It's been a great experience! I also enjoy the environment at Noble Desktop. Everyone there has been very friendly and approachable. I hope I get to come back for more classes. Learning Python for Data Science has widened my understanding of all that it is capable of. Thank you.
Colin is an exceptional instructor. He maintained an environment that encourages people to feel comfortable learning and engaging.
Really appreciated being able to get real-time support from the instructor as we worked through problems in class. Since I came in with some prior Python experience, it also helped me think through additional ways I could apply these tools to my day-to-day life, both at home and at work.
The instructor was always available for clarification and explanation, as well as giving us professional advice.
I learned so much in just 3 days and feel more confident in my ability to handle queries at work.
Professor Jaffe made otherwise tedious material interesting and even cool!
A very good class on PostgreSQL. Takes you from the basics to some advanced learning techniques.
My overall experience with the SQL course was very good. I thoroughly enjoyed the engaging content, the instructor's clear and supportive teaching style, and the comfortable pace of the course. It enhanced my confidence and practical skills with SQL. I'd highly recommend it to others.
I learned a ton through this class and am very excited to apply it to my job.
The class is an excellent way for someone who knows nothing about programming to gain foundational knowledge and confidence!
Brian was a fantastic instructor—his use of analogies and emphasis on mastering the fundamentals really helped deepen my understanding of Python. The bootcamp was fast-paced and engaging, perfect for those with a bit of prior experience. The week flew by, and I walked away with both new skills and a solid foundation to build on. Highly recommended!
I had an exceptional learning experience in this class. The instructor's expertise and patience were evident in every session, making complex concepts easy to understand. The materials provided were comprehensive and covered most of the essential topics thoroughly. The support during code execution was invaluable, helping me overcome any challenges I faced. Overall, this class has significantly boosted my confidence and skills. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn Python
Good content and good time management. Exercises were challenging but achievable based on learning. Thank you!
A great class with the best instructor!
Well structured, interactive, and informative. Would recommend this class and instructor to others. Would take other classes with this instructor.
Our instructor was very knowledgeable about the material. Seemed to know the content very well. It applied to what we do, and there was a lot that was new to me, so it opened the door to new possibilities, and I hope to apply much of what I learned in my day-to-day job
Overall, Brian McClain was an instructor who switched back and forth from high-level coding to basic debugging with real-world examples and experience. His examples and step-by-step instructions help me to stay engaged and redirected by pulling me back into the lesson.
The instructor was very knowledgeable and explained code logic with a real-world scenario, which made understanding the concept really easy. Very well defined for a beginner.
I've been programming and learning programming since 1978, and I have to say that this class was a breath of fresh air. It seriously opened my eyes to some new possibilities and answered some questions about Python that I have had for some time. What an outstanding instructor and what a great class!
If you are looking for a challenging and informative learning experience, this class is for you! I enjoyed my experience taking the course, and I would love to take other classes focused on Python if given the chance.
I just completed a week-long Python for Data Science Bootcamp, and it was truly one of the most valuable learning experiences I’ve had. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about teaching. He made complex topics easy to grasp by breaking them into manageable parts and encouraged questions throughout. The hands-on exercises and mini-challenges were especially helpful in reinforcing each concept.
The class content was easy to understand and engaged critical thinking skills when figuring out the challenges. This reinforced learning and using SQL syntax. The instructor explained the concepts in chunks that were easy to digest and execute.
Art is a perfect instructor! His class is very clear and well-structured.
Dan brings great energy to the class and explains things in a way that just makes sense. He keeps the pace steady and makes the material easy to follow without it ever feeling overwhelming. The class content is clear, practical, and easy to follow. It covers exactly what you need without overcomplicating things. Overall, the experience was smooth and straightforward.
The instructor, Colin Jaffe, was pleasant.

In addition to 114 hours of interactive training, you will receive eight 1-on-1 mentoring sessions that can be used for career and job support, including polishing your resume, preparing for interviews, and reviewing best practices for applying to jobs. Note, however, that we don’t provide job placement (i.e. reaching out to companies on your behalf).
The certificate is composed of four classes that teach you four different but complementary skills:
With all of these classes, students will fill all the pre-requisites needed for an entry-level data scientist position.
Noble’s typical class ranges from 8–12 students, but we accept up to 20 students.
The classes will prepare students with all the skills necessary for an entry-level position in data science. Most entry-level jobs are looking for three core technical skills: Python proficiency, SQL proficiency, and proficiencies in Python data science libraries. All of these skills will be taught throughout the classes in the certificate.
SQL is a necessary skill because as a data scientist one must feel comfortable being able to explore a database and how to modify data within it. Our SQL Bootcamp will cover all of the necessary topics a programmer in SQL must know. The class will cover everything from basic database terminology to advanced querying techniques so that you are confident using SQL in your workplace or on your resume.
Students are not required to complete any work outside of class. However, we provide students with bonus materials if they would like extra practice.
Students will leave with proficiencies in both Python and SQL. Additionally, students will be proficient in various Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, BeautifulSoup, and scikit-learn. These libraries will allow students to automate data collection, perform analysis on the data, graph the data, and use this data to create predictive models. In the SQL class, students will learn how to explore, modify and export data from a database and students will also be introduced to foundational concepts like tables, data types, and queries.
Yes, this course is open to beginners. Students must be comfortable using a computer. No other prior knowledge is required.
Yes, this course is eligible for our installment plan or a 12-month financing plan through Climb Credit (no interest or financing fees).
