"Amazing Support from the team "

This program has been simply amazing in my career. The support and guidance is amazing. I am not going to lie, I was a bit skeptical of the program. But it hasn't let me down yet. The SQL questions, Data Engineering models are literally top tier. My only suggestion is more videos that walk you through the solutions with better quality. The ones we have are okay. I enjoy the weekly lectures, 1:1 coaching sessions the most. I just need more than working on this alone. However, I am enjoying my time at Data Engineering so far. The team is great at supporting you !

"My experience with DEA"

I have joined DEA 1.5 months back, it's a self paced course with a full support from team. Best thing is you will get everything you need for your interview preparation, support with resumes and job application under one platform. I had very basic knowledge of SQL and right now I can say I have gained more confidence on that. Till now, my experience with the Data Engineering Academy has been excellent.

"Experience with DE Academy "

About a year ago, I decided to change my job and, during conversations with industry professionals, realized that the interview process had evolved significantly. I attended a few interviews prior to enrolling in the Data Engineering Academy, but they didn't work out because I encountered tools and technologies I hadn't used in my current job.

Looking for a solution, I connected with Chris, who helped me identify the gaps in my knowledge and suggested tools and technologies I needed to learn. He developed tailored projects specifically for my situation, which provided a well-rounded understanding to tackle interview questions effectively and excel in my future job role. These projects also gave me insight into future employment opportunities and how my skills matched the required tech stack.

The projects were well-architected with comprehensive documentation and explanations. The team at Data Engineering Academy supported me through the entire process, from resume preparation to mock interview sessions and overall interview preparation. Their assistance was invaluable in boosting my confidence and readiness.

Overall, my experience with the Data Engineering Academy was excellent, from resume preparation to negotiation. Their engagement has helped me immensely in my current role, and I hope it does the same for you.

"Data Engineer"

My experience with Data Engineer Academy has been excellent for the following reasons:
1. I thank Chris for this work. Hands on projects provide practical experience that compliments theoretical knowledge on cloud services
2. Career guidance is helpful.
3. The curriculum is well-structured and covers essential aspects of data engineering, from data modeling and ETL processes to cloud services including Data warehousing using Snowflake.
4. The instructors at Data Engineer Academy are industry professionals with extensive experience.
5. I like the community and support where we learn new concepts via weekly discussions
6. Resume reviews, Data Modeling Questions and Case Studies are good in the portal to develop scalable data modeling solutions as well as understanding AWS services practically.
7. Course content is updated to reflect the latest tools and technologies.

"The missing key for me"

I joined as a Data Analyst with a small amount of work experience. So far so good. They offer a lot of resources with personal coaching and with filling in whatever gaps you might have with education, interviewing, resume, etc. They’ve done a great job with helping me realize what I’m doing wrong and what I’m lacking when approaching the RIGHT job position…not just accepting any job out of desperation. I’ve gained a lot confidence in my understanding SQL now. Before joining, I had a hard time focusing on the specifics of what I needed to learn to really feel ready approach the job market. Great customer service and 1on 1 mentorship . I’m 100% grateful I found a company that clearly cares about my success as much if not more than me!

"DE has elevated my real work experience…"

DE has elevated my real work experience in Data engineering and provided me with an invaluable Mentorship and hands on coaches who are always there to guide you on live video calls or slack or skool group learning sessions, giving me the much confidence to handle any projects in Data engineering and score high in interviews.
Anyone seeking to get on Data Engineering, then DE Academy is the boiler room to ace your hands on experience on the job.

"DE is not an academy but a platform…"

DE is not an academy but a platform with several mentors who make sure each and every candidate is ready for interview. With built in project, individuals coaching and mock interviews, Chris and his team will make sure everyone will have a big salary hike in the next role.

"DE Academy far more than a training program."

DE Academy isn't some traditional bootcamp, or instructional course, it's something really special in they not only give you the information you need but totally prepare you for the entire landing a job process. They cover the real "meat and potatoes" of being a data engineer. They take you step by step from learning what a data engineer is, the skills necessary to be a data engineer, resume optimization, application process, interview prep and practice, the job and what to expect, and support through your career as you grow including wage negotiations, and more. They really concentrate on what is truly important and helping you stand out amongst other applicants. The coaching staff is super supportive, and responsive to your questions, and any issues that arrise. You really feel prepared to not only be confident at being a Data Engineer, but in being able to excell at, not only landing a job, but growing as a professional.

"Founder is committed to your success"

Hi, this is an update to a previous review. My initial experience with DEA and their representative Jason was really bad, he was not capable of telling me more about DEA and repeatedly insulted me for what I didn't already know about them, amongst other things. However, I recognize that the experience with their new salesperson doesn't necessarily reflect the overall academy. Chris (the founder) found out about my bad experience through my negative review and took action to turn things around for me. He called me himself and apologized. He gave me access to some resources to help me learn more about data engineering and offered to give me a mock interview. I also did a re-do of the discovery call with someone who had more tenure at DEA and it was much more pleasant, and I was able to learn more about what they have to offer.

A few positive things I'll say about their coaching program is that at the mid-price level they offer unlimited mock interviews and one on one time. This is a higher level of attention and support than the program I ended up signing up with (at a similar price point). They also stick with you until you find a job, and expressed that is something they really care about. I wish they were more transparent about their pricing, but I do like that they are flexible with it. They have three pricing tiers for the coaching, and unlike other places they can adjust within those tiers if you don't need everything.

For their online trainings, I'll say that it seems expensive for the quality and production value of the trainings. I have been taking classes on Udemy, which vary widely, but since this is at a more premier price I was hoping it would be more polished. That said, I think that their curriculum is a better, more practical match for someone looking for a single program to learn Data Engineering than the other classes I have looked at. There are other classes out there on these topics, but DEA brings it all together into one curriculum. The content I have seen so far seems like it would be approachable for someone with less experience. I like the interview question content that they have so far, I would just expand it into additional topics (they have questions for three specific topics, instead of overall Data Engineering questions so it has gaps).

I am not a graduate of the program and have just checked out some of their content so far, so my review is not for the overall experience. However, I think if you're someone who is interested in Data Engineering and are seeking more support and 1:1 coaching, this is a good option to look into.
