Why not the alternatives
The honest comparison: including where we're not the cheapest.
You have real options. Here's exactly where each one leaves you, so you can choose with your eyes open.
| Recorded course | Generic bootcamp | Shonazz Learning | |
|---|---|---|---|
| You learn | Alone, on your own willpower | Live, but for another timezone | Live, in Gulf evening hours |
| When you're stuck | You Google it | Ask in a huge cohort | Corrected by name, on the spot |
| You finish with | A completion badge | A generic project | A portfolio dashboard + query library |
| Both skills together | Two separate courses | Rarely | SQL → Power BI, one continuous path |
| Finish rate | Notoriously low | Mixed | A cohort that expects you back |
