June 01 2020The content is really great. Your all questions will be answered within a few hours by instructors in the slack channels. I have never seen such a kind of community support in any earlier online course. I am a Computer Vision nano degree Graduate from Udacity. Practicum is better in terms of helps we get in slack than Udacity.
Every big module has a project which is reviewed by experienced professionals, The review you get really helps to learn better. It was really helpful to me. All the projects and modules need to be completed within the timeline which helps you to make daily learning habits. It has more than 15 projects for Data Scientists track which is the best part.
Online biweekly webinars are learning with fun, The instructor was a former data scientist. He always shares tips and tricks from his experience.
This Bootcamp was a complete package that you don't want to miss, one of the best learning experience.

June 05 2020Those bi-weekly open-ended projects put structure in your data science studies, and are a great opportunity to look at a problem, find a cool new paper or library that can be used to solve such problems - and learn how to use them.
After submission, you'll also get individual feedback on your project, stimulating further growth and learning.
If you're planning on making your first steps in the world of data science, Practicum lays out a very enjoyable path for you to walk.

March 31 2020Lessons build one another in a logical progression and include practice data sets that let you apply new skills as you learn. They also describe common data analysis questions and use cases to provide context for the logic behind sample data analysis tasks. Their support team is friendly and quick to respond to questions.

April 1 2020I'm doing the Data Scientist course right now and I'll say that the introduction gives a lot of real-world examples of applicating what you're coding and help you analyze the results.
The only downside is that sometimes the coding isn't too intuitive, but that's all part of the process in learning.

March 31 2020As somebody who has already completed paid courses with other companies, I honestly wish that I had started with Yandex's course. They do a great job of explaining the topics in a fun and understandable fashion, while also ensuring that you leave with an in-depth knowledge. Their tutors are also very helpful!
I fell much more confident that I will be able to procure a job after finishing this course!

June 05 2020This year due to Coronavirus I decided to accept the invitation form Women Who Code to become a beta-tester of the Practicum by Yandex platform and I joined the Web Developer Professional Certificate Program.
The program is an amazing experience in which you will learn at a high rate and have the opportunity to put your skills to the test with sprints and projects bi-weekly.
Overall, the experience is pretty tough, yet incredibly valuable. The Practicum curriculum is significantly more advanced and up to date than many other bootcamps.
The strong curriculum is specially designed that after quality curated theoretical lectures is dropping you right into a code base challenge and having you figure out what is needed to be done to find solutions which accurately mimics the real world experience. The Sprints also provide space for students to work on projects independently and as small groups.
The curriculum is geared to make you build your portfolio of 15 projects by following the original mockup design files and add functionality as per instructions received for each project. You will collaborate through GitHub using a professional developer's workflow that will help you in your Developer job.
The Program is 10 months long and the review process and the projects activities gives you the real world work environment and prepare you to be ready to join any Company’s Developer team at any time. The Sprints are build having in mind the job ready Developers.
The mentors, community managers and support staff are top notch and care greatly about student advancement and, ultimately, success. The program provides also great alumni network with an active Slack.
I don’t have enough words to recommend Practicum by Yandex Curriculum, join today and you will be definitely happy with your choice! Give it a try!
