So far I've had a great experience, they are on top of things and very professional. I even had the admission consultant PamelaJ respond to my emails in the late evenings and call me outside of her working hours just to assist me, and everyone I know that goes to a higher institution knows that the admissions department isn't always the best part of their experience. There are many platforms they provide to get assistance and also you have many mentors that are available to assist besides your assigned mentor if he/they/she is not available. They also have a user-friendly online platform, nothing annoys me like a higher institution that has a Windows 3 looking format, visuals, unfortunately, do matter to me. Most importantly, the content is well structured and builds up well for the next topic, they provide you with additional resources and some videos to help introduce you to the work you will be doing, along with some spot questions with answers to help you grasp the core outcomes of the lesson, which you can choose to do and does not count towards the tasks that need to be submitted. The free trial course they provide gives an advantage when you start with the course because as a beginner you really have no clue and helps you ease into the actual course without feeling overwhelmed. Looking forward to my graduation in 5 months' time :D. -

I am currently doing the software engineering bootcamp with Hyperion Dev.
It has been a great experience so far. The coursework is very informative and while the tasks can be challenging, it is very rewarding to design an effective solution. It feels fantastic to be creative with solving of problems again. -

I am currently enrolled in the full-stack web dev online bootcamp at Hyperion Development. I am rally impressed with the way the course has been run so far. The course material is thorough and the tasks challenging, in a good way. And when you do need help with tasks setting up meetings with your mentor is super easy, and the community is also amazing to reach out to for assistance. All of my support requests have been dealt with smoothly, making it easier to focus on learning. -

Great support and very friendly
Very supportive and friendly staff. Had my first one on one session with my mentor and he answered all my questions and helped me get my setup perfect. Code reviews are quick and to the point!! Highly recommend HyperionDev to anyone looking to get into Software Development!! -

I've so far enjoyed my time with HyperionDev doing the Data Science bootcamp. They have material that is easy to understand although challenging. Their mentor system is also good with knowledgeable mentors and a helpful student network -

Hyperion Development is an amazing choice for a bootcamp.
Hyperion Development is an amazing choice for advanced education at affordable prices. As a person previously coming from 2 other colleges, I have also noticed that Hyperion is a lot more helpful than most. Their courses are also short and still teach you what you need to know in order to cope in the working environment. -

HyperionDev, in my experience, has been a great institution to learn how to code. I recently started my software engineering bootcamp, 05 February 2021, and the results have been great. In just this short amount of time, I have gone from being a complete beginner to being able to code a basic financial calculator. - and that is just the tip of the iceberg!
My mentor, Njabulo Phiri, really came through for me when I had some difficulties with a particular task. He went as far as giving me educational content that is not directly linked to the bootcamp. However, that content can be used to gain insights behind the history of coding.
The slides are comprehensive and easy to read. I also enjoy the flexibility I have of being able to study the content offline. The staff are really helpful, and generally contact you back if you weren't able to get a hold of a particular individual.
I have found the course challenging so far, but very rewarding. If you enjoy a challenge, the euphoria of developing a solution to that challenge and want to learn how to code, I recommend you get in touch with HyperionDev.

My experience thus far on the Software Engineering Bootcamp has been extremely productive. Coming from an Engineering background having a taste of coding, HyperionDev has helped me fill some of the fundamental concepts needed to become a software engineer. Completing online courses is great but having exceptional tutors at your fingertips not only assisting you with complex problems but giving you the background and context needed to fully grasp these concepts is undoubtedly awesome. -

Amazing Studying Experience!

I started the Full Stack Web Development Bootcamp on the 11th of January. I have had little to no experience in any of the front- or back-end aspects of web development. Since I have started, I have learnt so much. The syllabus is set in such a way that you gradually build up your knowledge and see how they are connected. When I code the time flies straight out of the window. Like they say, time flies when you are having fun. I am genuinely proud of the outputs of my tasks. I could have never imagined such nice creations without the help of HyperionDev. -

