The encouragement and assistance along with all the available training have been great

My experience with the DE Academy has been good so far. My success coach designed a custom and structured plan to improve the skills needed for a data analyst. Mock interviews and the feedback are really helpful.

I had an excellent experience with Melinda Malida. She took the time to explain everything clearly and helped me resolve my issue. We scheduled a meeting, and I'll also be meeting with my student coordinator to make a plan moving forward. I'm determined to pass these courses because I've been struggling with a lot of anxiety from my current job. I work as a security guard and often have to deal with toxic, emotionally challenging situations - people yelling and being very difficult. That's not where want to be for the rest of my life. need to be mentally strong to handle that environment, but my goal is to move into remote tech work so I can find peace and stability. Thanks to the support received from Melinda and the academy, I'm motivated to continue learning SQL and Python. I'll do my best, with God's grace, to succeed. I highly appreciate the help

I had been wanting to shift career from Software Developer to Data Engineering since 2021. However, I clearly did not have a clear view of how to do it. Then, early this year, I came across this post on Facebook for people who want to switch careers to Data Engineering. I saved the post and went over it a couple of times. I was really interested but at the same time, hesitant, considering there are a lot of scam programs out there. I did my own research about the academy, and I found a lot of good reviews. So, I signed up. Soon after I signed up, a representative from DEA (Kevin Hu) called me and gave me valuable information about the program and how it helped a lot of people. He’s personable and easy to speak with. He was able to answer all my questions, cleared my doubts and motivated me that in the end, I decided to join DEA. Next was my meeting with Neha Bohra, one of DEA’s Technical CSM. She patiently guided me through my Personalized Plan (as I had a lot of questions. 😀), helped me set up apps and access to Skool, Slack, and DEA websites. She’s very helpful, and motivating as well. Prior to starting the courses were inspirational videos that will give you the necessary mindset. Students were also provided key points on how to improve our resumes and how to answer interview questions. During the course of my SQL lessons, I encountered troubles in some areas. I communicated with the team all these questions and doubts through our Slack channel, and there is always someone to help. After completing my SQL courses, I went through a series of mock tests. Conducted by both Manaswini and Neha Bohra. At first, I was nervous, thinking that I would be judged, if ever I did not pass the tests. On the contrary, both are helpful and supportive. The succeeding mock tests were more relaxed. They provided feedback and suggestions on how to improve my skills more. I still have a long way to go, so far, I have had nothing, but good experiences with DEA. For now, I have managed to complete my SQL courses. Before joining, I thought I already knew enough. While taking the course, I realized that it is not so. However, through DEA’s lessons and lots of practice questions, I feel that I am now more confident in my SQL skills. I would recommend DEA because first, it is not a scam. I feel that they are true to what they are promising, that is, to help us land a job in Data Engineering. But of course, we also must do our parts.

I’ve had a really positive experience with this data engineering academy. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, with a strong focus on practical, real-world applications rather than just theory. It’s been great for building hands-on skills and understanding how things actually work in the industry. Also want to give a shoutout to my CSM advisor, Yash, who has been very approachable and supportive throughout. He regularly checks in, provides helpful guidance, and makes sure I’m progressing in the right direction. Definitely recommend it to anyone serious about getting into data engineering.

My experience with DEA has been excellent! The coaches are very helpful and they stick with you ever step of the way. The modules that are available really helped me understand the engineering side of data a lot better. My coach Ryan was able to take concepts that were hard for me to grasp, and break them down so that I had a better understanding of the logic, and reasoning behind whatever it was I was doing.

I joined Data Engineering Academy with the goal of strengthening my data analytics skills and becoming more confident in applying them to real-world scenarios—and overall, it has been a really valuable experience. What I appreciated the most was how practical the program is. Instead of just focusing on theory, it emphasizes hands-on learning with tools like SQL, Python, and building data pipelines. Working on projects helped me understand how things actually work in a real business context, which made a big difference in my confidence.

Attentive and responsive.
