The Ubiqum experience is unique for the learning methodology. They use a “Project Based", 100% practical methodology. No lectures, no subjects, no exams. Only practical work constantly supervised by a personal mentor. You “learn by doing” and when you finish you have your own portfolio of projects to show to recruiters.
During the program, students work as a professional from day one, taking on the role and tasks of either a junior developer or analyst, thus preparing them for work in such fields.
After completing between 12-20 weeks of practical, 'learn by doing' training in either data analytics or web development, the students acquire in-demand, specific technical skills that are 100% transferable to the workplace.
Students can choose either an onsite program in Barcelona, or a remote (online) learning option. Both in person, and online paths include professional mentor support and professional career services.

"Bad exprience, bad school and bad professionals"
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

"with a phd, masters....Ubiqum made me the difference!!!"

"A very good course at a reasonable price"
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

"Excellent mentoring and demanding skills"
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

"Awesome program!"
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
Highly recommend! 😄

"Our family pooled resources to send our son to your progream"
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
Dear Teacher and mother,
After 4 years of operating and more than 750 students that highly valued our services and found a job to start a new career in technology, several circumstances, aggravated by the COVID health crisis, led Ubiqum to a turbulent... Read More

"MERN web dev: Paid for classes, got links to watch youtube tutorials"
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
Dear Student,
I am sorry to read your comment. Ubiqum had difficult times this 2020 that led to a temporary closing of operations. Although we tried hard to give our best service to all our students over this period, some, few, of our students, may have... Read More

"The biggest educational scam I ever faced"
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

"inflated marketing claims and"
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
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.
Dear anonymous. I am sorry to see you had such a bad experience. This is not the average experience of our students, as you can see in the ratings we have had since we started in 2016. I would like to better understand the reasons of your frustration... Read More
