Ubiqum Code Academy

Regarding my background, I am a chemist and I have never programmed before. In the begining of the year 2017, I started to be interested to learn programming as I found out that the job market is digitalising and there are lot of positions in IT sector and I struggled to find a job in my sector. However, the studies were very costly but I found out the posibility to get the scholarship with UBIQUM and I was selected to start the course with 24 other young people from diferent backgrounds. The profesors Thomas and Gisela were very kind, explaining everything from zero in very simple way. We have realised several web and mobile app projects and learned HTML, CSS and Java Script. I am very satisfied with the course and I recommend UBIQUM for everyone who wants to change or to learn pr...

I did the data analytics online course at Ubiqum Code Academy.

The methodology encourages you to face real world problems and solve them in the same way problems are solved in companies.

At the same time you learn the tools to face data analysis and how to communicate results and insights to your workmates and how data gives new opportunities to your company.

It is the perfect path to be able to work right after finishing the course.

In addition you get help from professionals to prepare your cv, your Linkedin and your future job interviews!

In 5 months, you can learn basics of data mining and machine learning using the methodology "learning by doing". A nice work space for learning basics in R programming, statistics, machine learning, and also developing data analysis knowledge from a business point of view, with the help of your mentors.

Es un curso muy completo, con metodología learn by doing y mucha información condensada y sintetizada. Estoy muy contento con los resultados obtenidos hasta ahora y se lo recomendaría a cualquiera que quisiese iniciarse en este mundillo.

El curso en Ubiqum está siendo una muy buena experiencia. El hecho de tener buenos profesores y una metodología centrada en el alumno (flexible, adaptada a las necesidades y circunstancias de cada persona) convierten Ubiqum en un buen entorno para aprender disfrutando.

I was looking for a system to learn web-development but never had time, proper tools and plan of attack to start studying by my self/on-line platforms. Ubiqum offered the ideal conditions and I could start from zero, with basic and important topics such as HTML5, CSS and JavaScript among others in the front-end web development bootcamp. I would say that Ubiqum is a great code academy for those that are looking for some learn by doing experience, good environment and guidance to give the first steps into this career.

Personally, I've long wanted to learn the HTML5-CSS3-Javascript stack. But I could not find the motivation to reach my goals. In a few months in Ubiqum I have managed to make a great leap in my learning, with concepts of Vanilla.js, UI pattern, MVC, DOM, BOM and many others ...

Now if I feel that I am advancing and every time I have more desire to take a new step in Front-end to get closer to the world of work.

The Method, the mentors, the people around the project help you to learn what a professional data analyst is. Very successfully method. 100% recommended, It has driven my life to data analyst.

The main objective of this course is to learn how to solve the problems that you find during the course (This is known as learning by doing). Mi experience in Ubiqum is better than I expected. I learn the main concepts of CSS, HTML, JS, Java and other technologies that we saw and I think that I could find a really good opportunity.

I'm on my fourth month with Ubiqum and i learned quiker , easier and better how to develop on frontend. I could see what some of my friends learned on official schools or other type of courses and i think the way you learn with UBIQUM is far better. Had also an amazing luck to have amazing teachers and very god team mates !

I'm about to finish the Java Developer course where I've had the opportunity to implement some technologies that I already knew, such as HTML, CSS and Javascript, together with new knowledges related with Back-end absolutely new for me (Java). Until now I had just developed webs with Wordpress and made some little exercises with HTML, CSS and Javascript, but I had never implemented all these technologies together in real projects like real life, so this is the best point of Ubiqum for me: you work like you will do in a real company. Mentors are nice and help you when you are blocked (some more than others ;D) and they help you with finding job process. This is the other strong point in Ubiqum: you don't leave the school until you have the job. This school compromise was the point why I ...

It has been an amazing experience. With the "Learn By Doing" Methodology you learn programming really fast while developing real projects. The mentors and staff members are the best out there, really giving their all to help you in any way they can. This Bootcamp is a huge succes, and seeing how fast they are growing only proves that. I would undoubedly suggest this bootcamp to anyone interested in learning programming to secure a job in the future.

