FinTech Bootcamps Reviews & Testimonials

The instructor had great humor, was very friendly, and was good at explaining things. I had a great time in Colin's class!

The SQL bootcamp was amazing! Dan taught everything in a very concise manner, and the content was easy to digest and understand. I feel very confident in my personal abilities when it comes to using SQL, thanks to Dan!

Python for DS taught by Brian is a good use of one's time. Brian is capable of explaining and clarifying things for students and is motivating and encouraging.

It's a lot of info but the instructor was very good!

Class content and materials were excellent. Brian is hands down one of the best instructors at Noble Desktop - a rare combo of both excellent technical expertise and the ability to communicate it in layman's terms. His expertise & teaching style made the course both enjoyable and effective. He explained complex concepts clearly and made the material accessible, even for those of us who were new to programming or data science. He encouraged questions & fostered a collaborative atmosphere that made the learning process enjoyable.

This course was well-structured, with clear, step-by-step explanations provided through interactive notebooks. Watching Mr. McClain code in real time and explain each concept made it easy to grasp even complex topics. What I appreciated most was the practical approach rather than just the theory. We worked on real coding examples. Mr. McClain was willing to clarify doubts and was very knowledgeable.

Awesome hands-on learning experience. I loved being able to follow along in Google Colab, make mistakes, and try to figure them out, but also having the ability to get help as needed. Even as an experienced programmer in other languages, I found this very helpful due to the subtle syntax differences with Python. Will definitely take another class in the future!

The course content was amazing and communicated clearly.

I really enjoyed the class, it's a very good intro-level Python class. I think the instructor was very knowledgeable and engaging, and I plan to take more in the future.

The overall experience was very good. I loved that we spent a lot of time on Python fundamental data structures such as lists, dictionaries, etc. We did a lot of exercises. It was very important to me to understand these concepts well rather than just jumping to pandas. Brian is a great instructor. He explains the fundamentals very thoroughly, not just stating the rules but explaining the logic and examples and giving interesting and funny analogies. I have tried several bootcamps, and I know how most of the bootcamp teachers skip the fundamentals and logic by just stating the rules and covering huge materials in a super speedy way. The amount of knowledge understood and retained in this way is so little. With Brian it is different, he tackles the basis thoroughly, and takes time to explain important concepts in various ways. So, he approaches the course from a pedagogical point of view rather than just covering material.

The class was fast-paced, but that's what you'd expect from a bootcamp. Overall, it was a lot of information, but it was really good information. I think the tools, "handouts," etc, that we took away from the course will really help set me up foundationally for some novice Python-ing. I would say 95% of this course was applicable to my role or my future job responsibilities. Brian's flexibility in taking our questions and curiosity to then turn them into a teaching moment was very helpful and made the content even more applicable. He really took the time to make sure we were able to build from one concept to another.

It was affordable and informative. The class content was very comprehensive and easy to understand and follow. The content was interesting as well and was a good introduction to Python. I will be returning for future courses.

Well worth the investment. Terrific introduction to Python.

My overall experience was a 10+. As a rusty data scientist, I am absolutely amazed at how fast this course refreshed my knowledge and gave me a deeper understanding of the concepts! I am very happy to have enrolled in this course!

If you want a place to get a great introduction to data analytics and computer programming, I would highly recommend the Noble Desktop program. These professors care about your success.

Just what you'd hope to expect from a SQL bootcamp: a great instructor covering all concepts to adequately teach the SQL computer language!

I taught myself SQL 20+ years ago. I still have the book I bought as my bible. I took this class as a refresher and realized there were a few things I didn't teach myself. I wish I took this class 20+ years ago and DEFINITELY recommend it to anyone wanting to learn SQL. I will add this to my "bible" of resources going forward. AWESOME JOB!!

The classes were easy to understand for a non-native English speaker, and Dan was awesome. He is a great instructor.

This class is really helpful in learning more about SQL. The instructor was very helpful in explaining the tasks and subjects.

This was a great class. I took this as an online class, but it was just like being in the classroom. It's a lot of material to cover in only 18 hours, but it's nice to have all of the instruction slides & files as a way to reference the topics.

I learned SO much from this class. I loved the curriculum, the demo, and the hands-on practice. I plan to take more online courses now that I’ve experienced the in-person class.

Noble Desktop (where I took the Python for Data Science Bootcamp) provides very well-planned classes with easy-to-access content to make the experience more interactive. It's a no-brainer to sign on with them.

I really enjoyed learning under Art. He has a nice style of using repetition, dialogue, and class participation. During the class, I never felt embarrassed to ask a question or say I did not understand something.

