Spark Training Reviews
DataFlair was my secret key to crack my first Big Data interview in one go. The full credit for my success goes to the instructor who helped me in every manner possible. For cracking the interview, I attended the mock interview sessions; they really helped me with my confidence. Alongside, I watched the videos provided by DataFlair; those helped me remember everything accurately. Then, I pulled up Quora and DataFlair to read about some interview experiences. These informed me about common mistakes, and I easily cracked the interview.

DataFlair's Big Data Hadoop and Spark developer course sounded exciting, so I decided to give it a try. I wasn't quite sure about it since I've had bad experiences when shopping for online services, but this one changed my mind. Not only did they explain in the best way, they used practical examples to explain everything. The live projects were like a gift; they taught me everything from confidence to skills. After the course, they offered me a mock interview session, which was brilliant in itself. I credit all my success to DataFlair.

The instructor was efficient and accurate in his lessons. And because of the mock interview they held, I was confident and excited. I cracked the interview in one go and I remember that is because I learned so much from the live projects I got to work on. Today, I work at JDA and have received an 80% hike in my salary. Thank you, DataFlair.

I was nervous enrolling for the Big Data Hadoop and Spark Certification course by DataFlair; I had no technical exposure and didn't know basic terminologies. But the Instructor always helped and answered all my questions. The experience was awesome. The first day, he gave us small assessments and ranked students accordingly. The instructor also helped each student so well, it cleared the fundamentals of Big Data & Hadoop in their minds. DataFlair was there for me up until I found myself a job in Big Data.
