General Assembly London

Quite disappointed with the Data Science course instructor who struggled to communicate well. Spending £3k and not getting full value out of it. After completion of the course, I did not feel confident enough that my fundamentals were clear and I can progress in the field further. GA did not take any action after multiple complaints. A lot of us put our time and money into it with not enough return.

The range and depth of content was perfect for a 'beginner' to enter the world of data science. It also provides a good opportunity for devs (who already have a good understanding of programming) to explore types of business problem they may not have been exposed to before. I would recommend to get the most out of the course participants spend 6 months (c. 100 - 200 hours) making sure they understand the basic of Python and stats before enrolling. There were some members on the course who ha...

The Data Science program was well structured. It's slow in the beginning just getting to grips with python and pandas, but then starts to move pretty fast with a new topic for each lesson. You get a lot of information and you really need to make time outside class to make it worthwhile. The team of instructors was great and the learning space in Aldgate East is fantastic. The course gave a me a good understanding of Data Science as a whole and where I might want to go next.

Super great and modern building. An awesome space for tech learning. GA hit the nail on the head for tech training these courses are relevant, taught by industry experts and all of the staff are just lovely. 100% recommend coming here!
