## Summary

Dhaval Patel announces the launch of CodeBasics' Data Engineering Bootcamp, detailing its pricing, curriculum, and job-assistance features. The video explains how the course differs from typical pre-recorded bootcamps through live problem-solving, Discord support, practice rooms, and a virtual internship.

### Key Points

- **Bootcamp launch and website** [00:02] — The data engineering bootcamp is ready, built on industry experience and input from working data engineers; details are available at codebasics.io.
- **Refund policy and pricing credit** [00:30] — A 30-day no-questions-asked full refund is offered. Students who already own constituent courses (e.g., SQL, Python) get that amount deducted from the bootcamp price.
- **Current subsidized pricing** [01:41] — Until December 1, the price is ₹9,000 (subsidized from ₹12,000); it rises to ₹12,000 once remaining modules are added. International pricing is $200 for higher-income countries and $126 for lower-income countries.
- **Three bootcamp evaluation criteria** [03:33] — The presenter suggests judging any bootcamp on industry relevance, teaching quality, and affordability.
- **Instructor credibility** [04:01] — Dhaval Patel shares 15+ years at Bloomberg and Nvidia and current work at Lik Technologies; co-instructor Hamman Vadivel was a data analytics manager at Edgewell in Germany.
- **Community-driven features** [06:29] — Beyond pre-recorded videos, the bootcamp includes live Discord support, practice rooms, and bi-weekly live problem-solving sessions with industry experts (roughly 26 sessions over a year).
- **Curriculum roadmap** [07:41] — The journey starts with SQL and Python, then online credibility, data engineering foundations (data modeling, Snowflake, dimension modeling), ETL with AWS (S3, Glue, Lambda, Redshift), Spark, Databricks, and an end-to-end project using Unity Catalog, Medallion architecture, and ADLS.
- **Job readiness features** [12:35] — A job application module, interview preparation, and a virtual internship from Edvick Technologies simulate real company work, with manager calls, weekly tasks, and quality checks.
- **Job assistance portal** [13:44] — The portal includes a job assistance form, ATS resume builder, automatic portfolio website with intro video and GitHub links, curated job openings, manual resume/LinkedIn review, and a LinkedIn optimizer.
- **Discord community and live sessions** [18:47] — Topic-specific Discord channels (Spark, Airflow, foundations) provide quick help from team members and peers. Live problem-solving sessions were launched after a 750-person learner survey.
- **Anti-piracy warning** [20:50] — Piracy threatens the business model and sustainability of the low-priced course; the presenter notes that pirated versions lack the community and career-support features that make students job-ready.

### Conclusion

The video presents CodeBasics' new data engineering bootcamp as an affordable, industry-relevant, community-driven alternative to typical online courses, emphasizing job readiness through live support, practice rooms, and career assistance — while urging learners to do their own research.

