To put it plainly, yes. We require all applicants to be familiar with at least one programming language to apply.

While the programs emphasize Python, many of our applicants have experience with other languages, and have varying degrees of coding experience.

Our applicants usually have a strong background in probability, statistics, and experience with programming, scripting, or statistical packages.

We've had successful applicants with degrees in political science, economics, computer science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and more.

We love our international students! But we don't sponsor visas.

For information about visas, we recommend you talk to an immigration attorney. To the best of our understanding, you can participate in the program if you have a visa that grants work authorization, like H-1B, TN, L-1B visas or F-1 student on Optional Practical Training (OPT) so long as the program is incidental to your status. Or if you have any visa that allows you to be in the country to attend meetings (like a visa status that allows for participation in professional seminars and/or non-academic, short course of study such as the B-1 visitor visa or the Visa Waiver Program).

Please consult an immigration attorney for additional guidance.

You bet your spreadsheets we do!

We proudly offer a small number of full-tuition scholarships.

If you receive one of our full-tuition scholarships, you are agreeing to:

• Make a commitment to participate full time. Scholarship recipients are required to participate in the full-time program, as well as attend occasional evening networking events.
• Leave any current positions of employment. You will interview with our hiring partners during and immediately after the program. Candidates must be ready to start work immediately after completing the program.
• Decline to work with external recruiters while in the program. We require that scholarship recipients' job search efforts are exclusive to our hiring partners during the program and for 3 months after completion.

Great question.

Income sharing is an agreement between you, The Data Incubator, and our partner, Leif. You attend the bootcamp with the understanding that you'll pay back your tuition after you've secured a job and are earning at least $40,000 per year.

This way, you don't have to worry about paying your tuition until after you're working. And we'll provide you with all the support you need to land a role as a data scientist or data analyst.

Income sharing is currently only available to individuals with a US Social Security number.

If you decide to participate in income sharing, your monthly payments will start after you begin your job, and will be based on a percentage of your income.

If you have more questions about income sharing, contact Leif at 646-760-3318, or email them directly at support@leif.org.

Yes! We've partnered with Skills Fund to provide our students with simple, flexible loan options to fit your needs.

Skills Fund offers 3 different loan payment options:

• Deferred Repayment: Make no payments while you attend TDI and for three months after.
• Interest Only Repayment: Make low, interest-only payments while attending TDI and for three months after the program.
• Immediate Repayment: Start paying your loan back one month after your TDI program begins.

To apply, you'll need to meet these requirements:

• You are a US citizen or permanent resident*
• You have an established, healthy credit history and no outstanding educational loan defaults
• You are accepted to and enrolled in TDI's fellowship program

*If you are a non-US citizen or permanent resident, or you have DACA status, you are still eligible to apply with a creditworthy cosigner who is a US citizen or permanent resident.

Absolutely. This program is a great opportunity for you to improve your skills for your current organization. If you need help convincing your boss to pay for your training, use this letter to get started.

To ensure the safety of our faculty, staff, and students, we are currently only offering online options for our Fellowship. We will resume in-person programs when it is safe to do so.

While we can't guarantee that you'll get a job right after completing the program, we'll do our best to help you begin your new career as a data scientist. More than 80% of our graduates are employed within 6 months of completing the program; the odds are definitely in your favor.

TDI isn't your typical bootcamp. We work hard to ensure that we offer the best training from the best instructors, using the latest tools and real-world data so you can feel confident when you step into your new job in data.

• Cohort-style program. Make the transition from academia to the business world, or enhance your data skills while you work with an excited and exceptional peer group. We aim to keep our cohorts intimate, to maximize your interaction with instructors.
• Hands-on experience. All of the projects you complete in the program are designed to give you experience with real data sets while solving real business problems.
• Accessible instructors. Every section has a dedicated data instructor to lead discussions and assist students.
• Mentorship from industry leaders. Learn from alumni and senior data scientists and data analysts while you build your professional network.
• A large network of hiring partners. We work with a number of actively-hiring partner companies each cohort to help find you your dream career - and not just another job.

Our alumni are hard at work as data scientists and data analysts at some of today's leading companies. But you can check out some of our alumni spotlights to learn more about our graduates.

And, if you're admitted to our program, you'll have a chance to speak with some of our alumni during information sessions.

Yes!

We understand that it can be difficult to attend a full-time bootcamp for 8 weeks, which is why we now offer a part-time option that allows you more flexibility.

Our new part-time program lasts for 20 weeks, with courses held in the evenings on specific days.

Check out our Data Science Fellowship and Data Analytics Program pages for more specific details.

The part-time program offers the same training, programs, instructors, and resources as our full-time program, but allows you to work full time while boosting your data career.

You can choose between part-time and full-time on the application when you apply.

Please note - the Data Analytics Program is only available as a part-time program at this time.

We certainly do.

Data Science Essentials is an online, part-time class that provides you with the data skills you need to do more with your data and prepare you for the Fellowship program.

You can learn more about the class here.

As often as you need to. We don't put a cap on the number of candidates you hire from us. And because all of our candidates are successful graduates of our fellowship program, you can rest easy knowing you'll always get a top quality addition to your team.

We offer cohorts every quarter in each city, as well as online.

Once you register as a hiring partner, you'll be set up with our online resume book that includes our current candidates. This allows you to connect with our students and start your search for your next data scientist.

You can also join us for one of our networking events and meet our candidates in a fun, group atmosphere.

Only registered hiring partners have access to our current list of candidates. You can check out our Alumni Resume Book anytime, which features resumes of our recent alumni.

To put it simply, we're not a recruiting firm. We're an organization that trains and places exceptional data scientists and data analysts.

We work with you to understand your specific data hiring needs, and then match you with candidates we've trained ourselves.

And those are the only candidates we'll show you. We only look to place those who have successfully completed our intensive training program and are ready to use their data expertise in the business world for an organization like yours. We can vouch for the quality of every candidate we place - because we've trained them.

Unlike other bootcamps, The Data Incubator is focused on ensuring our students are prepared to hit the ground running when they enter the workforce.

As a key component to our rigorous, intensive, full-time program, our students complete a series of business-focused projects to showcase their mastery of the skills they've learned. Candidates of our Data Science Fellowship also complete a capstone project of their choosing using real-world, public data sets.

You can feel confident that the students who graduate from The Data Incubator have been well trained, and are highly qualified to put their skills to work for you.

Of course! Just talk to your placement representative about upcoming networking events. You do need to register as a hiring partner first, but we can help you with that.
