    Learned far more than I had expected!

    When I signed up for this class, I thought I'd learn a few useful tidbits about how to analyze data, but I learned SO MUCH MORE. Plus, now I feel equipped to continue learning Tableau, SQL, and Excel on my own. I'm especially interested in learning SQL outside of class; I've read multiple articles on how it's one of the most pervasive programming languages today. 
    Some tips for future students: 1-Do the homework and put in extra time outside th...

    UX Design Immersive

    I attended the UX Design Immersive program in March of 2015. Overall it was an incredibly efficient, informative, and effective introduction to User Experience. Critical thinkers with some background or knowledge in web related fields excelled in this class. Steeper learning curve for those who were less familiar or struggled with putting themselves in other people's shoes. Lots of resume and portfolio help, with relationships with area companies hiring for UX was also a plus. Launched a s...

    Online JavaScript Circuit

    This was a class I took to learn the fundamentals of JavaScript so that I could apply it towards my work covering APIs. The course we set up for students to succeed with a lot of hand holding through each lesson. This is not a bad thing especially given that we were doing the course from home. By far the most valuable part was the 1:1 sessions with my mentor Sonyl. He was patient and prepared and almost always able to help me figure out the  answers to my questions. Whenever we couldn't co...

    A good decision...if you're willing to work for it

    I decided on taking the course through Genera Assembly based on it's general reputation and the fact that I knew a few people who had completed the course, albiet in other cities, to much career success. Overall, I am quite pleased with my decision as I started my new job about 2 months after finishing the course and I really love what I do now. The curriculum was challenging and fast-paced, and there was always someone on-hand to help if I didn't understand a concept. I know the cohort af...

    Web Development Immersive

    Fast-paced, comprehensive program. I met a lot of really cool people in my class and, although it was challenging, it was also a lot of fun. GA gave me a good base of skills and taught us how to learn new tech quickly, which is vital for a career in this industry.

    Product Management Remote

    Remote experience was excellent and way better then I'd expected. We were still able to have group/partnered activities and engage with the instructor. The teacher, Aditi Joshi is a true master of her field and was a honest pleasure to learn from. The course was the perfect size and the content was dynamic. It felt as contemporary, new and ahead of the trend as possible. I really, really enjoyed it!

    Great Foundational Level Data Science Course

    This course was really fast paced and difficult, but I learned more in a short period of time than I ever have in my life. We learned to use Python programming to apply statistics and predictive modeling techniques on real sets of data. If you've know Python or R and are interested in learning foundational level Data Science, this course is perfect for you.

    Refreshing Graphic Update

    For all of you who are looking for a first approach or a refresh of what's trending with Visual Design, this course is for you. 

    I loved how we went over all the basics in design and how we had time to have workshops. 

    Totally worth it!
