FourthRev Avis 

This program was the essential pivot I needed to break into data analytics. It shaped my fundamentals and was a changing experience that confirms I made the right decision

What sets the LSE Data Analytics Career Accelerator apart is how practical it feels - every module builds toward something applicable, not just theoretical. If you’re serious about breaking into data or levelling up your skills, this is one of the most credible ways to do it. The curriculum is well-structured, the instruction quality is exactly what you’d expect from LSE, and the cohort of ambitious peers adds real value beyond the course itself.

The LSE experience was valuable stepping stone to me being able to launch an analytics business.
The teaching was hands on with drop in sessions available if we were struggling with content. Our tutor was very professional and helpful throughout.
The best thing about the FourthRev experience was the community around the course. I forged friendships with other learners that exists to this day.
Would recommend this course to anyone looking to widen their skillsets into data

The Data Science Career Accelerator course offered by FourthRev through Professional and Continuing Education Institute, University of Cambridge helped me gain data science knowledge and skill to a great depth. My perspective to solve business problem has changed and the outcomes have become much more reliable for my clients. This 4-parts course took me to an unforgettable journey to learn AI, Neural Network, Time-Series analysis and many more. All of these have become core of my strength to prosper in my career.

The course was over priced for the support provided. The feedback from assignments was non-existent and I’m pretty sure I could have submitted a blank page and been allowed to pass.

The course content itself was good and so were the academic tutors but fourthrev made it feel like a scam. The final certificate didn’t look authentic at all.

I would not recommend a non-credit course through fourthrev. There are definitely better credit bearing courses that are cheaper or even free.

It was great to learn from industry product leader - he helped me understand the content better with weekly example led industry specific practical sessions. In all it was great experience.

The sales people are not fully honest with the true amount of work that needs to be done in a very short space of time. Very very difficult if you have a family and/or are working. It is not worth the money, because the support to assist with questions and practical examples are not there. They reuse the same main corporate projects and have the same company providers. The course took a large mental and physical toll on me. I was able to complete but it was very difficult to fit it all in in the short space of time. You do not really learn it in a practical sense because of the intense nature to just try and complete the tasks.

An excellent course on the lengthy design process of product/UX/UI design, that was delivered by experienced lecturers.

From taking this course, I successfully gained a role in UX/UI design.

Fourth Rev genuinely made such a positive difference to my experience on the program. An acquaintance of mine also enrolled in an LSE program, but without Fourth Rev, and his experience was worlds apart. He had almost no support—no follow-ups from a success manager and no career coaching—which really showed how valuable Fourth Rev’s support is.

My experience with FourthRev has been excellent. They’ve been a real support in my career development, and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

I took the Digital Product Design (UX/UI) course ran by FourthRev and King's College London. It was amazing and very full on. I would recommend it to people who want to start a career in the sector or upskill - I not only learnt flows and wireframing but also boosted my research and ideation skills. The course gives you enough to also kick start your portfolio. The employer project was a highlight, working in a team on a real-world scenario. Course facilitators were very helpful and always available to answer questions. You also get career coaching on the side which is very helpful.
Be aware that to make the most of it and not just pass to tick the skills acquired box, this will be a very busy experience. I did it on the side of my job and it was pretty challenging to juggle - definitely spent more than 20h/week.
All in all, I can 100% can recommend the course!

It was amazing sharing my experience. I hope it inspires others. This programme has made a significant difference in my life and I hope it does the same for others.

I completed the Cambridge Data Science Career Accelerator with FourthRev during a period where I already had several years of experience in data engineering and analytics, so I was not looking for a basic skills bootcamp. What the programme provided instead was something more valuable: a structured forcing function to step back from execution and think more clearly about problem framing, communication, and how advanced technical work translates into real organisational value.

The Employer Project, delivered in collaboration with the Bank of England, was a strong anchor for this. Working on an NLP use case around financial transcripts required navigating ambiguous requirements, imperfect data, and trade-offs between technical ambition and delivery realism. That experience felt deliberately closer to real-world conditions than many academic-style projects and pushed me to sharpen how I reasoned about scope, credibility, and stakeholder expectations.

The teaching and mentoring struck a good balance between depth and perspective. The technical content was solid, but the real benefit came from how it encouraged clearer articulation of decisions, assumptions, and outcomes. I found this especially useful as someone moving toward more senior, architect-level roles where explanation and judgement matter as much as implementation.

This is not a lightweight programme, and it rewards people who engage seriously with it. For experienced practitioners looking to consolidate their thinking, reposition themselves, or gain confidence operating in AI-heavy conversations, it can be a genuinely worthwhile investment.

The course is quite poorly organised. While the content is theoretically rich (usually, too much), it is not possible to acquire concrete, practical skills from the course materials alone, at least not within the time provided. Assignments and projects are poorly designed (almost all datasets make absolutely no sense) and insufficiently explained, which makes learning inefficient and frustrating.

The course facilitator added little value to the live sessions, which made attendance largely pointless. The career support component is rather disappointing and absolutely not worth the price. Overall, the course does not justify its cost, and the added value is far below what one would expect. It definitely feels as though you are only paying for the LSE name rather than for genuine educational quality.

Comparable or even superior content can easily be found on platforms like Coursera for a fraction of the price (around $50 per month), with far better structure and learning outcomes. From my cohort, very few people, if any, found employment as a direct result of this course. The success managers were generally absent or dismissive and felt inauthentic rather than genuinely supportive.

What you can actually manage to get from the course is a very superficial overview of data analytics and programming concepts, and that is the only reason I am giving it two stars instead of one, because I do feel kind of acquainted with the tools. However, even this overview does not fully align with industry standards. For example, tools like Tableau are emphasised despite not being widely used in the relevant professional contexts, whereas Power BI (the industry standard) is left out.

Additionally, much of the course content was outdated, clearly reused from two or three years ago. The employer project was particularly frustrating and ultimately pointless. The business problem was unrealistic, had already been solved by actual professionals within the company, and had been reused with all previous cohorts. Interaction with the employer was minimal, limited to one or two meetings before the final presentation. As a result, the project felt artificial and disconnected from any real-world application.

Overall, the course was disappointing, overpriced, and failed to deliver meaningful skills or career outcomes. I would definitely not recommend it.

You can learn a lot on this course but be aware some of the content is now dated, the experience on the employer project is mixed and the course is quite expensive relative to other options available.

FourthRev has been attentive and helpful throughout my journey. From the moment I enquired my course till the end of my certification. Highly recommended for people who are looking to switch career but doesn’t have the time to do a full time degree.

Great place to learn and gain the skill sets needed for Data Analytics.

It was a worthwhile investment.
I would note that an online course is a little underwhelming because you have to manage everything on your own, don't always have teammates you can compare work with and have to self-motivate to reach the finish line (because the course isn't perfectly structured), but it was worth it.
