    Web Development Immersive

    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. This course changed my life so I would be happy to recommend it to anyone - it will be t...

    Backend Web Development: Ruby on Rails

    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 nee...

    The best 3 months of my life

    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 simply couldn't learn fast enough in my spare time, or without a classroom environment where I could ask for h...

    General Assembly Melbourne - Front End Web

    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...

    Amazing Experience

    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 accessibili...

    GA Seattle Rocks!

    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 ...

    User Experience Design Immersive

    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. Also working with a great group of committed students helped me make some invaluable connections. Give it your a...

    A solid introductory course that provided a strong foundation and inspiration

    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...
