About these reviews
Reviews are shown as their authors wrote them. The company can reply, but cannot edit them.
The score is the plain average of the published reviews on this page.
The mock interviews (sql and python) were very insightful, revealing my strengths/weaknesses. The tutorials were helpful too, but after some time, they felt more like nudging only, as I needed to read product documentation outside DEA for more in-depth understanding. Relevant in-depth coaching would be ideal, but I'll manage researching as needed; it's more stressful, but it'll make me resilient.

Thank you for the honest and balanced feedback, Roberto. We are glad the mock interviews and tutorials helped surface strengths and gaps. Your resilience and willingness to research deeper will serve you very well moving forward.

Before joining DEA academy I was…
Before joining DEA academy I was researching job positions in the general programming field and settled on data engineering due to the ease of learning SQL and the rise in AI data farms. I'd taken a coding boot camp in the past and figured DEA academy would be a fun learning experience. DEA academy has a structered blueprint tailored to each student, which I appreciate. I can literally go down the check list of items and use slack to ask for help with any issues I'm facing. Since joining I'm getting an understanding of SQL and how to tailor my resume to begin the application process.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad the structured blueprint, checklist approach, and Slack support have helped you build SQL skills and move toward applications.

Scam do not pay thousands for this scam program!!
If you have zero experience in tech do not listen to them, they will set you up to fail. Do not say 10k and above for education from a business that's not even accredited. They will take your money and do whatever they want whether you finish their program or not. All the videos are free on YouTube. They will tell you that you'll get a coach, and after meeting 3x they'll tell you didnt pay enough to keep meeting with a coach eventhough I pay 10K for the program. They target people who are desperate for change and there's no way out. I will not recommend. Enroll in a actual university, go with a programm thats actually accredited.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that you are feeling upset.
We take all reviews seriously and attempted to locate your account so we could reach out privately and resolve this directly. Unfortunately, we do not have any registered student under the name used in this review, which makes it difficult to investigate your experience further.
We would like to clarify several points, as this review contains a number of factual inaccuracies.
First, Data Engineer Academy has successfully helped many students with no prior tech experience transition into strong technical roles. This outcome depends on active participation and following the guidance provided throughout the program.
Second, the claim that our program content is freely available online is incorrect. Our paid curriculum is proprietary and not available on YouTube. Any public videos are separate and do not reflect the depth or structure of our program.
Third, coaching sessions are not limited to three meetings. Students who enroll receive access to coaching and support as outlined in their contract for the full duration of their program, which is one year. Once enrolled, all deliverables included in the contract are available during that period. Additional payment is only applicable if a student chooses to extend beyond their contracted term.
Finally, our pricing, terms, and expectations are clearly communicated before enrollment, and students are never asked to pay more to receive services already included in their agreement.
We fully respect that our program may not be the right fit for everyone. However, we do take issue with statements that misrepresent our services and policies.
If you believe this review was posted in error or under a different name, we invite you to contact us directly so we can assist you properly. Our team is always open to resolving concerns in good faith.
Wishing you the best moving forward.

I had a very poor experience with Data…
I had a very poor experience with Data Engineering Academy. Despite repeatedly asking them not to charge my credit card, they continued billing me without my approval. I also stopped using the platform entirely because the content was not helpful and largely self-study-based.
I did not receive any meaningful job support or value for the money. I would strongly advise others to be very cautious before enrolling.
Response from Data Engineer Academy· Jan 18, 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to hear that you feel disappointed, and we would like to clarify a few important points for accuracy and transparency.
Regarding billing, your program is a fixed price contract with a monthly payment plan, not a subscription. As outlined in the agreement you signed, payments are due for the full program amount regardless of usage. Despite this, when you contacted us about financial difficulties, we made an exception and paused your payments for two months as a goodwill gesture. This pause was explicitly agreed upon by both sides, including the date when payments would resume. Charges continued afterward exactly as agreed and in line with the contract.
On the structure of the program, while some learning materials are designed for independent study, your package includes extensive live instruction, regular group sessions, and one on one support with instructors and your Customer Success Manager. These services remain available throughout the learning phase and are actively used by many students who progress through their personalized plans.
Job search support is provided after a student completes the required upskilling milestones. At the time you paused your participation, you had not yet reached the stage of the program where job support begins, which requires consistent progress through the technical curriculum. This sequence is clearly communicated at enrollment and is essential to ensuring strong outcomes.
We always aim to be fair, supportive, and flexible where possible, while also honoring the commitments set out in our agreements. We regret that this experience did not meet your expectations and wish you the best in your future endeavors.
If you would like to discuss this further, our team remains available through the official support channels.

Important to Clarify Terms Upfront
Update:
After posting my original review, the owner reached out to me to clarify expectation and addressed concerns that I had. Now we have clear written alignment around full access, continued support, and next steps. Under those clarified terms I'm moving forward in the program. I appreciate the effort to resolve the issue and in good faith we can move forward constructively.
I enrolled in Data Engineer academy in December and made consistent efforts to stay engage. I was told multiple times via Slack that I had “lifetime access,” no need to extend, and more than just until the end of the year. Later I was told Different 1/8/2026 I would need to pay additional money to renew and that access was actually limited. There were also scheduling issues with mock interviews and calls being canceled or rescheduled due to staff availability and my personal availability time. which made progress harder despite my attempts to rebook and stay engaged. Overall, the experience suffered from unclear expectations.

Scammers Academy
Worst experience ever. I paid for the course but still cannot access it. I contacted the support team multiple times, but the email address doesn’t work properly. my emails keep going to spam, and I’m unable to get any verification or real help. The replies I receive look like automated or scam messages with no proper resolution. This feels completely unprofessional and misleading. I would not recommend this course to anyone.