## Transcript

requested and yes, finally the data engineering boot camp is ready. It is built based on our own industry experience and by consulting with data engineers who are working in the industry right now. Stay with this video
if you want to know more about this boot camp. Go to our website codebasics.io, scroll down and here you will see our data engineering boot camp. You can click on explore and you will see this home page. Now we have 30 days no
questions asked refund policy. So after buying this boot camp due to whatever if you feel like this is not the right thing for you we will refund you all of your money, full refund, no questions asked.
Also, if you have taken any of our courses which are part of this boot camp. So if you look at the curriculum here, for example, SQL, Python, these are the existing courses which are part of this boot camp.
So let's say the current price is 9,000 rupees, right? And if the SQL course is, let's assume, is 1,000 rupees, you have already paid 1,000 rupees on our Then we'll subtract that. So you will pay for this boot camp 9,000 minus
1,000, which is 8,000 rupees. The other thing I want to mention is some of the modules are going to be added later on. So if
you look at the curriculum here we have this flow, right? And here for example, Kafka is something that we have not added yet. But we'll be adding it in next few days. So till December 1st, the price will be
And we are giving a subsidy actually. So the actual price is 12,000, but after subsidy you're getting 9,000 and we are doing this because you are not given
access to all the modules yet. These modules, right? Some of the modules. For example, if you go here some of the modules are going to be example. So
these modules, when they are added on December 1st, the price will increase to 12,000. Okay? So if you buy right now, it is 9,000. If you buy on December 1st or later on
when these modules are added at that time the price will increase to 12,000. Now this is not something like a early bird offer, etc. This is just a way gesture to those learners who are patiently waiting while we add
those remaining modules. Now folks, here you will see some of the reviews from our existing modules, okay? So you can look through them. These are 100% look through them. These are 100% genuine. Even if you go to view all,
we are also providing you the LinkedIn profile of these people. So when you click on it and talk to these people these are real reviews, okay? Not even a single review here is fake because I know many at tech companies do that. We
do not do it. These reviews are 100% genuine. 9,000 is a price in India. In countries with higher income, it will be $200. In countries with lower income, it will be $126.
be $126. But as I said, this price is valid till 1st December and by 1st December we would have added all our modules. At that time the price will will increase to 12,000. There are so many boot camps
out there. What makes this boot camp different than others? So give me a few minutes to explain this. If you want to know if any boot camp or course is based on few criterias. The first one is, is it industry relevant?
Do they know how to teach, the teachers? Do they know how to teach? And is it affordable? So in our case this boot camp is totally industry relevant. I have my own company at Lik Technologies where we work on client
projects. We have AI, data engineering projects and some of the experiences of that project work is taken into account while building this boot camp. I also work with big tech companies like Bloomberg and Nvidia for
many years, for more than 15 years. I have this experience working with big tech companies, especially at Bloomberg, which is a world's biggest finance and which is a world's biggest finance and data analytics company. I was involved
in many large scale data projects. I was part of a group called Data Technologies. And I have experience working on these large scale projects. Also, the co-instructor Hamman Vadivel has extensive experience in data. So he
worked with this company called Edgewell and there he was a data analytics manager. Okay, so this was in Germany and you can also take a look at our reviews. I already
mentioned that these reviews are 100% genuine. We also provide a LinkedIn profile of the person who posted that review. So feel free to even have a conversation with those folks. We don't post any fake reviews on our
website. Now the second point is, do they know how to teach? Well, we have this website CodeBasics. We have 1.4 million subscribers and if you look at any of the videos, just read the comments. You will get an idea that
people love CodeBasics for its simple relevant teaching. Then we also incorporate some of the cinematic experiences to make the
learning effective, okay? So we give you this movie-like experience where you are literally in a corporate meeting room and you get this experience, simulated experience, as if you are part of that corporate
environment, okay? So not only it will make it the learning engaging, but at the same time you will get understanding on some of the nuances around the stakeholder management, communication things like that, all right? Because
see, the problem with online courses nowadays is that people buy courses from online portals and they rarely finish it. To address that, we have added cinematic experiences. Now is it affordable? If you look at the content,
we have extensive content along with practice rooms and live problem solving. So this is not like Udemy course where you are just getting pre-recorded videos, okay? We do have pre-recorded videos that you will watch, but other
than that, we have live Discord chat support where you can post any question and it will be answered. Every 2 weeks you will get live problem Every 2 weeks you will get live problem solving sessions and this is valid for 1
year, okay? There are 52 weeks, so you will get around 26 live problem solving sessions and these will be done by the industry experts. So they will come on Zoom, there will be live webinar where you will be solving complex data
engineering problems, okay? So that will make it different than just watching simple videos in a self-paced mode. It's a live session. And there is also a practice room where you'll be able to go on our website and practice those
scenarios. Now let me go over the boot camp syllabus quickly. Here you will see the major highlights. So take your time to read it and this picture represents the major milestones. So you start your journey with SQL and Python. These are
