"The cohort experience was nothing short of fun, interesting, and most importantly, informative and qualitative in its lessons. The program moves quickly and can be challenging to stay on pace with, at times, but that’s why they call it a bootcamp! There is never a shortage of open communication, though, so questions were addressed in an open and timely manner. The instructors really know their stuff, and couldn’t have been happier to assist anyone at any point, no matter how big or small the topic might’ve been. I have gained a ton of new knowledge that I’ve been able to take back to work and teach others about. Highly recommend"

Olufemi Imam
Business Intelligence Analyst

"I got even more out of this cohort than I expected. The instructors had a way of breaking down complex topics using real examples that actually made things click. What really made the difference for me was the structure and support. It kept me motivated, and I left with practical skills I’m already using, and a real sense of progress."

Mike Leshansky
Senior Manaager

"I need more structure. Without the structure that a cohort provides, I just never would have been disciplined enough to gift myself the 10 hours of my own time each week towards upskilling in an area that directly benefits me and is of high interest to me. That’s the biggest thing that the cohort provided for me."
