I am currently a full-time, onsite Web Development student at HyperionDev. So far I have had a very good but also very challenging experience, coding is hard and there is no way getting around that but they have designed the course so that you keep building on what you have been learning. I am really glad I chose to do the course onsite because it’s a very nice environment - the other students are great, you can ask other students further along in the course for help & you have direct access to either the main lecturer and junior lecturer. And I also have access to an online mentor which I can make appointments with if needed. I am in my 30s and a midlife career change is a big risk to take, I chose HyperionDev onsite to make the transition as easy as possible and have access to all possible resources that might help me along the way. It’s a very rewarding experience once your code works and when you actually realise that you can call yourself a coder. But you really do learn the meaning of the word perseverance, because it is tough. The course is structured in a very logical and clear way and it is very easy to keep track of your progress, it is assignment based and there are no exams. It would be great if there were more examples to work through though but you are also encouraged to do your own research to find solutions. If you don’t have any coding experience then I think it is unrealistic to complete this course in 3 months, I wasn’t able to but managed to apply for an extension. Some advice I would give a new joiner is to keep working - if you have completed the task for the day but still have it in you to continue, then keep going and read ahead and start doing the tasks yourself because it will help you to not fall behind. I am not sure how good the job assistance is after graduation as I have not yet graduated but they do teach you how to build an online brand for yourself. |
