Intense 9 weeks but worth it!
Read more Read less of Alejandra Iturri's review
I just finish the full-time UX/UI Ironhack program here in Miami.
I can say that Ironhack is a great place to study, teacher’s and staff in general are amazing.
Ironhack is a great place to network. I had a beautiful experience with all the people inside, they are like a family to me. You can notice that they select good persons with values, people that are hungry of learn more, increase their knowledge and succeeds in life. That is so important to me because it motivates you and gives you the right environment where you can grow. In order to achieve your goals and dreams you always have to work hard, and Ironhack was definitely another challenge for me.
Also, Ironhack not only host meetup events, but also let the students know the best events going on each week. It is reallhy interesting that every week there is a different person that is currently working in the field that comes in as a guest speaker.
So I can say that my overall experience was very positive. During an extraordinarily intense 9 week period I was exposed to a vast amount of information and tools to learn such as sketch, InVision and Flinto. That was great, because as I’m already a designer for almost 9 years, my goal was to learn more tools.
The location in Miami is building.co which for me is the best co-working office space in the downtown Miami. Great concept space, you have a great view of Miami that helps you to be inspired during the time you have to work on your projects.
Don’t expect to sleep, do expect a life-changing experience, be prepared to work hard, stay focus which can bring you to have new a more doors open.
The harder you work for something, the greater you’ll feel when you achieve it!!
To me success is not about money, it’s about what I design! Be passion about design!
As we all know no pain no gain!
Good luck!

A UX/UI experience which is Intense, practical and very rewarding.
Read more Read less of Michael Pace's review
This course manages to effectively balance the strategy and research side of UX with the design requirements of UI using a well thought out course plan and proficient teachers. Embedded into the lessons is a large amount of practical work which brings the learning to life and prepares you to overcome UX/UI challenges you are likely to face in the real world. One of the most important things I learned was UX was the rapid prototyping process which involves user testing after each prototype is created. Conducting user testing is an art form where it is easy to ask leading questions, but if done well it provides you information that can vastly improve the project. It can also sometimes be difficult to locate users who fit the target persona you are looking for when testing a product but the closer you get the better the results. My overall experience was very positive. During an extraordinarily intense 9 week period I was exposed to a vast amount of information which included up-to-date guidance on using tools such as sketch, InVision and Flinto which seem to be evolving on an almost monthly basis. The course was extremely practical and involved group and individual work to create four design projects, all of which provides good content for a design portfolio. The portfolio is how you will ultimately be judged by the design community and this was suitably stressed throughout the course. The staff were passionate about their subjects and knowledgeable and put in a considerable number of hours outside usual course teaching time to help out on projects. The location in Miami is building.co which for me is the best co-working office space in the downtown Miami area because it houses numerous tech companies so that all adds to the feeling that you are part of the tech community. Having just finished the course it is difficult to assess how the experience will impact my career but I am sure it will be significant as the skills obtained are becoming critical to any company that wants to stay ahead by creating good user experiences. As more communication and interaction with products moves to digital platforms, knowing the methodologies used in rapid prototyping, design sprints and user flows will only become more essential. I would recommend the course as it is comprehensive and draws on a lot of different resources. Don’t expect to sleep, do expect a life-changing experience which can launch a new career or boost an existing one.

I chose to go to Ironhack after graduating with a degree in psychology. After doing some research online I learned that if you want to start your career in UX a portfolio and networking are super important.
Ironhack offers multiple projects compared to some other bootcamps that only offer one. We did 2 group projects and 2 solo projects so whether working as a team is your thing or you prefer working solo Ironhack is a good choice.
Ironhack is a great place to network because they not only host meetup events, but also let the students know the best events going on each week. Also, every week there is a different person that is currently working in the field that comes in as a guest speaker.
That being said It is a very fast paced course, so come in prepared & stay organized. You get what you put into it.

I did the full time web development bootcamp and my experience here at Ironhack Miami was really great and something I will never forget. I did have a bit of coding experience which helped a lot throughout the 9 weeks but now I can say I really understand how to code out full stack applications. A huge thank you to my TAs and instructor for all of their help they were very talented and knowledgable on the material. The curriculum has a lot of great information and was spot on in my opinion as it was developed to really break down a lot of the concepts and will help you hone in on your skills. The course will give you the skillset to develop 3 applications for your resume. One game, a server side express app, and a full stack application using Angular. I am definitely optimistic on the opportunities after graduating from the course as students are already landing jobs even before graduation. The career placements manager, Brito will help you with your goals as long you put in the hard work. The Ironhack staff is very inviting and they are there to help you in any way they can with your journey into web development.

Ironhack, a great life experience
Read more Read less of Jose Luis Perez's review
It has been a great experience to be part of the Ironhack family notice I'm saying Family and no Staff because that is what they are a big, lovable family, from the pantry to the top. The immersive bootcamp at Ironhack beat all my expectations and more. Hands On program from the first minute, with highly skilled and experienced professionals who makes of the learning process a memorable event. UX DESIGN it's a revelation in my live , without knowing I was doing parts of the process in my daily routine. I can tell is a life change, a new universe, a great adventure. Thanks Ironhack for teaching me all the tools to success in this new career. I'll be always proud to be an #IRONHACKER -

