Established in early 2011 as an innovative community in New York City for entrepreneurs and startup companies, General Assembly is an educational institution that transforms thinkers into creators through education in technology, business and design at over 25 campuses across four continents.
During the 2020 hiring shutdown, GA's students, instructors, and career coaches never lost focus, and the KPMG-validated numbers in their Outcomes report reflect it. *For students who graduated in 2020 — the peak of the pandemic — 74.4% of those who participated in GA's full-time Career Services program landed jobs within six months of graduation. General Assembly is proud of their grads + teams' relentless dedication and to see those numbers rising.

"Avoid"
Pros - great sales pitch Cons - weak curriculum and no job support afterwards. I was told they'd help you find a job in the discipline of the course you took. They don't. They set me up with some 3rd party who didn't know anything about the partnership.... Read More

"Overpriced - Incredible instructors, not enough time for some concepts, Outcomes career support nonexistent/useless"
This course was good in that it covered basic concepts and got you coding and building apps in a quick timeframe. As the term bootcamp implies, this is a very fast-paced crash course on key concepts and gets you building quickly, which is an important... Read More

"Project manager for land development engineering projects"
The bootcamp was helpful as someone who is new to the tech industry. It helped me learn the lingo and understand new concepts. It’s very general and doesn’t go into much depth, but it’s a good intro class, just very overpriced for what you actually get.... Read More

"Course materials are good, but I would avoid it at all cost."
First of all, the course materials weren't bad, however, the instructors often just read off from the class materials they did not create (You can tell, some time they are as lost as us). The lead instructors for our class also only have a few years of... Read More

"5-figures to be told to look up everything on Google!"
I’m currently enrolled in the Software Engineering Immersive. It’s terrible. The quality of instruction is totally unacceptable given what we’re paying. We get spoon-fed some easy concepts in class, the we get assignments which vastly exceed anything... Read More

"GA compares to TAFE, Uni Degree and Online Learning"
If you wonder how GA Data Analytics course compared to TAFE and Master of IT, or self-leaning: I happened to have a chance to undertake all four in different ways almost simultaneously. I can responsibly tell you that GA is superb among all. TAFE is probably... Read More
