Great Program! I have been trying to get back into the Data Engineering field after a 4 year break. After trying for a year without much success, I decided to join DE academy to address gaps and hone my skills. Chris and his team at DE academy are amazing, helpful and truly want you to succeed. They provided me valuable insights into the DE interview process, helped me fine tune my resume and hone my skills in SQL, Data Modeling and System Design. I would like to make a special mention on the depth and breadth of their SQL and Data Modeling content that cannot be found anywhere else. I highly recommend the program to both people looking to start their data engineering careers and experienced data engineers.

Founder is committed to your success Hi, this is an update to a previous review. My initial experience with DEA and their representative Jason was really bad, he was not capable of telling me more about DEA and repeatedly insulted me for what I didn't already know about them, amongst other things. However, I recognize that the experience with their new salesperson doesn't necessarily reflect the overall academy. Chris (the founder) found out about my bad experience through my negative review and took action to turn things around for me. He called me himself and apologized. He gave me access to some resources to help me learn more about data engineering and offered to give me a mock interview. I also did a re-do of the discovery call with someone who had more tenure at DEA and it was much more pleasant, and I was able to learn more about what they have to offer. A few positive things I'll say about their coaching program is that at the mid-price level they offer unlimited mock interviews and one on one time. This is a higher level of attention and support than the program I ended up signing up with (at a similar price point). They also stick with you until you find a job, and expressed that is something they really care about. I wish they were more transparent about their pricing, but I do like that they are flexible with it. They have three pricing tiers for the coaching, and unlike other places they can adjust within those tiers if you don't need everything. For their online trainings, I'll say that it seems expensive for the quality and production value of the trainings. I have been taking classes on Udemy, which vary widely, but since this is at a more premier price I was hoping it would be more polished. That said, I think that their curriculum is a better, more practical match for someone looking for a single program to learn Data Engineering than the other classes I have looked at. There are other classes out there on these topics, but DEA brings it all together into one curriculum. The content I have seen so far seems like it would be approachable for someone with less experience. I like the interview question content that they have so far, I would just expand it into additional topics (they have questions for three specific topics, instead of overall Data Engineering questions so it has gaps). I am not a graduate of the program and have just checked out some of their content so far, so my review is not for the overall experience. However, I think if you're someone who is interested in Data Engineering and are seeking more support and 1:1 coaching, this is a good option to look into.

Definitely Recommend - Chris and the team at DE Academy are amazing, knowledgeable, and helpful. - The quality of SQL and data modeling questions to practice is amazing, which helped me ace the FAANG interview. - Real-world data engineering projects are good for learning end-end data projects. - I Would recommend it to anyone looking to upskill or find a good-paying role in the Data Engineering field.

Chris and his team at DE Academy are the best. In the journey to becoming a successful Data Engineer, DE Academy is the most amazing team for anyone could ever ask for, the learning plan is personalized, resources are very extensive. Your success is guaranteed with DE Academy, don’t take my words for it email to meet Chris and meeting him alone will convince you on the spot !

DE Academy far more than a training program. DE Academy isn't some traditional bootcamp, or instructional course, it's something really special in they not only give you the information you need but totally prepare you for the entire landing a job process. They cover the real "meat and potatoes" of being a data engineer. They take you step by step from learning what a data engineer is, the skills necessary to be a data engineer, resume optimization, application process, interview prep and practice, the job and what to expect, and support through your career as you grow including wage negotiations, and more. They really concentrate on what is truly important and helping you stand out amongst other applicants. The coaching staff is super supportive, and responsive to your questions, and any issues that arrise. You really feel prepared to not only be confident at being a Data Engineer, but in being able to excell at, not only landing a job, but growing as a professional.
