My journey at Blossom Academy has been a very interesting one, especially coming from a very limited coding background. At Blossom, working on real-life projects in addition to the virtual and in-person sessions definitely added to my knowledge of building ETL pipelines, building data warehouses, scraping the web, just to name a few. The soft skills sessions were also amazing and something I always looked forward to on Saturdays. I would recommend Blossom to anyone looking upskill themselves in the data science space. They give you more than just technical knowledge; it really is the place to be.

As an already practicing data engineer, I have been able to fill several knowledge gaps through the Blossom Academy Data Engineering Program. I can now confidently work with Amazon Cloud web services, scrape websites effortlessly as well as ETL pipeline construction using Apache Spark or Apache Airflow.

I’ve been looking to break into the data engineering field but was overwhelmed by the numerous tutorials online. Blossom created a solid path for me to build on. Now, I can confidently build on that knowledge to deliver value

When I reflect on my three-month course with Blossom Academy, I conclude that the experience not only made me a better Data Engineer but also prepared me in unpredictable ways for my career. Through virtual classes and in-person sessions with incredibly supportive classmates, and tutors who were nothing short of champions, I was challenged to discover a potential I didn’t know I had. In my current role as a Data Scientist, I draw every day on the skills and experience I developed during my time at Blossom Academy when I am tasked to perform Data Engineering activities. It was a wonderful time in my life, and the best educational experience I’ve had

With a strong interest in data analytics, I knew I could do more with data but didn't know where to start. I turned to watching YouTube videos for more knowledge on data science but struggled to be consistent. With the combination of virtual and in-person lectures provided by Blossom Academy, I have been able to understand Machine Learning fundamentals and the intuition behind them. I can now make better, easily interpretable and well-calculated predictions.
