Why this bootcamp
Data teams want builders, not dashboard clickers.
Data engineers who build reliable pipelines and warehouses are scarce and sought-after. This bootcamp gets you there in one intensive track, hands on the data from day one.
01
Build, don't listen
No endless lectures. From week one you build real pipelines: ingest, transform, orchestration. Every week code and review.
02
From source to production
You start at Python and SQL and end with a pipeline that runs, with schedules and monitoring. Including the infra steps tutorials skip.
03
Guidance that gets involved
A dedicated coach who reads your code, gives honest feedback and keeps you sharp. Not a ticketing system, but a person who knows your learning process.

Coaches & alumni
The people behind the programme.
Our coaches build every week themselves. They give honest feedback and keep you sharp. You'll find them across all our programmes: from MBO and HBO to Pro and the bootcamps.
The coolest thing about this programme? Students pick their own direction: frontend, backend, data, AI. My job is mostly sharpening that choice and keeping them challenged.
Ties
MBO Coach · since 2019
The people I coach come from hospitality, healthcare, construction. Six months later they're shipping production code. It's tough, and that's exactly why it works.
Arno
Pro Community Coach · since 2020
I think it matters that you see yourself moving forward week to week. Set goals together, review code, do it again next week. Not magical, but what actually works.
Karen
MBO Coach · since 2023
Our HBO isn't a theory exam. We teach the language, the patterns, the trade-offs. In your first year you're already contributing to real systems. That's the difference.
Bob
MBO & HBO Coach · since 2020
Working professionals come to Pro because they want more than tutorials. Honest feedback, every week. That's what keeps them in, not the videos.
Adem
Pro Community Coach · since 2023
Frequently asked questions
Quick check first?
How long is the bootcamp?
6 to 12 months, at your own pace. Expect 32+ hours per week. Go full throttle and you'll finish sooner; need more time and that room is there.
Is this full-time or alongside a job?
Full-time. At 32+ hours per week it's not combinable with a full-time job. Want to learn part-time alongside work? Look at our Pro courses.
Do I need data or programming experience?
No. You start at Python and SQL. Affinity with numbers and logic matters more than prior knowledge, plus the willingness to push through when something doesn't click.
Is it really 100% remote?
Yes. You follow the bootcamp fully online, wherever you are. But with a dedicated coach and a cohort, so you're not on your own.
What tools will I work with?
The tools data teams use daily: Python, SQL, Airflow, dbt, a cloud warehouse like BigQuery or Snowflake, and streaming with Kafka or Spark.
What is an HBO-recognised certificate worth?
You finish at HBO level with 30 EC. Tangible proof employers recognise and can place, tied to a final project with an end-to-end pipeline.
What does it cost and can I pay in instalments?
The investment is €5,280. You can pay in one go or spread it across 6 instalments of €1,000. We discuss the options in your introduction call.
What happens after I apply?
We schedule a 30-minute introduction call and a short intake assignment. If the bootcamp and you are a fit, we reserve your seat for the next start.
Ready for the switch?
Apply for the Data Engineer bootcamp, or first book a 30-minute introduction call with a study advisor. Prefer to read the brochure first? That's fine too.