This course provided a strong foundation in using Python for Data Science, which has enabled me to create my own tools to consolidate and track artist data, finding anomalies and growth trends early. Building upon my experience in Radio, A&R analytics and E-commerce I look forward to continuing to optimize methods of discovery and artist development. I’m genuinely excited to keep building on this momentum as there’s so much potential in using data to tell meaningful stories, especially in industries like music and entertainment.

I knew very little about SQL and walked away with more confidence. I'm excited to go back and practice what I learned.

Jeannette Howell is an exceptionally knowledgeable instructor. I had her for SQL and other classes in the Data Analytics track. She brings real-world knowledge directly from the workplace. I highly recommend you seek out classes with Jeannette - I am so very impressed with her knowledge and patience.

I would suggest this course to anyone wanting to learn SQL well enough to use on a day-to-day basis in a reasonably short amount of time.

The overall experience was great. The class content was new and refreshing. It was a great refresher with Python, and I look forward to more classes with Brian as my instructor. He possesses deep knowledge of many different topics. I've rarely ever seen anyone so dedicated.

Brian is an awesome instructor. He made the material easy to understand for a person who has zero experience with programming. The class was exactly what I was looking for.

I think anyone with an interest in learning Python as a new skill would benefit from Noble Desktop's bootcamps, especially with the option to retake them. I feel very positive about what I've learned and look forward to continue developing my skills in the field.

After 18 short hours, I can now comfortably navigate my company's database and effectively use SQL to find the data that I need. This will be a big boost to my career. Thank you, Dan and company!

This class makes Python very simple. Art answers all your questions and helps in every way. Highly recommended!

This was exactly what I was looking for. I have already done some programming in Python but wanted hands-on on practice covering the basics to lay a better foundation. I got this and more.

Great course & instructor. He's very easy-going and relatable. Was able to show basic concepts while comparing them to what might happen in "real life." Very helpful for what I needed to help accelerate my SQL learning. Thanks!

A solid foundation for SQL. The instructor is wonderful and very experienced in the field.

The class is thoughtfully structured, encompassing both theory and practical homework assignments. I found it easy to follow the course content and the provided materials. I was happy to have Jeanette as my SQL instructor and found that I could easily relate to the practical examples she used in the class.

My overall experience was great. Even though I had some basic understanding of SQL, I still learned a ton, consolidating my base knowledge and gaining more advanced knowledge. For anyone curious about SQL but also people who already have some knowledge of it, this course will give you a better understanding of how to use SQL in a more practical and applied manner. It walks through the basics and goes all the way to advanced concepts without leaving any students behind.

Brian made this class very interesting and enjoyable. I really appreciate him putting in extra time to help my coworkers and myself with questions that we had.

Python is a 'must' language to learn. This class gave me a good start to go back and work on my modernization project where I will be using Python.

Dan made this class really enjoyable. The class material was well-structured. We covered a lot, but everyone was able to follow.

Dan made the SQL class easy to understand.

I liked how this course was taught. Dan is an excellent teacher and explains everything very clearly. It was very logical, and the material progressed nicely. I also liked the use of slides.

Excellent instructor. He has a great way of presenting the materials and is really clear, systematic, and patient with questions. Very knowledgeable and passionate about the topics. I had a really great experience.

It's my first time attending a bootcamp and I really enjoyed it. Having learned Python by myself, I was not sure if I'd learn new things in this bootcamp. Still, I was pleasantly surprised that I learned quite a lot, from small but fundamental concepts (importance of returning values, structure of Pandas, etc.) to more elaborate ones (structure of functions and loops, lambda functions, etc.). It helped me consolidate the basics, fill in the gaps in my overall understanding of Python, and make me more confident in using it. Moreover, Brian is a great instructor, conveying all these concepts in an interesting and easily understandable way!

Instructor Brian is amazing and very knowledgeable. He makes sure everyone understands something before moving to the next subject. For someone who doesn't have experience, this 5 days of content is good enough to learn how to code with Python for data science. Thank you, Professor Brian, for your excellence!

The class has eye-opening lessons that gave me a strong foundation to build my skills and pursue work using Python. The instructor is very knowledgeable and gave great tips for planning to launch careers where Python is heavily used.

This was an intense class for me as I have no coding experience, but I felt that I learned a great deal. The teacher was friendly and professional. I find him to be very inclusive, and I enjoyed his class.

The class is a springboard to be used towards progressing to that "next step," so practice is required. Dan knows his stuff...great to learn from somebody that's all about the business.

This class went over all the basics of Python. The experience was great. I learned a lot from the class and plan on using these materials in the future.

Art is amazing and very knowledgeable in Python. He helps you understand what you are learning and gives you a lot of different exercises to work on. He is very patient with walking you through everything, especially if you have a problem or are not fully understanding.