Miami Part-Time UX / UI Course Review
Read more Read less of Carolina's review
Attending the first Part-time UX/UI Course on the Miami Campus was a decision I DO NOT regret. Why?
- The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and recognized in the field. On top of that, they are great human beings that want you to succeed. My co-hort had the pleasure of having Joel Mena, Alex Souza, Marcelo Paiva and Fernando A. as instructors during the course. All are passionate teachers with a wealth of knowledge and will go the extra mile if you show them you want to learn. They are awesome, I can't stress this enough.
- The Ironhack staff is friendly, genuine people who are always willing to help if needed. My first interaction with an Ironhack employee was the initial interview with Alia and it was such a great first impression that it set the rest of the experience for me. My interactions with Marisa, Danny, Pat and other members have been nothing but positive as well.
- The location of the campus is in a shared workspace for tech companies in Brickell. Ironhack takes up a good portion of the building that offers a cute outdoor patio, a clean and tidy environment (shout out to Maru, who is super nice and great at her job), a kitchen space with free coffee, tea, sparkling water, beer and fruit! You feel comfortable in the space and these amenities make your numerous hours they're very enjoyable. I'm going to miss the space.
- Brito, the Placements Manager at Ironhack will help a TON. Leading up to your final days you will see a lot of him. He will give you pointers on your resume, interview skills, Linkedin tricks, etc., etc. It helps that Ironhack in Miami has a great reputation, but Brito is very well-connected and does a fantastic job helping you land that job.
Things to note if you are planning on attending the course are expenses that you are not informed of during the interview process. The building does not offer parking, so you will have to pay street parking or nearby garage, around $12. You will have to purchase software, although at discounted educational prices, about $200.
You are expected to be in class, ready to go on time, not Miami time. Instructors have a curriculum to follow and do not like to fall behind. Don't be tardy to class and don't miss class either. It affects you and others around you.
There is Pre-Work to do before the course begins, take the time to do it. It definitely helps.
I took the part-time course, because I worked full-time. You will need to put in about 2+ hours on the days you don't have class to complete course work. It is challenging and time consuming, so prioritize and organize your life accordingly. I missed life events because I was either attending courses or doing homework. It's only for 6 months, you will survive.All in all YOU GET WHAT YOU PUT IN. If you are just getting by doing the minimum work the instructors and the staff will know and it will show in your projects too. Ironhack teaches the skills and gives you a "toolbox" of knowledge, but it is up to you to read all the modules, research on your own and do the work. There's so much to learn that Ironhack is really just a stepping-stone, but an important one. If you are a person that needs supervising or babying, this is not for you. No one is going to hold your hand. That's not to say they aren't there for you, but you need to show effort.
Would I recommend the Ironhack UX/UI course? Absolutely. Is it going to a lot of effort on our part? Absolutely. Is it worth it? Absolutely.

Went into Ironhack with almost zero coding experience, and left feeling confident in my abilities to bring value to my next employer. Instructors, expecially the TA's CARED for each student's growth and success during the program, and Daniel Brito, The Placements Manager provides thorough, yet simple to implement instructions on how to get a job after, and brings energy and passion to his work.
Not a perfect bootcamp, but from my point of view, pretty damn close. Thank you Ironhack, it was real.

If I had to summarize what is Ironhack, the word I use is Intensive.
If you love to learn, train, and realize that you can change the direction of your Job career in only 9 weeks, Ironhack is your place.
You will meet a lot of people with the different way of thinking and point of view, and that is Ironhack too, is like an small family, you will spend 12 hours per day the next 9 weeks, so maybe you will laugh or get angry about the code…
They have the best teachers, not only good in teaching, also good people.
Maybe If I would known before about Ironhack…
Well the good point is, that right now Im feeling like Im in the top of wave in my job carrer.
Thanks Ironhack :) -

Hey you, most probably you are in the situation I was half a year ago. You are maybe asking yourself if a bootcamp is the right thing for you. Six month ago, I was as indecisive as you right now. I tried out some online resources of really basic programming languages and noticed I really like it, however I was not sure if it is enough to put all on one card and pursue a career change.
Now after the bootcamp has ended, I can tell you that it was totally worth it. If you are a person that feels uncomfortable with the comfortable and aspire a career where you feel that your effort work is really meaningful than just go for it. In the review I try to stress out why Ironhack is the right choice for you. Enjoy the read : )
TEACHERS & CURRICULUM
I couldn’t think of better teachers than the ones from Ironhack. Learning from Andre, our main teacher, was an incredibly valuable experience. He is not at all comparable to any other teacher I met in the course of my academic journey. He is inspiring, incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in all realms of the industry. The same applies to the great technical assistants. Everyone is really eager to help you and motivate you throughout the course.
I don’t want to sugarcoat anything, the curriculum is intense and your personal outcome also depends a lot on yourself and how much effort you put in. Be consistent and don’t stress out when you don’t get a concept right a way. You will get there with sufficient practice. As Andre taught us, they give us the shoes; we are the ones to put them on. Apart from the curriculum, you will have the chance to educate yourself in related fields. Almost everyday there are events, lectures and workshops that you can attend.
BARCELONA OPEN SPACE
When it comes to the right location for you to attend a bootcamp, Barcelona is definitely the place to be; the city is vibrant, young and is known for its growing tech scene. I recommend you to make use of all the great facilities that the Ironhack office provides. You’ll have the possibility to be at Ironhack 24/7. The open space with all its facilities offers you the perfect place to unfold your potential and really immerse into the world of programming. There is also a flat upstairs with a nice rooftop to study and have a barbecue with your IH friends to unwind after hours of learning and coding. The staff really trusts you guys and gives you all the freedom you need to feel as comfortable as possible. They are all really attentive to your needs and are very perceptive to any feedback. In general, the staff is always friendly and always approachable with whatever question you have.
JOB PERSPECTIVES
Regarding job perspectives, it is a bit too soon to be opinionated since it’s two days since the bootcamp is over. However, if it helps you to get an idea, everyone from the previous cohort landed a developer job before our cohort ended. The placement manager as well as the rest of the team are really supportive and provide help with your portfolio. Also, the hiring week at the end of the bootcamp will help you to get in touch with different tech companies in Barcelona.
PREPARATION
I’d like to make a short remark for those of you who have no prior knowledge. Although the program does not require any prior preparation besides the pre-work, I strongly recommend you to prepare yourself upfront using free online resources with main focus on JavaScript. It will keep your frustration level lower in case you are starting from scratch. However, don’t feel intimidated by this, it is not required and you can go along without any pre-knowledge.
IRONHACK FAM
Last but not least, I would like to address a very special thing about the program. When applying for Ironhack, I mainly focused on the learning experience itself and haven’t thought so much about the positive factors that this course brings along. But believe me, it’s the piiiiipool that make this experience so unforgettable! Although you might think that 2 1/2 months are a pretty short time to build close relationships, the bootcamp will prove you wrong!! You will have an amazing time with amazing likeminded people and will grow close together as a group. The group dynamics were unbelievable. We did a lot of different activities where everybody was included from day 1. We had legendary Friday nights, did rooftop BBQs, ping pong tournaments, samba nights, skiing trips and so much more). The Ironhack quarter really becomes your first home, the people your family and coding the nexus between both!
If you are really thinking of pursuing a career change, don’t hesitate anymore and join the Ironhack fam. Ironhack nails it, so will you! : )