I have really been Enjoying the HyperionDev Immersive Full Stack and Software Engineering bootcamp,
I come from an Advertising Industry background and learning to code on my own was difficult, but once i got enrolled into HyperionDev it really structured the path to becoming a full-stack software engineer.
I understand more about JavaScript than I did when I tried alone and I am excited to learn other languages which are in my bootcamp. With the amazing community of mentors and Students who are always helpful regardless of which bootcamp you are in, makes this my number 1 recommendation to anyone who wants to learn software engineering or web development. The resources are plenty and the Assignments are supper fantastic, taking you right into thinking like a coder and getting hands on with coding right from the start.
The best part about the bootcamp i am doing is that I get an accredited Higher Certificate which is an NQF level 5.
I am learning so much with HyperionDev and each Task and Assignment I do is always exciting! -

I recently started my Full Stack Web Development online boot camp at HyperionDev. As a new student to the world of developing, my experience so far has been positively challenging. The tasks which we are given to work on are based on real-life situations, meaning we don't just cover the module for the sake of passing time, but we are getting skills needed and necessary to apply in a working environment. The reviews on submitted tasks, provide feedback on what you are doing good, where you are going wrong and guidance on what to do to produce better work. -

I'm coming from an Architectural background and wanted a platform to learn new skills to enter the Tech Industry through Web Development and HyperionDev provides that with online/onsite options. I chose the online option to learn the skills I need to become a Full Stack Web Developer while pushing my side hustle (creating art pieces). I was able to obtain a partial-scholarship because I was a student and they cost dropped from R20 000 to R17 970 - not a huge compansation but it helped a bit.
The curriculum is so easy to follow and they also encourage doing additional research. This very necessary to implement as a developer as the Web is very volatile and one needs to make sure they are always up to date with what new in the industry.
I love working at my own pace and the tasks help test your knowledge. HyperionDev implements a very interactive learning approach which has helped me to absorb a lot of information in such a short amount of time and I've been assigned a mentor who I can contact whenever I'm confused by something in addition, they have a discourse virtual campus where questions are answered very quickly by the community.
I would recommend this institution to anyone who wishes to enter the Tech industry while obtaining up to date good quality education.

As an accountant in the corporate field, I noticed more and more automation happening. And before my job is being replaced by a program, I thought let me be that person to create that program.
HyperionDev's bootcamp provided the necessary skills from beginner to advance. If you are stuck, there is always a mentor a message or email away to assist you in the right direction. Something amazing, as you submit your tasks, it get reviewed/marked within 48hrs, so you know immediately if you need to review a certain skill before proceeding. They ensure the foundation is perfectly solid!
I would recommend HyperionDev, and any of their courses (even if you dont have any experience)!Melanie of HyperionDev

As a Working Mom
As the working mom, you do not always have free time, so I decided to allocate my free time to study part-time expecting everything to go perfect.
HyperionDev has been so understanding that life throws curve balls when you least expect them and I really want to say thank them especially to Tevin one of the consultants.

Great experiences with Hyperiondev
Read more Read less of Rehan's review
I'm currently enrolled in the Software Engineering Bootcamp, and to provide some background information I study BSc IT part time so I do have some prior knowledge of coding, but this course is so in depth and provides such a big expansion to previously obtained knowledge. I would say this is better than getting a degree where you do so much work and learn nothing much about real world coding etc. Doing my course through Hyperiondev was the best thing I could've done, they provide great material to give you the knowledge and a lot of tasks that you have to submit that forces you to practice what you have learnt. Think you might get stuck with things because you are new? Not to worry, they provide each student with a mentor that is available pretty much anytime during working hours via discord and you can even set 1 on 1 meetings with them ranging from 30min to 1 hour where they will explain to you every detail that you don't understand. I am with Hishaam and he is great at what he does and super friendly, keeps things professional but does not shy away from making you feel human.
Thanks Hyperiondev and Hishaam for the wonderfull experience. -

Doing the Software Engineer Bootcamp with HyperionDev has been an absolute pleasure for me. I have found many aspects of the course relevant for application in my field (Water Science and Engineering). The course and exercises are structured in a manner that is easy to follow from a gentle introduction to an advance level.
I would strongly recommend the course to the young and old, those who are young graduates and those that have just finished high-school. Coding is a good skill to have and there are limitless potential applications in the work place and in under&post-graduate studies. -

I did the Full Stack Web Development Part Time Bootcamp.
It is a great course and I had an amazing journey throughout the course. The mentors and other departments are very helpful and they will assist in any way possible.
The course content is relevant to to current market. The most popular development stack is part of the course. You will also learn a lot of other technologies and they all compliment each other. The course is well planned and easy to follow. You will have to do a lot of research, which is part of the tech path, and this also develops you into a better full stack developer.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who want to start a career in web development. -

