Starting in 2014, Datascope collaborated with Kaplan to create a 12 week, in-person data science bootcamp. I worked with Laurie Skelly to design the Metis Data Science Bootcamp. I also taught the first two cohorts directly while looking to hire new instructors and leaders before we handed the keys to Kaplan.
Right from our very first cohort, we were able to immediately place our alumni in high profile companies, and Metis grew very rapidly to multiple cities. We also ended up hiring two of our amazing Datascope colleagues, Michael Moliterno and Jess Freaner, right after they graduated from Metis.
Course Report, the leading bootcamp evaluation website has awarded Metis Best Data Science Bootcamp for four years in a row.
They also report an average 4.89 out of 5 rating based on 137 student reviews.

Update: Despite the success, acclaim, and the rapid expansion of Metis, the COVID-19 pandemic was not kind to in-person bootcamps, and Metis had to eventually shut down like many of its competitors.
