    Galvanize Services review

    The Galvanize’s admission counseling has been super helpful to me. I was trying to apply for MS Perfume Sciences in France , since it’s a niche course I was finding it a little difficult. But I trusted Galvanize with their process and they helped me at every step, from preparing my application documents till visa process , when and where required. I would like to thank Galvanize for their services, particularly Manasa Kavuluri for being available all the time.

    GRE flash course

    It is a good course, on par with GRE level. And some practice tests are harder than actual GRE, which makes it little bit easy to tackle GRE questions. I would surely recommend this course for GRE prep.

    SJP Feb 2022

    This is their new "untested" python bootcamp  they say is designed for beginners with 0 coding experience. The instruction you get as someone who has no knowledge of coding coming in is brutal. The instructors don't actually explain anything. They just put code on a screen and say here it is. No explanation of logic or why things are the way they are. They just expect you to memorize everything you see on screen, if you ask what is going on they tell you to go look it up. Do not spend th...

    Used to be good, but can't recommend anymore

    I'll start this review off by saying that I was a die-hard Hack Reactor stan from 2017-2020. I actually published a 5 star review a few years ago on this site, but requested to un-publish the review due to alarming changes in tone of the administration towards its student body. 

    Take for example the alumni community: what used to be the most compelling reason to choose Galvanize/Hack Reactor over other bootcamps. In my day it was the most vibrant community of technical professiona...

    The Good: Hack Reactor's curriculum is very well developed and does an excellent job preparing lay people for a career in tech. Their instructors are also very helpful and very encouraging. You also really feel a sense of community with your peers, even though you are interacting remotely.

    The Bad: The JavaScript curriculum is intense and exhaustive. Compared to other prep courses, Hack Reactor expects you to get JavaScript down very quickly and...

    Data Science Immersive

    The Galvanize DSI was everything I expected it to be and more. I was in the Austin campus, studying remote from NJ due to the pandemic. My instructors were passionate and dedicated every step of the way. Galvanize absolutely prepares its students for what's to come in the industry. If you are considering the course, reach out to me! I'd be happy to share some perspective :)

    I went to the Galvanize Data Science Immersive and all i got was a huge pay raise and job security

    Background:
    I attended the Data science immersive in Austin from December of 2019 to March 2020. I have a psychology degree from a foreign university, which i graduated from relatively recently, and had a large amount of trouble finding work after university. I interviewed for several data analyst positions, but had hit a wall in terms of knowledge base. I found Galvanize after getting a good recommendation from a hack reactor alumnus and friend.

    Data Science Immersive

    Galvanize was a great experience for me, and I'd recommend the DSI to anyone looking for a career transition to data science. The course material is interesting and comprehensive, staff is engaging and knowledgeable, and my cohort was friendly and motivated. I also appreciate that the curriculum seems up to date with current data science industry standards, based on conversations with people in the field. In terms of structure, the DSI is a combination of structured vs. unstructured and ...

    The Positive Change You've Been Looking For

    The Data Analyst Training Accelerator has been the most impactful education I've received in my adult life. Transitioning from a career in finance, it was difficult to land a role in data without working experience. What this program will give you is so much more than a slide deck.

    From Day One, you are a Data Analyst. Per the curriculum, you can expect intensive, hands-on coding learned in an open forum format. There is no such thing as a silly question. After all, you have to be...

    An Amazing and Valuable Experience

    The Galvanize Data Science Immersive is a challenging and immersive course. The course took me from hobbyist programmer to serviceable junior data scientist in a few short months. Also worth a mention is their great post-graduation career services.
