You are the perfect match when you are...

Basic Knowledge

It’s important that you have some analytical aptitude (for example, a knack for mathematics). Experience with tools like Excel or programming languages is definitely a plus.

Academic level

We estimate that you need to have an academic (thinking) level for this training. You do not have to prove this to us with a University diploma; it is also possible that you reached this level through your work experience.

Laptop or computer

We recommend you have Office 365 or 2021 installed, but any version after 2010 should work. We also recommend having a second screen so you can efficiently attend live training sessions while doing lab work on a second screen.

Mentality

You have a growth mindset: you don’t see problems but challenges. You are assertive, communicative and eager to learn. You can handle setbacks and are flexible.

Age

We believe in age diversity, so there is no such thing as too young or too old. Everyone is welcome!

Language

This training takes place in Dutch or English. The study material is always in English. A good command of the English is therefore also important.

What was her experience?

A career switch is a really big step. Techionista Academy was the push I needed to make the transition to the world of Big Data and AI. I can say that I have not regretted it for a minute. Almost immediately after completing the Academy I was able to start working as a Data Scientist. During the Academy you will learn almost everything about working with data (from coding to security and from dashboarding to storage). Working in IT means a lifelong learning, and the Techionista track is a very good place to start