Avoid HyperionDev at all costs!
Read more Read less of Wesley's review
The quick version: Terrible, terrible, terrible. Avoid at all costs!
Here's why...
Being in the Aviation Industry and grounded because of CoVid-19, I decided to ups**** myself by learning to code. I had done some coding in Python before on places like Udemy and by reading books, but decided now was the perfect time to dedicate serious time and effort into this. I joined HyperionDev for the primary reason of being accountable to a mentor. The website advertises that a mentor would tailer the course to your experience and guide you from “zero to hero”. I paid the full fee of R19 995 for the six month Data Science Bootcamp. It went downhill from there…
The bootcamp started on the 5th May 2020 and it asked me to schedule an “on-boarding call”, which I did. A call was scheduled, but never received.
I then checked on how I would go about scheduling a call with my mentor. To my surprise, the next available date was in four (4) weeks… June.
I then called HyperionDev and bought the above to their attention. I offered 3 scenarios: Either assign a different mentor to me, transfer me to a different bootcamp, or refund me. I was told to stick with it and was given my mentor's email address to schedule calls. I accepted.
I went through Level 1 of the bootcamp quickly, as I already had experience in Python. However, whilst doing the tasks, I remember feeling sorry for people that have never coded before at all. More on that later.
When I needed help from my mentor, I fired off an email and could only schedule a call a week later. Unfortunately, even the call was disappointing. Not my mentor's fault - How much can you really teach and explain in 30 minutes?
Think you’ll get personalized code reviews in your code file as shown on the website? Nope. They show code feedback on a separate webpage. If you’re lucky, it’ll be personalized. I received a lot of automated feedback. You’re told to ask questions in your code file, but the automated response doesn’t address questions. Better ask your mentor for help… in 2 - 4 weeks.
“Code is reviewed within 48 hours.” No, no, it’s not.
On to the content. The good stuff - the notes that will teach you how to code. They are delivered in PDF format to a Dropbox folder. There’s some text on there and a few tasks, which are much, much more involved than what you were taught in the PDF. Expect to research how to code if statements and loops on the internet. It does not teach them before you need them. Sure, doing your own research is good and part of the learning process, but there are limits. They should vary tasks just enough that they make you research the official documentation and not outdated forums. They plagiarize most of the tasks. If you want to do tasks/challenges, go to HackerRank or similar sites. Think the projects are related to real-world problems? They’re not. They’re just more meaningless tasks.
To accompany the PDF’s, are “example.py” files that have example code for you to read through. Right at the top, you’re reminded that they are there for you and should you get stuck, to please contact your mentor. Prepare for a 2 - 4 week wait if you go that route. Some files ask you to make sure you have Python 2.7 installed, while it teaches the course using Python 3! You run the file… error. Now you’re troubleshooting their example file. If you know what you’re doing, you’ll find the “print” statements aren’t accompanied by parenthesis (). The entire file still has Python 2.7 code.
They don’t teach best practices. All variable names are in CamelCase and not snake_case as recommended by Python style documentation. In another, you’re asked to install SpaCey, a Natural Language Processing module. Enjoy spending the day trying to get that installed! Don’t bother asking your mentor for help. They’re not available. The instructions on how to install SpaCey are incorrect in the PDF. Best to just go to the official SpaCey website. Also, the version of Python they provide for you is the 32bit version. SpaCey needs the 64bit version.
With all of that said, I asked for a refund on the 29th May 2020, as what they promised on the website before joining was not being delivered. I was happy to pay the one month fee of R4795 plus the 15% cancellation fee.
It has now been 5 weeks later and after working my way from Support to the Head of Education to the CEO and the legal department, I finally received a response:
They are putting me on the new cancellation policy which came into effect on the 1st July 2020.
It states that since I completed 29% of the course and that I enquired about the refund policy on the 29th May, my cancellation was made in week 4. I am therefore, eligible to receive a refund of 40% minus a 15% cancellation fee. Depending on how you work it out, that’s a refund of between R5000 and R6800. From R19 995. Disgusting. The bizarre thing is, even if I had just paid monthly, I would have covered the same amount of content.
I have no choice now but to take it further legally.
There are FAR, FAR, better courses out there that are free or very cheap. If you want to learn web development, use freeCodeCamp. If you want to learn Python, use Udemy. Courses are excellent and only cost around R200. Sure, you don’t get mentor support, but you get very little of that at HyperionDev, anyway.
If you specifically want to learn Data Science, try Codecademy or DataQuest. I have since moved on to another learning platform called Udacity and it is amazing! Projects are real-world - Analysing actual data sets. Content is fantastic. Video and text is available. They mark projects with personalized feedback in less than 24 hours. They marked my last project in 10 minutes. Mentors answer questions within 30 minutes.
If you must join HyperionDev, DO NOT pay upfront. Instead, pay monthly. That way, if you feel like they sucked you in by false advertising, you can at least cancel and stop the debit orders. Lesson learnt.
Good luck.

