HyperionDev

I recently completed a software engineering bootcamp that truly exceeded my expectations. The program's challenging curriculum pushed me to research, expanding my knowledge and skills in ways I never imagined. One of the most rewarding aspects was the practical application of what I learned during the bootcamp. The hands-on projects and real-world scenarios provided a solid foundation for me to confidently apply my newfound skills in professional settings.

When I started the bootcamp I knew nothing about coding or sotware development as I come from a banking background, but the curriculum provide by Hyperiondev made it easy to build up my knowledge in code development and the use of different programming languages. The support and feedback reviews offered by the mentors always ensured that I am able to fully complete tasks. No doubt, I will able able to use the knowledge and experience gained to be able to be better solve problems with the use of programming and coding within my line of work.

I would recommend Hyperiondev to anyone that wants to switch to a career in tech or learn more about software engineering

Stumbling upon HyperionDev Data Science bootcamp thanks to a lucky sighting on the London Tube has been an absolute game-changer for me. Getting started with a scholarship has been a journey filled with excitement and growth. What sets HyperionDev apart is their unwavering commitment to student success, evident in their multifaceted approach to learning.

Not only are students equipped with comprehensive theoretical knowledge through meticulously structured lectures, but they are also provided ample opportunities to reinforce their understanding through open class sessions tailored to address any lingering doubts. Moreover, the inclusion of career services sessions, portfolio development workshops, and enlightening tech talks ensures that graduates are well-prepared to confidently step into the realm of Data Science. That’s coming from me, a complete novice in the field.

As someone entirely new to this field, I could not be more impressed with the support and guidance I've received. Special commendations are due to several individuals who have gone above and beyond to make my experience truly exceptional:

Firstly, a heartfelt shoutout to Rosco McKinnon from student support, whose reassuring demeanour helped get rid of any concerns I had regarding my eligibility for university co-certification.

Next, I extend my gratitude to Abdul Gafoor for his meticulous feedback on Task 9. His insights have been invaluable in shaping my understanding moving forward.

Ronny Nijimbere deserves special recognition for his role as a mentor. His guidance has been instrumental in navigating the intricacies of Data Science.

Anri Lombard, as both lecturer and mentor, has consistently impressed me with his ability to demystify complex concepts and provoke logical thinking among his students.

Lastly, I must acknowledge Christiaan Joubert for his patience and unwavering support. You cannot throw a question at him which he won’t try his hands on right then and there on his IDE.

HyperionDev Data Science bootcamp is setting the bar high for excellence in education. For people who are aiming to join this bootcamp, I must tell you, you need to “pull up your socks”, as the journey is challenging. However, the kind of support you receive, it makes you want to get up every morning and learn a new skill.

The mentors session is always helpful they find way to help you to make learning more successful, and make learning easier and they send you links to go more deeper in to the bootcamp you are in

Hyperion dev has provided me with a great experience overall. From the course content that takes a step by step approach in guiding me from one stack/technology to another to the mentors that do their best to help in all situations where I was stuck and the reviewers who explain the problems they find in my code, apon submission, which makes it easier for me to fix. It truly has been a Rollercoaster but very much worth it 

This course is totally wonderful. Although I didn't have any experience coding before starting this bootcamp, I  really enjoyed it and I nearly finished all tasks.
The support team always tried to help me with whatever I needed. 

I love how well structured this bootcamp is. I thought that I would be thrown in the deep end by not knowing anything about coding or data science but upon starting this bootcamp I saw how easy HyperionDev makes it for you to learn by providing you with sufficient course materials as well as videos which really helps. They also show when you’re falling behind by displaying your progress, in this way, if you’re a part time student like me, you could easily plan around your bootcamp and your job. HyperionDev is also very swift with responding to queries. Mentor support is very helpful when you’re stuck with something. Would 100% recommend HyperionDev if you’re looking to coding and related fields.

HyperionDev helped me to integrate and apply a lot of skills in Full-Stack Web Development in a short space of time. I really appreciated the feedback I received from my mentors for each individual task: it helped me to pay attention to skills/areas that were lacking in my codebase, therefore making the quality of my code on par with professional coders.
Thank you, Hyperion, for quickly putting me on the map.  May your influence reach out farther and beyond to enrich many more students in the near future.

