Unfortunately, after extensive research, I stumbled upon Aulab's Data Analyst course. I say "unfortunately" because I spent over €4,000, choosing it primarily for the promise of a guaranteed internship at the end of the course, something that other courses—much cheaper—didn't offer. When I enrolled, I was asked to sign a document in which Aulab promised to place us in the company for a paid internship. Unfortunately, this promise proved to be meaningless. It seemed like they were supposed to handle our placement directly, but once the course was completed, they merely corrected a few details on my CV and then "passed" me on to Randstad recruiters. Randstad asked me a couple of questions and said they would update me. In the meantime, I was advised to research companies and submit CVs myself. Essentially, I would have to do the work that should have been theirs. After months without any response, I asked for updates: nothing. The only thing that happened was a call from another recruiter who asked me exactly the same questions, even though I had already offered full availability for travel and contract types. I already had some doubts about this supposed internship, but I decided to trust it. Looking back, I wouldn't do it again.

I haven't had the opportunity to check out the courses, thanks to Inside Sales' pre-sales service, which is rude to say the least. I responded to a sponsored ad on social media, asking for my phone number and email address. Since I don't want to provide my phone number, I didn't include it; they sent me an email asking for my contact information. I politely asked for a brochure or transparent pricing information, at least initially via email, without being forced to provide my phone number, which would be given to pushy salespeople, and above all to avoid wasting time (if it were out of budget). A very rude secretary replied that if I wanted pricing information, it could only be given over the phone. I obviously didn't continue with the process, as this is a huge red flag. I advise against even leaving my contact information.

I received the Basic AI Course (Aulab Hackacademy) offered in collaboration with Mediaworld as a gift, and completed it today. The explanations were clear, and the course, while very easy to understand, was very well structured. I think I'll take more courses with them. Recommended.

I stumbled upon this course thanks to several sponsorships, particularly from a YouTuber I trust. I don't blame him for the quality of the course, because Aulab, unlike others who promise a lot and deliver very little, knows how to advertise. Where do I start? - The course is very expensive for what it offers; the key word? Superficial. - The support is unclear, and the wait times are too long. - The "professors" focused more on appearing friendly than on making the lesson understandable. - Since the course takes place in a short time (3 months), I naively thought it was awesome, but I was wrong and I won't make that mistake again. Why? The result was that the "professors" read the script quickly, devoting essentially only 5 minutes to the students. Unfortunately, if you didn't understand, you fell behind or had to make up for it with your classmates. It goes without saying that if you have any shortcomings, you'll carry them over to all the other classes, even though the "professors" will wash their hands of the matter if you ask for help, simply sending you more exercises that don't help you understand, or asking you to seek help from classmates who may not have understood them either. - In the end, I even risked not getting my certificate because there was an incomprehensible error in counting my absences, even though I didn't even remotely exceed them. I only managed to get the certificate because I complained to the support staff. - Obviously, the job wasn't found for me as promised in their sponsorships. Basically, I won't take similar three-month courses again, and I strongly advise you to look for something else, especially something longer, because this is the first warning sign. *Aulab Response - December 2025* Have we reached the point of denying my participation? I'm forced to upload my useless €3,000+ certificate to prove that I was, unfortunately, one of your students. It's quite pathetic that you've only now decided to increase its duration, after so many students like me have spent a fortune on a course that you apparently confirm was poorly managed from the start. I feel indescribably ashamed of you.