Coding or programming, whichever way you like to refer to it, is still something relatively new in our world. Therefore it makes sense that the way of learning this new skill is also new and more modern. Gone are the days where you sit and listen to a teacher ramble on without any practical experience. Here at Ubiqum, you start from the first day on your own, and with the methodology of learning by doing. This allows you to grow your skills in all senses, and without following a set path. It allows you to learn how to research for your problems, and how to solve your own issues. Of course, the mentors are always going to be there to solve any major issues or problems, and they are especially helpful in those frustrating moments.

All in all, it's a great course, I met great people an...

The concept about Learn by Doing is amazing, you can become a professional if you really want and if you dedicade yourself in that, in this case Full-stack Developer.

I would highly recommend Ubiqum to anyone looking to further their tech education.
It's also great for those who don't come from a technical background, but keep in mind that you'll need to overcome frustration when things don't come easily.
You'll gain experience thanks to the methodology "learning by doing", with great mentors and a class full of other students with the same problems and questions.
The first projects help to understand the core concepts of programming, and then the course becomes more challenging. Great investment!

At the begining, the methodology of learning by doing was a bit dificult for me, so new and so many new concepts, but you can see the results since the first moment:the "learn by doing" method makes you feel like you are in a role play game in a real business, offering real solutions to real problems.Every day you learn something new, and even is it dificult, the mentors helps you and aims you to follow working on it.

Moreover, after the first month you start to make some coaching sessions to help you get rid of insecurities and to ease your entrance in the job market.
Finally, the academy itself helps you with the CV and Linkedin and by hiring another company specialized in job finding in order to maximize your chances to find a job.

The Learning By Doing Methodology can be frustrating at times seem overwhelming, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty amazing how quickly you learn! The mentors help you a lot and provide the moral support to keep you going. Nothing really negative to add. As the Spanish say, I bet everything on one hand, and pulled out an Ace.

The positive points have been the learning method, the material provided, the guidance of the mentors and the great unity within the group while the cons have been some link of the resources that no longer existed and the lack of some group meeting more to consolidate concepts.

To switch careers is always challenging, at Ubiqum code academy you are immerse in a challenging ambience (in the good sense of the sentence). From day one they present you your "new job", the "learn by doing" method makes you feel like you are in a role play game in a real business, offering real solutions to real problems. Depends on you how seriously you decide to take the challenge, but don't worry and don't be too hard on you. Mentors will always be there to help. Anyway if you feel the temptation to be too hard on you the program includes coaching sessions where you will learn to forgive yourself in case something went wrong so you can keep having a positive attitude to keep learning with the whole process. The coaching sessions also include techniques to approach fear and be resi...

Hi,
my name is Luca Bellarosa and I recently finished the course on Data Analysis and Big date at the Ubiqum Code Academy in Barcelona, starting from October 10th of 2016 and ending on February 10th of 2017.
The course is very dense and since the beginning you are asked to solve issues in real case scenarios, while at the same time learning new software, concepts, and programming.
Even if intense, the methodology employed by the academy, the so-called "learn by doing" approach, helped me to fix in my mind the new concepts of machine learning, R programming, and forecasting that I was discovering on a daily basis. Weekends were used to round off my knowledge of machine learning by studying the resources that are available to all the students.
During the course you are required to rep...

The positive things are the great knowledge that is acquired and the skills that you develop while the cons are the density of the course and the time invested in it

Before enrolling the Full Stack Developer Program at Ubiqum, programming was just a hobby for me, and the code I used to write was a bunch of messy incomprehensible lines. The teachers at Ubiqum took me to a whole new level and shaped me into a professional developer in just 16 weeks. Even more remarkable, some of my classmates that hadn't written a line of code before, became proficient just as fast. At Ubiqum you start coding from day one, developing projects that are fun and challenge your logic thinking skills. The atmosphere is chill and friendly and you learn to work both individually and within a team. Besides the curriculum itself, Ubiqum provides access to a whole bunch of extra resources that help you reach your goals: job application prep sessions, tech talks and other fun ev...

