    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.

    User Experience Design Immersive

    This program was both challenging and rewarding as well as a great first push in the right direction for my career switch. Also, I was very fortunate to have an amazing and dedicated coach Anna K. that helped me land my first role post bootcamp.

    Data Analytics Course Review

    The instructors are professional and supportive, I took 10 weeks data analytics course which is intensive, but is also informative and well organized. The course is suitable for full time workers who have interests in data analysis and want to acquire  Excel, SQL, and Tableau skills.

    Provides a solid foundation to build on

    The course at GA was well structured and jam packed with relevant and easy to follow concepts. The support staff were very professional and supportive. The teacher was very generous with her time and extremely knowledgable. The curriculum is a good mix of class time, activities and practice time. The online class experience was very easy and collaborative. I would recommend this course to anybody who wants to get into the UX field.

    Incredible

    I learned so much in such a short period of time, GA has taken me from knowing basic HTML, CSS, JS to being a full stack developer. After graduating I managed to add another 2 full stack applications to my portfolio, which goes to show you don’t even need your teachers afterwards to get stuff done since they teach you everything properly  so it sticks!

    Great opportunity for growth

    I took an on-campus Software Engineering Immersive course at General Assembly in Manhattan and I had a great experience. The on campus atmosphere was nice and friendly and conductive to learning. The professors and TA's were available for help and excellent at teaching technical skills as well as explaining what is relevant in the industry. The outcomes team and career coach were super helpful in explaining what the field is like as far as job seeking and getting through interviews in th...

    GA Immersive Software Engineering Bootcamp

    Trying to crack into the tech field without the resources/network/knowledge is a tall order but through the GA SEI Bootcamp, I was able to launch into a career despite having little development/coding experience before joining GA. This doesn't mean that it will be easy, the months spent in the course were some of the longest/hardest times but the instructors/TA's & your fellow classmates truly help propel you to the finish line. While there are definitely some things that could be im...

    Intense but Valuable

    Bootcamps are not for the faint of heart. GA made sure to let me know this, from the interview process to enroll, to the pre-course work, inclusive subscription to a wellness coach via Ginger app, your on-call course Student Success Specialist (mine was Lo - they were super supportive!), scheduled teacher check-ins, the built-in supportive channels on the GA Slack network, and the STRONG suggestion to treat this as a full-time job from day on top of recommendations to schedule in self-ca...

    Hard Work Pays Off

    I attended General Assembly's Software Engineering Immersive remote program in January of 2021. Overall, it was a very positive experience for me! 
    Even though it was remote, my cohort was "New York-based" so we operated on Eastern Time and most of the instructors were from the East coast. I was told that the New York cohorts are unique because they use a different instructor for each of the 4 units. Other cohorts apparently usually have 2 co-instructors that swi...

    Software Engineer Immersive Remote

    I graduated from General Assembly Software Engineer Immersive Program in January 2021. It was a wild ride and I loved every second of it. I didn’t have any prior programming experience, so I got to make an extra effort in order to catch up with the cohort. 
    I am extremely grateful for our amazing instructional team and all of the collaboration with my fellow classmates. GA provides after-hours support, short one-on-one sessions on Saturday’s and a bunc...
