Incredible Experience With Incredible People

When I first signed up for Ironhack I kept asking myself if I made the right decision. I was concerned about the price, if I would really get hired, if I'd leave feeling accomplished and fulfilled with the curriculum, and if it would all be worth it at the end.
All my doubts were crushed within the first week of the cohort. I loved our instructor, the entire staff, and made instant friendships with a good amount of my class. I was learning so much in a small amount of time, I felt pressure, but the pressure felt good. Every day I'd learn something new and with the curriculum, I was able to apply it right away to a project of my interest.
Prior to Ironhack, I was confused about what I wanted out of my future and thanks to this opportunity I know have the skillset to enter an evergrowing field that is highly in demand and is only growing with the technology around the world. I had received two phone interviews before even graduating so the hiring rate is real. If you work hard you will get opportunities, there is no doubt about that. I hope to close a job offer before the holidays to start 2018 with a career in this new field.
Thank you again Ironhack, you changed my life.

An amazing and memorable experience

I just graduated from the full-time UX/UI design program and these last 9 weeks were life-changing. I'm not even exaggerating. Our teacher Maite taught us so much and really helped us to understand the material. All my classmates have become like my second family.
The school is in a beautiful building located in Brickell with an amazing staff. Someone even brings us coladas every day at 3:05 pm!
Brito has been great at preparing us for interviews and helping us find jobs. I highly highly highly recommend this program. I'm so grateful for it.

Game changer!
Read more Read less of Alejandro Roman's review
I was part of the Oct-Dec 2017 cohort at the Miami campus. This has been hands down the best decision I've made in my life. It is most certainly a game changer. If you are thinking about it, my advice, stop thinking and do it! I understand most people considering a web-dev bootcamp might be overwhelmed at the idea. However, it is not like what you are thinking, this is not a traditional college lecture or highschool classroom ( time flies by ). This is a new home and a new family. I think there was only one person in the cohort who had a degree related to computer science, other than that person, no one including myself had a computer science background. We still succeeded, in just 9 weeks we already had 3 projects under our belt and being able to do full stack apps on our own.
Much of what makes Ironhack what it is, is how the faculty interacts with each other and with the students. Their work culture is so amazing, they have a special type of relationship, nothing like I have ever seen before. Of course this translates to the students. The staff develops a relationship with the students and in my opinion this improves experience so much.
The learning doesn't stop there. At least for me, I took to learning other things during my free time. Things that weren't necessarily part of the curriculum, but I wanted to take advantage of having an instructor to which I could ask anything any time (literally any time. My instuctor would get back to me on Sundays! ).
Ironhack gives you all the tools you need to succeed. From how to write amazing software, to what to say to future employers (more of this below). Like anything in life the you have to do the work, but my Ironhack family definitly made so much possible. The most important tool that I learned at Ironhack was how to "LEARN". You can't expect to become a the best developer in 9 weeks, but you can expect you will graduate with knowledge on how to become one! If you put in the work, I can guarantee you this.Nizar, our lead instructor is the man! The guy is legit one of the smartest people I've met, and one of the most patient as well! Trust me, dealing with me is no easy task. However, he was always there for me, and like I mentioned above, he even answered my questions on a Sunday. Rarely (very rarely) will he give you the answer to your problems directly, he does much more for you, he tells you how to be resourceful and where to look or something along those lines. You end up solving the problem on your own and because of this, you learn so much more. The whole teaching staff is amazing, Ironhack always have great T.A.s. Our T.A. Dappered dan was the man. He was also always accessible.
The experience does not end there. At Ironhack, they have a placement manager. His name is Daniel Brito. What do you need to know? Brito is one of the most connected people I've ever met. Everyone in the South Florida Tech ecosystem ( maybe all of South Florida ) knows who Brito is. His background makes him the most qualified person for the role. His been on both sides of the table when it comes to hiring. If you decide to take the course, make sure you follow his every word. Why? Well I did, and I had a job before the cohort ended. He will also never write your resume for you or give you an answer directly, but you can expect the most detailed feedback you could ever imagine. He knows exactly what employers look for and will get you to where you need to be if you put in the work!
I can comfortably say Ironhack that has changed my life and I am very grateful for this! -

It has been intense and amazing. I began with almost no knowledge of programing and during the course I’ve been able to build by my own 3 different websites. Really happy with my teacher André and the TA (assistants). The rest of the staff was always willing to help, including individual interviews to know our concerns and suggestions to improve. My experienc at Ironhack it's been worth it!

