Launching in 2025
The Data Engineering Bootcamp is a full time course, lasting 12 weeks, that will immerse you in the foundations of modern data engineering and AI.
You’ll learn about data storage and processing, cloud technologies, AI-enhanced techniques and many more data engineering practices and principles.
We’ll be launching this course in January 2025:
Intermediate - This course is not suitable for beginners - you’ll need some experience of software engineering - perhaps you’ve done a software or web development bootcamp, a compsci degree, or you’ve worked in the industry for a year or so.

What will I learn?
The Makers Bootcamp is designed to prepare you to be successful in a wide range of tech careers, including Data Modeller, AI Engineer, Data Engineer, Data Architect, ESG Data Analyst, Risk Data Analyst, Machine Learning Engineer.
The focus of the Makers training is how to do well in your new career, not just learn how to write code. You’ll learn how to teach yourself new things really fast, with the help of our self-directed learning style.
By the end of the course you should be able to:
- Master the data lifecycle, with a focus on storage and processing.
- Design, implement and maintain secure data storage, and batch/stream processing pipelines.
- Manage and Monitor data pipelines for efficiency and reliability.
- Be proficient in modern Cloud Technologies.

-
Self-led learning
At Makers, your goal is to learn how to teach yourself. You'll practise this skill, with our support, to get really good at it.
Self-led learning is the most useful skill in a career in tech, which changes so fast. You'll face new challenges every day and have to solve them yourself - there won't always be someone there to tell you how to do it.
-
Learning in a team
In your career in tech you'll work with other people to write software to solve problems. So, learning how to work with other people is as important as learning how to write code.
At Makers, you'll spend a lot of time working in pairs and project teams. You'll also take part in our Emotional Intelligence curriculum, honing your soft skills.
-
Learning with experts
Learning how to get the most out of your time with experts is another essential workplace skill.
The Makers coaches are there to help you - they're the experts in the room - but it’s better when you try solving problems on your own first. If you're still stuck, then the coaches will be happy to help you get unstuck, but you should try your best to solve it yourself first, just like in the real world.