Miami Part-Time UX / UI Course Review
Read more Read less of Kat Alderman's review
I took the first part-time UX course offered by the Miami campus. The course started in August 2017 and ended in March 2018.
Here's what you need to know before you start:
1. There is pre-work, and lots of it. You will need to do this before you go to the first class - if you don't do it, I will find you and I will haunt you personally.2. You will need to find some kind of transportation that gets you to Ironhack or you will need to pay for parking. If you're bougie like me, there's a garage behind Ironhack and they do offer monthly parking, but their daily rate is $10. If you time it just right, your weekday classes will cost $6 to park there and the Saturday class will be $10. You can also find street parking around the area but pay attention to the signs!
3. You will have homework during the class - expect to spend 10 hours a week on this, excluding your class project and your capstone - you will spend more time on those and you might have a couple late nights building presentations. If you don't do your homework, I will find you and I will haunt you personally.
4. You'll want to make time for local events -- there are plenty for UX around the area and that is an excellent place to network.
5. When you're in the class, pay attention!
6. Your cohort will be full of people just like you. You might even become great friends with them - they are your network, and so are all of the Ironhack graduates. You'll find that this community is full of dedicated, hard working and caring individuals - we all want each other to be successful.
---
The instructors:
We had Joel, Marcelo, Alex and Fernando teaching us. I hope that every cohort has these teachers or at least similar people - I cannot express how awesome they were. All of our teachers were excellent life/career coaches to us and all of them have been continuously supportive and available to us no matter what day/time it is. Joel taught us mostly about the overall process, Alex taught us about research, Marcelo taught us about visual design and sketch/flinto, and Fernando taught us HTML/CSS/Bootstrap. All of the instructors are local heroes in the industry and all will be able to teach you every tool you need to become a successful UX designer.---
The staff:
The staff at Ironhack is amazing. You'll have a TA helping you through your exercise; lean on them for support! You'll also interact with the Ironhack staff at various events and they will come cheer you on in your presentations. I really love the staff at Ironhack because they are warm, caring, inviting and always available. Alia was my first introduction to Ironhack and she has been absolutely amazing. She helped me figure out that I would be a great fit for the UX program, and I am SO glad that she did.
The staff really went out of their way to come after hours to support us, even though they'd already worked a full day. They also came on weekends occasionally and I always felt like they cared about our success.
Brito will be available to you for career help and to walk you through how to find a job, how to interview, how to create a resume, etc. He is invaluable and extremely well connected. You have no idea how lucky you are :-)---
Overall:
I had the most amazing experience and I know that I can walk into any interview with confidence and the tools I need to succeed.
Everyone in my cohort really bonded; we are all group texting now and I know that each of us are rooting for each other's success. I will always be there to help my classmates and I know they'll be there for me, too!Honestly, a true testament to the fact that I like Ironhack and the teaching method so much: I decided to take the full-time front-end web development class, which graduates in June. This means I won't be joining my cohort's career fair, but I have no doubt my classmates will be successful and land their dream jobs :-)
Given the feedback that I've received throughout this course, I have no doubts I'll be able to land the perfect job when I'm ready to start looking.

Porque Ironhack ?
Read more Read less of Josep Salvat's review
Intentaré ser breve y conciso para los que quieran una review corta y sencilla:
Ironhack es el mejor bootcamp tanto si lo que deseas es cambiar de ámbito profesional como afianzar y/o mejorar tus dotes de programación. Personalmente, es la mejor decisión que he tomado y estoy super orgulloso de haberlo hecho.
Para los que quieran una review con mas información intentaré hacer hincapié en los puntos fuertes de este Bootcamp:
1- El temario: No solamente te enseñan a "programar" desde 0 sino que te preparan para ser autosuficiente una vez acabado el bootcamp. Me explico:
En Ironhack aprendes MEAN Stack (Mongo, Express,Stack Angular, Node) + HTML5 & CSS. Y esos conceptos aún con el poco tiempo con el que disponemos, arraigan en tu cerebro como si llevaras meses estudiándolos. Yo tenía un poco de Background en temas de CSS y HTML y en la primera semana ya estaba aprendiendo cosas nuevas que no sabía.
Una vez acabado el Bootcamp puede estudiar cualquier tecnología de manera autosuficiente. Esa seguridad que te da el aprender cosas nuevas y saber que puedes hacerlo, no tiene precio.2- El equipo: Teacher & Ta's.
- Decir impresionante, me quedaría corto, por lo que voy a decir únicamente que somos unos afortunados por tener a estos profesionales enseñándonos todos los días. André es una bestia en lo que a conceptos y manera de enseñar se refiere, personalmente es una persona muy cercana y se puede hablar con él de cualquier cosa. Sabe transmitir los conceptos de una manera sencilla y fácil de entender, y creedme, en este mundo no es nada fácil. Los TA's (teacher assistant) están ahí en cada momento en el que necesitamos ayuda y nos quedamos atascados en algún ejercicio y/o proyecto.3. La familia Ironhack.
- Desde el primer momento nos sentimos cómo en casa, nos dijeron que pasaríamos más horas ahí que en nuestra propia casa (no me lo creí al principio, pero... si, es cierto). Y es que al final, preferías quedarte aquí con tus amigos trabajando que irte a casa a hacerlo solo.El staff que está con nosotros es impresionante, desde el primer día te cuidan para que estés a gusto. Nunca han tenido una mala palabra, ni un gesto raro, ni una mirada especial. Estoy encantado de haberl@s conocido a tod@s, no sería lo mismo si no estuvieran aquí.
Las instalaciones son perfectas para el tipo de "trabajo" que estamos desarrollando aquí. Si tuviera que hacer mi propio Ironhack lo haría de la misma forma que lo hacen ellos, cada centímetro está pensado a la perfección para que los que estamos estudiando aquí como los que trabajan estén a gusto.
Finalmente y una de las cosas que me llevo y recordaré toda mi vida; los compañeros. Desde el principio congeniamos muy bien, la mayoría de nosotros estamos aquí para dar un cambio a nuestra vida laboral y en su efecto a nuestra vida en general. Tenemos muchas cosas en común y somos muy parecidos en la manera de ser (algunos más y otros menos) pero con el equilibrio que en todo sitio se necesita. Hacemos actividades conjuntas casi cada día (no es obligatorio!), desde Cervezas cada Viernes(y su fiesta posterior) hasta BBQ los fines de semana, Scape Rooms y visitas por la ciudad.
Finalmente, si has llegado hasta aquí es porque lo estás pensando muy seriamente, no lo dudes. Únete a la familia Ironhack y no te arrepentirás, yo no lo he hecho :)
Un saludo!

