Ironhack

I'm ready to start working as a UX / UI Designer.

Before beginning the Ironhack bootcamp, I knew precious little about UX and UI. I'd done some preliminary research on my own (thank you Coursera free online classes), and had muddled through the pre-work assignments. But I was basically a blank slate. I just wanted to learn, and begin my new career.

Ironhack gave me just that. This is an INTENSE program, make no mistake about it. I often arrived early and stayed late (sometimes until 10pm) - I think that made a difference. But the entire ambiance of Ironhack encouraged me to do my absolute best and give my all - so I did. And it really, really paid off.

The bootcamp starts a bit slow, with a couple theory-heavy weeks. However, everything always comes back to hands-on activities,...

I came to Ironhack with almost ZERO knowledge about web dev and I am amazed with my development in only two months. One of the most disruptive experiences in my life. I also feel like i am at home inside the school. Everyone is so warm and friendly and our teachers are amazing!!
I strongly recommend this experience for anyone who intends to enter in this amazing world of technology. You'll be amazed with what you are truly capable of! :-)

If you are looking for a quick and efficient way to learn web development, Ironhack is a perfect place to go to. After only few weeks, you know what JavaScript, Node.js, React.js, Express, MongoDB, Mongoose and much more. You will learn to work in pairs or group and learn how to code effectively. I already had some knowledge about the taught topics prior to the bootcamp - that helped a lot as the course is really intense - but I still needed to consolidate my skills, acquire new ones and focus full-time on coding. Not only did the bootcamp match those expectations, it also allowed me to land my dream job in little more than a month since graduation and it was a great investment for my future.

I have always wanted to start a career in tech but wasn't sure how to start until I found Ironhack. After months of research, I decided to do a 9-week bookcamp in UX design at Ironhack in Miami. This program gave me the tools I needed to go out there and start searching for a job as a designer. Coming from a hospitality background It wasn't easy, It was very challenging, to the point that I felt once or twice like walking out. However, I followed through the whole program and was totally worth it. The facility was amazing, open 24 hours for students with multiple different areas to work on projects and networking events. The staff was also always friendly and available to you at anytime. If you are looking for a career change or learn more about UX or even Web Development I highly sugg...

About Me

I worked in a tech company where I started to do basic coding (VBA). It peaked my interest, so I began learning on my own by taking courses online. I realized I loved it and needed to quit my job to learn and deep dive in it. I chose Ironhack because of the very up to date courses they have (React, Node.js).

The Bootcamp

It is very intense but also very fulfilling! You learn a lot from 9 to 7pm for 9 weeks and even more during project weeks. If you want to do it, be prepared to dedicate 100% in it.

The bootcamp is seperated in 3 modules where you have 2 weeks of lessons+exercises and 1 week of project. It is crazy what you can achieve doing in some little time!

Teacher

Our teacher (Nizar) was great on all aspects: very knowledgeable with great teaching skill...

I will be honest: joining Ironhack was the best decision in my life. After studying psychology in Madrid, I decided to join this bootcamp in Miami to guide my life towards coding. I just wanted to find a job where I could code 24/7. And, thanks to Ironhack, I found it. It really works! It does not matter your background. Nevertheless, this is not magic. You have to work, A LOT. But that's a good part too!

It is a very complete bootcamp (I did the Full Time Web Development). They teach all the frontend basics (HTML, CSS and JS) and a lot of useful backend tools as well (Node.js, MongoDB, Mongoose...). Also, they focus on React, that is the top 1 technology for frontend developers.

About the staff, they are really amazing! Also the building is very cool; they have free beer (that i...

When I was looking for a way to change my career I remember reading something like "Ironhack is a life changing experience" in a review.

3 months later this apply to me. This experience changed my life the the way I wanted to. Every expectations I had were met and even more.

After 9 weeks you are able to code and build an app using the MERN stack (Mongo, Express, React and Node) and learn by yourself what will make you a good developer. And also to find a job and begin your new carreer.

Everything is put in place to help you to succeed: from the main teacher (a high skilled, always helping, pedagogue and friendly guy) to the carreer manager (a high skilled, always helping and friendly woman), the working environment (a 24/7 office with an astonishing rooftop including coffee, t...

Thanks to Ironhack, I was able to complete my skills, particularly in User Experience Design. Ui designer, this training also challenged me. A real challenge of 9 weeks surrounded by competent teachers, passionate and determined to lead us to success.

My class was just outstanding, creative with people from different backgrounds with very rich experiences. These 9 weeks were spent in a creative, professional, good mood and daily cares. We are all in touch today!

Ironhack is one of my most fabulous experiences in my professional life. It allowed me to go further in my projects, to gain confidence in myself and to dare! Today I do not hesitate to defend my projects with customers because I fully believe that the method that Ironhack has taught us is the best.

If you are looking for a quick and efficient way to learn web development, Ironhack is a perfect place to go to. After only few weeks, you know what JavaScript, Node.js, React.js, Express, MongoDB, Mongoose and much more are... And you don't only learn how to code but also to work in team and work with pair programming that are also good skills to have in your future.

The staff in Ironhack is nice and very helpful. You'll have a good environment to work in and for the days you're struggling, there is always someone caring and to whom you can speak.

On top of it, during a bootcamp, you meet people in a very intense moment of your life. These people have the same interest than you, so you make lots of friends and you begin your professional new life with a good network.

If you...

Ironhack was an excellent experience.

