    DON'T THINK ABOUT GOING INTO THIS!!!

    I self-funded this course. I enjoyed the first few modules, and I am generally good in self-studying. However, the pdf lessons were just lacking content in relation to completing the assignments, and I had to do more research. 1:1 mentor support had been unavailable twice, and they were not knowledgeable enough to answer my coding queries. Unfortunately, I had to stop the course after the 1st month due to illness and finance issues. But guess what, they still wanted me pay the full tuiti...

    AVOID! FAKE REVIEWS!

    There exists now a huge community of students that are incredibly disillusioned with Hyperiondev. The course is of extremely poor quality, almost no interactivity, extremely limited content and many topics that are advertised are not taught.

    Hyperiondev has been silencing students who speak out by kicking them off the course unfairly. On other websites it seems they have been leaving themselves lots of good reviews.

    Flexible Study Option

    I have had a good experience studying data science with HyperionDev. I chose the 6 month part time online option as it made the most sense while working full time. It has been great choice as I had full flexibility in when I could complete the studies and tasks. The first two levels are quite straightforward as the course material is very thorough in teaching you the basics. Mentors mark tasks quickly and give individualized feedback which is greatly appreciated. The third level - Machin...

    An exciting head start into coding

    Hyperion Dev’s software engineer boot camp has been a great start into the world of software development. It is a thorough course that helps one understand the fundamentals as well as the intricacies of coding. Doing this course part-time has allowed me to learn whilst still being able to work a full time job.

    I recently started a coding bootcamp and I must say, it was an excellent experience. The program was well-structured and covered a broad range of topics in web development. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and always available to answer questions and provide guidance.

    Hyperion Dev: A Decent Course For Beginners

    The course content is good for beginners who have just entered the tech space and lack practical experience coding. And the mentors are very helpful and detailed in their explanations and lectures. But to be honest, the Joburg campus is a bit understaffed which forces students to be more self reliant when solving problems that aren't too challenging. And since Django happened to update it's framework during my course, completing Level 2 became more time consuming since our mentors had to...

    Great for beginners

    I am doing the Hyperion Software Engineering 6-month online course. With this self-paced course, you get engaging lessons, expert instructors who make even the most challenging software engineering topics simple, and an excellent resource for getting a head start on your career. The tasks are explained well and give you enough information to complete them. The course also encourages you to do research and develop your own solutions to the tasks.

    Poor Course Content

    I do not recommend this institution, there is better content in Udemy courses for way less than a Quarter of the price. The structure of the course is unorganized as lessons are only taught after you are required to do the task. The chance of you getting an entry level job is very low after doing the course as they do not teach you enough content. The mentors are overworked with meetings booked weeks in advanced, and there is an average of 1 - 2 weeks wait time for assistance as there ar...

    Hyperion Dev Software Engineering Bootcamp

    Great experience with Hyperion Dev. The quality of the material on the Software Engineering Bootcamp is very very high. Very greatful for the way the mentors guide you through the work and also taking time to explain things you just do not get. I wish I had known about them a long time ago. I have been on the bootcamp for 6 months, and this took away all the fear of programming.

    Challenging, good, educational, informative

    The experience was good although there are a few things that I was abit unhappy with. I felt the communication was abit slow, perhaps due to the amount of students versus the mentors, but it did slow me down abit because it took a while to get help when I was stuck. But other than that, the curriculum was good, challenging but very informative. The requirements were clear. The support team was extremely helpful and offered good services.

    Waste of time

    I enrolled in the three-month data science course. If you consider doing it, do yourself a favour and not waste your time. The whole curriculum is a nightmare. After a reasonably relaxed introduction to Python, you will be overwhelmed by the data science tasks. The lecturers barely have tangential knowledge about data science. Therefore, you will spend most of your time on Youtube. The learning material is brilliant for Python and useless for data science. You will always be asked if you...
