I was part of the Data Scientist track.
The 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.

I really love this course because it is possible to learn to code even though I never coded before. Before this course, I have tried to learn through many methods, like joining clubs at school and Hour of Code. However, this course teaches very clearly and anyone can benefit from it, no matter their experience level because of the Slack community tutor and personalized feedback on projects. Although I used this as an introduction to coding, others that are more experienced can also benefit by gaining more experience with data.

Fantastic Program If You Are Up To The Challenge!
This 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!

I just finished the free introductory web developer course. I learned some basic HTML and CSS coding a long time ago, so this was a great refresher with thorough information. The lessons are set up as a “project,” which makes it interesting and engaging. They also make it easy to get help should you get stuck on a lesson. This platform is definitely great for people new to coding or anyone needing a review.

I was impressed with the web development intro course. I expected to be bored as I already have an experience in web development years ago and I was just looking to quickly brush up on my knowledge but I was surprised how engaging and concise the course was. Also having access to a community of fellow learners and mentors to talk to is a big plus. I’m looking forward to the whole course.

I would like to recommend Practicum by Yandex’s Web Developer program to anyone looking to start a career as a Web Developer or even for experienced developers looking to improve their skills. The curriculum is comprehensive and covers all topics needed to become a full-stack web developer: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node and more. My favorite thing about this program is that as you learn new skills, you are also creating professional projects that showcase your understanding. In the end, you’ll have an impressive portfolio. Even though the program is remote, there’s a lot of support for students through tutor and live coding sessions. If you are not sure if this is the course for you, try the free intro course to get a feel for the platform and the community. You won’t regret it.

I'm new to coding, having watched only a few tutorials on YouTube, I didn't feel confident with the basics and wanted to find guided instruction online. The intro web developer course has enough structure, other classmates and mentors can be reached by message, and the website is wonderfully intuitive. I can't wait to begin the full course and in the mean time I'll try the other introductory courses.

Practicum's Python & Data Analytics Basics course is a great introduction to Python for data analysis. This course focuses a bit more on Python than on general data analysis, but it gives you enough information to get started.
Lessons 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.

As you might guess from its name, Practicum is focused on giving you the hands-on tools required to begin your journey in the field of data science. It first introduces you to a subject through several exercises, and then encourages you to improve your skills on your own through individual projects.
Those 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.

I have tried two other data/coding boot camps, and the Practicum by Yandex's data analytics and web development tutorials has by far been the best experience I have had. The way in which the program designed truly makes it easy for an absolute beginner to learn the ropes of data analytics, data science, or web development. There is no need to download multiple programming languages and script readers to follow along with the program. The Practicum team has done a phenomenal job of integrating the lesson sections and programming environment into one place. This makes the program easy to manage for beginners and makes learning less burdensome. 10/10!

The Python and Data Analysis Basics course is a great stepping stone into the world of Data Science. No forced search engine use for information and if you need assistance there's a great Slack community and staff to help you out. The lessons teach you the basics, but also keep you focused on the important information. Combining the lessons with real-world applications was one of the best parts of the course and really helped solidify the learning process.

I took the introductory course in the Data Science path, and I really enjoyed it! It was very well-paced, and I felt like the lessons were tough enough for you to take some time to work through them, but not so tough that it was impossible to complete. There are also some helpful hints for each task that can lead you in the right direction. The content is very creative, and the lessons follow some real-world examples of what it would be like to work in data science and what you can expect, which was very helpful. The platform was pretty user friendly, and they use a very simple onboarding style that doesn't take a lot of your time. Overall, a very well-structured course that seems quite promising in the future!

Practicum is a good introduction to Python for someone who doesn't have any experience with coding in general. The lessons are mostly clear and easy to understand and the tasks guide you step by step (there are hints if you get stuck).
I'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.

Overall, Practicum by Yandex is a great way to get started and learn about coding. I just completed the pre-course work for Python and Data Analysis, and overall it does a great job explaining basic concepts and the lessons had over good structure. There were some typos throughout the lessons, and some sections could use some more practice/examples but I definitely recommend it to someone who's looking to get into coding.

How is studying arranged?
There are three main components — theoretical breakdown followed by practical tasks on our interactive online platform, assignments to practice on your own, and coding under your tutor's supervision. You can practice on our platform at any time that is convenient for you, but assignment completion is time-restricted.
What if I can't keep up with the workload?
If you think you need to take a break or get some extra time to process the material, you have the opportunity to take a month-long study leave, but only two times during the program. The curriculum also includes three one-week vacations.
Will you help me find a job?
Yes, we will. If you want to find a job in an entirely new field, we’ll help you write a resume, find job openings and practice taking interviews. Even if you don’t get the chance to land a job by the end of training, we’ll still be there for you after the course.
