Last verified 2026-07-06 · every fact below was checked against the provider's official page.
You want to shift into data science. You don't want to spend four years back in school to do it. A bootcamp promises a faster path, but "faster" only matters if the schedule fits around your day job, the price doesn't wreck your budget, and the school actually teaches the tools employers ask for.
This guide compares the data science bootcamps active in the Philippines right now: what they teach, how the schedule works for someone with a 9-to-5, and where the gaps are, including prices that aren't published yet, which happens more than most directories admit.
If you're comparing this against a general coding bootcamp, we cover that overlap below and in our bootcamp directory.
| Bootcamp | Duration | Format | Schedule | Price / Financing | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eskwelabs Data Science Fellowship | 15 weeks (~20 hrs/wk) | Live online | M-F 6-9 PM + Sat 1-6 PM | Not published; financing via Bukas | Career shifters ready for a full-time-equivalent load |
| Eskwelabs Data Analytics Bootcamp | 9 weeks (9-12 hrs/wk) | Live online | M/W/F 6-9 PM + alternating Sat | Not published | Working professionals who want analytics + Generative AI skills fast |
| Uplift Code Camp Python Data and AI Bootcamp | Cohort-based | Online | Scheduled cohorts, 2026 | Not published | Beginners who want Python fundamentals plus AI agent building |
| MMDC AI for Personal Productivity | Self-paced | Online, on-demand | Rolling enrollment | ₱990/month (promo through Dec 31, 2026) | Budget-conscious beginners not ready for a full bootcamp |
Prices marked "not published" mean the provider requires an inquiry or application before quoting a number. That's normal for cohort-based bootcamps. Don't read it as a red flag.
Eskwelabs runs the most established data science bootcamp brand in the Philippines, and the Fellowship is its flagship program.
What you'll learn: The Fellowship runs 15 weeks at roughly 20 hours a week, close to a part-time job in time commitment. It's built for people planning a full career shift into data science, not a light upskilling pass.
Schedule reality: Classes run Monday to Friday, 6 to 9 PM, plus Saturday 1 to 6 PM. That's five weeknights and a Saturday afternoon, every week, for over three months. If you're working full-time, block this out with your manager or your household before you enroll. This is not a casual side commitment.
Financing: Eskwelabs offers financing through Bukas, the study-now-pay-later platform many Filipino bootcamp grads already know from other programs. If the sticker price is the blocker, ask about a Bukas payment plan when you inquire.
Who it fits: Career shifters who can clear their evenings for three-plus months and want the deepest data science curriculum on this list.
Honest caveat: Pricing isn't published on the site, so you'll need to inquire directly for a quote. Cohorts run through 2026, so timing your application around your current job's notice period is worth planning ahead.

If 15 weeks at 20 hours a week sounds like too much, Eskwelabs also runs a shorter analytics-focused bootcamp.
What you'll learn: Nine weeks at 9 to 12 hours a week, under half the time load of the Fellowship. The curriculum includes a Generative AI & Storytelling module and hands-on work with Julius.AI, an AI-assisted data analysis tool. This is a meaningfully different program from the Fellowship, not a shorter version of it. It's built around analytics and storytelling with data, not the full data science stack.
Schedule reality: Classes run Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 6 to 9 PM, with an alternating Saturday session. Three weeknights a week is a load most working professionals can sustain without burning out.
Who it fits: People who want to add data analytics and AI-assisted reporting to their current role, or who are testing the waters before committing to a longer program. It's also a reasonable entry point if you're not sure data science is the right fit yet. You'll know within nine weeks instead of fifteen.
Honest caveat: Same as the Fellowship: price isn't published. Cohorts run through 2026 on the M/W/F schedule.

