I enrolled in the DEA's Diamond and the AI programs in Feb and April of 2025 respectively. However I was hit with multiple serious health issues and was in long term disability - including issues with both my corneas and one retina that prevented me from any kind of screen time. Chris Garzon called me when I almost gave up on the programs after talking to my CS. He gave me 95% discount on the renewal after considering my health situations. I am so grateful that I did not lose out on two excellent programs on offer by DEA solely due to my health conditions. Chris's generosity and humanity saved the day for me. The technology, curriculum and support is equally top drawer stuff in my experience so far before going on the medical leave. I look forward to be able to complete my programs, thanks mainly to Chris and Afnaan (and the rest of the unsung heroes at DEA).

I joined the Data Engineering Academy in November, and it has been an amazing experience so far. The resources provided are comprehensive and easy to follow. Having a personal coach for support and guidance has made my learning journey even more valuable and motivating.

Curriculum & Technical Depth The curriculum was structured around: Core foundations (data modeling, ETL/ELT concepts, batch vs streaming) SQL and Python for data pipelines Cloud platforms Data warehousing Workflow orchestration What I appreciated: It wasn’t just surface-level tutorials. We had to actually build pipelines. Concepts like data partitioning, orchestration, schema design, and performance tuning were explained in practical context. There was emphasis on understanding why certain architectural decisions are made. If you’re someone who likes structured learning with applied implementation, this format works well. Projects & Hands-On Work The biggest value for me was: Building end-to-end pipelines instead of isolated exercises. Working with realistic datasets. Deploying pipelines to the cloud instead of just running locally.

I joined the DEA course last July, and I cannot recommend this school highly enough. From day one, the instructors and staff have been fully committed to my success, providing constant support and guidance as I worked through the curriculum. It is rare to find a program that combines high-level technical training with this level of genuine empathy and flexibility. If you are looking for a school that actually cares about its students' progress and personal circumstances, this is it. They are truly the best in the business!

Akshata has been great so far and keeps me in the loop with the job apply process

The job application team focuses on understanding individual requirements and helps create tailored resumes for specific roles. Having a great experience working with the team.

The job apply process is going really well, lots of applications each day and lots of recruiters reaching out more than I thought, this is a so helpful when you work fulltime. Akshata is the best!

It has been an amazing and truly rewarding experience working with the Data Engineering team, especially observing their processes, content quality, and collaborative culture. I genuinely admire their commitment to helping individuals grow, continuously learn, and shape their careers in the best possible way. Special thanks to Stefan, Akshata, Pooja, and Ninad for their constant support and guidance throughout the entire process.
