Ubiqum Code Academy

A very unpleasant experience that destroys every illusion. The course does not offer any form of academic training, only view videos of Youtube and find solutions on Google. Zero classes and zero resources. Because it costs so much if you don't get classes?... Read More Nor if you want to have a job exchange and some of your managers are rude and very bad professionals.

I joined the Bootcamp in Lisbon. According to me it's one of best Coding Bootcamp. Here you can learn from the beginner level even though if you don't know anything about the coding . The best thing is here you can get one of the best instructor, he is... Read More really Awesome . You can get one of the best Curriculum and Real Project Experience.

I took the online course of 'Data analytics and Machine Learning – R, Big Data & Python' at Ubiqum code Academy. I finished it several months ago. I have to admit that this course greatly exceeded my expectations. As a student, I have studied in reputed... Read More business schools and mathematical universities in EUA. With the learning method and the constant support of my tutor Merce, thanks to this course, I was able to develop very useful programming skills and critical thinking to solve real business problems related to data!!! I radically changed my professional profile and I am now working in a company that develop algorithms for the wind energy sector. I could have never applied to this position before my experience in Ubiqum. I highly recommend everyone to take any of Ubiqum courses, it's really worth it!!!

I completed this bootcamp of Ubiqum last summer (2020). I made the online option with all the modules. I chose it because it is the more flexible in the market to balance work and family without sacrificing contents. I did not regret my choice. Other... Read More courses have fix hours for you to connect (e.g. from 19:00 to 22:00) what is impossible for me because of my kids. Here you have total liberty, you just need to agree with your tutor, two days per week, one, three, whatever suits you.
The curriculum is very complete, you have huge flexibility to work at your own pace and the support from your tutor is constant. Another good point is the price, one of the best in the market if you consider the extent of the curriculum.
To sum up, the online option is, in my opinion, the best course in Big Data that is available in the market. The combination of prepared material and work done by yourself is just right to push you ahead but at the same time making you resolve your own problems. For me it has been the perfect combination and a very good experience.

I have to admit that I do not enjoy writing reviews and only leave them in exceptional cases. My experience with Ubiqum Code Academy (Ubiqum) is right such an exceptional case. I started a Data Analytics program on site in 2018. Two months later, I froze... Read More it, as I signed a full-time contact with a hospital in another city. Although Ubiqum stated that the program could be completed online providing a full-time employment, I did not believe that it was feasible. In 2020 I had more flexibility at work and made a decision to resume the learning. Indeed, it was so challenging that I was thinking of giving it up several times. However, I had all support I needed and it helped to stay motivated till the very end. My online mentor, Merce, made a miracle. She found an approach that worked best for me and monitored all my achievements. In September 2020 I completed the program and was granted a long-awaited certificate. To sum up, I would wish for anyone to never give up and life will definitely pay it off by bringing the right people to you. The skills I gained at Ubiqum are treasured. Go and start your programming experience in the right bootcamp! 

I used to have a permanent job at the Canadian government, but truth be told I always felt like I could do more than some admin work. So I decided to quit my very confortable and easy job and to take this course at Ubiqum in Barcelona. (Please keep in... Read More mind that before my very first day at Ubiqum I had never coded before.) And it was the best decision I ever took! The program is very good and hands on. You learn A LOT as you go, mentors are so helpful. I discovered that learn a lot by doing and just jumping hands on into the challenge and managing as I go along. The program is very well done and they cover a lot of subjects.
The course was not even over yet when I had already found a good job in my new area as a data analyst in a very good company! From day one I was able to jump into projects and could understand all software used.

Highly recommend! 😄

All negative- your Madrid office has closed and our family who saved money to send my son to the program is at loss- your employment promise is a downright lie. He has sent over 400 applications and BTW did very well in your program , albeit he often... Read More spoke about the lack of teaching. He has friends who have completed this course in the US and were appalled at your lack of teaching well- as a teacher this offends me, as a mother who paid for this, this offends me. I know this is Covid time, but you left Madrid and have FAILED students who were in your program. For shame for taking money and not being the product you claim to be! I am so angry at you and I will tell all about this .

I did the MERN 3mo intensive bootcamp.

Very bad, there are no classes. There are youtube links for you to learn on your own, but paying 5k €.
Muy mala, no te dan clases. Te dan links de tutoriales en youtube para que aprendas por tu cuenta, pero pagando... Read More 5k €.

The course content and projects are outdated, without proper theory to help on the practice. The mentors are ridiculously under skilled and not experienced. Mentoring is not mental coaching in coding as they like to say, before they turn sour on you for... Read More asking them a question instead of sit down and figure your shit alone while paying 9900euros. The administration is in limbo. The job support is one of those huge marketing lie promising what they can't offer.

The course itself could be really good but it was delivered very badly. Although the projects are quite interesting, the actual online material is super outdated and it is up to the mentors to provide more ideas of how to approach the tasks with more... Read More modern technologies. The mentors themselves are very friendly and trying to do their best, but they are not experienced enough to provide you with much extra knowledge beyond the narrow scope of each task. The theory is not taught at all (you have to study yourself), and the "learning by doing" approach is just writing a bunch of reports and giving presentations and no proper feedback was ever given so that you could learn from your mistakes and actually improve. On the same note, there was never a single proper code review. On the other hand, there were constant deadlines to complete reports and presentations, so that one would spend most of the time fulfilling these (pointless) tasks instead of actually investing time in some learning. I understand that this methodology is meant to teach students how to be efficient at work, but the result was just an illusion of doing something new without really understanding what you are doing, and frustration of not actually learning anything new things where you wanted to dig deeper. This is not education, this is bullshit.

The absolutely worst part, though, is the job support. The company gives you statistics of successful alumni with new jobs and their salaries which sound good, but I suspect this is all made up, and definitely those numbers are not true for the recent alumni. Ubiqum also claims that they have an extended network of companies in Barcelona who hire alumni, but from what I have seen and experienced, this is nonsense. The company doesn't even keep an up to date network of alumni, which would be helpful for networking. During my time there, all that happened was two "career days" -- one of which was even a visit of recruiters, not even an actual hiring company. Besides that, all that was ever provided in the job support arena were two workshops about improving your CV and linkedin profile, and a practice HR interview. Frankly, my feeling was that Ubiqum didn't give a shit about whether their alumni get a job or not. After those workshops were completed, I have not received a single followup communication from the career services, let alone a referral for a job interview.

I would really love to give a more positive review, because I overall had a good time during the course, and met some interesting and great people among students and mentors. However, at what I paid for, Ubiqum failed spectacularly. It is clear that Ubiqum doesn't care about actual education, only about making money through inflated marketing claims.