Before initiating my experience un Ironhack, I was working in an Industrial Design studio in Pamplona bigD as Industrial Designer. Additionally, I was a teacher in the school of design, Creanavarra, giving Marketing classes applied to design to students of product design.
My experience at Ironhack has been incredible. The teachers, mates, TAs and the whole Ironhack family have infected me with the enthusiasm of a new world. Living the Ironhack experience helps you to leave your comfort zone totally, and challenges you every day, in a way that you end up doing incredible things that you never thought you would be able to do. I have learned a lot of things not only in the technical field, but also personally. I have learned to improve myself every day, believing that all of us are capable of anything we propuse ourselves. Of course, I take everything away from all the teachers that have taught us and who are real cracks!
The most important thing I keep from Ironhack is, without any doubt, the Ironhack family. I think this is what defines Ironhack, we help each other, we support each other and we give love one to another.
I would definitely do it again and again!

Soy director de arte y diseñador con experiencia de más de 16 años entre agencias de publicidad y estudios de diseño.
He trabajado en diferentes proyectos tanto online, como offline y tv a lo largo de estos años.
Para marcas como Juegos Empresariales, Bodega Privada, Bizz Global, Grupo AVISA, Canal+, Yomvi Cinesa, Morato+infinito, Mediaset España, Cuatro, Digital+, El País, Prisacom, Red Bull, Coca Cola, Telefónica, Terra, Santillana, BBVA, Carrefour, Citroën, Trek, Repsol, Banco Santander, Opel y Volkswagen entre otros.
Actualmente soy freelance pero desde hace tiempo sentía la necesidad de que ciertos procesos de trabajo no se estaban realizando adecuadamente y fue por ello que descubrí IRONHACK pues una amiga, que ya había realizado el Bootcamp, me comentó que aquí aprendería lo que necesitaba saber para resolver las dudas que tenía al respecto.
Fue por ella lo que me animó a experimentar estas interesantísimas 8 semanas de BootCamp.
Reconozco que aunque se trabaja mucho no, muchísimo para poder aprender en tan poco tiempo las metodologías actuales UX/UI que hacen que los desarrollos de productos digitales lleguen a buen puerto, estas 8 semanas me han servido para al menos sentar las bases de lo que podrán ser proyectos bien construidos.
Todo se consigue gracias a un profesorado a la altura de los tiempos. Profesionales del mundo digital muy actualizados que crean grandes productos digitales que usamos en nuestro día a día, el equipo organizativo de IRONHACK que son unos cracks y unos alumnos (mis queridos compañeras/os) que hacen que todo esto cobre sentido y puedas conseguir lo que te propongas. Todo junto se crea la receta perfecta.
Sólo no puedes, con amigos si.
Gracias a todas/os

Before Ironhack I worked at energy consultancy as a visual designer and frontend developer. I have felt passionated for a long time about UX, and the bootcamp has made sense to all product process. It has given me an expanded and deeper vision of what I do. Learning from your classmates enriches your work a lot. Ironhack has offered me many opportunities for both career and personal growth.

