My journey with Data Engineer Academy has been nothing short of transformative! Coming into the program, I was eager to strengthen my SQL skills, and thanks to the academy’s structured curriculum and hands-on projects, I’ve grown tremendously in confidence and capability. The practical exercises have given me real-world context that I can already apply in my work. I’m equally excited about what’s next—especially diving deeper into Python and AWS—and continuing to build a solid foundation for my future as a data professional. The learning path is clear, motivating, and challenging in all the right ways. I also want to give a huge shoutout to Stefan, my Customer Success Manager. His support has been outstanding—always responsive, encouraging, and genuinely invested in my success. Having someone so dedicated to guiding me through this journey has made all the difference. If you’re considering leveling up your data engineering skills, I can’t recommend Data Engineer Academy enough. The combination of technical training, personalized support, and a motivating community truly sets it apart.

You guys are great!

I am working with my coach Stefan and he is very responsive and does his best to resolve or provide the solution as soon as possible. I am rating his responsiveness and professionalism 5 Star. One big issue I am facing is with scheduling one on one sessions with the other Data Engineering/ System Design coach. Would have been very helpful if that was responsive and proactive as well.

They provide a great range of courses, and stay with you while you work at your pace. The projects and mock interviews really help build your confidence and competence!

I’ve always wanted to explore the data engineering role, building on my background as a data analyst and scientist. I’ve been in the program for about a month, but since I’m also running my business and traveling, I sometimes struggled to keep up with my tailored schedule. After sharing my concerns about falling behind, my coach was incredibly flexible and reassuring, providing thorough follow-ups that made me feel supported. This has helped me feel more confident and motivated to continue progressing through the program without feeling overwhelmed. I’ve also worked with a few different coaches, and each one has given me constructive feedback that has been very helpful for my growth.

Data Engineering Academy is an awesome path to a high paying joyful career focused on your interests and strengths. You'll also get to work with a team responsive to it's progress in real time that improves overtime. I went to Dev Bootcamp in 2016, App Academy in 2018, and Data Engineering Academy is by far better than both. The coaches are professional, know how to code, and how to coach. Data Engineering Academy also sets up interviews for you so all you have to do is follow the curriculum and you'll land your dream job in no time.

This company ROCKS. Period. That's all I'm going to say.

While in attendance at Data Engineering Academy, it has been a transformative experience that is doing a good job preparing me to level up my data engineering career and is giving me the confidence to take on FAANG-level interviews. DE Academy has given me extensive practice with concepts like SQL, Data Modeling and AWS just to name a few. Moreover, I've had exceptional mentorship from experts like Afnan. As someone transitioning from a non-technical background, I found the curriculum’s focus on real-world tools like Snowflake, AWS, and the practice problems incredibly practical, while the personalized 1:1 coaching and 24/7 Slack support kept me on track. Afnan’s mentorship was a highlight for me because his ability to explain concepts and clarify complex topics, provided me tailored feedback that felt personal to me and not seen as just another number (i.e. Student ID#1234). Afnan also offered strategic advice to how to prepare for mock interviews which became instrumental for me when building my portfolio. I am confident that once I have completed this program, I will have landed a high-paying Data Engineering role which I sought after when I first began my journey here at DE Academy. All in all, I believe DE Academy’s job placement support, as well as resume reviews and access to a vast recruiter network, made the investment worthwhile, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone serious about data engineering!