Promise the world, deliver nothing
Read more Read less of Matthew's review
Where do I start as the list of negatives are basically endless. I really wish I had seen the HelloPeter reviews before deciding to spend R20 000 on a course that doesn't offer you anything near what they promise. This is meant to be a modern, tech, educational platform that is forward thinking, but I can promise you it’s just like any other old school company. Theres nothing revolutionary in the way they teach, mark your work, provide your tasks… It's basically a drop box folder and are code isn't reviewed line by line, you just get overall feedback.
The course has massive holes in it (full-stack web development), and you basically just end up running a bunch of free courses in parallel to try and get you over the line, which makes you think what the point is of spending R20 000 on a mentored course that does nothing of the type. You get a PDF outlining what you need to do which suffices at first (to make sure you get past the refund clause in their policy wording), but as you move on you may as well just skip to the tasks and research those online. I had to get the developers in my current company to help me out and due to learning everything online from multiple sources, the way I write code isn't good practice. This leads me to my next point…
There are way too many students for the mentors available and there is no personal touch of them knowing where you are, and what they should teach you because of this. Sometimes it takes over two weeks to get a session and by that time your ripping your hair out as your 5 tasks behind and need another 4 sessions. I work a full-time job and getting sessions after hours is a nightmare. The one thing they are good at is selling you the course, I was promised this would be a breeze outside of my 9 - 5 job and that they are specialists in this. Don't even think about this course if your working, but I wouldn't recommend it if your not either. My tutor really tried to help me out after hours but was always exhausted or had to cancel sessions at the last minute. I put aside weekends for this only to be cancelled on last second and then to spend the rest of the weekend just stressing about how to finish the tasks by myself.
The customer support operates at a snails pace, to get anything sorted takes days to a month. I complained and eventually got a small refund which took over a month, still not happy with the outcome.
My advise, keep your hard earned money and grab courses online, as you learn way more from free websites than spending a huge amount of HyperionDev.Melanie of HyperionDev

Selling people on a dream
Read more Read less of Kyle S's review
They will not "Kickstart your career in tech".
Where to begin, I sold my car to pay for this course, and what I received in return was an out-dated course, basically zero career support, a half baked hiring platform with no opportunities for the average graduate, most job postings on their connect platform ask for years of experience.
As for the certificate, it has no recognition in the industry and if an employer looks at the certificate all they will see is a certificate of completion, you can get the same thing from an R200 Udemy course.
Furthermore, the Mentors have to look after way too many students and are frequently swamped. And the one time I needed help from my mentor he told me he didn't have experience in the topic I was stuck on.
Everything you find in the course material can be sourced for free online and through youtube tutorials.
I have found myself a job based on past experience and I have asked multiple companies if they have heard of HyperionDev...not even one has said yes.
Don't waste your money, time, or effort on this scam.Melanie of HyperionDev

This course has been amazing. Due to finances I was not able to join, but HyperionDev Team helped me get in. The course content teaches you what you need to know. You may need to go do research to find out more. That is where you have the discord channel where you can ask any questions and people in the course can assist you. The few times I have needed support assistance, my issues were resolved within a few hours. My mentor marks very well. All the comments and tips on how to improve really help. I have learnt much while on this course, specifically on how to make comments correctly :D. If you know nothing or very little about programming and want to learn more, this course can do that for you.
Pros:- Course content suitable for beginners
- Mentors provide improvement tips
- You can retry your task if you do not meet the requirement of 70%
- You have access to a discord channel where you can ask many questions
- Support team responds quickly
- Access to HyperionDev Careers
- After a lesson, you may need to do some more research to fully grasp the concepts (finding examples etc)
- You can only submit 3 tasks a day and have to wait 24 hours before you can submit again (prevent mentors being swarmed)
- Discord help may take long depending on people's availability
- If you are more advanced in programming, Part 2/3 is where the fun starts
- No job guarantee