IronHack - A sky color palette
Read more Read less of Miguel Álvarez de Cienfuegos's review
Definitely, IronHack is a sky color palette of fellings and emotions. Each day you are going to live under a sky with differents colors. Some days the sky is going to be green, the color of hope, but when you think that everything is good the day turns red like hell.
IronHack is a roller coaster where you have to fight againts you, never give up! because when you thought that nothing could be worst under a dark sky, you can see in the horizon the sky turning blue, fresh and tranquilizer.
IronHack is a good oportunity to challenge your self and realize that imposible is nothing. At the end of this adventure you will be prepared to face every challenge in the life. They have goods professionals that will drive you in this exciting travel to get the best of you to arrive in mainland like a boat sailing through the storm under a grey sky.
At the end of all you will see the rainbow on the sky and its will be the moment when you realize that everything makes sense!

Good and intense bootcamp
Read more Read less of Beltrán Rengifo's review
You can get some solid JS skills in only two months, from ES3 to ES6 and TypeScript.
I think you'll get the most if you are not absolutely new to development and coding environments.
However, some of my colleagues were totally newbies and they've finished the bootcamp very well.Do it if you want to get some solid JS, HTML and CSS skills, but be aware of the intensity.
In my edition we learnt HTML&CSS&jQuery // Node&Express&Mongo // Angular5+all the backend
The Ironhack team does not have magic tricks, you need to give your best from day 1. -

Madrid Web Development Bootcamp
Read more Read less of Carlos Lorente's review
I´ve just completed the Web development bootcmap at Ironhack and I am very much satisfied with the knowledge I have aquired and with the experience overall. I came from a non-developping background (I´ve just graduated from Business and Law at IE University) so everything was new to me, from the tools used for coding, to the language itself. However, having mutliple Teacher Assistants and an excellent Head Teacher (Marc), alongside with cooperating for the completion of the daily exercises with the rest of students has made me learn the tools for building not only a simple website (which is pretty much what I was expecting from the course) but a proffessional platform. Managing databases, structuring projects, creating models, developping actions, building routes, designing the look of the platform and deploying the website once its done are a few of the core aspects of developping a website and at Ironhack they tackle each and every one of them in detail. Even though I am not planing on becoming a developer, I believe that these tools will be very useful for me in the future, specially if I end up working in the tech-industry.

Part-Time UX/UI Course
Read more Read less of Denise's review
I just completed the first Part-Time UX/UI Course at IronHack Miami. Now that it's over, I am confident that I have been given all of the tools I need to become a successful UX/UI Designer.
Regarding the course: the material is extensive, the pacing of curriculum is fast, and expectations are high. This has been the most intense educational venture for me (even more than my college degree). After everything, I couldn't be happier.
The most important part:
After everything I have done to get to this point, I can readliy tell you that IronHack is worth every single penny. These are just a few (of many reasons) why:
- The instructors and staff are genuinely invested in your success
- The curriculum evolves often to stay current with technology
- IronHack is a hub for many activities in the growing Miami ecosystem
- The alumni are extremely active, friendly, and easy to network with
- They care so much and really make the effort to connect you with job opportunities (thanks, Brito!)
Things to Consider
- When you are enrolled part-time, the workload is a lot more challenging to navigate. This is because you are required to attend 2 weeknights from 6:30pm-9:30pm, and all day Saturdays (that's not including study and project time). Consider what it might be like for you to balance IronHack with a full time job.
- Apply as early as you can, as mandatory prework is assigned for you to complete before the start of the course. It helps get you familiar with the material and be prepared before your first day. I completed mine over the course of a month (a few hours here and there), totalling about 40 hours to finish.
- There are expenses that you will incur that are not included in your tuition:
- Be prepared to pay for parking, as the school is located in Brickell. Parking is located on the street (estimated $2/hour) or in a nearby garage (flat fee $10/day)
- Also be prepared to have about $300 extra saved to download the software you need or for miscellaneous items (Sketch, Flinto, and I am forgetting the others at the moment)
- $50 for a FOB, which is a key for 24 hour access. It gets reimbursed to you once you are done with the course.
I think that covers it!
Overall thoughts: IronHack is the best bootcamp EVER and deserves way more than 5 stars!!! <3 <3

Attending Ironhack in Barcelona was one of the best choices I have ever made! A great immersive introduction to the coding world to anyone trying to make the 'shift'. Lead instructor Andre with real on-hand experience in the field teaches you what you need to start and what to be careful of! We even did agile methodologies from day one! TA's and Ironhack's staff are super helpful for anything you need and they make you feel like home. In addition to the course lessons, there are a lot of events and presentations going on where you meet people from the awesome tech and startup community and you learn things from growth-hacking to IoT! Totally recommended for anyone who wants to make a career change, learn how to code (futureproof yourself) or even Project Managers who want to improve the communication with their developers!

