    UX Design Remote Flex

    I had a very good experience learning the design process through 6 projects. Some solo, some group, and a group project for a client. I landed a job a few weeks before the bootcamp ended and I had minimal tech experience before GA, just good art skills and speaking skills. I recommend the course for someone who has a lot of grit. It does take a lot of time and outside effort if you want to be job ready in 6 months.

    Data Analytics - Part Time

    Happy with the course, the instructor and assistants were very available and flexible with us, which was key given that the course was part time so life often got in the way of submitting projects on time. The contents of the course focus on the core skills needed for data analytics in excel, tableau and SQL. It can feel hard to keep up with the course at times but if you make sure you have the time and do your studying everything if fine. The skills learnt are 100% useful the instructor...

    UXDI

    NOT WORTH THE COST. You learn a lot in a short amount of time and you do get to meet a lot of new people and possibly make new friends. However, you are there to get a job in the field you want to be in. Unless your portfolio is outstanding, it is very difficult to break through. Going through this program is just an exposure to the industry and no guarantee for a job right away. There will be attempts to expose you to industry people, but again no guarantee. When you complete the progra...

    Unfortunate: UDXI - Remote

    I learned quite a lot but not enough to be successful. The people who succeeded in this course had spent a year of their own time learning UX prior to the course. I would HIGHLY suggest taking time to learn outside of the course before signing up. This is not a program if for those who do not know anything about UX. 
    Also, it took the lion's share of my coursemates over 7 months to find any UX work. (Aside from those who had prior experience) I was not able to be unemployed that long ...

    Full Stack Software Engineering Immersive Fellow

    My time at General Assembly, while relatively brief, was an intense period packed with learning about the latest and most popular internet software development languages and technologies. The full-stack immersive regimen helped me develop multiple apps as proof of my proficiency and training, and the importance of thinking like an engineer as well as working like one was not lost on us. I'd have liked even more in-depth studies on computer science, but overall this was a worthwhile progr...

    Software Engineering Immersive

          After spending time in San Fransisco around several software engineers at varying levels of experience I became interested in changing careers after having been a mechanic for most of my life. I will say it was a challenging experience but also a very rewarding one. The staff and support was above an beyond my expectations.
          The point of the course is to teach you how to learn different coding languages and the basics of OOP(if you don't know what this is look it up for tw...

    Good Cohort

    Overall, I had an awesome experience with GA. One instructor really went above and beyond to teach us a lot of information, my cohort was incredibly tight and worked with each other super closely. My outcomes was solid (the coach wasn't always the easiest to get a hold of and getting feedback isn't quick). However with that all said, it's hard for me to determine if I can recommend GA. Other cohorts didn't learn things we did, GA seems to have a lot of internal turnover which can impact ...

    Data Science Immersive London

    Curriculum wise, don't get me wrong, the course and its content are very good, there is the main teacher and then 2 teaching assistants who support you through, although you might need a little warm-up MOOC course before but maybe not essential. You learn how to code, visualize data, multiple algorithms, and techniques, and at the end of the course, you do feel upskilled.

    However,  I strongly advise you to check the Junior Data Scientist Jobs out there before enrolling and checkin...

    Not for everyone

    I joined the 12 weeks of coding Bootcamp in 2020 at GA. 
    Overall, it was good and made a good connection with the people that I studied with. However looking back on it, I don't think I would go back again and pay over 12,000 for the course. The reason being a lot of content can be covered with online materials and I still don't think it was worth it. This is just my personal thought. My class was full time so everyone had left their job to enroll in the course, with that being said a...

    Data Science Immersive gave me the career change I was looking for

    General Assembly gave me the tools and confidence to make a career change and I would never be where I am two years later had I not been through the DSI Bootcamp. It is important to know how your previous background and the boot camp can work together to make you a strong candidate. There will be MUCH to learn after the boot camp, but the GA program gives you what you need to start that journey and I would recommend it!

    The People Make the Difference

    The ultimate difference between design bootcamps is the teaching. I had remarkable instructors at General Assembly.  They offered general insight into the industry at large as well as taught the necessary skillsets within it.  I was able to wrap my head around expectations in the industry, design philosophy, approach, and practice using the skillsets I use daily. They also gave us fantastic templates and insights that offered a better command of an anxiety-provoking job search -  all of ...
