DE Academy really helped take my skills…

DE Academy really helped take my skills to the next level. The mentorship that is available is one of a kind, and the coaches really walk with you every step of the way. If you are serious about improving you skills, I recommend the DEA!!

Curriculum & Technical Depth

Curriculum & Technical DepthThe curriculum was structured around:Core foundations (data modeling, ETL/ELT concepts, batch vs streaming)SQL and Python for data pipelinesCloud platformsData warehousingWorkflow orchestrationWhat I appreciated:It wasn’t just surface-level tutorials. We had to actually build pipelines.Concepts like data partitioning, orchestration, schema design, and performance tuning were explained in practical context.There was emphasis on understanding why certain architectural decisions are made.If you’re someone who likes structured learning with applied implementation, this format works well.Projects & Hands-On WorkThe biggest value for me was:Building end-to-end pipelines instead of isolated exercises.Working with realistic datasets.Deploying pipelines to the cloud instead of just running locally.

5 Start Review and Kudos for the DEA Staff

I joined the DEA course last July, and I cannot recommend this school highly enough. From day one, the instructors and staff have been fully committed to my success, providing constant support and guidance as I worked through the curriculum.It is rare to find a program that combines high-level technical training with this level of genuine empathy and flexibility. If you are looking for a school that actually cares about its students' progress and personal circumstances, this is it. They are truly the best in the business!

Data Engineer Academy…my experience so far

I signed up with Data Engineer Academy to increase my technology depth. I love that they focus on topics that are directly relatable to today's DE demands. The curriculum is relevant, the content is engaging, and the instructors actually work in the industry, so they can provide direct real-world example and use cases to study.The course has evolved over the time I've been with the program which tells me they are always looking to keep it relevant to this ever-changing technology.I have found the SMEs to be helpful and genuinely concerned with the success of participants. The program provides a guarantee in finding a position as well. I'm excited to see what opportunities are ahead in this field.

Job guarantee not honored — contract services not fully delivered

I enrolled in DE Academy in February 2025 under a one-year agreement that included a job guarantee.According to the contract, the scope of services included applying to 5–25 jobs per day on my behalf, along with unlimited support resources (resume reviews, mock interviews, Slack support, and coaching access) for the duration of the program.In my experience, these services were not consistently delivered as outlined. There were periods where the daily application activity did not occur, and access to some of the “unlimited” support resources was inconsistent.I participated in the program for the full contract term and remained engaged throughout. By the end of the guarantee period, I did not receive a data engineering role, and my refund request was denied.After more than one year in the program, I am left with:NO JobNO Refund under the guaranteeA ONE-YEAR GAP on my resume while participating in the programBased on my experience, I do not recommend doing business with this company. I encourage prospective students to carefully review the contract terms and fully understand the conditions before enrolling.

I signed up with DE Academy slightly…

I signed up with DE Academy slightly over a year ago. I was mainly sold on their job search service - I hate the application process, and after a year of unsuccessful attempts and annoyed by low conversion rates, I decided that someone who would do all the hard work for me would be a great solution to my problem. I had been in the DS role for a few years at that point, so learning new DE skills was useful. It took me longer than most folks due to personal reasons (and I was not in a rush). The job application started a month ago, and all I need to do is to prep and show for the interviews. Today I landed an offer that's a 70% raise to my current salary. The guys absolutely delivered what they promised.

I grew my technical & interview skills from my DEA journey!

As a mid-career professional transitioning from a non-tech background to a technical role, the DEA program was exactly what I needed to have new experiences and grow my technical skills!I learned an incredible amount, and Cristi and Rasika were a huge part of my progress. Beyond the technical curriculum, they helped me stay focused and stress less while navigating 500+ job applications. With their help, I secured 12+ meaningful first-round interviews within a 3 month period, which helped me sharpen my interview prep and delivery skills, while building my confidence to navigate the job search process.I’m moving on to my next chapter feeling better prepared than before I started!

The DEA Apply Team truly impressed me

The DEA Apply Team truly impressed me. With Hiral and Kajal’s consistent daily application efforts, I’ve been receiving about four interviews per month — which is incredible for me.DEA is a highly committed organization focused on helping you gain real exposure and land your Data Engineering role. I’m truly grateful for their support.Thank you, Hiral and Kajal!

had a full mock interview today with…Juhita Das

had a full mock interview today with Juhita,uhita asked thoughtful, relevant questions and paid close attention to both my technical answers and my problem solving approach. What stood out most was the quality of her feedback , it was clear, honest, and very actionable. She highlighted my strengths while also pointing out areas for improvement in a constructive and encouraging way.She explained why certain answers worked better than others and gave practical tips on how to structure responses, think out loud, and communicate more confidently under pressure. This made the session extremely valuable, not just for interview prep but for overall professional growth.

Great curriculum to equip oneself with the right tools!

Coming from a tech background, I decided to re-skill in dataengineering as it is gaining prominence presently and in the forseeable future. The curriculum is great, with good instructors and success managers who help to keep up with the prescribed training recommendations. My success manager Afnan is fantastic as he motivates, makes suggestions and checks-in periodically to assist with any issues or stumbling blocks. Among the many SMEs and coaches Neha, Priyanshu, Avirup, Nikola and Juhita were absolutely wonderful in giving me help with the problems that I encountered. I have started recently but looking forward to finishing with great skills that will re-launch a successful tech career.

They own up to what they promised

I am about 2.5 months into my courses, I feel like the course material is quite thorough and manageable to understand even if you are a beginner (like myself). The instructor’s are always extremely helpful and friendly whenever I am in need/ practicing my skills. They will always provide good feedback and what I have noticed feedback that I never would have thought make such a difference in helping my understanding. So far, I would definitely recommend if you are on the fence of wanting to g to break into data, but nervous. Once I got started there was no looking back. I am enjoying my experience and very excited for what the future holds!

Joining Data Engineer Academy was a great decision

Joining Data Engineer Academy was a great decision for my professional growth. The courses are high quality, straight to the point, and truly designed to elevate real-world data engineering skills. DEA learning ressources are very rich. There are many hands-on exercises that allow to practice and build, not just learn theory.I also had a great coach. Very supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive.Since starting the program, I’ve gained stronger technical confidence and more advanced data engineering skills and I'm not done. I 100% recommend Data Engineer Academy to anyone serious about leveling up as a Data Engineer or Architect.

I decided to change my career to Data Engineering.At first, I doubted whether this was possible at this stage of my career. But when I joined DEA, they provided me with a tailored program to learn the essential skills needed to land a job as a Data Engineer. Since then, with their guidance, I’ve acquired new skills and continue learning every day. If you’re looking to pursue a career in Data Engineering, this program is for you!
