Good content! The course is divided into into many small sprints based around a topic (Exploratory Data Analysis, SQL, Statistics, etc.) with a project on the topic at the end of each sprint. These are further organized into modules where you have integrated projects to synthesize your knowledge.
They have great support as well. Instructors can answer your questions and provide suggestions to your code. Additionally they also have live sessions via webcam as well!
Great experience overall.
I recently finished the first module of the Data Science course. It's a lot of work, but with the help of the many different resources and people available to you throughout the process, it really pays off. The biggest hurdle for some will be learning to ask for help, and Practicum encourages it throughout the process. For me personally what really has helped me solidify my learning is the projects. Every major section so far has had a project that you get feedback on and sent back to you until you get it right. And all of my reviewers so far have added in little extra tips to help along the way or make things simpler for myself above and beyond the normal project review. Added a photo of what I've completed so far so that others can see I'm actually taking the course
The course has a lot of issues it deals with, with good explanations, lots of tasks, works, and projects to learn to code by ourselves.
Also, the team is very helpful, smart and professional, and they always answer you fast to all your questions.
I am very satisfied with this course!
With Yandex. Practicum you just start to do things. Education process follows the rule "Less theory, more practice" and this is great! I already finished 1/3 of the Data Science program and wrote 4 projects with real review process (by human). I'm recommending the platform if you don't know from what to start. Practicum gives you a full view of the day-to-day tasks, what you will do on this job title and how to do a decision making. In other words you will prepare to reality of a speciality.
If programming and Data Analysis for you something brand new than you probably should give this course a try.
I've tried many different courses and programs to learn Python language, and I'm still discovering new things, cause programming and Data Science / Data Analysis is all about perpetual learning. Few month ago I found Yandex Practicum and decided to try... And I really enjoy it! This course is based on real cases, so it is easier (for me) to study from practice.
There are thousands of ways to start learning coding. For some people, it is easier to learn basics with video lessons, for others (like me), it is easier to learn from practical experience. There is Python.org tutorial, that is really useful at the very beginning, but it has no real-based tasks.
The Team of Yandex Practicum is helpful! You get really useful feedback and new ways to improve you code.
So, I personally recommend this course.
One of the best websites you can find if you're serious about studying Data Science. I don't want to spill the beans, but it's nothing easy. In a world led by technological advancements and soon by artificial intelligence, it's essential for people in my working field to get acquainted with the subject, and Practicum made it a whole lot easier to understand Python and the complex algebra I had so many troubles with. I'd love it if you provided more additional resources for every topic in case of one's need for a deeper understanding or general curiosity, but the course isn't missing anything out - very clear and consice, great experience.
I've been hired as a junior front-end developer by a company in Moscow; it happened three weeks ago. I'm learning tons of stuff at work: Vue.js, Webpack. My hours are 10 to 7, but even after hours, I've got plenty to learn.
Practicum has really set me up well for front-end work. I'm pretty much a full-fledged programmer at work already. JS could use some work though, :)) ) but BEM that we did in the first couple months has been really helpful. All in all, I've got some real working knowledge from Practicum.
Practicum is setup on a platforms that is great for a variety of learning styles. There are the written theory sections of each chapter, then practical hands-on lessons, along with big projects to put what you learned to use. These projects can later be used in a professional portfolio, especially since we each hand code our own projects from scratch.
The program also offers a lot of support in the form of a regular tutor, other students, community manager and also live coding webinars. They also help students learn to think like a developer, as far as learning to troubleshoot and work through issues.
In my experience, it's a great program and all of the staff have been very knowledgeable and supportive. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to break into coding or data analysis!
Outstanding course! Very informative and detailed foundation for understanding coding. General web development principles are delivered in a simple, easy to grasp way and applied to practice providing students with immediate hands-on training. It was just the right amount of "taking me by the hand" for my entry-level. And the reason why I chose Practicum first place was the fact that they have female instructors. Darya was amazing in both explaining the theory and checking + commenting on my project assignments. But don't get me wrong: other training instructors were top-notch too.
Thank you for providing such a great course at such an affordable price to students like me who cannot pay high fees for such quality education from such inspiring teachers.
Practicum by Yandex (data science program) offers systematised learning with clear progression and constant sense of achievement. In my opinion, this 12 months intensive course will skill you up to industry standard data analysis. You will build an impressive portfolio ranging from EDA to computer vision. This is an excellent boot-camp that will be gaining in popularity for sure.
