Q.1
How is this course different from other data engineering courses on the internet?
Most courses jump straight into tools without a real-world context. This course is designed for analysts and freshers, combining foundational concepts with hands-on AWS projects that mimic real business scenarios - making the learning both practical and industry-relevant.
Q.2
What datasets will I work with in the course?
You’ll work with simulated real-world datasets such as support ticket logs and OLTP-style transactional data, giving you experience similar to what data engineers handle in real companies.
Q.3
Will there be any updates to this course?
Yes, there will be periodical updates to this course which you can enjoy until your course validity period.
Q.4
What is the validity of this course?
This course has lifetime content validity.
Q.1
I’m a Data Analyst with no experience in cloud. Can I take this course?
Yes! This course is designed with analysts in mind. You’ll start with the basics and gradually move into cloud tools like S3, Glue, Lambda, and Redshift—with step-by-step guidance and practical exercises.
Q.2
Do I need prior experience in Python or SQL?
Basic knowledge of Python and SQL is recommended, but you don’t need to be an expert. The course provides enough context for you to follow along.
Q.3
Is this course useful for freshers aiming to become Data Engineers?
Absolutely. This course is designed to help freshers and analysts transition into data engineering roles by learning core concepts and applying them in cloud-based projects.
Q.1
Will this course guarantee me a job or a promotion?
We believe “job guarantee” is a marketing gimmick ed-tech companies use to increase their sales. Whether a person gets a job or not depends on how well they learn and perform during interviews. It also depends on current job market. Honest, gimmick-free teaching is our core value. Hence, we stay away from “job guarantee” but still many of our students have got job by following taking our courses. Please read job success stories on this website to see names of those people.
