Life Changing
General Assembly's Software Engineering Immersive (remote) has far exceeded my expectations of what a bootcamp can do for its students.

These instructors really care about your success and prepare you not just to be a good software engineer, but a great employee who can work independently and actively contribute to a team. Would suggest this bootcamp to anyone interested in coding but would highly recommend you try some coding lessons independently first to make sure this is a field you want to dive into. 10/10 experience, it will forever change my life. - Juvone FreemanUX Designer • Graduate • 3.

My career coach was also very helpful in my development into this new space. He helped me with interview practice and building my personal brand. All in all my bootcamp experience was great and I would and will always recommend this program and organization to others to make a move into the tech industry. - Annie KuxaGame Development Tester • GraduateVerified by LinkedInSep 13, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Life-Changing, Incredibly Supportive, Skill-Building

I can't say enough good things about this bootcamp. From day one, I knew I was in for an experience that would not only challenge me but also shape my future in tech.

I can't say enough good things about this bootcamp. From day one, I knew I was in for an experience that would not only challenge me but also shape my future in tech.
Instructors:
Big shoutout to our instructors - Ben Manley, David Stinson, William Hunter Long, Ian Terada, and Joe Malatesta - for their crazy cool support and in-depth explanations. Each brought their own unique style to teaching, making complex topics digestible and relatable. I've got to give a special mention to Hunter; thanks to his help during our group project, I felt like a real software developer for the first time in my life. And Joe's wisdom - "never call yourself a bad developer, and never allow anyone to call you that" - has become my personal mantra.
Curriculum and Projects:
The projects we tackled were skill-building tasks that pushed us to apply what we'd learned. They were challenging but also incredibly rewarding. These weren’t just academic exercises; they had real-world applications that gave me a strong portfolio.
Support:
The level of support was phenomenal. Whether I was stuck on a coding problem or needed broader career advice, help was always around the corner.
Career Coaching:
Beyond the technical skills, the valuable career coaching provided was the icing on the cake. The bootcamp has a holistic approach to career development, which was precisely what I needed to transition into the tech world confidently.
In summary, this bootcamp was a life-changing experience for me. It's a community, a mentorship platform, and a skill-building powerhouse all rolled into one. If you're considering a career pivot into tech, look no further; this program is invaluable. - Woo JunhongMinistry of Health Ops Data Manager • Graduate • 1.

Overall, I had a wonderful time participating in the online program. I got the chance to get to know a wide range of people who had like interests, and we developed enduring connections.

I had a brilliant experience undertaking the General Assembly course as a career changer.

Best self-investment possible
I recently completed the GA SEI program and it was the best decision I’ve made for myself in my life. My lead instructor Dan was the most knowledgeable and skilled teacher I’ve ever had, and made this experience not only doable but enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better team leading us through the unknown.

Worth it
I had many doubts before investing half of my savings in GA data analytics BootCamp a year ago, but now everything around me proves that was the right decision to make. Before that I already had diverse educational backgrounds across TAFE and university programs - none of them yields more outcomes than this 3-month journey. At the time of joining GA in May, 2022, I was unemployed in the aftermath of COVID as a migrant living alone in Australia.

Before that I already had diverse educational backgrounds across TAFE and university programs - none of them yields more outcomes than this 3-month journey. At the time of joining GA in May, 2022, I was unemployed in the aftermath of COVID as a migrant living alone in Australia. Now is June 2023, I'm working as an IT professional with a decent salary in a life-balanced environment. I know friends who recently graduated with Masters of IT at UNSW, UON, or a Cert IV from TAFE, they are actually not doing as good as I am. As once told at an info session at TAFE, this is an unregulated industry - so as long as you find the right field for your (e.g. Data analytics), go for it, gain the skill, then it doesn't matter where you are from, practice your English, then you WILL find a good job. P.S. I know depends on the occasion some may have complained about the instructors, I am a TAE-certified trainer, trust me, I have seen a lot worse at uni and TAFE, it's not an easy subject to teach, and even more so for 8 hours x 3 months non-stop. - Shenna Mae TanStudent • Software Engineering Immersive Bootcamp (Flex) • SingaporeVerified by GitHubJun 07, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
ReDiscovering Capabilities
Went into the bootcamp rather nervous, but it turned out that the environment was such a safe space to make mistakes and learn. Students weren’t afraid to ask questions/clarify, which allowed them to gain confidence in their new skillsets. This is especially helpful for those who are doing a major career change and have a case of imposter syndome or self doubt.
Kudos to the instructors and teaching assistance for their patience. - Ben KaplanGraduateVerified by LinkedInMay 21, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great learning experience
I absolutely loved my time with General Assembly and their Software Engineering Immersive. It was a full-time online course over three months. The instructor I had at the time, Michael Lackey, was absolutely fantastic in his explanations and guidance. He could be overbearing but because of that, those of us who made it through the course all agreed that it greatly helped to develop our coding skills, learning ability, critical thinking, and teamwork mentality.

The post-course outcomes department is a strong force that has helped me personally with my search for a position. Though the market is tough at the moment, they offer great guidance, resources, and connections to other engineers.
I highly recommend this course.
