Ironhack

the UX/UI bootcamp has been an amazing learning experience. The teacheing staff has been incredible giving us all the lessons and tools we needed to autonomously run design sprints. I strongly reccomend ironhack bootcamp, but be prepared: it's really... Read More intense. But at the end, isn't what we want?

When I started I was a little disappointed but then I was surprised, it’s actually great and very intense, if you’re not into that, it’s not for you, maybe take the half time bootcamp not full time, I would advise it to people who are interested but please... Read More be prepared and read a little before, as for students already from a design background might be a little weird for you as it is made more for all types of backgrounds, but it’s great overall, as for the one I did, heads up they spoke French sometimes because well duh it’s Paris, I do understand French though, took me two weeks to fully adapt but I do understand so if that’s a problem for you I don’t know maybe check little more before registration depends on the teacher, the teacher did his best but sometimes some words slipped and not all the students are as fluent so yea. But the bootcamp overall was a good experience, I experienced it in hybrid mode online and I can attend physically, it wasn’t that bad, sometimes annoying for working in groups but it was a super interesting experience, as for the bootcamp gained knowledge, I feel there is room for improvement but doesn’t mean it’s bad, it’s actually very good but still can be improved further and it will be top of the top to be honest, the staff are super super friendly, man I can’t emphasise how good and amazing they were, as a new expat that was very important to me and so were the students, my design squad hopefully we will stay friends for life, the campus man, I want to live there, top tbh top, that’s all pros I guess, I’ll add up some cons shortly but overall I loved the experience and gained knowledge, anyone with previous knowledge, throw that aside and learn from the start then connect, you’ll never learn enough with a half filled cup, empty the cup, learn then mix it up and flood yourself with knowledge. As for me tbh, I come from a design background so the first two weeks was very hard to work with others who knew nothing so be patient we are all there to learn. Another thing is the hybrid mode, I personally loved it, if it’s any problem to you, you can attend there and do online together but if you’re not a fan then wait until it goes back to normal hopefully soon crossed fingers. As for the bootcamp all in all, I would advise people who want such thing and have some problems committing to study on their own specially, this will be good for you, plus you’ll be certified. My only problem tbh, might not be my only one, it is while I’m writing this because just top of my mind, I know it’s long sorry hehe, the money, kind of expensive tbh specially that I got a couple of promotions and I wasn’t allowed to apply them together, some people paid more, some paid less, some didn’t pay at all they got full scholarships, which felt weird to be honest, but alas we were there to learn so doesn’t matter but it would have felt way better if it was a little cheaper than it is now, at least that’s my judgment, I come from another country where salaries are way less and the economy barely equates so might be only me but my opinion haa. Anyway to conclude, have a lovely week and put effort to be set up for success. xo

The UX UI Design bootcamp is a great way to train yourself and improve your skills in both UX and UI. Thanks to several projects I was able to manage a brief and to deliver a good work, it includes both theory and practical courses and the methodology... Read More is real great !

I live in Paris and I wanted an international experience in data analytics. Ironhack gave me that, the educational team is international, the students are international and the course is done in English. Couldn't ask for better. Thanks to Katya, Kathryn,... Read More and Morgane for their dedication to helping students with career support and for the smile you give to us every day! I learned a lot during these 9 weeks about the job and made a lot of connections with other specialties (web development and UX/UI). If you hesitate, I can assure you that Ironhack Paris is the place to be to get connected and to get serious training.

We have now the capacity of learning fast and well, the only thing is to find the first job as a junior is pretty hard . The teaching skills of this school is pretty perfect , this is a thing that is important to me especially in a society like this one.... Read More

I've been wanting to learn how to code for a long time now, tried different courses online on my own but I was always feeling like there's something missing in the explanation. That's where Ironhack steps in, of course you can learn to code on your own... Read More but not this fast and not this effective. The way the courses are broken apart and organized makes you understand the flow of a web application and where to look if there's a bug for example. At first it doesn't feel like you're getting it and you're not just "at the right place" but once you practice and you get to the projects phase everything in your head starts to line up and make sense. If you're living in France and want to learn how to code fast with the latest technologies, you're at the right place. The course is heavily focused on JavaScript so you can understand the other frameworks more fluently. My suggestion for improvements? Do a review of all the Labs(exercises) that we do after each class.

I joined Ironhack with the project to change careers and become a web developper. It was an intense and exhausting ten weeks, but I don't regret it at all! The courses were very interesting and are in sync with what companies are looking for at the moment,... Read More the teachers and teacher assistants are great and very helpful, so are the program manager and the career coach. I'm really glad to have such a lovely career coach who will help us in our job search and motivate us! And I met a lot of great people during this bootcamp, as a bonus!

Going into the Ironhack experience I had minimal Web Development experience, but this bootcamp gave me more of a well rounded knowledge about programming and the right programming practices than I could have ever imagined. I'd definitely say that the... Read More most valuable skills I gained from this bootcamp was how important it is in this industry to plan and pseudo code, and definitely working with others on various projects. I couldn't be more grateful for the help I got from my instructors, Marcos (https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcos-palacios-iii/), Sandra (https://www.linkedin.com/in/a-boskovic/), and Stefan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/cule219/). If I ever was falling behind or felt like I wasn't getting it they were always willing to take the extra time to help me understand what was going on and the best way to approach the problem. After getting through the bootcamp came the fun part of job hunting and it was an extremely painless process thanks to being shown how to job hunt correctly, and I owe that to my outcomes manager Brito (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dbrito1/). He was extremely thorough and provided me with tons of resources to make the job finding process easy and simple. I know I couldn't have gotten the job I have today if it weren't for Brito and his help/connections. He always held me accountable and that's the most important part of the whole process as an up and coming Developer. Overall Ironhack was the best decision of my life, I went from someone who was working in the food industry and coding as a hobby to working a full time job as a Developer for a great company and I wouldn't change a thing.

Here are my impressions a few days after completing the web development bootcamp at Ironhack in Paris: Before the bootcamp started I had to complete a pre-work course which is a series of online lessons and exercises to learn the basics of HTML, CSS and... Read More Javascript. 100+ hours of work later, I had already learned so much that I was under the impression that the bootcamp was going to be a walk in the park. I couldn’t be more wrong! Although the pre-work seemed a lot, I had only started to scratch the surface of what is needed to become a full stack developer. The bootcamp is only 9 weeks long but it felt more like 9 months because if you want to follow the pace you have to dedicate all your time and energy to it (nights and weekends included!). The structure of the bootcamp is as follows: every morning you learn new concepts and skills, every afternoon you do a guided project - called "lab" - to put the lesson into practice. The labs are challenging and put you in real life work situations so it’s a fantastic way to learn. There are sometimes solo labs, sometimes group labs so you can practice working on your own as well as with a team of developers. At the end of every 2 weeks, you have 1 week to develop a project of your own with a couple of teammates to test your skills and start building your portfolio. During the entire bootcamp you get the support of super skilled teachers. They always look for the right balance between helping you when you get stuck on a problem and letting you find the solution for yourself so that you do not only learn to blindly apply concepts but genuinely understand them. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Ironhack. Yes, it’s been intense but I could not have learned this much in such a short time with another format. Thank you to all the Ironhack staff and to the students of the web dev cohort 102 for making this bootcamp so enjoyable!