It has been my dream to become a software engineer, however plans did not go as anticipated and I found myself in the built environment profession. Learning about HyperionDev and how they have produced successfully aspiring software engineers regardless of their educational background, skill level and age, revived my hopes once more that I am not too late as well to pursue the dream. The curriculum has been in an easy-to-grasp format alongside with extra helpful mentors. I have not only gained the skills sets in Python and Java programming so far, but a new way of thinking logically and effective approaches to problem-solving as well. If only I had known earlier about HyperionDev and their flexible and convenient way of producing software engineers I would’ve been a top engineer by now. Nonetheless, I cannot wait to graduate in July and dive in the real world of software engineering and so reach my desired haven.Melanie of HyperionDev

I enrolled in HyperionDev's online Full Stack Web Developer Bootcamp, at the start of March 2020, and it has been amazing so far. The course content is clear and concise and easy for anyone to understand, no matter how much or little coding knowledge they have. Besides the actual course content, multiple external links are provided to point you in the right direction when it comes to researching a topic or wanting to learn more, as well resources/learning material provided for further reading. One thing I think a lot of people learning to code struggle with is structure and where to start and and this bootcamp offered a much needed solution to this problem to help one advance their learning as there is a clear path or direction that needs to be followed. The tasks that are given is the perfect opportunity to test what you have learnt. The tasks get progressively more difficult as you move through the course and they do become more labour intensive but they are great in that they aim to really get you to show that you understand and are able to apply the knowledge that you have learnt. If you ever get stuck, you have your own mentor to assist. Besides that, HyperionDev has multiple communities and forums that all mentors, educators and students are apart of, you can speak to and work with people who are doing the same bootcamp and tasks as you are. Overall, I have had a great experience so far and highly recommend HyperionDev! -

Hi there.
Honestly all you need to do is take the risk that will change your life and with HyperionDev, I have decided to take a career based on Web development and trust me the beginning is that easy. There are a lot of things in which you will need to complete a course with them:
- Dedication
- Time
- The ability to learn new things
- Learning from your mistakes
- Asking for help
- Failing forward

The data science course involves intro to python, python for data science, data analytics & exploration and Machine learning & AI.
Pros The course content is well delivered and was a welcome surprise. I had thought this was a lite introductory course but actually gives enough content to get you job ready which is a huge plus. I am using techniques learned in this course in my role already especially on the data analytic & exploration level. The transition from beginner to intermediate programmer is just seamless. I can now add, remove & explore libraries which were pretty intimidating. Course instructors are always available to help you and I loved how the feedback was continuous and specific. ConsI know this is a bootcamp and information cannot be presented like a normal degree course but I think a slight improvement on the curriculum is needed.Things get pretty daunting when it comes to level 3: Machine learning level. That is where the seamlessness pretty much ends and things get really tough. I felt there needs to be an intro to statistics course or “statistics for machine learning” before you get your hands dirty. While intro to programming and ‘python for data science’ eases you in to the workload which makes data exploration an interesting level, machine learning is a mind adjustment without any sort of pre-prep, so to speak.Neuro Networks are in essence the crux of what you need to learn in level 3 but I felt didn’t get the platform it deserves to get you stuck in and I wanted to know more and learn more. I came out of level 3 feeling like we can sacrifice some level 1 tasks to give Neuro Networks some more room. I also think students can benefit from a task or two on reading different library docs. These help A LOT in understanding libraries. Overall, this is an incredible course and beats the data analysis course from get-smarter through UCT by a long mile. If you want something that would take you off spreadsheets and catapult you to using programming to solve data science problems, this is definitely the course for you.Melanie of HyperionDev

My experience doing the software engineering bootcamp with HyperionDev was great they have this amazing support structure and you are able to book online calls with you're mentor that will help you if you stuck or not understanding certain parts. The work content is nice and challenging and doing this course improved my problem solving skills and self discipline. The mentors break the work down very well when you lost and they are always there to support and keep you motivated I would highly recommend HyperionDev to all.
