Being an all-in-one tool for analytics, it can take a dataset from cleaning to prediction models and visualizations within a single software package.

“Definitely one of the best decision I ever made.”

I arrived in Canada with a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial engineering with no prior experience in analytics and a low English level. At WeCloudData, every instructor, TA, and mentor are all responsible, patient, and helpful, they always would love to share their experience and useful resources. During the boot camp, you have the chance to work on and present projects that you are passionate about, using all the skills that you learned and really making them yours. After the course, I was assigned a mentor (the best in the world) to help with my resume and interviews in June 2022 until I landed a DA position in January 2023.
