    Professional academic training.

    It was an excellent experience for first time online coding bootcamp, instructors were so professionals and helpful. They used their knowledge and experience to lead and guid all students equally.
    For me as non native English speaker (intermediate English level) was a bit hard for me to catch up every thing at the beginning and the course leaders were so patient by repeating and explaining more deeply.
    General Assembly is a professional team academy 100%.

    Data Analytics with Prasanth Thangavel

    Prasanth was the bomb! Super consistent, patient, and supportive.  There was so much information stuffed into 10 weeks, and he helped adjust the pace of the course as time went on. Additionally, I learned a lot being with different classmates who had various strengths. GA curriculum was easy to follow and clear with no surprises - I rated it 4/5 mainly because I wish we spent more time on SQL and less time on the tableau segment. Highly recommend this class.

    Waited over 3 months for my certificate of completion

    After completing and passing the course, I had to wait over 3 months for the company to provide me my certificate of completion. I had to pester and constantly follow up, and never was provided any more information than, 'we're working on it.' Only until i resorted to social media did something actually get done about it. For a company that works with industry leaders I was blindsided by such a poor experience. I will not be taking a course from GA again.

    Digital Marketing Immersive

      I have just graduated from a 2-month full-time Digital Marketing Immersive course at General Assembly, Singapore.  It was a very engaging, fun, and intensive course that I enjoyed and benefitted from.  Michael Buchholz was our instructor.  He was very generous to share his in-depth marketing experience and provide invaluable insights.  The highlight of the course is the pro-bono client project which is also the capstone project.  With guidance from Michael, we applied what ...

    Engaging remote learning with legendary instructor team

    I recently completed the product management 10-week part time course with GA, remotely in Melbourne. I was worried about remote learning as I can find it difficult to be engaged but I found that the use of group, partner and solo activities around the core learning to help with this immensely. I love that the instructors were available for us to pick their brains around their real-world experience - I gained some invaluable learning this way.

    CATALYST (Income Share Agreement)

    I'm in the process of enrolling in GA's immersive UX and learned from their Admissions officer that their Catalyst (ISA) is NOT available anymore in California. Seems CA and 4 other states, per the Admissions officer, have regulated ISAs in order to protect consumers. I was really counting on this ISA, but now I'll likely have to apply for a loan- very disappointed. Good for consumer protections... but bad for folks in this process like me. Darn.

    GA UX Design Immersive Full Time is Worth It

    For anyone who is on the fence about bootcamps, or comparing the long-term value of bootcamps- General Assembly includes a career coaching component to the lessons and portfolio projects that set it apart from other bootcamps. There's a long-term value proposition that you take with you long after you graduate: how to effectively create a personal brand, network and find mentors -things that you probably won't find at many traditional colleges and universities until the last year in some...

    Trouble getting refunded

    After paying in full for a Web Development course, I had to reschedule to another time.  However, I am still having trouble getting refunded.  I asked to cancel within the allotted time frame (within 14 days).  Contacted customer support and admissions, they tell me to talk to the person who helped me with registration.  I contact her (Tanya Clark) through email, no response for a few days.  I call her and she says she has been out of the office for the past few days.  Great.  She says s...

    UX Design

    I took the UX Design course from November 2021 to January 2022 with Matthew Reiswig. This is a fantastic class! I cannot recommend it enough. We were given all the tools and resources to get started as a professional UX Designer. I am definitely leaving this class feeling energized and empowered to tackle this new world of opportunities that lies ahead.

    Data Analytics

    I am satisfied with the depth of the content, the quality of the teaching (Chris was fantastic!) and GA overall (platforms and UI). However, in my opinion, this course is overpriced. 
    The course costs £2,800 and I did the 40 hours intensive course completed in 6 days. 
    I paid in three instalments which helped, but I believe this course would be better priced at £2,000. 

    I am happy to have enrolled on this course. However, in my humble opinion, this didn't seem good value for...

    UX design course

    Not worth it, It is super hectic and fast-paced. Classes start with full-day presentations (similar to recorded videos) none stop from 9am to 5pm, then on the third day you have to turn in your project and if your project is not good enough, you are out. (Just like that). 
    If you can learn by yourself from YouTube then you can learn in this course also. 
    There are zero one on one or individual attention,(There is not even any time for it) You will be super exhausted by 5 pm which y...

    Part-Time Data Science Course

    This course was really great to learn about the different applications of leveraging python for data science. I really enjoyed the two part presentation (apply learning to a dataset of your choice - presenting your analysis at two points during the course.)

    Definitely gave me confidence to continuing learning in this field.

    Overall, course is great for anyone currently doing some degree of analytical work and who would like to expand their skill set.
