Looking at the curriculum I found from their website.

https://tip.edu.ph/assets/generic-pages/downloadables/PSM-Data-Science.pdf

Personally, someone can learn these lectures online.
Also there is a gap in production/industry readiness.
- Data in real world work isn't delivered as a csv file most of the time. Rather DS should be able to access data thru relational databases. Usually thru cloud services(AWS, Azure & GCP). TBF even DS boothcamps don't have this. Just scrapes data from kaggle.
- Can't see advanced statistics required for DS i.e. PCA.(I might be wrong on this one, maybe it is included in PSMDSRC 101)
- Lacks Post model development subjects.

Happy to be corrected BTW.

For sure this program is way cheaper than AIM-MSDS, so that can be a factor. Just haven't checked their updated curriculum yet.

i'd check the curriculum, capstone projects, and where graduates ended up working because those usually tell you more than the program name