UX/UI IronHack

Era y soy consultor y auditor de accesibilidad. Analizo webs y aplicaciones móviles, haciendo análisis con producto de apoyo, como por ejemplo lector de pantalla, y analizando sobre propio código html para que los productos digitales cumplan con el estándar de la W3C, que en España es de doble A. Mi experiencia ha sido muy buena, una experiencia muy intensa, con mucho aprendizaje, y a partir de ahora hay que poner en practica todo lo aprendido y aprender muchísimo más.
Aunque mi trabajo actual es intentar hacer las tecnologías accesibles, siempre he tenido en cuenta la parte de código y como acceden los usuarios con discapacidad a la información. Con la perspectiva que me da esta formación creo que he abierto mucho mi mente, ya que creo que en la actualidad puedo crear un producto digital desde el principio teniendo en cuenta la parte del usuario desde el punto de vista de la experiencia que tiene el usuario al acceder a los productos digitales complementándolo con mi experiencia de hacer los contenidos accesibles siguiendo los estándares de htlm 5. -

After working 2-3 years in small startups as a web developer I realised that UX design is crucial and I wanted to learn about it. #becaWallapop came along and I knew it was meant to be! I was finally selected and began the UX/UI Bootcamp, after two months of work and emotional intensity, it’s the first time that I finish a course having the conviction that I have the resources to face a new professional stage.

Intense and amazing - loved it!

Although I was originally accepted into Ironhack’s Web Development course, it was the UX/UI Design bootcamp that I ended up enrolling in. Why? After taking a weekend course on the topic, I was convinced this could be of value for many of my new endeavors. I am happy to say it was even more valuable than I could have expected.
Having recently co-founded an accelerator for early-stage startups and left a 10-year career in higher education, I wanted to expand my knowledge in regard to technology and more importantly gain a set of skills to help me with my new adventures. Within the first week, I knew I had made the right decision.
Our first week was based on Google’s design sprints. This week alone was incredibly informative and eye-opening. Coming from an educational background where serious research and highly statistical data is required to test theories, I was intrigued by the methods we used to make decisions. I quickly learned the value of asking questions, prototyping early and often, testing quickly, and listening to the user.
Each week was filled with a new instructor who not only brought real experiences to share, but also took a vested interest in ensuring we learned and practiced the material assigned for the week. During the entire course we were also assigned a TA, Horacio, who was a previous graduate of the course and fully committed to helping us with both content questions, as well as professional questions.
Another benefit of the program was the weekly guest speakers who were brought in to share their experiences and advice. Hearing from real professionals who were practicing varying aspects of UX/UI in their current roles really helped understand the concepts we were learning. We were also provided with a career placements director, Daniel Brito, who helped us prepare our resumes, portfolios, and interview skills. At the end of the program, he put together a career fair for us to participate in real interviews with local companies.
While the course content was valuable and informative we also had the pleasure of having the course held at Build.co in Brickell. As a result, we had access to the tech workspace 24/7, including a kitchen area equipped with fresh espresso, sparkling water, and beer on tap. The staff at Building.co and Ironhack were all extremely helpful and friendly. At no time, did it feel like we were outsiders. Many times, our group even stayed after for an event taking place within the building.
Overall, I would highly recommend Ironhack of Miami. Their dedication to curriculum, instruction, and revisions for improvement is far above average. I enjoyed the projects, which included the option to work on our own items at times, and had the most amazing group of people in my cohort. The opportunities to utilize the content covered and connections made are vast.

My best professional experience

My experience at IronHack can be resumed as AWESOME. Teacher and TAs are very professional, and subjects of the course contains the latest web developments techniques. Facilities are unique in Madrid, surrounded by park and river. And best of it is how they focus the classes and the programming: they empower us to do our best and continue learning even on the hardest situations. One of the key points that made me recommend IronHack is the people that you share your time with. All them are very motivated and have the same concerns, so that helps you to develop new and more complex projects. After the bootcamp, my professional network has increased exponentially.
I encourage recommend this course/experience!! ;)

