Do I need coding experience to join the Data Engineering
program?
No. The program is designed to be beginner-friendly. You do
not need previous coding experience, a Computer Science
degree, or an IT background. The curriculum starts with Data
Engineering fundamentals, databases, and SQL before gradually
introducing Python and more advanced engineering tools.
How long is the Data Engineering program?
The complete program runs for 10 months at approximately 4
hours per week, including live instructor-led learning,
guided labs, assignments, and project work.
Is the course hands-on?
Yes. The program is project-based throughout. Each month
combines concepts, guided lab work, and a practical
deliverable that contributes to your Data Engineering
portfolio.
What technologies will I learn?
You'll work with SQL, PostgreSQL, Python, pandas, NumPy,
PySpark, Airflow, dbt, Docker, REST APIs, Git, GitHub, cloud
storage, cloud databases, Data Lakes, Data Warehouses, Data
Validation, and Power BI or Tableau.
What is the final capstone?
You'll build a complete Business Data Pipeline that extracts
data from files, APIs, or databases; cleans and transforms
it; loads it into structured storage; automates the
workflow; validates Data Quality; and presents the result
through documentation, GitHub, and a dashboard.
What jobs can this program prepare me for?
The curriculum supports entry-level and adjacent roles
including Junior Data Engineer, ETL Developer, SQL Developer,
Analytics Engineer, BI Developer, Data Pipeline Developer,
Junior Cloud Data Engineer, and Data Analyst with Engineering
Skills.
Does Transfotech Academy guarantee a job, and what does career
support entail?
While no ethical program "guarantees" a job, Transfotech Academy

eligibility of its staff — a professional verification of the
organization's standing regarding federal employment
eligibility, distinct from traditional academic accreditation.
Who is the instructor leading this cohort?
The cohort is led by Fayek Chowdhury, an Analytics & BI
Instructor with over a decade of experience in data
engineering and analytics at companies including Veruna Inc.
and OUTFRONT Media. His expertise spans Python pipelines,
SQL, and agile data workflows, and he is dedicated to
mentoring the next generation of Data Engineers.
