Curriculum
This is what you learn in our Data Engineering Bootcamp
Build your foundation in Python and SQL
Python
SQL
Error Handling
Functional Programming
ER Diagrams
Indexing
Kickstart your journey with advanced Python programming and data modeling techniques. You’ll dive deep into data structures, functional coding, performance tuning, and error handling — then transition into advanced SQL queries, relational modeling, normalization, and optimization strategies. Your learning journey starts with more than just tech skills – it begins by building a strong foundation for success. In the first week, you’ll connect with your peers, learn how to work effectively in the course, explore the IT industry and career opportunities, and discover how to use (and not misuse) AI as a tool to support your growth.
Automate and scale with Docker, Airflow, and Prefect
Docker
Apache Airflow
Prefect
DBT
In this phase, you'll containerize your apps with Docker and learn how to manage workflows using Airflow and Prefect. You’ll also be introduced to dbt to build modular, testable transformations in your data pipelines.
Design secure and scalable cloud pipelines
IAm
Lambda
RDS
AWS S3
Glue
Learn the fundamentals of cloud computing with AWS. You’ll build cloud-native pipelines using Glue, Lambda, and S3, and explore data warehousing with Redshift. Topics include identity and access management, cost optimization, and best practices in cloud architecture.
Master Spark, PySpark, Kafka, and MongoDB
MongoDB
Kafka
PySpark
Master Spark
Work with large-scale datasets using Spark and PySpark, and implement real-time data solutions using Kafka. You’ll also gain hands-on experience with NoSQL databases like MongoDB and understand batch vs. stream processing use cases.
Develop a capstone project and prepare for the AWS certifcation
AWS Certification
Metadata
Terraform
GitHub Actions
In your final phase, you’ll integrate all your knowledge into a capstone project — building and presenting a full-stack data platform. You’ll also learn about data governance, metadata, and quality frameworks, while using GitHub Actions and Terraform to automate and deploy infrastructure. This phase includes AWS certification prep and job readiness support.

Re- & UpskillingEducation must be affordable. And for everyone. That's why we offer three ways how you can finance your bootcamp with us, guaranteed and very easy.
These steps are important to take the course
Whether you have dropped out of university, are on short-time work, are threatened with unemployment or have lost your job, your time will be well spent if you become more digital. Please note that the process of getting an education voucher from the employment agency can take a relatively long time. We therefore advise you to follow the procedure below.
Step 1
Register as a jobseeker early
In order to receive your education voucher for your retraining from the employment agency, the Jobcenter or the Labour Office, you should register as a jobseeker at an early stage. It is therefore very important that you first make an appointment with the relevant office. It's best to do it now!
Step 2
Get your educational offer from us
The next step on the way to your IT training voucher is quick and easy: Contact us! We will create an official training offer for you that you can then submit to the employment agency, the Jobcenter or the employment office.
Step 3
Apply for the training voucher
Now it's down to the nitty-gritty: With the training offer we have created, you now go back to your responsible office and apply for your training voucher. As soon as it is approved, you can start your new career with us. We look forward to seeing you!
Final projects at Neue Fische & SPICED
Over 6,300 neuefische x SPICED alumni have completed a final project at the end of their studies. Join our successful graduates, and build a project that will make your CV stand out. Have a look at past projects and be inspired.

The Bootcamp is ideal for career changers, graduates and professionals from fields such as data analytics, software, finance or marketing who want to get into data processing. You don't have to be a developer - we will provide you with preparatory material. If you are passionate about data and want to build scalable solutions, this Bootcamp is for you.
By the end of the Bootcamp, you’ll know how to design, build, and manage data pipelines and infrastructure using industry-standard tools and platforms like Python, SQL, AWS, Docker, Spark, and Kafka. You’ll be able to automate workflows, handle large datasets, and deploy cloud-native solutions. You’ll also complete a capstone project to showcase your skills and prepare for the AWS Certified Data Engineer – Associate exam.
Graduates of the Data Engineering Bootcamp are qualified for roles such as Data Engineer, Cloud Data Engineer, ETL Developer, Big Data Engineer, or Platform Engineer. As more companies invest in cloud infrastructure and data-driven decision-making, demand for skilled data engineers continues to grow across industries. You'll be equipped for positions in startups, large enterprises as well as cloud-focused teams.
Starting salaries in Germany are around €40,000, with the median being around €70,000. With experience, specialization in tools like AWS or Spark can increase your earning potential quickly.
That's a smart place to begin! Ideally, you’d want to have a foundation in basic programming and database concepts—even a bit of self-study can go a long way. Here's what will set you up for success:
Python or SQL basics: Spend 4–6 weeks learning syntax, loops, functions, and basic SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY). This preps you to dive straight into data pipelines without stopping for fundamentals.
Data concepts: Familiarize yourself with tables, normalization, indexing, and the difference between OLTP and OLAP systems.
Light scripting: Practice reading/writing CSV files, JSON parsing, and basic exception handling in Python or Java.
Optional but helpful: Command-line comfort and a bit of Git. These help later when you're building pipelines and tracking versions.
Arriving with those basics means your cohort won’t sprint ahead while you’re still learning loops—so prep is a worthy investment. 💡
But even if you don’t have the time to prepare before the bootcamp, there’s no reason to worry. Just expect to invest a lot of time and effort when you start, and with the right mindset and dedication, you’ll ace the bootcamp and set off on an exciting new career path.
Using German vouchers is game-changing when upscaling for data careers. Here’s how to navigate both prominent funding sources:
Bildungsprämie: For individuals earning under €20,000 net per year. You receive up to €500 for eligible courses—check the BMBF-funded website to confirm. Many bootcamps are pre-approved, but ask to verify their Kursnet listing.
Bildungsgutschein: For those unemployed or in vocational transition, issued by Agentur für Arbeit. Apply with a clear upskilling plan and a course proposal from our Data Engineering Bootcamp - our admissions team will be happy to help you throughout this process. If approved, you'll often get full coverage of tuition and even travel costs.
Stack them: Combine both if eligible—for instance, use Bildungsprämie for preparatory e-learning and a Bildungsgutschein for the main bootcamp.
Documentation: When meeting your case worker, bring your ID, residence permit, or proof of income; plus a motivational letter explaining your career pivot. Better: highlight in-demand areas like AWS/Airflow expertise to justify investment.
Effective use of this dual approach allows you to keep financial pressure low and focus fully on building data pipelines, not worrying about costs. 🎯
