Ironhack

It has been a great experience to successfully complete this bootcamp that takes place in 9 very intense weeks of hard work and sacrifice. It is intense and you will hear it many times. It's true. But time passes so fast that the 9 weeks will fly by....

I wouldn't tell you to believe anything they tell you in the selection interview, their networking in some countries is 0. Don't choose them for the networking, career week is very basic and I was promised in the interview that they would help me in the... Read More country I was in and they have no idea about the market. The quality of study is very fast, it's not because it's a bootcamp, I did two and at Ironhack they save a lot on teachers, they would need at least 3 TA's and they have 1. The reviews on GitHub are fast, you can apply to jobs with a horrible GitHub and not know it, you leave without knowing how to make a good GitHub. Personally I complained and they ignored me and now that I have a job they write to me to use me as an example and publicity, many people who come out as an example of success in Ironhack did not get help from Ironhack. It is very expensive for what they offer. The career week is about making your CV and very basic things, we didn't improve our GitHub, there was no networking and they didn't help us at all to make a portfolio, I don't recommend it.

La formation demande un investissement fort et régulier pour assimiler correctement tout le contenue de la formation mais la maitrise est au bout du chemin Heureusement un super staff éducatif est là pour nous guider tout du long de la formation et à...

The Ironhack web development was a really nice experience. The classes were online, with the teacher being remote, although some of the students gathered at the school location. But the fact that it was online did not hinder the learning experience in... Read More any way, the teacher and TA were still able to help us efficiently through Zoom. The curriculum tries to be as practical as possible, to better equip for the job market. So it doesn't really give in-depth explanations on computer science, or how the language (in my case JavaScript) actually works, etc... We learned the really basic things we need to know in order to not feel lost when we learn more by ourselves. The program is very practical : when we learned something in the morning, we directly applied it during the lab in the afternoon which helped me learn better. The labs were self-guided and had a lot of instructions, so doing the labs by myself often helped me understand the concepts studied in class better than when the teacher explained it. Doing a 2-months bootcamp doesn't make a solid developer (it's only 2 months) but it gives you enough basics that you can learn by yourself after and quickly become a solid junior developer. At the end of the bootcamp, the teacher told us that the only way to become a good developer is just continuous practice and learning. You have to be willing to go and learn above the bootcamp's basic curriculum if you want a good position fast. Ironhack helps us a lot to get jobs after the bootcamp, which is a major positive note. As someone who was not really knowledgeable on how to get jobs, network, prepare for interviews, especially technical interviews, Ironhack's Careerhack program really helped me. The main obvious con is the price. I had the opportunity to have the Vinted Scholarship and got a financial help from the Ile-de-France region, but if you have to pay full price, it's a budget to keep in consideration. However, if you really want to transition to web development, Ironhack's bootcamp is a good investment in order to transition fast, especially since the course is certified by the State (in France at least).

I started the Remote UXUI course in March 2021 with high expectations and was not disappointed. The course instructor expect a high level of commitment - Which I feel is absolutely justified if you want to change your career. I learned a lot in a short... Read More time and was able to do my regular job on the side. I could always rely on the understanding and support of the course instructors and assistants - I can highly recommend!!!

De manière générale, c'était une super expérience. On peut dire qu'on ne s'est pas ennuyé. Parfois un peu largué et parfois dans la réussite. On se sent prêt désormais. Pour ma part j'ai pu prendre plus de plaisir sur le module 3 car j'avais plus de temps... Read More pour travailler sur les projets. Par contre la career hack je n'ai rien suivi du tout, aucune explication, j'ai du louper un épisode. J'aurais aimé participer même si je n'avais pas fini le stage 0. Surement un problème de communication.

The Web Development Bootcamp (Remote MAR21) was a great experience, that I recommend to everyone wishing to start a career in Tech. Our teachers were excellent and you have indefinite access to your student portal, including the zoom-lessons. Our teacher's... Read More learning methodology was superb and the projects we developed, are an excellent springboard for a career as a developer. Some useful tips for future students are: - Take time for your labs. Don't focus too much on completing them, but understanding what is going on and being playful with them, while trying to find different solutions. - SAVE EVERYTHING. Literally. Organise your bookmarks in folders, modules, topics, etc. and save them all. This will be incredibly helpful after the Bootcamp and even during it. Also, save the links to the lab solutions. This will be become relevant, when you start learning Hooks on ReactJS. - Take Screenshots. You will be thankful for saving some of the ''Mona Lisas'' (:D) of your teachers, specially after a long day of lessons. - Slack. Again, save everything useful. Extremely useful things will be shared there and the messages get automatically deleted after a certain amount of time. Technologies, e-books, websites, libraries, extra lessons, solutions and many, many memes. We actually got a PDF from one of our teachers, with the links and helpers for the whole Bootcamp afterwards. Nonetheless, save it for yourselves independently and download what you can. - Take Breaks and do Sports. Starting from the first project, it's highly possible, that you get a bit addicted with coding. Chill, this is not Bannerlord. - TRUST THE PROCESS. Literally.

An incredible experience despite the Covid, the full remote proved to be a really well organized format by the school and it did not impact our learning at all. The rhythm is very dense but it's worth it, you'll come out of it grown up and with a head... Read More full of new projects. Moreover, I am much more solicited since my graduation. The most difficult part of this experience is when it stops.

It was a great experience to learn a lot, especially as I came from a different background, I think it's good that Ironhack gives everyone the opportunity to do this training. Obviously it depends a lot on the student and their commitment, you have to... Read More be very determined to go for the goal . At the beginning, I found that the pedagogy was not adapted to adults in retraining because they are treated like young students... If I have one point to improve for IRONHACK it is to adapt the pedagogy and communication to all types of people, young and old, because it is not the same way of communicating. The stakes are higher for an adult (more sacrifices, family, job, going back to school etc) Other than that , I think it's a good and complete training !

It was an experience which was quite intense. However, they know it and you can really feel their support. The content of the course was fine the only thing which I find is a shame is that there wasn't any link with the prework. Sometimes they did go... Read More over some of the content we had to go through the prework during the class which is a bit of a waste as we could have more time on some other content if we didn't.
