuss ideas with peers and professionals, active discord for pretty much 24/7 troubleshooting, accommodating staff that do the best to fit the course around the individuals. There is always someone to help and encourage which is a huge deal going through the learning process.

It has merged the best aspects of both online and traditional on-site learning by offering the flexibility and convenience of an self-paced online format and fostering the community spirit of on-site education.
Each topic was organized into three comprehensive sections: theory, practice, and a project, ensuring a well-rounded understanding. The project evaluations were particularly insightful, involving reviews from both advanced peers who had previously completed the tasks and senior professionals. This dual-perspective feedback facilitated valuable knowledge sharing and diverse insights.
Additionally, the opportunity to be a reviewer added an extra dimension to my learning experience. It's one thing to learn from your work, but evaluating others' projects offered new perspectives and a deeper understanding of the subject matter. I often found myself learning from my peers' approaches and helping others gain new insights.
The course also boasted an engaged and vibrant community. Despite being an online course, it fostered a sense of connection through discussions, study groups, and various activities, similar to on-site learning experiences. This environment not only enhanced my learning but also provided opportunities for networking and meeting new people, adding significant value to my educational journey.

Different type of coding school in a good way.
Different type of learning experience, you will learn by your own pace from material instead of traditional way of having classes with bunch of other students which may consume a lot of your time in regular bootcamp. Second best thing is that you will review other projects and will participate in stand-ups which I would say is good preparation for work environment. As well community is very friendly.