A Literal Life Changing Experience
Read more Read less of Robert ("Arjay") Jones's review
I had initially been looking at Web Development bootcamps for about two years prior to finding Ironhack this was partly due to mixed articles about these kinds of programs as well as the technologies some of the programs taught. I had reached a point where I was tired of working stagnant retail and call center jobs, and wanted to see if I could really turn my hobby into a career.
Shortly after moving to Florida, I had been told about Ironhack from a friend and figured I may as well apply. Alia had contacted me back within about 15 minutes, and I was scheduled to come in a few days later. The interview process was not complicated, and the staff I spoke with did a great job of outlining the program. My biggest concern was that without having a college degree, and without any previous work experience, that a program like this still wouldn't help me, however Daniel Brito did a great job of explaining how to work around those things. I had also been doubting that I would have the bare minimum skill needed to pass the technical interview, which ended up going well (So don't doubt yourself on this!).From the very first week, week 0, I decided I would start showing up to finish up some of the online prework that was assigned before the course started, this was the first time I met Kevin, on of the TAs, who was very friendly, and had a manner of encouraging learning without just handing you answers.
After the first week started our primary instructor Nizar gave us a run down of what our schedule was going to look like, and I'll admit it was intimidating. Nizar however, had a manner of teaching that made the fact that we were learning a LOT more enjoyable than stressful. In addition to that, the TAs Kevin and Ariel both out host break-out sessions throughout the week to focus on different concepts that some were struggling with, and held these sessions in a way that students would also be able to participate. To compliment the technical side of learning the skills needed to become a software developer, Daniel Brito also regularly would teach us the Ins-and-Outs of the career side: Networking skills, community events, resume building, etc. and this was something that was very unique and welcomed. I had expected this to be like most traditional schools where they will teach you skills and concepts, but will leave you on your own when it comes to getting employed for those skills. This also brought about the possibility of learning beyond the scope of the Ironhack curriculum, as we were actively encouraged to attend events and meet people in the tech scene who were established developers, entrepreneurs and startup founders who also were willing to share their knowledge, some working in the same building as Ironhack was located.
Now with all those "pros" being said, it should be noted that while not exactly a "con" there are some things to keep in mind: They call this a bootcamp, and that is a very accurate word to describe it. It's not easy, but it's not impossible either. Unlike traditional schooling, you wont get a degree for simply showing up and goofing off. We had to do projects that applied everything we learned, and the time given to complete these project was 1 week, and then they had to be presented to both the class, and occasionally other people who were in the building. Before Ironhack, I had written some scripts and small programs for fun, but they were never seen by anyone, and now I had to not only show it to my instructors, but to several people?! It stands as one of the most stressful things that I would gladly do again. What was great about this though is that it conditions you for what is expected of you in the industry, and by the end, these presentations were more fun than stressful.Ultimately Ironhack teaches you how to stand on your own in a relatively new and rapidly changing industry, and teaches you how to continue teaching yourself long after you leave the program, so that your skills will stay competitive. Nizar is a master of both writing code, and teaching it. Kevin and Ariel were great at encouraging us when we got stuck or stressed out, and also making things fun. Daniel Brito will make you into a rockstar when it comes to networking, job hunting, and building a presence for yourself in the tech community of your choice. Thanks to the well crafted curriculum, and the great staff, I've now gone from a guy who had moved from working in aerospace to working at grocery stores and call centers, who wrote simple programs on the weekend for fun, to a Full Stack .Net Developer at a company who's 2 week development sprints are a walk in the park compared to the 1 week high-pressure sprints for Ironhack's projects.
If you are on the fence about whether or not you should attend a program like this, and are serious about becoming a web developer by profession, then this program can change your life.

Great experience!

