Challenging but Fun!
I took the UX Immersive bootcamp in January 2023 and had a blast. It is definitely not for people who are not ready to work hard, because you need to be ready to put in a lot of hours of work if you want to get the most out of the course. Our instructor Nick Anderson was amazing and I could not recommend it enough. - hong yuanGraduate • Software Engineering Immersive Bootcamp (Flex) • SingaporeVerified by LinkedInMay 01, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Fruitful, insightful and enjoyable Bootcamp
Before signing up for the course, I was considering whether to upskill through self-study or attending a Bootcamp. Wanting to connect with more like-minded people and get a certificate, I signed up for the course.
It turns out that I had gained more than that. The course is designed such that you can follow well and get the most of it. Our instructors are helpful and provide lots of insights for real world Software Engineering role.

Other than technical aspects, my career coach also provides valuable tips and consultations on CV preparation, insight of processing CV in a company, job application etc.
After the course, I’ve also built up a habit to continue learning after work. To sums up, this course comes with necessary resources to make your learning journey easier and fun, how much you want to gain from it depends on the effort you put in.

Amazing experience with the SEI program
General Assembly’s Software Engineering Immersive served as a great experience that allowed me to grasps web development and give me the skill to pursue software engineering. My instructors were amazing and were always willing to chat after class and help me understand anything that I had questions on. The full-time program is definitely an time investment but I personally think it’s worth it. I do wish that on the final unit more time was spent on Typescript but I enjoyed it nonetheless...General Assembly’s Software Engineering Immersive served as a great experience that allowed me to grasps web development and give me the skill to pursue software engineering.

An engaging, worthwhile endeavor
The curriculum for Data Analytics Remote (Online) was exactly what I needed to get started in the Data Analytics space, but the instructor is what really brought this course to life. Durga was fantastic in taking the time to explain concepts and give additional examples where needed. She used her day-to-day experience to help illustrate how the course work could be used in practical instances. I highly recommend the course, and am looking forward to additional GA classes over time. - RyProduct Design • Graduate • 3.

Although I feel like UX bootcamp classes may not be the most accurate depiction of the realities of any particular job, my instructional team definitely gave me the resources and skills needed to apply in many directions. I just have to maintain that willingness to grow post course! Since I graduated in Decemeber, I've continued to use GA as a resource and it's been a blessing to have the campus to come back to in NYC. Not to mention the whole world of alumni and graduates. Although I haven't landed my first job yet, I am so happy with my choice of going to General Assembly.

The instructors at General Assembly are phenomenal at what they do and also bring lots of real world experience to the table. I learned so much more than I expected to within the 6 months I attended the Software Engineering Immersive Online Flex program. It was a lot to juggle between a full time job and the bootcamp, but it was so worth it, and I was able to secure an SE job within a few months of graduating.

It was a lot to juggle between a full time job and the bootcamp, but it was so worth it, and I was able to secure an SE job within a few months of graduating.
The outcomes coaches are nice and supportive, but I didn't interact with them much after the conclusion of the bootcamp itself and largely searched for jobs on my own. There's a lot of general advice but not a lot tailored to you, and it seems like there are way too many students per coach, so it was difficult to get any 1 on 1 time with them more than 15 minutes at a time. Also, the direct job recommendations were so few compared to the number of students looking.
All in all, I think the GA bootcamp was worth it for everything I learned, but your mileage with outcomes post-course will vary.- Alexander CharnofskyFront Desk Agent • Graduate • Product Management (Part-time) • New York CityVerified by LinkedInMar 10, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I was blessed to work with 4 other smart, capable students in a preassigned small group for a project (1 member later dropped out which did increase the workload). Nevertheless, this is a great course if you're new or seasoned to product management. Cost is on the higher side for a 10 weeks course, but General Assembly does offer finance options. It appeared many of my classmates didn't flinch at that (most likely because their employers paid for it; I wasn't so lucky). While the final day of class was memorable for connecting with professional PM's currently practicing their craft, the biggest gripe is the lack of transition to a PM role. It is entirely possible to take this course and STILL walk away without a PM career at the end of it. This class is great, the instructors our amazing, but GA drops the ball HARD on progressing you into a PM role at close of the course. Hopefully, GA can re-work their courses to transition graduates into actual tech roles, perhaps offer a complimentary internship for graduates with tech companies. - Max NashSoftware Engineer - Associate Consultant • Graduate • 2.

Worth the hard work!
I attended my Software Engineering Immersive (SEI) bootcamp with General Assembly in mid-late 2022.
Having previously met and hired multiple graduates from GA I went in having done quite a lot of my own + some crowdsourced research, and was not disappointed.

Definitely not for the faint of heart, GA will take your education (and post-graduation) seriously, and push you to the limits of what you can accomplish in a short time frame (12 week immersive in my case).
The teaching & instruction team are tried and tested, with a lot of the Instructor Associates having previously been graduates as well, you're well supported from the beginning with people who have really 'been there and done that' before you, understanding the highs, the lows, the stress, the FAQ's and everything in between.
From a post-graduation standpoint the Careers & Success coaching is tip top, something that I discovered almost no other bootcamp education provider actually offers, or if they do it's in it's infancy by comparison to GA. Regular catch-up's, infinite access to 1 on 1 career, resume, tailored job application, networking events, group interview session etc are on offer on a very regular basis - not to mention additional resources in email follow ups on potential job openings you can apply for week in week out (they do half if not 75% of the job search process FOR you).
Highly recommended, competitive and thorough education top to bottom, my current boss is stoked I came out knowing the practical skills I needed to be a hands on coder very quickly.

The job assistance wasn't amazing, there are a few groups (LinkedIn, Facebook and Slack) where alumni can share jobs and cvs.
I went out and applied the learnings from the course by consulting a company I knew and as a result, doubled their subscriptions. - Dee PabstSoftware Engineer • Graduate • 2.

Dived in to the Software Engineer Immersive Course
I recently completed a 12 week software engineer immersive course at GA Sydney and I couldn't be happier with the result. The course covered a wide range of topics, including computer history, javascript, ruby on rails, jQuery, react, and Vue. I was impressed by the creativity and fun aspects of the course, such as learning three JS and p5, and even creating music with sonicPi.

One of my favourite parts of the course was the weekly projects that allowed us to put our knowledge into practice and solidify our understanding of the material. The projects were a great opportunity to work in a team, learn git branching, and improve our teamwork skills.
In addition to the technical skills, the course also provided valuable networking opportunities. The course instructors connected us with a large network of professionals, which was a fantastic resource for finding job leads and resources after completing the course.
Overall, I highly recommend this programming course to anyone looking to improve their skills and advance their careers. The diverse range of topics, hands-on projects, and valuable networking opportunities made for a well-rounded and enjoyable learning experience. - Elijah KubesStudent • 2.

Fantasically engaging and informative lessons, with a great blend of interaction and lectures to gain a vast amount of knowledge in a short period of time. There was constant support and help throughout from class mates and instructors to make it feel like one big community. A great atmospjere inside the cohort which promoted positivity and encouraged all members of the class to participate.
