"Learning the basics of Front End Development in 10 weeks!"
The Front End Development course at GA was everything I expected and more. Kareem and the TA Robert did a very good job keeping the class focused on learning and enjoying it at the same time. They were helpful and listened to the classes questions about... Read More

"Learn by Doing w GA!"
General Assembly's Digital Marketing Circuit gave me great tools to better "walk the walk" (and not just talk the walk) as a world-class marketer strategist in an ever-evolving digital environment. The curriculums and exercises ("homework") allowed me... Read More

"FEWD needs improvement, data analytics was better"
FEWD was weak. It's very hard to follow an instructor on the tiny screens at GA. And my 26 year old instructor was more interested in showing us how smart he was than teaching. Also lack of written examples or more online training to reinforce what we... Read More

"Kind Environment; Not Entirely Helpful"
I feel that GA instructors are working professionals whose skills in teaching meet what I expect from an educational course. Given that, I do think GA is a cool environment and there are things you can get out of it, but the pressure of how expensive... Read More

"Amazing Instructor but Awful Job Support"
It was great to have an amazing instructor who had many years of experience in the field and in teaching. The curriculum is project based that it allowed students to have about 5 projects at the end of the day. We had the privilege to have two TAs (or... Read More

"Great for getting my feet wet!"
I completed a Data Analytics course at GA in NYC. I went to GA since I was interested in entering a Data Analytics/Data Science Graduate program, however, wasn't completely sure I wanted to commit.
My experience confirmed my uneasiness of going into the... Read More
My instructor was working full-time within the data analytics field which is what convinced me to switch careers. Her teaching wasn't 100%; sometimes she had difficulty explaining/verbalizing thoughts and reasoning behind processes/theory, but on the whole, was decent. My TA was able to communicate more clearly and help with the issues I encountered during my projects and was also able to give a different perspective to techniques as she was working full-time in the field. I think that's what separates GA from other types of continuing education programs - everyone is working and this is supplementary to gain new skills for career development.
The one downside since I attended GA part-time - I didn't have access to the talent discovery/career opportunity support