If you have doubts... just do it!
Read more Read less of Rocío's review
Before I sign up for the Web development bootcamp I had 1000 doubts: Am I prepared for this? Nine weeks of intense-class after all this time without studying? Does it really works? What happens if after all the effort, it's all for nothing?
Now, near two months after finished it I can say that it works, that it is possible to learn all these technologies in nine weeks and that it was probably one of the best decissions of mi live.
It is nine intense weeks in which you learn almost a new technology per week, a lot of new concepts and they takes you to the limit, but the reward is bigger enought: see that you can, that you're able to creat an functional app from zero in a technology of that you only knew its name one month ago...
Ironhack is a big family and you are part of it since the first day of bootcamp. Staff and teachers takes care of you all along the course and your classmates become friends and the ones who share your frustration, sadness, hapiness and, of course, ironbeers!
With all this, all I can say is: No doubts, just do it!
(And, of course, THANK YOU to the Ironhack Madrid Team, love u and miss u!)

I had the chance to experience the full time Ironhack web development bootcamp last October. Needless to say, the 9 week journey Ironhack provides is different to any kind of education i've been able to endure. It's a very fast-paced environment but truly rewarding:
- on a personal level: you find yourself constantly self-improving on a daily basis with the teamwork of your classmates and teachers. I have met some truly incredible people (both staff and students) that have inspired me since day one to keep going. Ironhack can be your second family if you put interest on your part, and that's a very high drive to keep setting yourself new goals.
- on an educational level: i'll be basing it from my experience in Madrid, but you receive class from a Lead teacher and have multiple Assistant teachers there to help you and not fall behind. In my case, not only were there 4 of them, but all four have insanely receptive qualities to make you feel comfortable enough to ask pretty much anything. Same goes for the rest of the staff.
- on a professional level: perhaps the most important and differential factor, Ironhack has their own recruiter/laboral department that is commited to helping students find a workplace they'll enjoy once the 9 weeks are finished. May you find a job a week after finishing or not, they'll keep in touch with you (and I mean REALLY keep in touch, via slack or in person on a weekly basis) until you find something that fits you.
On a final note i'd like to emphasize this: what YOU get out of Ironhack does not depend entirely and exclusively on them. It will also depend on the personal interest and motivation you have. The chance to network with hundreds of students from previous editions on a weekly basis is a fail-proof way to see that the model just works. It just depends whether you're compatible/comfortable with the idea of giving your 200% for 9 weeks of your life. Your previous experience (if any) does not matter.

An IronMan of Coding.... IronHack :)
Read more Read less of Maria Camila Maya Salas's review
I would like to tell you how was my experience in Ironhack, but I don’t want you to be to bore with details so I want to explain it a in a different way (Nevertheless If you want me ask for those details you can contact with me and I will be so happy to tell you more about).
Since the moment I decided to give a change in my career and become a Web Developer, I knew that it will be such a challenge, specially because of my Marketing and Design background.
I love sports and I'm a marathoner, so I could probably compare Ironhack’s web development bootcamp as a endurance race such as the IronMan, and it's funny because both names are similar, but once I finished my bootcamp, I realized that this two not only share part of their name but also its complexity, sacrifice, hard work, family feeling and specially the way you feel it when you finally became a finisher...
Ironhack bootcamp is pure sacrifice and hard work, but has a good part on all of this hard work, and its right when you just turn back your sight and see how much did you have learned and grow, how all that sacrifice seams to be materialize in some great projects that never dream to be able to do them… and you felt that all that effort worth it. It feels exactly as when you cross the finish line on a race, that feeling of happiness and satisfaction because even thought you though wouldn’t make it, you kept trying and you finally made it…
I'm not gonna lie, the frustration feeling is always there, waiting to you just give up, but don't be afraid cause you are not alone, there are a lot of greats TA that wants to guide you to finish your race, to achieve your dreams and the most important, helping you to give that frustration away and push yourself to do something beyond your own expectations.
I found a Family in Ironhack, among my classmates and teachers as well as the tools to confront any challenge that cross into my professional career. Also, I learned that I’ll never be alone, there's someone always looking after me and helps me to find the the right place and job where I can keep developing the skills that I've learned it in Ironhack.
I hope this little review will help you to decide wisely.
Keep Coding and never give up!

Trabajaba en una consultora Accenture, estuve allí 5 años. En uno de los proyectos en los que trabajé descubrí el mundo de UX/UI y no dudé ni un momento que tenía que dirigir mi carrera hacía ahí. Lo he disfrutado todo de principio a fin. Han sido 8 semanas muy intensas, en las que me he volcado 100%, cada día me despertaba con ganas de llegar a clase y seguir aprendiendo. Todo lo que me interesaba de UX/UI al ser cada semana un módulo he aprendido de todo. Lo que más me ha gustado es el ambiente en clase, somos como una gran familia al estar cada día aprendiendo y trabajando en los proyectos la experiencia ha sido genial!

When I joined Ironhack, I had some doubts about the quality of the teaching, since it is only two months of course. But nothing is further from reality, are two super intense months that make you go to the limit in both stress and learning, making you discover that you can give more than you had imagined.
After two months of course, you will be able to defend yourself as a web developer perfectly, and not only that, your desire for learning will probably increase and you will realize that there is nothing impossible to learn
If you are reading this and you have not signed up for Ironhack, if you have the opportunity, I strongly recommend you try it. You will not regret!. -

How should I describe my experience while attending Ironhack? It was simply GREAT.
In order to give you, my fellow reader, some insight about what was this bootcamp for me, I'll tell you that I am a Civil Engineer who decided to make a career change into Web Development. With no much knowledge about programming before Ironhack, I decided to prepare for some months before applying (something that you should try doing, because the bootcamp is freaking hard!), and then got into it.
The results? I can truly tell you that after finishing the Web Development bootcamp, I CAN perfectly work as a programmer, and feel really prepared for whatever comes in the future, because after this, you will feel that you can learn anything and will face challenges with no problem at all.
There is still a long way to go, but trust me when I say that Ironhack feels like the best educative experience I've ever had and wouldn't hesitate to repeat again.

