My previous upload was cut off half way due to some technical issue, my apologies! Here's the full video 😄. This video is merely for information if you are looking for a detailed review of this program, I don't get any kickbacks from the links if you sign up.

[@rrrevered]

Hey Thu, rand here, I am wondering, are you saying that you did this Career Foundry's Data Analytics program yourself? Thank you, Thu Vu!

[@Thuvu5]

​@@rrrevered No I didn't :). Only get access to the program to review it.

[@xinie1996]

Don't understand why some comments are so aggressive. There are lots of people who rely on online school for a career change and I believe this video will still give them idea :)

[@serenetonero]

i will have to give this a try cause its not as expensive as other bootcamps and its even better with the discount. I crave structure and accountability cause i have tried the self study route and have struggled to create portfolio projects

[@romanlukichev4971]

Thanks for posting this reference. I like to follow written text more than video. And I think it's very convenient when my portfolio will be checked by an experienced mentor. So I plan to enroll this course as soon as I save up money to pay for it. And the best part is when somebody knowledgeable is giving the idea what kind of project shall I choose for my portfolio. It's easier than traveling unknown path alone.

[@houssemeddinebenaissa585]

I miss the days where data analytics youtube was more about actually giving a genuine opinion and learning resources rather than mostly, if not only, recommending learning services or books that are willing to sponsor videos, even though they don't necessarily offer the best learning resources and are in some cases totally unrealistic. But hey, if it works for yall, then good for you

[@tybaltmercutio]

Yes, as soon as she mentioned this was a sponsored review I was out.

[@star_7776]

So much money, and most of the time they will do basics that you can learn from free

[@berkkr1439]

Thank you for the detailed review Thu! It will really help many people who are considering this program.

[@Thuvu5]

I'm so glad to hear it was helpful! Thank you for watching 💖

[@connecteilconnekt5625]

It's very interesting, what you told and shown us. I would like to enroll it BUT it's very expensive for me.

[@dilaraminelyagci3572]

Good details Thu! thanks. Would you suggest another way to become full skilled data analyst?

[@TheMISBlog]

Good video Thu, this platform kinda look like Udacity, and I am enrolled into there free course, but to be honest the full price is too much , at least Udacity is some way affordable!! Thanks for the video anyways, I learned about this platform from your video

[@august1402]

thanks. i find it helpfull

[@ljxn]

Read the fine print on the "job guarantee". You have to apply to lots of jobs every week and document your application process as well. One wrong step, one i not dotted or t not crossed and you can kiss any tuition refund goodbye.

[@rogerc23]

And if they don’t refund you what is your recourse anyway? Sue them? Where ?

[@yordanadaskalova]

That is fair, no?

[@randolphpinkle4482]

@@rogerc23 Well, you could make a vlog about not getting a refund. That will make an impact on their profit margin if not a refund.

[@GenevieveWadason-rt3mt]

Thank you fordetail very nice I'm interested to join this

[@gunngunn6763]

Hi.. Request you to share insights on how to det which data points are outliers and which are typo errors. It is assumed that the analyst doesn't have the background knowledge of the data. Is there any way to determine it and handle the same...

[@sonalisrabon]

Hi, can you please share some ideas about how to build portfolio focused on healthcare/ heath insurance ?

[@karenzhou1083]

I am enrolled in their data specialization program. I have finished the Data Immersion module. What is your review of the Data Specialization Program? There are 2 options: Machine Learning and Data Visualization. What is your opinion on that program?

[@quangang106]

Should I dive in Data Field atm?

[@Vimax0208]

Giá hơi cao đối với khu vực châu á chị ơi. Tầm 3000usd là em đăng ký học rồi.

[@user-xd8xv3ns9d]

It's quite amazing that $7K now only buys you online video/text courses (which the creators sell to thousands of students), with a few hours of live mentor presence. I'm old enough to remember the old days where that kinda money allows you to actually have a real teacher.

[@LuxeMindsetVibes]

Are speaking of in-person classes as a “real teacher”?

[@cicadacomputing]

write a book

[@rx2316]

You lost me at job guaranteed

[@autobase16]

Bye....😂

[@ayodeleowolabi3662]

7k? 😂

[@armitramar2188]

It feels like almost every video on this channel is now sponsored. I get it. Everybody needs to pay the bills, but I'm kind of losing trust. I'm uncertain whether this is her real opinion or if she's just trying to convince us to use her affiliate links to make some money.

[@Thuvu5]

I appreciate your concerns, but I should've mentioned in the video that I don't get any commissions from the affiliate links. I tried to give an objective opinion and being transparent with all the details. Losing your trust is the last thing I want to do for this channel!

[@thebrightestawblack9993]

-if you really check around, the whole program is pretty shady, ask the neutral and randomized alumni who graduate from there, check their whole profile and you see the BootCamp doesn't really give much of a press. -many points in video is very generic . . . that every learning platform already have, not to mention this one in particular their lessons description is terribly awful for beginner because you could see the way they simplified lessons. -Job guarantee urg .... read the details carefully, sometimes the career advisor cant really help much, furthermore they will intensionally extent your job searching until you out of their terms so it's going to be your fault not theirs -Good reviews are bias, cherry picking in certain cases so take CareerFoundry with a grant of salt.

[@yordanadaskalova]

Did you do the program?

[@travellinglover5056]

Thanks for valuable information and you are so cute and beautiful medam

[@marisindelft]

Job guarantee is the word. Job is guaranteed with a proper skill in my opinion, weather it is paid course or not. It is pricey.😢

[@vostrovostro8824]

This is sponsored by career foundry , so its not a unbiased video .
