Fantastic and supportive apprenticeship provider

I completed my Digital Accessibility Apprenticeship with a Distinction, was supported completely by the staff throughout the entire journey who were understanding and mindful of my access needs as an autistic person. I was made redundant little over halfway through my apprenticeship but the support provided was a massive help. All PB staff are friendly, approachable and committed to your experience as an apprentice, couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you Purple Beard!

A Stellar Learning Experience at Purple Beard
I recently completed the Data Analysis with SQL and Power BI course at Purple Beard Ltd, and I must say it was an exceptional journey. Led by the knowledgeable instructor, Adi, the course covered essential topics in depth. Adi’s patient guidance helped me grasp complex concepts, and the 1:1 sessions were invaluable for my project work.

The team at Purple Beard goes beyond the classroom. John’s employability sessions prepared us for real-world job applications, and the supportive staff worked tirelessly behind the scenes. The only minor hiccup was the impact of bank holidays on class time, but overall, it’s been a fantastic course.

If you’re looking to enhance your tech skills, Purple Beard is the place to be. Their commitment to student success shines through, and I’m confident in my newfound abilities as a data analyst. 🚀

It's free.

The material felt like it was a recycled draft from some mediocre paid training, put together quickly to grab the funding. Not really made for the UK market either.

Lots of time wasted and a lot of brief glaces around very important topics.
Some tutors great, some were late, tired, unattentive.

Very enriching and indepth training from my instructor for Business Analysis Nivedita Roberts. She displaced vast knowledge of the subject matters. There also exist weekly Employability training where CVs and interview prep are discussed. I would say this programme is 100% complete package

Data Analysis course

I am enrolled on the Data Analysis with SQL and PowerBI and have really enjoyed my experience so far. Paul is very knowledgeable and patiently guides us through topics that are new to many in the class. I have received a 1:1 session with Paul which really helped with a project I am working on and we receive assignments or projects each week to do outside of classes which are really helpful.

There are also employability sessions run by John that prepare us for applying for jobs in the data analysis sector which are really useful.

The only downside is the bank holidays which have eaten into the classes a bit. 3 BH mean that we have lost almost a week of lectures which has meant that some topics seem a bit rushed as all the work has to be squeezed into the same 11 week time period.
Overall a great course with a great teacher and a very supportive team working in the background.

Great time on the data analysis with SQL and PowerBi bootcamp

I enrolled in the Data Analysis with SQL and Power BI Bootcamp with Purple Beard because I wanted a career change from research to data analysis. I am extremely happy with the experience so far.

The bootcamp covers a lot of material in a short time (11 weeks) but it’s accessible and this is thanks to the trainer, Paul Nnakwe. He is professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. He takes time to explain the concepts and applications using real-world examples. He offers extra revision sessions and office hours during the week for anyone who needs additional support or looking to go above and beyond what is expected.

I appreciate the weekly class assignments and the projects which we have at the end of each topic (Excel, SQL, PowerBI & final capstone). It’s exposing me to data I wouldn’t normally have interacted with and we have been shown how to set up our own portfolios to showcase this work.

Purple Beard has an employability team to help us with the overall goal of ~finding a job~. We have weekly employability sessions with John which so far have covered subjects like writing a cv/ cover letter and how to pimp up your Linkedin page. John specifically has been really helpful on my journey of finding a job. He has commented on my CV and helps me edit my cover letters before submission.

During this bootcamp, I have had 3 initial calls and been invited to 2 second-stage interviews. The material and coaching have made me comfortable talking about data and more confident in these interviews. Both Paul and John have been instrumental in this.

The only downside has been the 3 bank holidays (!!) that have occurred during this bootcamp meaning occasionally material has been rushed or we’ve had to vote on whether to have class on the holiday.

I highly recommend this Data Analysis with SQL and Power BI Bootcamp with Purple Beard. Thank you to the whole team.

I highly recommend Purple Beard.

I recently enrolled on the Data Analysis with SQL and Power BI BootCamp with Purple Beard. Thus far, they have exceeded all my expectations! The BootCamp provides a comprehensive and hands-on learning experience, that has transformed my skills.

The curriculum is well-structured and covers a wide range of topics; taking you from basic knowledge, and helping you build up your confidence with its lessons to work in the field in only 11 weeks.

The trainer, Paul, is amazing! He is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about the subject matter; all while continuing to be professional. He takes the time to ensure that every concept is explained and demonstrated clearly; making complex topics accessible and easy for beginners to understand.

Paul takes the time to confirm that everyone understands what he has taught before moving on to the next concept. He offers extra sessions and one-to-one sessions for anyone who needs additional support, or for those who need to go over any topics that are taught during the week.

The weekly assignments are a great way to solidify what you have learnt, and the hands-on exercises, plus group activities allow me to practice and refine my skills in a supportive and collaborative environment.

The Employability team, John & Fariha, are incredible. They are always available, ready to answer questions and provide support as well as guidance on employment.

Lastly, Purple Beard provided ample resources and support throughout the learning journey: including Mental Health & Wellbeing support.

I highly recommend the Data Analysis with SQL and Power BI BootCamp with Purple Beard. Whether you are a beginner looking to break into the field of data analysis, or a seasoned professional seeking to enhance your skills; this BootCamp with Purple Beard is a game-changer. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity, and I am excited to apply what I have learned to propel my career forward.

Thank you so much Purple Beard Team, a special thank you to Paul and John.