Intense but worth it!

I've started this bootcamp with the intention of pivoting from digital marketing to UX/UI design. After completing it, I feel ready to start a career as a designer! I have acquired skills in applying UX methodologies and design thinking to various cases, and know how to make great wireframes in order to create a functional prototype. I still have a lot to learn abour UX / UI, of course. Even after several years in the field you are still learning about new practises. But while talking to professionals outside the bootcamp, I was told I progressed a lot in just 8 weeks and am really able to work on a professional project.
The teachers all come from a professional background so it's has been great to be taught by skilled people who are aware or the trends and best practices of their own field. The whole Ironhack team has been very welcoming and organized events related to our studies regularly.
As we were all together during the program, the other students became like a second family. Let's say that we had our load of joy and pain together! And since we are located in the WeWork Paris, building, we had access to very nice facilities.
These 8 weeks has been really intense so the ones who are enrolled in this program must be mentally ready to give a lot personal investment. But it's really worth it.

If you are looking for a really intense and powerful learning experience that will change your career, you are in the good place. Il you think that you need to chill out and to take things easy, run away or just stay where you are. It's called "confort zone" BTW...
At Ironhack you will have 9 weeks of challenges and hard work that will really push your limits. So take the challenge and dare! Just a tip, buy some vitamines before....work hard and keep smiling.

IronHack has been an amazing journey for me. With amazing instructors and incredible people around you, IronHack is worth it. If you are thinking of doing it (if you have the passion and willing to work hard), then don't think about it. Just do it.
We had an amazing instructor Nizar. He is truely gem. He knows in and out of the content he is teaching. He spots the errors in our code in just seconds. We were very lucky to have him as our instructor. He was very patient enough to help us understand the concepts. We were also well supported by our T.A Dapper Dan.
If you are looking for job after Ironhack, Brito (Our Placements Manager) is the man you should be in touch. He always pushes us to work hard. He knows almost everyone in Miami tech community. He brings amazing guest speakers during cohort. Just listen to his advice. If you put in your work, he will get you where you need to be.
Overall, IronHack has been an awesome journey for me. There is still so much to learn but IronHack has provided us the base to get started with it.

Just do it.

WARNING: This is the longest review ever. All right. I've been pretty excited to write this review. Honestly, these reviews were what helped me make a decision and although I’ve never written a review before for anything, I knew this one I had to write. I wondered what I would be writing once I finished the course; and I have to say that probably midway through the course I already knew: Just do it. So, this review has two parts two it: Before Ironhack and During Ironhack. I wanted to give my story so that you have some context and maybe it’s similar to your own story and helps you make a decision. And if that doesn’t matter to you, then just scroll down to the second part :) BEFORE IRONHACK Upon my college graduation (earning a degree in communications — so not technical at all), I found a job for a small company located in a WeWork while still holding a part-time job at a restaurant. At WeWork, naturally, the job feed was filled with posts for developers. I saw how much opportunity there was and I decided to play around with programming with many of the free resources online. After realizing that it was something I could pursue professionally, I decided to quit my job at the small company so that I can work full-time at the restaurant and study so that I can become a developer. (Working for a restaurant is not as mentally strenuous as an office, so I figured I can at least make a living and study.) Fast-forward a year. I was still working at the restaurant and I was still studying. I missed my personal deadlines and extended deadlines before I thought going to a bootcamp would be a good choice. I was really reluctant to do a bootcamp because, honestly, the information is freely available out there so why should anyone pay for it. But I realized that the money that I would have saved by studying on my own, I already lost. If I had done the camp sooner, I could have had a job in tech sooner and I could have made back my investment already. Granted, some people can study this own their own and that’s awesome; I, however, am not one of these people. I could say that my only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner, but, honestly, I’m glad I ended up in the cohort I did because I met some amazing people that greatly impacted my experience. DURING IRONHACK Oh man. The first week wasn’t bad. We went over material that I had covered on my own so I felt pretty confident. The week after that? Yeah, things got harder. What’s interesting about the experience is that some concepts will just click and you’ll feel good about what you learned that day. Other days, some concepts just won’t click and you’ll leave with a pounding headache and feeling defeated. But you’ll come back the next day. You’ll go over that concept again — while learning a new one — and you’ll keep doing that. Eventually, it just clicks — but I really have to give thanks to Nizar, our instructor, for helping that happen. Nizar knew our weak points and knew what he was going to have to go over and over again. Sometimes he sounded repetitive, but the man knew what he was doing. A little more about Nizar — he is an incredibly talented teacher. When you ask him questions, he won’t just give you the answer. He’ll guide you so that you arrive to the answer. And like I mentioned before, he knows students’ trouble spots. Sometimes he would jump through certain bits of the curriculum because he knew it would be better for our learning. He was even willing to give us extra time — during our final project week, we stayed with some of us until midnight helping put out all our fires. He didn’t have to do that. And I think the other amazing thing is that he was always encouraging you. He could tell that sometimes I would get frustrated, and he would just remind me kindly/matter-of-factly, “It’s going to get easier with time.” The rest of the staff at Ironhack is amazing too. They’re all so interested in making sure that you have the best possible experience; granted, it's in their best interest to put out the best quality product, but they work hard at it and they know you’re here to change your life and they don’t take that lightly. They do weekly surveys so that they can constantly improve. They don’t just treat you like customers but like friends, sharing with you about their lives and experiences. And overall, they’re just genuine people which adds positivity to the environment. Another staff member you’ll be interacting a lot with is Brito. He’s going to become more important later on in the course as you start getting ready to go to market. And, of course, he becomes really important as you actually go to market. The guy has a ton of connections (and he wants you to exploit them) and he is there to help you (and he will help you) — you just have to do your homework. (Some students got hired before we even graduated because of his contacts.) He is also the guy to tell it like it is — and that’s exactly what you want with someone who is supposed to help you land a job. Another amazing thing about Ironhack is the environment. But again, the environment is founded on the people. You get to go everyday to this awesome co-working space surrounded by like-minded individuals. People who have decided to make a change in their lives and just go for it. That momentum is was catapulted my learning. I had peers who I could turn to when I needed help or they turned to me for help. You have an amazing support group for when you’re down and wonderful people to laugh with when you need a little break when you’re staying until 10 or 11 pm coding away. It’s really hard to find that and Ironhack has found it. Overall, I wouldn’t trade my experience at Ironhack for anything. The environment is awesome, the staff is awesome, and the material is awesome. But the most important thing I learned (and I know you’ve already read this) is how to learn. Even with that year that I spent learning on my own and even taking a paid course at MDC, I learned more at Ironhack after the first week. This is just the tip of the iceberg and there is so much more to learn, but now I can build and learn while I do it. Do research, make a change, and give it your all. Wherever you decide to go - just do it. -