What an amazing experience at Hyperiondev, the software engineering bootcamp is truly top notch i would highly recommend, the mentor and student support is amazing i was provided extensions when required, extra lessons , coding nights, alumni support and community programs, the course material is great aswell, the courier services team has been amazing in helping me find a new position

What an amazing journey! The course was well-paced, with a gradual learning curve, that taught me to be resourceful, resilient and focused. The course covers real-world examples that can be applied to many industries, using in-demand technology and methods. From the onboarding staff [Lindy Mellem] to the support staff [Warrick, Nurhaan, Lizobuya and Jodi] to the reviewers [Jason, Chad, Ronny, Moipati, Brandon, Gwinyai, Seraaj, and Jessica] - hats off to you all. I look forward to joining the alumni and lifelong endeavour in the world of web technology and development. 

So, I completed the "University of Edinburgh Full Stack Web Development Bootcamp" and finished with the "top ranking" in my cohort.



The TL;DR is: Look elsewhere. I don't recommend this bootcamp at all. The materials are no better (mostly worse) than free resources, and their "employer partners" are nonexistent. I can see why the University of Edinburgh had virtually nothing to do with this.



For context, this course is split into two parts: the 3-month bootcamp and a subsequent 3-month "graduate scheme."



For the bootcamp:
As many here have already mentioned, the learning boils down to a bunch of PDFs. Each one has a task to complete. Considering this is an expensive course (I paid £7500 back in March), and being a company of Web Developers and Software Engineers, you'd think they'd put together something smarter than PDFs in a Dropbox. But, here we are—a sign of the quality to expect. In the early parts of the course, there's an accompanying video for each task to explain each topic. These were actually quite good, but as you progress deeper into the bootcamp and the topics get more complex, there are fewer videos, and their quality diminishes. It's no surprise, as many have noted, that they struggle to complete the bootcamp on time. I found that by the last third of the bootcamp, the materials were virtually useless. I relied on YouTube and W3Schools to learn how to complete the tasks. Having paid this amount of money to end up using free resources didn't feel right. All the course materials direct you to join the Discord for support, which I couldn't access since they'd shut it down. (I only learned recently from other reviews that it was because they couldn't manage the influx of complaints from students). I managed to finish the bootcamp on time, but only just, and worked long hours to do so. As I mentioned earlier, I finished rank 1 in my course of supposedly 100+ people. However, on the "weekly leaderboard," I only ever saw three other people making any progress.



Regardless, I thought maybe the value lies in the graduate scheme and access to Hyperion's "employer partners."



For the graduate scheme:
The tasks here were all career-related: polish up your CV, update your LinkedIn/GitHub, complete a technical interview, etc. The guidance was useful and accurate, but hardly seemed worth the price I'd paid. For comparison, PurpleCV's most expensive package is only £215 and they'd do all of that for you. I completed all tasks with 100% feedback and joined the graduate Discord group, unsurprisingly, it's basically dead with fewer than 300 members (including staff). Anecdotally, browsing through LinkedIn, I've seen others posting about finishing their courses and ranking high in their cohorts out of 100-600 people per cohort. I've counted up to about 3,000 people in total, so I'd estimate that less than 10% actually graduate from a HyperionDev bootcamp. Given my accomplishments, I thought I'd be a prime candidate for their employer partners. Yet, it's been three months with no news. They've mentioned a slowdown in tech and the summer quietness as reasons. Their advice? Apply for jobs and contact recruiters (amazing advice?! it's not like I was already doing that). I have recently found work as a web developer, but not through HyperionDev.



In conclusion, look elsewhere. There are much cheaper bootcamps offering accreditations, and free resources are somehow better than what HyperionDev provides. The career support is basic at best. If you need help with your CV/LinkedIn, there are many services ranging from £50-£200+ that can enhance your profile and "findability" for recruiter algorithms. The touted "employer partners" is a sham. I have no idea about the connection with the University of Edinburgh; it seems they were only leveraging the university's name for marketing purposes. (PS. I've noticed this has now changed to ICL, and I doubt they're affiliated with HyperionDev in any meaningful way either). I'm have no idea about the source of the positive reviews; some don't even make sense. I'd advise caution when reading them since I have not had even close to the same experience.

 




The program is great for becoming proficient in software engineer. The mentors and support team are very knowledgeable and very helpful. I’m forever grateful for what I learned and am thankful that I went through this program

HyperionDev Full Stack development is incomparable to any other online learning experience I have been exposed to so far. 
The course materials is solid and covers alot of current and relavent development technologies. 
The project structure is well planned and well placed to suite me working a full time job.
The support structure and instructors are attentive, knowledgeable and always eager to help solve any problem. 

I recommend this course withbthe fullest of confidence.

My experience at HyperionDev has been an overwhelmingly positive and enriching journey, exceeding all my expectations. The bootcamp dedication to academic excellence, nurturing a supportive community, and preparing students for the future has truly set it apart. "

I recently had the pleasure of enrolling in a course with Hyperion Dev, and I must say that the experience exceeded my expectations on multiple fronts. The course material provided was not only highly valuable but also incredibly challenging, making it an enriching learning journey from start to finish.


