Ironhack

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!

In a nutshell I would say that Ironhack is a great opportunity for those who want a real career change. I've enrolled in the UX UI Bootcamp at a time when I was a bit stuck in my career, shifting from Event Management to becoming a freelance webdesigner.... Read More Because I didn't have any proper knowledge of Design, I looked for courses and the more I discovered about the UX UI subject, the more I understood that I needed to learn skills in this field. However, I didn't want to go back to long studies (I have already done 6 years of university and didn't want to go back to square 1). I came across Ironhack's intensive bootcamp in UX UI Design and decided to enroll after attending a Zoom presentation. Pros: - intensive course that will give you all the tools and methodology to succeed in your future career - Projects carried out during the whole bootcamp to apply and practice your newly earned knowledge - Teaching team of quality who have professional experiences in the field - Fully English course (a real plus when you know that English is almost mandatory in the job world) - Learn by doing method - real coaching done for job hunting Cons: - that the course doesn't last longer in the end! You get so caught up in your projects and with the new friends you make along the way that you don't want this experience to end :D

The bootcamp rythm is very speed but hereby the most important outcomes : - you don’t lose one year at the university, instead you can look up for a job straight away after 3 months - the high standard quality courses - the learning by doing method used... Read More during all the bootcamp which is (for me) the most efficient to get the best knowledges and know-hows.

Without quitting my job, i was looking for a change in my life and my career , Ironhack gave me this opportunity and even more! 6 projects in sprint mode, 400h of intense courses with a team of teachers and coaches ready to give you all their knowledge,... Read More work with real professionals, built your portfolio , expanding your skills, support you in your career and job hunting... so much more than just online courses, it’s a family thing!! I am now a ux/ui product designer ready thanks to IRONHACK

I had worked in finance in London for a number of years and was getting fed up with it. I was moving to Paris and used it as an opportunity change my career into something I truly enjoyed. I chose Ironhack off the back of reviews I found online and I... Read More didn't regret my decision one bit. It's a tough ten weeks, but very very rewarding. The teaching is great as they're very supportive but also really challenge you. The course is split into three modules: front-end, back-end and full-stack. Each of these have a project at the end where you have a chance to really show off your new skills and each of these were a chance for me to push myself and create something I was really proud of. It would have great to have done this course without the covid-restrictions but they way it has been modified to take these into account was very successful. There were some occasions where I thought the cohort was slightly too large but overall this didn't affect my experience much. My progress from this course exceeded my expectations and I really feel ready to start my new life as a developer.

I decided to join Ironhack after thinking about changing career for a bit of time. It was intense and I really think the more you work before the bootcamp, the more profitable the experience is. You will see the lesson/theory in the morning, and then... Read More practice all afternoon (and most likely all night as well haha!). There are teacher assistants to help you, and a nice balance of solo and group projects. I think one of the most important things these days would be the adaptation to covid-related issues. The bootcamp was flexible (possible to go to the campus, or to work remotely whenever you want), and this gave me the opportunity to save 3 hours+ of commute everyday, so I could focus on the labs and rest. I think that's a very important point if you're living a bit far from the school! Good luck!

During this bootcamp I learned so much in such a short notice, I never could do that with any self learning course. You learn very valuable skills you only learn by actually doing, trying, falling, rising and working together. No matter what your entry... Read More level is, the mentors always were sure you were not left behind and were very patient and willing to explain it until the whole class understood. I felt always very safe to ask any questions, which is very important to me. Instead of the bootcamp on location, I attent the remote cohort. At Ironhack they really know how to organized remote classes. It was a good balance between classes, tasks and self learning. Even remote, every one was always involved in the classes throughout the day. And there was no room for slacking :) , which I also very much like. Make sure you do not plan anything at all these three months. It will be 100% bootcamp which I was grateful for afterwards. Besides learning, we also build up a bond within the class. In the end it felt like friends that I still speak after the bootcamp was done. The Ironhack community is a big pro of (and after) the bootcamp. I thought about it for a long time, and just did it. I left comfortable en secure job for this bootcamp, and did not regret it at all.

