    Best experience

    For a long time, I tittered on whether or not to go back to school to pursue UX Design. During my research for which schools, I spoke with a few UX designers and product managers that said they typically hire from General Assembly and have always been pleased with their hire. Once I started, the curriculum was so clear and the instructors were amazing--truly cared about our success. Furthermore, our cohort had access to a career coach who through it all helped us gear up for our career c...

    UX & Product Designer

     I took the GA UX Design Immersive course to pivot into UX from healthcare. From someone that didn't know what to expect when investing (yes, because it is an investment) in the course, I felt as if I left the program with a good foundation of what UX was and enough skills to feel confident in continuing my stride to get my foot in the door at an Austin based company.  At the time I thought the curriculum was okay. Over a year later, I now work for GA and I have see...

    So glad I did this!

    I took the User Experience Design immersive course (Remote) in 2020. The course overall was a great introduction to what UX/UI meant and how to apply it in the workforce. As someone that did not come from a tech or design background, this was very helpful and I never personally found myself blocked or falling behind because of my lack of experience. It really is an entry point! The instructional staff was always there to answer questions, provide examples or review my work. There is an O...

    Life changing

    It took me a long time to decide on a bootcamp. I was over 40 and had been out of school for a while, and wanted to make a major career change. It was going to be a major investment of time and money and I needed to be confident in my choice. The UXDI program at General Assembly delivered on all of its promises and more. The application process and pre-work really helped me shift into a growth mindset and set me up well fr success in the classroom after years away. I also benefitted from...

    GA changed my life!

    For several years, I had been feeling like I was wasting my potential in my job when I got the idea to try some online coding classes. I practiced first on Codecademy for free, before enrolling on General Assembly's online front-end web development course. My instructors in Sydney were fantastic and I was so sad when it ended that I signed up right away for a full-time, three-month bootcamp in London to learn full-stack Software Engineering. This was a huge financial risk because I had t...

    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.