Quizá al principio choca su metodología Learn by Doing, quizá frustra, quizá te supera, pero una vez te haces con ella entras en una dinámica de aprendizaje continuo. Los mentores ayudan mucho y son una figura esencial en esta aventura. Nada malo que añadir. Me lo jugué todo a una carta y elegí el As.

It was a surprise for me to understand that Ubiqum was not only a boot camp, it was also a way of life. Ubiqum has undisclosed inner faculties that I did not even know were inside of me. It was awesome to develop all the skills and to acquire the knowledge to become a true Data Analyst with a team I will never forget, and to have grown for these months with all the companions and projects I will never leave behind.

La realización del curso de Data Analytics y Big Data en Ubiqum me ha permitido iniciar y desarrollar con entusiasmo mi trayectoria como Data Analyst a través de la realización de diferentes proyectos de gran interés para las empresas desde el día 1 de curso. Durante la realización de estos proyectos he aprendido codificar en R de manera fluida y me ha permitido conocer el análisis de datos tanto desde una perspectiva técnica como desde una perspectiva de negocio. Además, el aprendizaje obtenido gracias a mis compañeros ha hecho que esta experiencia sea aún más enriquecedora. Este tipo de formación es ideal para desarrollarse como profesional y como persona.

Vaig fer el curs de 80 hores de Disseny de pagines web. Les vuit hores diàries van ser molt dures. Recomano que es faci no en 15 dies, com vaig voler fer jo, sinó en 4 o més setmanes. Si no es té cap base de programació, com era el meu cas, és massa informació nova de cop i no es paeix bé. Es necessiten unes bones hores a casa per repassar tot el que s'ha fet. Malgrat tot, la professionalitat i la seriositat d'Ubiqum ajuden a fer més fàcil el que, d'altra manera, seria inabastable per als qui venim de fora del món de la programació.

Estoy haciendo el curso de data analytics y estoy muy contento con la gente de Ubiqum, el mentor, los compañeros y, sobretodo, con el contenido del curso y lo aprendido. Es una metodología que requiere mucho esfuerzo y dedicación, pero vale mucho la pena y con muy buenas perspectivas de trabajo al terminar.

The data analytics course at Ubiqum academy is an immersive 16-week program into the world of data handling. The methodology is intensive, hands-on, and immediately dives you into the world of being able to use/read/manipulate data. The tasks are structured as real-life scenarios, so you gain relevant skills. I was astounded how much I learnt in such a short time. The ethos of their education platform is ‘to learn by doing’. This is certainly the case. By the end of week 3, I was already proficient in using WEKA and presenting findings as a data analyst. With no prior knowledge! Having your fellow students to bounce off, we all became great friends and discussed all things data. The course is very insightful, and opened a window into a world I never knew existed. All the staff at Ubiqum...

He realizado el curso de Html, Css y Javascript. Con respecto a ello puedo decir que el curso esta estructurado para seguir la metodología que te proponen, el "Learn by doing". Dicho método consiste en eso, aprender poniendo en práctica lo que el programa y mentores te proponen. En consiguiente, los resultados obtenidos dependerán en gran parte del estudiante y el empeño dedicado a sacar adelante el trabajo. Como recomendación para Ubiqum les recomendaría incentivar la disciplina, por lo demás, muy bien. Buen ambiente, excelentes mentores y un equipo profesional dedicado 100% a ti.

La experiencia Ubiqum Code Academy con el método de aprendizaje "Learn by doing" es de los mejores que he realizado hasta el momento. Si bien al principio, choca su filosofía de aprender a programar porque no es el método habitual de clase y profesor. Personalmente Ubiqum ha superado todas mis expectativas y estoy muy satisfecho de todo el lenguaje que he aprendido a dominar: HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, JavaScript, JQuery y JSON, teniendo en cuenta que mi primer archivo lo guarde como "HMLT" y a día de hoy ya cerré dos proyectos personales como freelancer y con muy buenos resultados, y hace 4 meses ni me imaginaba llegar donde estoy a día de hoy.