the most essential components of your data engineering journey and once you have those fundamentals clear we'll teach you online credibility. Now important to showcase your skills and your work to the online world, okay? So
this module has helped many people get job in our boot camps, okay? So this is extremely important. We then go through data engineering foundations and data engineering foundation, see, if you look
want to look at the content or individual lectures, you can foundations. So here we cover all those concepts, data modeling, Snowflake, dimension modeling, etc. And by the way, this boot
camp introduction module is extremely important. So watch it. Here we have all the free videos. So even without buying the boot camp, you can watch all of these videos and these will answer most of your questions.
So we have things like, okay, how do you know if data engineering role is know if data engineering role is suitable for me or not? And in this we have provided a survey that will help you figure out if this role is suitable
for you or not. So survey looks something like this. You will answer a bunch of questions and these questions will figure out your natural inclination towards data engineering skills. It will test some of your
existing skills and so on. It's just a 15 questions, folks. And by answering these questions, it will tell you what kind of matching score you have for data engineering career, okay? You also get live Discord support, all of that, so
that information is provided here. And after the data engineering foundation, after the data engineering foundation, you work on ETL with AWS you work on ETL with AWS and there, if you look at it
you cover the concepts, okay? You basically cover the concepts by going over this project where we are having data in S3 and then we are having data in S3 and then you will use AWS Glue, Lambda
you will use AWS Glue, Lambda different features of AWS for doing data warehousing. For data warehouse we use a Redshift, okay? And we will build up our BI dashboard. After that, you go through data engineering foundation two, where
modeling, changing dimension data modeling, and so on. Then comes Spark. Okay, so this is the Spark module. After Spark, we look at the Databricks.
So, Databricks is a cloud platform built on top of Spark. So, we'll go over that. And then there will be a project for Spark, okay? So, see, after the Spark lectures and then this is the project. Now, the
project is very industry relevant, okay? We are building a solution data engineering pipeline end to end, and we go over like technical architecture of this project, where we are using Databricks, Unity Catalog, Medallion
architecture, ADLS, and so on. We also go through a scope of work statement, you know, like in the project, there will be some components to project
management, such as creating a scope of work, working on the project in phases, your deliverables, etc. So, you're not just learning technical skills, you are getting a simulated experience as if you're working in a real company,
mentioned already, we have many cinematic uh videos throughout these projects to make the experience very engaging. So, videos. Hey, Darrel, what's happening, man? All good?
Low-key, all good, bro. Tell me, what should I focus on? Uh you probably know I have just started my career as a data engineer. We also have these practice engineer. We also have these practice rooms. For example, SQL practice room.
When you go to here, you will be able to practice the questions live. So, here you are shown a question, okay? There is a table, etc. And you write the query. Whatever is your query, you run the code. You're
also provided a solution, so you can verify your solution with the solution, which is out there here. Then let me show you the practice room for Python, too. So, here, go to Netflix scenario question.
So, here we are giving you a problem statement. You download files. You work on fixing that problem in your Python environment. And then you
will do quality checks, okay? So, you'll you'll put your answer and you'll verify practice rooms. See, Spark and Databricks, Snowflake, Airflow, etc. To make you job ready, we have job application module, interview
preparation module, virtual internship module. So, you can just explore all of this. And this way, see, if you look at this journey, you are learning technical skills, in between you're learning soft skills, online credibility, etc. You are
practicing the complex scenarios, you're having this live problem-solving having this live problem-solving sessions with uh experts on Zoom. Then uh go to this job application section, interview prep section, virtual
interview prep section, virtual internship. And then at the end, uh if you have sincerely followed all the steps, you'll be truly job ready and uh you can start applying and hopefully you can get a job as a result of your hard
work. When I'm recording this video, some of these modules are not ready yet, they're coming soon. But you have enough content to cover. So, in the next few days, we will start adding all these modules, okay? In job application
module, you will see a bunch of videos, which will help you with the job. And then when you click on smart job assistance, you will go to this J app, assistance, you will go to this J app, okay? Job assistance portal. Now, here
you can fill out job assistance form, so you can specify your your location, your you know, what kind of jobs you're looking for. So, this way we know your criteria and we can help you with the jobs. Then you can build your resume.
information, right? Like your name, email, city, whatever. And as you add this information on the right-hand side, the resume will build automatically.
Now, this is ATS resume and you will have a good chance of getting selected at least in terms of formatting of the resume, okay? So, once this is done, you when you click on download, you'll be able to download that resume. See, it
will look something like this in a PDF format. Then comes the portfolio website. This is extremely important in your job search process. There are many candidates who do not have this website, okay? So, let me just show you here I
have built it already. So, the project portfolio website is nothing but your online resume. You include this link in your resume and then a recruiter or a your resume and then a recruiter or a hiring manager can look at your resume
live. So, here you have your introduction video, okay? So, your watching your introduction video, they will get idea on your verbal communication, your personality, and so on. You also mentioned all your projects

