I graduated from the Web Development Immersive at General Assembly (campus Melbourne) and couldn't be more delighted. Course was relevant, fast-paced, well structured and it really taught me more than I could possibly imagine that I could learn in such a short time. The staff and the teachers at GA are the most amazing as well! Two weeks after the graduation I landed my first job as a junior developer.

My background was computer science degree with a heavy emphasis on theory and not alot of web development. I had learned the basics of Ruby on rails through books but the course helped me understand fully the language and framework. The instructors were very helpful, passionate about coding and always available for help online or in person. The communication they used with Slack was extremely convenient.

My background was computer science degree with a heavy emphasis on theory and not alot of web development. I had learned the basics of Ruby on rails through books but the course helped me understand fully the language and framework. The instructors were very helpful, passionate about coding and always available for help online or in person. The communication they used with Slack was extremely convenient. The course was fast paced and just as they instructors advised before starting, it needed to be done at a time in your life when not too much else was demanding. My only suggestion would have been to either add 2 more weeks to the course or subtract something in the beginning that was less important. The projects were challenging and went right along with the course material. The last few weeks of course were a tad bit rushed but I was so proud the last day of class when I stood and presented my application and it worked. It wasn't the prettiest but it indeed worked and I came up with each creative idea on my own. Definitely a good experience and I'd recommend to any other beginner or even intermediate developer.
Before starting General Assembly's full-time Web Development Immersive course I was a journalist with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
I'd taken an interest in data visualisation, and knew a little bit of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. But I didn't know enough to confidently use code in my day-to-day life as a digital journalist.

I'd taken an interest in data visualisation, and knew a little bit of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. But I didn't know enough to confidently use code in my day-to-day life as a digital journalist. I simply couldn't learn fast enough in my spare time, or without a classroom environment where I could ask for help. I knew the course was expensive, and would require me to take unpaid leave from the ABC. But I'd spoken to a few graduates who assured me that it was worthwhile - that once graduating, I'd be able to code and use my new skills to be a better digital journalist. I eventually decided to take the plunge. I built a little website on why online journalists should learn to code and pitched it to the ABC. They gave me unpaid leave, and $5,000 towards the cost of the course. But about six weeks into the 12 week course, I resigned from the ABC. I was having the time of my life. I had met an amazing group of people. My eyes had been opened to the tech industry. I was coding day and night, barely sleeping, running on caffeine and chocolate, but absolutely loving life. My instructor Joel Turnbull was incredibly talented - and hilarious. I loved every bit of the content that we covered. The General Assembly staff were amazing. I made the decision to resign because I knew that in order to continue progressing my coding skills, I would need to be coding full-time, rather than trying to code on top of my usual day-to-day journalist responsibilities. I also wanted to be in a supportive environment where I could pair program and be mentored by a senior. It didn't take me long to find my first job as a developer with a company called ansarada. During the course we studied Ruby on Rails and JavaScript. At ansarada I'm a back end developer writing C# and SQL. I've kept up my front-end skills on the side, and in a few weeks time I'll be moving to London to start a new job as a software engineer with Twitter. Doing WDI and changing careers from journalism to web development was the best decision of my life. The tech community is like no other, and I'm so happy to be part of it.Learned how to build a website from scratch using HTTP and CSS and the visual concepts behind designing a website.
As a designer and in this modern world I needed to get my skills involved with web. I signed up for the 10-week part time course after following one of the one day workshops - 'Code in a Day'. Working full-time the night classes suited me just fine and only 2 classes a week was good, as it did not overwhelm me. Straight off the bat the course layout was great, pre-work that with a video tutorial took you through the basics steps and as each class progressed we would always relate back to w...
As a designer and in this modern world I needed to get my skills involved with web. I signed up for the 10-week part time course after following one of the one day workshops - 'Code in a Day'. Working full-time the night classes suited me just fine and only 2 classes a week was good, as it did not overwhelm me. Straight off the bat the course layout was great, pre-work that with a video tutorial took you through the basics steps and as each class progressed we would always relate back to what we learnt earlier to keep it refreshed in our brains. The pace was good and even when I personally fell a bit behind or had difficulty the instructors were quick to help and very understanding. Having materials accessible online is a huge benefit for at home studying and using 'Stack' as a communication source was resourceful. All in I've finish the 10 weeks confident, all be it not a pro of course, to continue on with my own studies and update my resume to include web skills. It’s real world knowledge and skills for the real world workers.
General Assembly Melbourne equipped me with all the skill I needed to land a job as a Junior Front-End Developer. The classes were fun and the teachers were really great. Landed a job in the last week! Would reccomend this course to anyone.
A little disclaimer - I continued to work at GA after my graduation as an Instructional Associate. I imagine this makes me slightly biased.
What the Web Dev Immersive course does is prepare students to become junior developers. This is something it does very well. The course focuses on Ruby (especially Rails) on the backend and HTML, CSS and Javascript (JQuery and some Angular) on the frontend.