One of the standout aspects of Hyperion Dev is their exceptional course material. It was evident that a lot of thought and effort went into crafting comprehensive and up-to-date content. The course material was presented in a well-structured and organized manner, allowing me to grasp complex concepts and apply them in practical scenarios. The curriculum was relevant to the industry's current needs, ensuring that I acquired in-demand skills.


What truly set Hyperion Dev apart, however, was their fantastic support system. Whenever I faced difficulties or had questions, their team was always available to provide assistance. The support team was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in my success. They went above and beyond to ensure that I had a clear understanding of the concepts and offered guidance tailored to my learning needs. Their responsiveness and dedication to helping students succeed were truly commendable.


Moreover, the interactive nature of the support made a significant difference. Through regular one-on-one sessions, code reviews, and feedback, I received personalized attention and valuable insights that greatly enhanced my learning experience. This level of individualized support fostered a sense of trust and collaboration, allowing me to tackle challenges with confidence.


Hyperion Dev's commitment to their students' success was evident throughout my time with them. They consistently demonstrated their dedication by creating an environment where I felt supported and motivated. Their continuous encouragement and belief in their students' potential were uplifting and inspiring.


In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Hyperion Dev to anyone seeking a high-quality coding education. The course material is truly worth it, presenting a challenging yet rewarding learning experience. The exceptional support provided by the Hyperion Dev team ensures that you have all the resources and guidance you need to succeed. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with the knowledge and skills you gain from this incredible program!

Recently graduated from the Online Full Stack Web Development course. After completing the course, I feel that I've learned an incredible amount and am fluent in HTML, Javascript, and CSS as well as React.


Overall, there were a few problems with the course. The way that it works is you have access to folders containing PDFs which you read and complete tasks, for which you need to do additional research which is fine. There are also some video lectures, which are helpful during the first section (basics) but as you progress through the course there are fewer of them and they become less useful / out of date. I found that the course PDFs were often out of date and missing key steps for how to create the apps that they required to pass the course. All they need to do is update the course materials, which is what we pay for. This caused a lot of stress and is unacceptable for a course for which you pay thousands of UK £'s. 


One word of warning is that the time frame they give you for earlier tasks are very reasonable, but towards the end they become near impossible. The final suggested time frame occurs AFTER the end of support, which is concerning. This seriously needs reviewing because from the discord forum it looks like this happened to a few people, and some has to pay to get extension to their support. Hyperion need to review this. My advice is get two weeks ahead of this timeline before you get into the last month - you'll need it.
I did have calls with Mentors on a couple of occasions and they were useful in talking you through how to complete tasks. One mentor even took my task away and sent it back to me a day later with suggestions which was very helpful.
On two occasions I requested help through the ticketing system (once because the course materials mentioned additional reading which hadn't been provided, and once because one of my tasks was reviewed incorrectly) and received no help at all. I just gave up asking for help via the ticketing system.
I didn't do the course with University accreditation but I would be interested to hear if the level of support was better if you did the University accredited version of the course. I suspect if not, then universities might distance themselves from Hyperion.

Overall, it didn't meet expectations and is overpriced considering the level of support given.

As a current student at Hyperion Dev doing the online fullstack web development, I must say my experience of the program has been  exceptional from the well structured course material and brilliant student support. This bootcamp is definitely worth it!

The support system has been really helpful if i can say ,and they always responded really quickly. whenever I needed help they were always available and ready to help , and their aim was to see me succeed during the boot-camp , when I was falling behind they always sent messages asking what was wrong and in what way they can assist me , they provided me with technical support regarding my school work and also non technical support . I have to say that their services are one of the best services. They went so far as  providing me with someone  to talk to , regarding why I was falling behind and he could give me advice on how to keep on track.

I am completing my Software Engineering bootcamp on HyperionDev as a part-time student.
The curriculum is very apt for the industry and up to date with current practices.
As a student with 3 years of programming experience, i found the early content very basic and suitable for newbies. However, the tasks in the later stages did challenge my skills and i learned new and interesting concepts.

I am especially grateful to the mentors, who i contacted remotely, that were patient and helpful through my struggles. I also appreciated the time taken to mark my tasks and the valuable feedback i received.

On the other hand, i found it particularly frustrating when i attempted to call the office and seek support as not many consultants were available. Nevertheless, i did find satisfaction when i requested support via the online form and email.

One of the best institutions that gave me experience to real world problems, they also have the most experienced Mentors. They are also well organized as they allow you to book a call with the mentor of your choice whenever you get stuck
