I have enrolled in scaler data science course recently. And after completing a couple of months studies with them here are the Pros and Cons for me:
Pros:
- Very structured course and relevant topics. Along with really good assignments after each class.
- Instructors are really good. Until now I have only interacted with Mohit Uniyal, and I think he is really good. He is very thorough and amazingly patient while answering doubts.
- Teaching Assistance support is another great resource. You can reach out to them anytime via chat or video call. So that’s very handy.
- The dashboard is laid out really well too. The options to view class recordings any time, making bookmarks, discussion, scaler support access. Very neat!
- I have heard they have good placement and career support as well. I haven’t availed or experience this yet first hand since I am only 2 months in the course now.
Cons:
- Quite expensive course for sure, but given the quality and other equally and more expensive courses in the market such as upgrad, I am not surprised.
- Features like mentors are not very helpful, as even many mentors are still figuring out their career.
- A lot of spam from scaler. OMG! like you name it, Email, Whatsapp, Slack, so much spam from scaler and other learners.
- Lack of quality network building. Eventhough scaler has the above platforms where learners can connect, it still fails to help learners network. I know it is a hard thing, but I hope scaler can come with something where learners can benefit from each other.

The value of Learnvern certificates is questionable for both newcomers and experienced learners, irrespective of their field of interest. Additionally, opting for course purchases through subscription models is a concern. Like when I enrolled in Learnvern’s course, I realized that Learnvern lacks official accreditation and its certificates hold minimal significance without practical experience. Moreover, these certificates are not recognized by any governing body. It is now that I am reading about similar experiences from so many others too.
That is the reason I am saying that the certificates without practical knowledge are like zero, because when you sit for an interview you have to prove that you have the required knowledge because they straight away reject Learnvern. In one interview the interviewer even said that these types of certificates don’t hold any value and you can easily get these by participating in data science quizzes.
Also, It doesn’t make sense to pay the full price for their courses because they’re often on sale for much cheaper. This might make you think the courses aren’t very good in terms of what they teach, who teaches them, and how the platform is managed.

Canceling a subscription is an immediate loss of access to content, a common occurrence experienced by me and others I know. Please do not pursue the course from here, you are paying the price and after that, the certification will not even add value to your CV.