Uplift Code Camp's data-focused offering centers on Python, applied to real datasets and AI agent building rather than pure theory.
What you'll learn: The program works through real-world data challenges and includes building AI agents, a more applied, project-based angle than a lecture-heavy curriculum. It's a fit for people who learn by doing rather than by studying slides.
Schedule reality: Cohorts are active through 2026, delivered fully online. Exact weekly hours and specific class times aren't published on Uplift's site right now, so inquire directly before you plan your calendar around it.
Who it fits: Beginners and career shifters who want a Python-first, project-heavy introduction to data and AI work, especially if you already have some interest in AI agents specifically rather than analytics dashboards.
Honest caveat: Pricing is not published. This listing is sourced from Uplift's official site but hasn't been re-confirmed against a live cohort page as recently as the Eskwelabs listings above. Treat schedule specifics as "verify before enrolling."

e-TESDA Azure AI Fundamentals course. TESDA's online arm offers a free, on-demand course built around Microsoft's Azure AI Fundamentals content. Note that it is AI-900 branded and AI-900 was retired on 30 June 2026, so treat it as an introduction rather than current exam prep. It's self-paced, free, and a legitimate way to learn foundational AI concepts before you spend a peso. Find it under the ICT category at e-tesda.gov.ph.
DICT Coursebank courses. The Department of Information and Communications Technology, through its digital jobs PH initiative, offers 36 free online courses covering AI and cloud computing topics. Same idea: free, on-demand, no financial commitment. Availability of the current course list should be confirmed directly, since course catalogs on programs like this shift over time.
MMDC AI for Personal Productivity: the low-cost middle ground. If free feels too shallow but a full bootcamp feels like too much, Mapua Malayan Digital College runs an AI for Personal Productivity certification program at ₱990 a month under a "Skill Up, Score Rewards" promo running through December 31, 2026. It's on-demand and online, aimed at professionals and beginners who want a structured but low-stakes on-ramp. This isn't a data science bootcamp, it's productivity-focused AI training, but it's a reasonable stepping stone if the jump straight to a 9-week analytics bootcamp feels too steep.

Every provider, price, and schedule detail in this article was checked against the provider's own official page. We mark each listing with a verification date, and we re-check listings on a rolling basis because bootcamp prices, schedules, and promos change without notice.
If you spot outdated information, that's useful to us. Providers update pricing and cohort dates often, and this page gets refreshed accordingly.
Most Philippine data science bootcamps, including Eskwelabs' Fellowship and Analytics programs and Uplift Code Camp's Python bootcamp, don't publish a fixed price on their websites. You need to inquire directly to get a quote, and pricing may depend on the cohort or any current promo. Eskwelabs offers financing through Bukas for applicants who need to spread out payment. If you want a fixed, published price instead of an inquiry process, MMDC's AI for Personal Productivity program at ₱990/month is a published-price alternative, though it's a productivity course rather than a full data science bootcamp.
That depends on your goal and your current skill level. A bootcamp makes sense if you're committing to a career shift and need structured, cohort-based accountability. The Monday-to-Friday schedule of the Eskwelabs Fellowship, for example, forces the kind of consistent practice that's hard to replicate studying alone. If you're not sure data science is the right direction yet, start with a free option like the e-TESDA Azure AI Fundamentals course first, then commit to a paid bootcamp once you know the subject holds your interest.
Yes. Eskwelabs positions both its Fellowship and Analytics Bootcamp for beginners and career shifters, not just people with a technical background already. Uplift Code Camp's program is also aimed at beginners and career shifters. That said, "beginner-friendly" means no prior data science experience is required. It doesn't mean zero effort. Expect the first few weeks to involve a learning curve as you pick up Python, statistics basics, and the tools used in the course.
Every data science bootcamp on this list runs live online, not onsite. That's an advantage if you're outside Metro Manila or juggling a job with commute time, since live online classes mean you attend from wherever you are, at the scheduled time, without travel. It also means you need reliable internet and a quiet space during class hours, which for the Eskwelabs Fellowship means five weeknights and a Saturday afternoon every week.
No bootcamp on this list publishes a job placement guarantee or verified placement statistics, and we won't repeat a number we can't source. Treat any bootcamp's spoken claims about job outcomes with the same scrutiny you'd apply to price: ask for specifics, ask what "placement" means in their reporting, and verify before you enroll based on that claim alone. What each program does publish clearly is curriculum and schedule, which this article covers above.