can access it on GitHub. So, they click on a GitHub link and they get that code. See, I also hire in Edvick and I have taken a lot of interviews in Bloomberg and the companies that I have worked for. And I always find it useful to look
at GitHub's code for a candidate before I interview them. It gives me a lot of hints. So, having this kind of professionally designed portfolio will They'll be like, "Okay, this candidate is very sincere. Look at his work, you
know? It's so beautiful and they will be willing to have a conversation with you." So, you can mention all your projects, your experiences, your certificates, and so on. Now, the way you build this project portfolio is See,
project portfolio, that's why it's saying view portfolio, but you can actually edit it here, okay? And when you edit it, you'll be able to add all the information. See, you just add a bunch of information and we create that
portfolio website for you, which is valid forever. Then we have these job openings. So, we have a curated list of job openings here and you can look into those and you can apply into the relevant ones. Then we do resume review
and LinkedIn profile review. So, this is manual, by the way. So, we have a bunch of experts who will do this review and they will provide you the feedback. So, as if you are having a mentor, your senior with you and they are providing
you a review on your resume as well as your LinkedIn. We also have LinkedIn optimizer, okay? So, through LinkedIn optimizer, you'll be able to optimize your LinkedIn profile. The next feature that can help you in your career journey
click here, you will see this virtual internship module. Now, what we have done here is we have given you a simulated experience as if you are doing an internship in a real company. So, this internship is
actually from a real company, which is Edvick Technologies, okay? Which is my own company. So, see, you are getting this onboarding internship offer. And once uh you do that, you will work on this
weekly task, okay? So, let me just show you the first task. And the the way this task is given to you is you're getting on a call. See, simulated call with your
manager. Your manager comes, they talk to you. See, here it's you, here is your manager. They will give you the task. And after that task, see, you can take help of these members.
Then the incoming task email is this. The task contains all the information, okay? Data set, what kind of problem you're solving, etc., etc. And once you you're solving, etc., etc. And once you have completed the task, you will enter
the answers for some of the questions we are asking to verify. Okay? So, how many data table exists, okay? You you just give the answer. I'm logged in in a answer, but you won't see this answer, okay? You have to answer it and then
right answer. So, this way we are doing the quality check, okay? So, there is week one, week two, week three. Of course, as week progresses, the difficulty level will increase. This internship is not some toy project,
internship is not some toy project, folks. This is a real-life project. It's designed based on the real industry experiences that we have, okay? So, you will get an excellent exposure when you work on this virtual internship. While
you're going through boot camp and if you have any question, then below the video, you will find this ask questions button. So, when you click here to join our Discord server, there is a process you'll follow to join the Discord
server. And once you're here, what you will see is different channels for have question on Spark, you ask a question here. You have question on Airflow, you ask a question here. You have question on foundation, you ask a
question here. And here, see, this is very live and it's an amazing community, folks. Here, uh not only our team members will help you, but other boot camp students will also help you, they will share their experiences. And
you see the kind of conversation and engagement here, okay? So, this way you feel like you are in this virtual room with a bunch of students and and also our team members. Whenever you have a question, you post it here and you will
get answer in a reasonable time frame. We recently conducted a survey with CodeBasics learners. Around 750 people participated and many people requested to have live problem-solving sessions. Well, we have heard you and we are
launching this new initiative called live problem solving sessions where we are going to bring industry experts. So, let's say there will be data engineers working for top companies. They will be running these live sessions
on Zoom where as a data engineering bootcamp students, you will be able to attend this session and you will solve a real-life complex problem. We will also discuss solid use cases so that will open up your perspective on the business
side as well. These sessions will be held bi-weekly and as a data engineering bootcamp student, you will get 1 year of free access for these sessions. We are planning to do the same thing for other bootcamps, too. In addition, we have
provided all these practice rooms where you are solving the real-life industry problems and also these problems will be updated continuously. At the end, there is one big concern that I want to share with all of you. You already saw we are
providing many useful features. It is not just pre-recorded videos, right? You have job assistance portal, you have resume review, LinkedIn review, you have live problem solving sessions. Now, when we call people for live problem solving
experts, right? And building all these features incurs a lot of cost. So, we want to sustain as a business, but what has come to our notice is that there are videos and they're sharing it on Telegram for free. Now, this is clearly
a piracy and I have two concerns with this approach. The first one is we are losing revenue due to this piracy. Now, see we have a good intention. EdTech is a very scammy place. Few years back, people used to make this false job
guarantee promises to sell their courses. Nowadays, they have stopped, but they have not stopped their scammy practices yet. They make you take a loan, okay, by providing you very confusing condition, you know. There is
like little star and some hidden condition. You enroll into something and later on you realize that they're taking a lot of money for you and you are not getting enough value. On the other hand, we are not involved in any scammy
practices. We have a very honest [music] intention here and we are providing all these features at a very affordable price. So, if piracy continues, we won't be able to sustain as a business and we won't be able to continue this mission.
And what you will get at the end is this overhyped courses which are packaged at a very high price. We are already taking legal actions, strict legal actions against those people who are doing any kind of piracy, but at the same time, we
are very grateful to our learners who have spotted these incidents and who have brought this to our attention and who have actively reported all these illegal channels. The second problem that we are seeing is even if you get
pirated version, you are not going to get much help because our bootcamp is not about pre-recorded videos. It is about a community with which you will study together, doubt support, job placement. We have features such as
LinkedIn and resume optimizer, portfolio website, virtual internship, mock interviews, live problem solving sessions, practice rooms. You know, you and without these features, it will not truly help you in making you career
ready. it is my humble request, please support us if you think that we are doing good work. That's it. I have covered everything and as I say always, please don't trust my words blindly, do your research and make your decision.
Talk to people who have taken our bootcamps, check reviews carefully and even though we know that our product is good, I want you to follow the process because it's not just about spending money, you are also
All right? Thank you very much for watching. I wish you all the best.
