What do our students have to say?

Nathalia Gaiarim

ESG & Sustainability Consultant

“Fiz o curso de análise de dados na TechOf e, do primeiro contato até a apresentação do trabalho final, só tive boas experiências. No início, estava com dúvidas se fazia o curso e logo em seguida recebi uma chamada da professora Beatriz super disposta a tirar todas as minhas dúvidas. A metodologia é ágil, eficiente e completa. A professora é muito atenciosa, sempre disponível e consegue dar atenção para os alunos com diferentes ritmos de aprendizagem. O espaço é amplo e equipado com materiais de qualidade. Eu recomendo 100% a TechOf!”

José Madureira Pinto

Financial Business Consultant

“Encontro-me a concluir o curso de Analista de Dados na TechOf e só posso deixar elogios. A equipa é incrível, sempre disponíveis e atentos ao progresso de cada aluno e com feedback de experiências do “mundo real”. Mas talvez o maior elogio que posso fazer seja este: após 6 meses intensivos, com uma abordagem muito prática, vi colegas de curso — vindos das mais diversas áreas e sem experiência prévia em ferramentas como SQL, Python ou Power BI — a desenvolverem projetos com uma qualidade surpreendente, ao nível (ou até superior) de muitos profissionais com anos de experiência na área. Recomendo vivamente a quem procura uma formação sólida, prática e transformadora.”

João Teixeira

NOC Service Desk Analyst

“O verdadeiro desafio foi conseguir transpor as minhas ideias e conceitos para a prática. A TechOf ajudou-me imenso, proporcionando-me a liberdade de errar e corrigir ao longo do caminho. Recebi orientações valiosas, como: ‘Aqui, poderias aprofundar mais este ponto ou melhorar nesta área’. Isso foi crucial, pois muitas vezes falta-nos essa abertura para receber feedback sincero, algo que nem sempre encontramos. A abordagem transparente e construtiva da equipa fez toda a diferença”

Caroline Brockveld

Civil Engineer

My goal in this course was to learn how to use tools, manipulate data, and derive insights from it. What I gained, however, was much more than that. I had the privilege of learning from an amazing mentor, Beatriz Duarte, who encouraged us to question and analyze data from different perspectives. I also had the opportunity to connect with colleagues from diverse backgrounds, whose insights I will carry with me. I am deeply grateful for the knowledge shared by the TechOf team. I’m already applying what I’ve learned in my daily work and am eager to keep improving my results through data-driven decisions.

Sofia Carvalho

Insurance Specialist at Tesla

“Escolhi a TechOf porque foi a única escola que encontrei que oferecia as ferramentas de SQL, Python, e Power BI, focadas especificamente em análise de dados. A praticidade do curso, com uma forte aposta em exercícios e projetos, foi crucial para a sua aprendizagem. Adoro analisar dados e queria muito aprender estas técnicas”. “Agora, em vez de extrair grandes bases de dados em Excel, que muitas vezes iam abaixo, uso SQL para extrair exatamente a informação que preciso, o que aumentou a eficiência, o próximo passo é usar Power BI para facilitar a comunicação com os stakeholders”

Hugo Boavista

Data Analyst | Civil Engineer

“Na área em que eu estava, Engenharia Civil, estava num beco sem saída. Comecei a procurar cursos no mundo das tecnologias e achei que o curso de Data Analyst era o ideal para mim, dado que sou mais analítico. Foi um gosto trabalhar aqui durante seis meses e sair com perspetivas novas para a minha vida. Saio com um sentimento de dever cumprido”

Tiago Jesus

Call Center Manager

“Foi muito desafiante, sem dúvida, porque não tinha qualquer base de programação. No entanto, os conteúdos que nos deram foram straight to the point. Começámos com SQL, Microsoft Excel avançado, Power BI e terminámos com o Python. Foi muito desafiante. No entanto, os conteúdos que nos deram foram eficazes, praticámos bastante e também ajudou a nossa professora, Beatriz Duarte, ser excecional e prática. Consigo criar, analisar e acompanhar toda a informação da minha equipa, simplesmente porque adiciono informação e a programação automaticamente dá-me tudo o que preciso, porque a configurei assim. Facilita-me imenso a vida. O Power BI foi life changing. Se encontraram a TechOf, e se estão com dúvidas, acho que devem dedicar tempo e visitar a escola, onde todos são muito prestáveis. Não tenham dúvidas em inscrever-se na TechOf, porque acho que é o início de muitas carreiras de sucesso”

Patrícia Tavanez

Lab Technician

“Sempre gostei da parte de análise e tratamento de dados, porque é uma área que, ao contrário da Química em laboratório, não traz surpresas desagradáveis no final de um dia de trabalho. No início, a programação assustava-me, mas acabei por gostar muito. Achei que foi uma oportunidade fantástica para explorar o meu lado mais criativo e pensar fora da caixa, Aproveitem toda a disponibilidade que a TechOf oferece e não tenham medo de explorar coisas diferentes”

Diana Levytska

Export Sales Manager

“Recomendo vivamente. Superou todas as expectativas! Um curso que prepara para o mercado de trabalho, com conteúdos atualizadíssimos e uma abordagem prática que faz toda a diferença. O suporte da professora e a qualidade do material foram fundamentais para o sucesso deste curso.”