It is very intense - I thought at first they were exaggerating or trying to scare me, but it really was very difficult to keep up with all the materials. Then again I suppose it's necessary if one really wants to become a developer in such a short time.

There were many exercises but no tests - it's not like the academy. The only test is if you can find a job or not afterwards, and I'm super happy to say I found a job right away.

Thanks Iroonhack. Proud and happy to be a part of your graduate community. :)

Ironhack is something that changes you forever. I know it's hard to believe it but I'll do my best to explain my point of view.
I joined the full-time web development bootcamp to make a career change and it was a complete success: I went from being an engineer in another country to being a web developer in France in a matter of months!
I already had some knowledge about the taught topics prior to the bootcamp - that helped a lot as the course is really intense - but I still needed to consolidate my skills, acquire new ones and focus full-time on coding.

I am originally from Miami but I decided to make a 180 career change from two different sectors and also get a change of scenery so I decided to do Ironhack overseas in Europe. Ironhack has been more than what I hoped it could ever be. The Spain Staff was more than welcoming and every lesson was understandable and to the point. You will stress a bit during this course but it wouldn't be a boot camp if you didn't right? more than this, they help you shift the way you think, the way you think of code logic and overall help you grow as a person. I went in as a stranger and left with a sense of family with my whole class. We still speak to this day even if I'm a sea away. I was a bit skeptical about coming back and doing the hiring week in Miami since I didn't know the Ironhack students he...

I joined Ironhacks full-time web-development program because like most students - i was looking to make a career change and saw the great reviews that ironhack had received. The experience i had certainly lived up tot the expectations i had based on the reviews. The campus is very nice - they provide food/coffe and all the necessities in dedicating 9 hours of your day 5 days a week there. The entire staff is very helpful and friendly. They also host networking/social events for students and people within the industry.

The ciririculum was on point as well - broken into three sections you learn everything including JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Express, React, and various JavaScript libraries as well. They base the cirriculum on the current demands of companies who are hiring developers. Ever...

I completed the UX/UI full-time program in Miami, FL in 2018.

I did a lot of research, soul-searching, and self-teaching prior to the program. In general, I had a positive experience with the program, but it has its share of pros and cons, and would benefit some more than others.

One of the best parts of the program is the classroom/workshop setting. It was challenging to make much progress learning on my own despite having several friends who are already experienced UX designers. The opportunity to connect with others who are also looking to break into the field, share ideas and learnings with them, and build a portfolio alongside them, was invaluable.

The other is the job placement support. At the end of the program, students are able to attend a hiring fair, which is...

I was super impressed with the quality of this course. In short: very dedicated teachers, tons of support, weekly feedback surveys (where they actually take your feedback into account!), and lots of perks like networking and informational events, free beer, coffee, AWESOME people, etc.

What I came in with:
My background is in Linguistics and Media Design (graphic and web design), and I decided to expand on my web design skills by actually learning how to build websites. I'd had a little experience coding in HTML and CSS before I started the course, but had no programming experience and only a little knowledge of how the internet works. The bootcamp really kicked my butt!! It felt the entire time that I was not keeping up as much as I'd have liked even though I was spending every ...

I joined IronHack on October 22nd. Today is Jan 31st and I already have a job as software developer.

Friendly IronHack staff helps you to build several skills, not only programming. Most important ones were job hunting, interviewing skills, and of course JavaScript. These 3 can easily help you to land your first job in tech. Building provides several types of coffee, amazing roof top, BEER after 5pm if you are 21+.

So, for just 2 months I got what I was hunting for.

I would recommend IronHack everyone who is looking for career change!

I did a lot of research before joining Ironhack and while there are courses out there that teach similar content and/or the information is open sourced it is not being taught by a UX professional like David Fast. He presented the information in a clear manner and incorporated examples that resonated with the class. Most importantly at Ironhack you learn by doing, so it is not just a series of lectures but actual practical tips that you can take with you after you leave the course. For the most part I truly appreciated everything I learned from the curriculum, except for the crammed week of html/css which could have been structured better. However, the Ironhack team was open to feedback and provided some additional insights into a tool that was not originally included in the curriculum.

the Best choice i ever had

I attended the October - December bootcamp in Berlin, the staff was amazing, installations clean and modern with fast internet, free 🍻, ☕️ and 🍵 everyday. The program is well structured mixing lots of practice and theory. By the end of the bootcamp you will have 3 projects of your own to show your potential employers, which is great.

About me… I am an Industrial Engineer who worked at a “corp” as an executive data analyst (yay so much fun!). Although I’ve always enjoyed taking part in the creation of products people can use, so I was never happy with this job or career path I have chosen.

I was first introduced to coding back in 2015 when I purchased a few online courses, it was then that I learned this is what I wanted to do for a living. After a few months of learning by myself...

I first heard of Ironhack while in my uber ride and I was looking in the app to see that Uber was partnering up with Ironhack to promote a scholarship, after applying and studying a lot I got it and enrolled for the part-time UX course. It was the most challenging and awarding 24 weeks I've ever done in as a student. But the hard work was worth it. They really teach you the value of the tech field and everything that is learned in the classroom is applied in real-world scenarios. The classroom environment is a great inspiration with projects collaboration with fellow colleagues and a fantastic location to easily get a publix sub a block away. The staff is helpful and very knowledgeable about the coursework and it really builds up the fundamentals important enough to start a career with ...