Honestly since day one Ironhack takes it to the next level , with everyone in the staff. the detail content that i learned is beyond my expectentions I know for a fact that the knowledge I gained is going to help me in the future.
When it comes to Maite (Instructor) I'm extremely grateful of her passion for UX/UI and how she pushed us everyday, every hour to be better user friendly designers even at points of frustration and exhaustion the motivation was still strong. Everyday she came up with beautiful slides and sources of motivation for our cohort.
Our good cop Keri (TA) with her im just speechless, for a recent graduate Keri is an example of good designer and a beautiful human being .
Brito, if you just listen to this guy's directions you'll be extactly where you want to be in your career path in no time. Overall words can't really emphasize the support, good quality of content and amazing staff Ironhack has prepared for future alumni.

UX/UI Bootcamp Graduate December 2017

Why I Did the Bootcamp
I have a business background and decided to get into UX earlier this year. If you look me up in Medium, over the holidays I will be posting a much longer post on how I made the decision to get into UX.
Many folks have learned and practiced design and web development on their own. Make no mistake, it can be done - but since I don't have a design background, I wanted a program that could guide my learning. But guess what - all of the other 8 students in the class had a design background of some sort and they found it worth to take the course as well.
The thing about design is that it's more than just making something look good. It's about knowing how to solve a specific problem, applying best practices, AND making it look good. And you can't do that in a vacuum, you need others to critique your work, you need to know how to work with clients and you need to know how to work with developers. And that's what Ironhack exposes you too.
Before taking the course I read reviews not just about Ironhack, but about coding and design bootcamps in general, and some of the reviews were pretty bad. Some said they didn't prepare you for an actual job in the real world, that they were just diploma mills and wanted your money. I can't speak for the other bootcamps out there, but Ironhack is ballin'.
Finally, I am from Washington, D.C., relocating to Miami. Getting into Miami Tech seemed daunting; I didn't know anyone, didn't know what companies were hiring, didn't know any contacts. And now that I've just graduated, I can say while looking for a job is still a challenge, it is in no way daunting. I know my stuff and I know what's out there.
About Ironhack
Before applying for the course, I visited Ironhack and one other bootcamp in Miami in person. Irohnack is located at Building.co, a coworking space in Brickell (downtown Miami). Right now I'm typing this to you from the rooftop patio on the third floor. It's baller. More importantly, our classrooms are nestled in between real tech companies that occupy space in the building. At least once a week I run into the startup founder that won Refresh Miami's Tech Demo Day in October. I'm not just learning about tech, I'm bathing in it. Further more, the vibe here is just different. I feel like I'm wanted here, like I belong here. I've made what I think will be lifelong friends.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the staff here is just... the real deal. Really. And they're respected in Miami Tech - I know this from attending networking events and mentioning that I'm an Ironhack student. I've only gotten positive responses from saying that.
Alia, the GM, personally called me to congratulate me on getting into the program. When my wife came to visit the course one day, she welcomed her as if she was another student. You can't fake that.
Brito, the placements manager, is so well connected he probably knows Barack Obama and Obama doesn't even live in Miami. And he's sincerely interested in our success.
Marisa, the program manager, and Pat, the admissions manager, are similarly supportive and friendly.
And finally, for the UX/UI fulltime bootcamp this past fall, we had the most amazing Instructors, Maite and Kerri. Maite had done UX in Paris, London and I think New York and is world class. Seriously. She eats, sleeps, drinks UX. Like I'm almost worried for her sometime that she needs to get to the beach more. :-) . She pushed us very hard to be our best, yet I knew everyday she cared for us. You can't fake that.
Keri, our TA, had completed the course previously and was the cheerleader we all need when completing a program like this. It's hard. If you give it the level of effort you need to be a great designer, it's even harder. And she was always there, answering our questions and encouraging us through frustration.
In Conclusion
I don't know what the future holds. There are no guarantees. I know it's hard out there. But as far as it relates to my professional life, where we all spend the majority of our days, I'm more hopeful than I've been in a long time.
Whether you choose to do a bootcamp or not or Ironhack or not, if you're reading this I hope you find peace and meaning in whatever you do, and live courageously enough to work through fear and pain to better yourself and others.

Before I started Ironhack I did not know how to build a web page or even understand code. But after a 9 week course with an amazing instructor ("Nizar") and a great aid ("Dapper Dan"), I have learned many valuable skills and can create a webpage and/or site, as well as understand code in general.
I believe the most important thing I learned at Ironhack would be learning how to read code and debug issue's that I may come accross in my future while as a developer. Along with the help of a great placement manager ("Brito"), the future has many doors that will surely open up for my career change into the tech industry.
The staff at Ironhack is very pationate and always willing to help or give advice if needed. Ironhack is by far one of the better life choices I have made in my life and I would reccomend it to anyone looking to learn how to code. The entire staff deserves an award for the amazing work they do here at the school.

