As someone who always struggled with traditional studies and school (still have a masters in pharmacy though), I really appreciated the fact that Turing College focuses so much on the practical aspects and teaches you what you will actually use in the future working in the respective position. The community they have built is unbelievable in the sense that they found a way to keep everyone engaged to everyone's benefit. My learning style involved me just trying to do everything by myself all the time but now I can easily get help from other learners who are more advanced and encountered the issues I have. This accelerates the rate at which I can learn ridiculously. This is especially true while learning something like data analytics since its very easy to go into rabit holes while looking for answers. Everyone I've interacted was really friendly and helpful which definitely makes it easier to ask when I have any questions and I can do the asking pretty much anytime and get a response quickly thorugh discord or if an open session is running I can join that and know for sure that my question wil be answered. Overall, I feel really happy to have started my journey into data at Turing College. Read less

 The course is a well put together mixture of available material online, the best part is that the material is well organized and the course follows a structured approach. This also includes a steady, expected continuous growth that ultimately, which means you won't be asked for things you haven't yet studied. The caveat is that most of this content is already available for free. 

Where the course and the school itself excels is the socialization part, with stand-ups, open sessions and peer reviews ingrained into the core of it. They are invaluable experiences of growth and socialization, with exchanges of ideas that can bring people closer to their goals. It doesn't happen often, but the reviewers may not be aligned say on what is important for a project and on this kind of small technicalities.

I joined Turing College with almost no coding experience at the very beginning of the college during the Covid. At Turing I gained solid foundations of software engineering, machine learning and deep learning. The combination of these skills allowed me to gain my first job in a consultancy company. 

While Turing serves as an instrumental stepping stone towards a career in data science, I acknowledge that it alone does not make you a great data science specialist, so you will need to continue learning even after the graduation. However, it stands as a transformative platform for someone who wants to enter the data science field and get the basic skills.

After Turing I decided to pursue a master's degree in data science, so I can compare Turing with traditional universities. I can assure you that Turing College will provide you with skills that are on demand in the job market, unlike universities where you learn coding with old-fashioned statistical software and many courses are deeply theoretical with little practical applications in the job market. 

Another advantage of studying in Turing is distance and self-paced learning. You can study at your preferred pace and the only "exams" you need to pass are projects at the end of each sprint where you'll receive feecback by Senior Team Leads (STLs) with profound experience in their fields. 

Lastly, while studying in Turing, you will prepare a portfolio with data science projects, a practical embodiment of your knowledge. These will definitely allow you to stand out of other DS graduates and bring and advantage during job interviews.

I have studied in a lot of different online bootcamps and schools (datacamp, edx, coursera, etc). Turing College was the most useful for the following reasons:
1. Projects reviewed by industry professionals. The way that learning works in Turing is as follows: curriculum is spilt into sprint, each sprint is a topic (A/B testing, Cohorts, etc). In each sprint after completing the theory, you have to do a practical projects. Then these practical projects are graded by an industry professional during an 1-on-1 meeting. A lot of other bootcamp miss this human touch, a professional that can tell you why you approach is ok, but may run into maintenance issues in the future and such.
2. A flexible learning model. There are no classes so you can learn wherever and whenever you want. There are deadlines for each sprint of course and you have to meet with your batch in weekly standups. But even standups have 2-3 times to choose from each week, so it very very flexible.
3. Community. Community is not a nice to have, but an essential part of the learning experience. You have to participate in weekly standups, you have to do project reviews for other learners or you won’t be able to progress with your own material, you have to help other people in discord (this one is not mandatory, but if you won’t help other, other won’t help you). You make friends and a lot of good connections this way.
4. Help getting employed. One of the main selling points of Turing is that ~97% or something like that people get employed no longer than 6 months after graduation, so they are very interested to keeps this number up. They help to setup you linkedin and github, search for roles and get ready for interviews. They are partners with a lot of different companies that help create the curriculum, so Turing will make sure that you get employed. I got hired while still studying.
I hope this review helps you make a decision! Read less
