Immersive Data Science Bootcamp
With a great reputation, best-in-class instructors and US accreditation, our 12-week live online Data Science Bootcamp powered by Metis is designed to give you the skills and connections you need to launch a career in data science. The online format features live instruction, real-time support, and daily interaction with classmates.
“Bottom line: Metis was a great experience from beginning to end. I was part of the first online cohort and it was a seamless experience from interacting with teachers to collaborating with your fellow students and teaching assistants. I think all-in-all this was great value for money but it depends on how focused you are to get the results you want!”

Here’s what you’ll learn at the bootcamp
Metis is the only US-accredited Data Science Bootcamp, which is taught by data scientists with deep industry experience. Our program combines traditional instruction in theory and technique with a project-based approach. Each project is a start-to-finish application of the skills needed to be a well-rounded, competitive practitioner in the data science workforce.
ONLINE PRE-WORK
Online Pre-Work
30 hours minimum of academic pre-work and variable hours to setup.

Frequently asked questions
We know everybody learns differently, and like to highlight that bootcamps aren’t for everyone; Likewise, masters programs or self-study might not be for you either. Aside from the differences in length and costs of a masters program, we’ve seen that most masters programs tend to be more theoretical, while Metis has a higher emphasis on the practical application of data science, getting you ready to re-enter the workforce with all the necessary skills. Similarly, self-study can be great for some, but we’ve learned that many students come to us because of the need for a structured learning environment.
The live online bootcamp is held virtually using Zoom. Instruction will be delivered in real time with live simulcast lectures. Students will interact with their instructors, teaching assistants and classmates using Zoom and Slack. Lectures will take place in the main zoom room, and breakout zoom rooms will be used for live online students to collaborate during pair programming exercises and for 1:1s with their instructors and teaching assistants.
Yes, it requires a full-time commitment Monday to Friday.
The bootcamp costs $17,000.
You will need a strong internet connection, a free Zoom account, and a computer. Your computer needs to run OS X and have at least 4GB RAM, 2GHz, and a 100 GB HD. Alternatively, if you are a Windows user and your computer is fairly powerful, you could run a Linux Virtual Machine inside your normal Windows install. This requires some configuration. We strongly recommend students to use a MAC.
Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are awarded a Data Science Certificate. They will have completed rigorous training in machine learning, programming in multiple languages (Python, Bash, SQL, PySpark), data wrangling, project design, and communication of results for integration in a business environment.
No, a job is not guaranteed. However, we do guarantee to:
Metis’ more than 1,100 global alumni have diverse educational and professional backgrounds. From finance to technology, academia to marketing, and engineering to healthcare.
If you’d like to enhance your math, python, and overall data science skills prior to applying, we’d recommend considering one of our part-time short courses.
