Due to the course, the promotion quickly became a reality for me
The Data Science bootcamp has propelled me significantly in a short amount of time. Even during the course, an opportunity arose within the organization to advance to a role as a Data Scientist at an international level. Thanks to the newly acquired knowledge from the bootcamp, I was able to distinguish myself strongly, and the promotion quickly became a reality for me. The course itself was very enjoyable; the intensive interaction with fellow participants and hands-on homework assignments made it highly educational as well. I highly recommend it to anyone considering a career switch to Data Analytics / Data Science.

This course is perfectly accessible even without prior knowledge of data
In a short time, I was taken through the basics of Machine Learning and introduced to the various aspects and terms within Data Science. This was done in a clear and engaging manner and supplemented with clear assignments that could be done as homework. This course is perfectly accessible even without prior knowledge of data science and machine learning.

Embracing AI makes my skills as a designer even more extensive
As a graphic designer, I notice that AI is going to play an increasingly large role within my field. Taking a course at Amsterdam Data Academy has given me a different perspective. Instead of a threat, I now see it much more as an opportunity. Thanks for putting on a different pair of glasses.

Questions
Is this the same as the SLIM subsidy for employers?
No. The SLIM subsidy for employers (SLIM mkb) is meant for a development plan within a company. The SLIM training subsidy pays for the course itself, for courses in a recognised development path. For employers we have a separate page.
What does it cost me?
Expected to be nothing: the course has to be free for the participant. We'll confirm this per programme once the scheme is open to us.
When can I start?
The first start groups begin from April. If you're on the waiting list, you're the first to hear the start dates.
What if I don't qualify?
Then we look at other routes: UWV, your employer, a regional voucher or paying in instalments. See the financing options.