The thing that I found most rewarding about GA's program was the accessibility of the instructional team and other support staff. This, coupled with our small class size, really helped me improve my skills rapidly and really get to know my classmates. In fact, I recently finished a freelance job in collaboration with one of those guys. It was a fantastic experience.
Finally, it is probably pertinent for me to add that as with all similar courses, you get out of the program what you put in. Students really get an opportunity to expand their skillset beyond what is in the syllabus if they choose to do so. In my time as Instructional Associate, and as a student, I really saw the difference passion and commitment can make in a program like this one.
I'm currently working in Hong Kong as a developer, taking full advantage of the geographically transferable skills that I now possess.
The User Experience Design Immersive Program was intensive and covered most of the common practices in the industry, it was more than good to prepare students for the real world experience. I would not say that the modules were completely thorough or in depth but you could not ask for more from a 10 week program. You have to do a lot of studying at your own time. Having said that, you will not believe what you accomplish in that short span. I enjoyed every bit of it. I enjoyed the pace, I ...

Having said that, you will not believe what you accomplish in that short span. I enjoyed every bit of it. I enjoyed the pace, I loved the intensity of the course, the speed the programs were planned through the weeks, the culture they have created throughout the campus that made me feel so comfortable with everyone. We learned various techniques, we explored useful resources, we learnt to use multiple softwares, tools and applications. Our instructors were very supportive throughout the program and they guided us every step of the way. Moreover, the experience of being at General Assembly Seattle was amazing. From the moment you walk in that front door; the frontliners, the course producers, the instructors, career coaches and all the other students just make you feel as if you've been running the same race and there is no end to it. Perseverance, Determination, Confidence & Commitment are the tools that will get you through this course.
You'll learn an amazing foundation and an awesome start to a UX career. Amazing instructors and people to help you along the way, and an incredible community to be a part of.
So happy with the GA User Experience Design Immersive program in Seattle. The staff and instructors are fantastic people to work with. They have a lot of expertise to offer. The course is a major full time learning commitment but through the hands on projects and close advising of the instructors I feel I've gained more UX experience in 10 weeks than I thought would be possible.

So happy with the GA User Experience Design Immersive program in Seattle. The staff and instructors are fantastic people to work with. They have a lot of expertise to offer.

Also working with a great group of committed students helped me make some invaluable connections. Give it your all, you'll be thrilled by what you've learned, what you can do, and what is possible at the end of the 10 weeks in this program.
I've taken several bootcamp classes and workshops, and am currently 6 weeks into the Digital Marketing Part Time program. The bootcamp classes are crash corses into a particular subject such as Google Analytics and Google AdWords tought by people who actually do this for a living!

I've taken several bootcamp classes and workshops, and am currently 6 weeks into the Digital Marketing Part Time program. The bootcamp classes are crash corses into a particular subject such as Google Analytics and Google AdWords tought by people who actually do this for a living! Well planned, really good use of my limited personal time, and tons of additional resources so you can continue to practice the tools and continue learning and fine tuning once class is done. I love the weekend bootcamp classes, even though they are during the summer.
The Digital Marketing 10-week course is a great deal of information that is relevant to today's tech jobs! If you look up descriptions for digital marketing jobs you'll see a vast majority of these skills and tools you need that's covered in this course. I highly recommend. Pre-work and homework solidifies what you learn and additional resources are provided with each class. My instructors Kim and Quison are amazing, down to earth and very willing to put up with tons of questions!
I browse General Assembly's website a few times a week to see what new classes and workshops and events they have that I can use to build my professional skillset. And gotta love the brain boosting oatmeal and constant hot coffee and tea on each of their floors. (super clean fridges and mini-kitchens too!)
I took the part-time Data Science course in the summer of 2014, and it changed my life for the better. As a non-programmer, I spent a significant time preparing for the class by doing all the pre-course work. I highly recommend it as the students that appeared to struggle in the class clearly didn't have any foundation in Python and hadn't completed all the tutorials. I really immersed myself in the projects and assignments, and came out of the class with a really strong foundation in Pyth...
I took the part-time Data Science course in the summer of 2014, and it changed my life for the better. As a non-programmer, I spent a significant time preparing for the class by doing all the pre-course work. I highly recommend it as the students that appeared to struggle in the class clearly didn't have any foundation in Python and hadn't completed all the tutorials. I really immersed myself in the projects and assignments, and came out of the class with a really strong foundation in Python and machine learning techniques. My teachers were supportive and found ways for me to encourage exploring beyond the course material. At the end of the class, I still might not have considered myself truly "proficient" in Python or machine learning, but I definitely got all the information I needed to self-learn. I think that is the true indicator of a good introductory course -- that you have a high level of confidence that you can continue learning on your own. All in all, I highly recommend and the GA space / environment / people are very warm and welcoming.
