    Data Analytics Part Time Remote

    I was very impressed by both the content and the pacing of this course. I was thankfully able to take the course due to a local scholarship, and I found it to be very practical while balancing a work schedule. The content was more in-depth than I expected, and provided a solid foundation that makes it easier to continue learning once the course is completed. While the pacing is fast during classes, having only 2 classes a week allows for individual practice later on; I don't think I woul...

    Great for beginning coders

    I chose General Assembly because they started teaching coding from scratch - that is, without the intimidating lingo or skipping basic steps. The team at GA is not only great at teaching how to code, but also very cognizant of student's work-life balance and mental health. Each student was taken care of and not left behind if they were struggling. The program is fast-paced and challenging, but I felt supported along every step of the way. The best part of General Assembly, for me, was th...

    Great Overall Experience

    General Assembly's Software Engineering Intensive program is geared toward getting students jobs, from its carefully-designed curriculum to its rigorous and thorough Outcomes support. I do wish we had learned more OOP languages, or more languages that employers are looking for in the Boston area, like Python and Java.

    UX Design Bootcamp

    This Bootcamp covers a lot of material within the three months which pushes individuals to rise to the challenges (PS, if you are looking for something light paced, this is not the Bootcamp for you, it requires time, dedication and most of your attention) What I loved about the GA UX Bootcamp was that it's very project-based so you keep learning and directly applying that knowledge to create potential solutions. There are a total of five projects covered and three of them are fully team-...

    High Quality Instructor and Solid Methodology

    My experience with GA has been nothing but awesome. My instructor has a solid background in Math and Statistics, he is able to explain abstract concepts in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. Importantly, the curriculum is challenging but manageable, even for people who have almost zero experience with Python programming. They have multiple projects to immediately apply what you have learned, which was really helpful in "locking" it inside your memory.

    While looking for a job,...

    Salutations everyone! I hope whoever’s reading this doing well. I’m a college student at The University of Louisville, located in Kentucky. I decided to take a class which offered a scholarship for my freshman year of college and this is one that offered one. I truly enjoyed this class, the instructors, my classmates, the Curriculum, all of it was quite an experience. In under 3-4 months, I learned how not only websites work, but how to create my own. Taking this class was indeed a chall...

    Overall, I'm very satisfied with the experience I had with GA. Curriculum is covers well most important topics and students are encouraged to go deeper whenever they feel the need to. Instructors and assistants are great also, providing you support and challenging in a way to foster critical thinking. The 1-week intensive course is indeed intensive and requires 100% of full dedication for 6 days in a row - so be aware that if you want to make the most out of it, save the entire week excl...

    Software Engineering Immersive - Absolutely Worth Your Time and Money

    When I first attempted a run at coding and software engineering, I bounced off of it HARD. It was vague, overly complicated, I couldn’t see the real-world applications of what I was learning (despite knowing in the abstract that there were a ton), and was largely left to my own devices to try and figure it all out. 
    The SEI program at General Assembly was a world apart. Though more narrowly focused than a general coding course or comp-sci degree, we were shown all of the different par...

    This is absolutely a wastage of time. This review is from my personal experience. They say that its for absolute beginners but at the same time , in the first week of the class, the instructor teaches you for 15 minutes and expects you to write a code in 30 seconds literally on slack. And if you are not actively writing or f=giving any answers , dont think that they are ok with that. They expect you to know everything , thinking that their way of teaching is world class however they teac...