Many times in life, we have the pleasure of coming across an opportunity to change our lives completely. Less than a year ago, I had just arrived in Miami with only one certainty. Despite my interest in the field, I have neither the skills nor the knowledge... Read More to pursue a career in tech. Through the influence of my dearest friend, I build up the courage to start a UX/UI Design Bootcamp at Ironhack. In January of 2021, I began my journey in an intense boot camp, with the most creative and passionate students and teachers I had ever met. Suddenly, something that seemed impossible, started becoming true. I was understanding, practicing, and becoming well versed in the best design practices and tools. All of this was thanks to the incredible staff and program that the school offers. There are many forms of indoctrination, different practices, millions of schools, but Ironhack creates an environment of accelerated learning beyond comparison. In addition, the school offers impeccable support in career services. In my 9th week at the Ironhack, I was offered a job as a UX/UI Designer and was able to position myself, thanks to the support of Daniel Brito, my career coach. In a nutshell, Ironhack is the perfect place for everyone and anyone, who desires to start a career in tech. I had an amazing experience and in short, time have already started seeing the benefits of my time invested in the course. Ironhack showed me that my only certainty was a fallacy.

I graduated from Ironhack Miami's full-time web development bootcamp this March and I can't recommend it enough. I was very hesitant at first to join any sort of bootcamp. I looked into it a few years ago and compared them all. I weighed pros and cons... Read More and in the end always thought I could make it without the help of a bootcamp so I just waited and pretended that I would start the job search eventually but two years later I was still unemployed. I got an email from OfferUp announcing their partnership with Ironhack and it piqued my interest. I gave it a shot and won a partial scholarship which was enough to offset the interest fees from the loan. I was also able to get approved for the loan by one of their financing partners despite having a very poor credit score and high credit utilization which was a blessing! As the title of my review says, I had already been programming since I was a teenager. I've worked on several multiplayer game mods and even created games, programs and websites of my own. Being self-taught is great! There was one big drawback however; I could not find a job. My resume was awful, I did not know how to network nor the true importance of networking. I had no clue how to sell myself or how to talk to recruiters. It was obvious to me that joining a bootcamp would not make me gain any significant technical skills considering my extensive background. I already had a fair understanding of the material being taught and could have brushed up those skills within a week or two. So why did I join Ironhack? Simply for the one and only Daniel Brito from Ironhack's Career services. Throughout the bootcamp, I was able to schedule one-on-one meetings with him in order to discuss my career goals as well as get advice on how to approach certain companies and very good interview preparation help. I always had so many questions prepared for him yet I only needed to ask him one question and he would predict my next 2-3 questions and answer them in advance. He really knows his stuff! As soon as Brito walked us through updating our LinkedIn profiles, I was assaulted by recruiters left and right and didn't know what to do. He pointed me in the right direction, told me what to watch out for and what to expect. He gave me the confidence that I needed to aim high and shoot for the positions I didn't see myself achieving for another 5 years. Thanks to his guidance, I landed a job two weeks before graduating as a DevOps engineer for an amazing company who works with what is in my opinion the best tech stack you can have in 2021. Compared to other bootcamps that say you don't pay until you get hired (or worse, the ones that take a percentage of your salary!) Ironhack was the only clear viable choice for me. I knew full well going into it that I was there for Brito first and foremost and to make great connections second. I've created some relationships that I hope to carry with me for life not only with fellow students but with my teacher Niko as well. I can't say enough about the teacher I had. Honestly I have never seen a teacher so passionate when it comes to his student's success. Most teachers would traditionally stop and go MIA as soon as the clock turns over or your time in the bootcamp is up, but not at Ironhack. Niko and I actually started a passion project together which is aimed at helping students stay in touch and keep learning and connecting with others even post-graduation. I think that speaks for itself in the amount of care that goes into your learning experience. You'll never feel like you're just a number on a spreadsheet that needs to get a grade. If you are in the same situation I was four months ago meaning you are passionate about code, are self taught and have been struggling to enter the professional world or are simply afraid of the financial burden of having to take out a loan, take it from me. I went from earning 16k/year from self-employment income to now earning six figures doing the job I've been dreaming about ever since I was a teenager. I'll be receiving my first paycheck two days from now and I still can't believe it. All it took was one small leap of faith and trusting reviews from another course review website to completely change my life not just in this moment but for the rest of it.