You Can't Go Wrong with Ironhack
Read more Read less of Alejandra Del Valle's review
If you're wondering whether you should join a coding bootcamp (and you are GENUINELY interested in pursuing it), stop what you're doing and APPLY RIGHT NOW.
The reason I write the above first is because that is what I saw in several reviews I had read when searching for the right bootcamp. Yet, every time I would always think to myself, "Is that really the truth, though? Will I regret making the jump?" So before I write the rest of my review, I can tell you that those reviews were right!
Before joining Ironhack, I was working at a digital marketing company in operations and product development (and before then I had just graduated with a bachelor in Architecture), so clearly I had zero coding experience prior to Ironhack. After about a year of debating whether I wanted to make a career change, I found Ironhack. I put my fear aside and reached out to ask for a campus tour here in Miami to get the ball rolling.
Application Process: The first person I met at Ironhack was Alia, and Alia does NOT dissapoint! I felt such a great energy from her and genuine interest in getting to know me and understanding why I wanted to join their program. Shortly after, I applied and scheduled my three interviews (general interview with admissions, career interview with Brito, and a technical interview where you must solve a coding challenge). All three interviews went great (again...the only experience I had was working with developers, but never the actual coding aspect). The moment I received a phone call from Alia that I was accepted into the program I immediately felt two things: extreme excitement with a side of fear of "what did I just get myself into."
Cohort (9 weeks): The structure of the class is exactly as they describe it on the site. Grab your coffee in the morning, learn, code, lunch, learn and code (did I mention the coffee is free and unlimited?!). What really made the course, though, was our instructor Nizar and we were so lucky to have him! The way he explains the concepts is very clear for the most part and, to someone with no coding experience, I was able to understand what he was teaching. He never says no when you need help, and what's great about it is that he doesn't just hand the answers to you. He makes you think about what it is you're doing and what you need to do to get there. Now, I'm not saying your journey will be easy, because it won't be. You need to put in the time inside and outside of class to make sure you're not falling behind. The course moves quickly, so it's very easy to fall behind if you're not keeping up. You will feel like (and I can only speak from the perspective of someone with zero coding experience), "Holy crap, there is an entire universe of coding that I did not know about," but don't get overwhelmed! Don't let it discourage you, but do expect to be learning for the rest of your life as we all know how quickly technology can change.
Finding a job: Brito, the recruitment manager at Ironhack, is also someone you will meet and never forget. Keep in mind, he is not there to hand you a guaranteed job on a silver platter at the end of the cohort - and he will make that very clear. He does a great job of coaching you on what networking events you should attend, what you need in your LinkedIn and in your resume, and is available whenever if you have any questions or need help. There is also a hiring fair where companies come in to sit and interview with you, I have yet to experience it as our fair is not until January, but it's great to know that we get the opportunity (thanks to Brito) to have that chance of "speed-dating" with several companies who are looking to hire.
Overall, my experience was amazing. I don't regret making the jump and am lucky to have been able to attend Ironhack. For the past 9 weeks it never felt like I was going to "school" and I was always excited to go in the next day to learn something new. The environment, staff and vibe of Ironhack was the cherry on top and I'm so glad that I chose to stay in Miami and attend their course. If you're reading this and you're still wondering whether you should apply....just do yourself a favor and do it already :).

Just Do It

Before joining Ironhack, I was apprehensive at investing a few thousand to attend a coding bootcamp. I ended up taking the risk and choosing to go with Ironhack. There was not one day during my time at Ironhack that I regretted that decision. It has been one of the best and most powerful choices I have made, because it literally has life changing consequences.
What I came to realize, is the initial investment in a coding bootcamp, is exactly that … an INVESTMENT in yourself. Forget investing in other things that you have little control over, because the best choice you can make is investing in yourself by investing in your own education. I did weeks of research prior to joining Ironhack, and without any doubt it is the best coding bootcamp in Miami. I never felt like anyone was being fake with me, I never felt like I was being treated like a “number” in some education mill … this is absolutely nothing like that. My professor was Nizar and he was extremely intelligent, kind, and was accessible at all times. The whole staff is. One of the cool things about Ironhack, is witnessing staff members like Nizar, Brito, and even guest speakers, just staying for hours after their shift ends to teach and talk more with fellow students… When you see these things, you come to realize that Nizar, Brito, the guest speakers, all help because they truly love their job. I think thats really the key difference your going to find, its like this perfect crew of people who love what they do, are passionate, and love playing a key role in helping others in their journey to success.

I just completed Ironhack's full-time UX/UI Design Bootcamp in Miami and I have to say it's probably one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself. The amount of knowledge and new skills you acquire in such a short amount of time is pretty amazing.
The most important skill I learned through the course was how to problem solve. The process of problem solving that we were taught isn't limited to just websites or apps, it can be applied to absolutely ANYTHING. Maite (Instructor) and Keri (TA) were such a great team that complimented each other. They were knowledgeable, resourceful, passionate and extremely supportive of everyone in the cohort which made for an excellent learning environment. They really knew the material and I'm so glad I was able to learn from them. Aside from Maite and Keri, everyone on the Ironhack staff were always friendly and helpful. One of the most helpful people there is Brito. He genuinely wants to see you land a job and he sets you up with the tools to do it.
I have to say that my overall experience at Ironhack was amazing. I made new friends and I learned new skills. It was very challenging at times, but totally worth it.

I come from the world of Advertising and Public Relations and until joining Ironhack I have worked in my own advertising agency, Green Proiekt, being responsible for the creative and design part.
Before Ironhack I had only worked on the Web design side, but I had never programmed before.
After finishing Ironhack, I can say that I have learned new technologies such as Angular, Nodejs, Express, MongoDB, Javascript...
It's an extremely hard Bootcamp in terms of the amount of content that is taught in just 9 weeks, but the level at which you leave the bootcamp is pretty high for a junior programmer position.
If you want to take advantage of the bootcamp you must take it seriously and focus only on the programming during those 2 months.
I recommend it for people who want to change their professional career, as well as people who want to complement their profile with the knowledge that is taught.
