What they say about Vertical Institute

It was my first time that I used skillfuture to sign up with VI, and the learning experience was totally great! The course content and its online lessons were well-paced and conveniently carried out. Instructor Stan was knowledgeable and detailed in his trainings and his TAs were helpful. The course training materials were useful and well prepared for. It was highly recommended to join VI. Thank you VI and fellow instructors!

Lina Kwek

Took the Data Science bootcamp and it was well worth waking up early on the weekends for a month. Trainer Sifat guided us, and the bootcamp provided a good introduction to Python including being able to use what we learnt in the capstone. Funding was via IBF and the remaining via skillsfuture credits.

Yong Ann Ooi

Signed up to Data Science Bootcamp in Aug’22 and glad to know that the course was fully funded by IBF Funding and Skills Future Credits. Lessons were very interesting and pace was just right for programming noobs like myself. I also got to attend the lessons in the comfort of my home as the classes were conducted via Zoom. Highly recommended for those who would like to have hands-on knowledge on Python programming.

Lynn Ho

Clarence is clear in his instructions and the course allows for sufficient hands on to learn SQL and Tableau. The ease of using Skillsfuture to subsidize the course makes it a sweeter deal!

Elton Teo

Have completed the Digital Marketing Bootcamp from the Institute under Daniel. Materials were clear and concise. I feel that it is very helpful for people who are completely new to the field (like me). Also, it’s claimable with Skillsfuture credits so another plus point to sign up for. Appreciate the guidance throughout the course.

Mavis Tay

Never think that learning coding, data and design without prior knowledge can be that easy until I met Vertical Institute! Kudus to the VI’ instructors & teaching assistants! The course fees were very affordable too (thank you skillsfuture)

Luck Chew

With the use of skillsfuture credits, I attended the data analytics course conducted by Clarence who is patient in guiding us along the way.