It's a lot of educational recourses out there, but I think I'll stick to Yandex. Really impressed with the content quality and our professors' way of teaching. I feel like I'm always ready to jump in for some extra coding hours, and trust me, I usually get bored pretty fast. Practicum for me has been like a blueprint for my web-development success. It requires that you follow along and work hard, but the rewards are totally worth it!
I've just recently learned about Practicum by Yandex, but have already completed the free part. The tasks are quite doable. Neither too easy nor too hard. Having a cheatsheet after every block is very useful. The setup of the service is very convenient. I have absolutely no idea how the online platform checks your answers and points out the mistakes, but it does!
This is the best self-learning project I've ever come across. Practicum by Yandex is an opportunity for growth and learning, with practical knowledge pure and undiluted by the dry, sleep-inducing webinars you get with other platforms. It's a mainstay for anyone beginning their journey toward work as a web developer. It can be a challenging road, one traveled with trepidation and in fear of making a false step, though now there's the safety net that is Practicum by Yandex
The best part of this platform, I think, is the personally reviewed projects. The regular tasks in an online learning platform (which Practicum has as well) just teach you to write lines of code, and aren't unique in any platform. Projects, however, provide an exceptional opportunity for the devoted student to explore new, external libraries and improve their skills, and the feedback given enhances the process even more. Try it out :)
It's already 5 months since I started to learn Data Analysis with Yandex Practicum. My main motivation was to learn to code in Python and improve my technical skills. The Practicum helps a lot.
It was extremely hard in the beginning. But I never thought about giving the course up. As time goes it's getting easier to code and to analyze different types of data. I especially like the project part.
And I love my co-students because they ask a lot of questions in the forum and their questions help to solve the exercises and work on projects.
I wanted to start my career into Data science field but don't know which one to prefer, later on I joined Yandex. Practicum, course material is more practical than theory and every sprint I need to do projects which are very useful in real life, reviewer reviews my codes if any issue in the project they gave me feedback where I went wrong, I am able to write codes more clearly and course material is very good according to industry requirement
After finishing a full-stack web development boot-camp, I felt lost and was definitely not ready for a job in the web development world. Since then, I knew that boot camps were not meant for me, but then I was going through Facebook and saw this ad for being a beta test for this new course that Practicum had, that one being a web development course. In my mind, I was skeptical. I already knew how boot-camps worked and how all they care about most of the time is to make money without caring whether the students learn or not, but I decided to give it a try; after all, it couldn't hurt, and I was a beta test. I've decided to enroll and did the introductory week and learned more in 2 weeks than I did in 2 months in my other boot-camp. Ever since I started, it has been quite a ride, with impressive and up to date materials. You're not just reading and asked to do something that you have no idea how to do, you get to practice all that you've learned, and then you get a task. The other great thing is that while you are learning, you are also learning Agile methodology, which is used for most companies out there. Now the tasks can be difficult and challenging at time, but you have a fantastic community and a tutor that is always willing to answer your questions. Reviews are the same way, they can seem as they are too picky at times, but in reality, they are trying to review your code as an actual company would. Thanks to Practicum, I could definitely say I am way better developer than I was when I came out of my other boot-camp and thanks to them, I now feel like confident enough to enter the field
As a Ph. D. student I started to study data science in Practicum, which is really amazing. The team and mentors are great and I see advancing. My intent is advancing much more and I advice this experience to any one who is serious and has intent to study data science.
The support team helps you when you need, community managers helps and here for you anytime when you feel stuck and your reviewers and mentors helps you to figure out problems.
Also the study is based on theoratical and practical structure. I feel I'm learning theoretical background while learning applicable data science.
My other focus is studying data science in Y-Data School.
Thanks Practicum team.
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.
What makes Practicum by Yandex really stand out is the fact that theory goes hand in hand with practice. Another feature worth mentioning is the instant feedback that really facilitates the learning process. Overall, the course seemed quite simple to me as I've already taken some HTML and CSS courses before.
Answer: It is legit! I have been using it since February 2020 and I have completed 6 Python projects under them. Try the introductory course for free if you're skeptical.
Answer: Encouragement from the community manager helped. After trying to learn coding on my own, it was nice to have someone keeping me accountable. I also read a lot of positive reviews. It seemed worth the risk considering how affordable they are. And it was a great decision for me. They are an incredible school.
Answer: I'm not sure why haha just saw the ad and thought i wanna try)