I decided to enroll Ironhack after a year struggling to learn to code by myself. The online courses will teach you a lot but there's one and the biggest advantage of live word and that is - that’s able to teach you to develop not just your skills but your mindset as well. Speaking about that, the best thing for me was getting the ability to learn how to actually learn to code and how to find good resources which gives me opportunity to gain new skill sets now on my own.
The people working in Ironhack are super friendly and always available to meet you on any way - to share their knowledge, their experiences and their resources with us. Out TA was Nick Borbe, truly amazing man who dedicated himself the most during our cohort and spent a lot after hours with us, especially during our final project weeks. Big thanks to this awesome guy!
Speaking of people who gave the most knowledge and their precious time to us, besides Nick, there’s one more name there - Nizar. His pure passion for this profession can be seen and felt from the far, and his ability to solve your issues just by taking a short look at your code is just amazing.
In the very end, there was the hiring fair. Our placement manager Daniel Brito gave us a lot of useful instructions and we spent a week preparing for the upcoming interviews with him and his guest speakers.
So overall, I don’t regret a second for choosing Ironhack. Spending six months with a group of great people who share the same passion and taking this road with them, was the best decision I made. I would highly recommend taking this course to anyone who has interest and passion for web development.

Antes de Ironhack trabajaba en turismo. Mi puesto era Guest Experience Manager en el Melia Paradisus Varadero en Cuba. Me gustaba mucho, los retos diarios me hacían crecer como persona y encontrar nuevas maneras de solucionar problemas en un País en pleno desarrollo. No obstante la programación desde siempre tenía un lugar especial en mi corazón y a la vuelta de Cuba buscaba la manera de cumplir con este sueño. Encontré IronHack y sabía que era lo que buscaba. IronHack tenía todo, el networking, los profesores y un muy buen plan de educación. Basado todo en lenguaje de programación JavaScript, me abrió la puerta para entender como funciona todo lo que pasa por detrás de una aplicación e incluso crear mis propias aplicaciones. Aprovechando estas nuevas aptitudes, ahora mismo estoy colaborando con varios compañeros para lanzar dos aplicaciones web y trabajo en una empresa en Madrid como Front-End-Developer. Estoy muy agradecido a IronHack por el labor que hacen, dando estas oportunidades y abriendo puertas al mundo del development. -

I came to Ironhack after changing my carreer from the logistics industry. What called my attention of Ironhack's program is that they are up to date with the most recent technologies.
They teach you How to Create an application with MongoDB, Angular2, Node.js, Express.js, Bootstrap, HTML5, CSS3, Ajax, APIs, jQuery and some other technologies.
They not only teach you all the technologies listed above, they teach you all the treack and details to be taught.
The staff is amazing, the lead instructor is a CIS graduate and has been programming a very long time, he is the best of the best. The TA's are also really knowledgeable and ready to help. The staff is amazing and very well prepared, very higly prepared people.
The placement Manager, Brito, is amazing. He knows everyone in the tech scene. He prepares you and how to be the perfect candidate and assists you in your job hunt.
There's also a hirefair at the end of the bootcamp where you meet a lot of potential employers, which is also an amazing source to get a job right after the program.
And the building were you code everyday is one of the best facillities I've ever seen. It's just so nice to be there and stay there.
Most importantly, you leave the bootcamp knowing how to code fullstack with very cool and original projects that you do during the course.
I recommend this bootcamp 100%, the best of the best!

I decided to enroll in Ironhack’s part-time course to communicate more effectively with our development team for my business, Gaming Frog. Ironhack gave the tools and knowledge to understand how the development process of any web application works. The best part about Ironhack has been expanding my understanding of programming. Every time we started a new module things started to make a lot more sense to me in the projects I manage. Another of the best parts about this program has been getting to know you classmates, in part we became a family. It’s always a great experience to share time with mind alike people.

Joining UX/UI Full-time Bootcamp in Miami this summer was so sudden but so smooth. I was looking for changing my career in business administration to tech. UX was a perfect fit! All Ironhack staff was so professional, nice and responsive, that I easily took a desicision to change pretty much everything in my life. 8 weeks in bootcamp were very intence-apart of learning alll the basic and must-have skills and tools, I've learned how much I can extend myself to achieve my goals. Instructors-who are ninjas in what they are doing, guest speakers, our TA Horacio-always super helpful and even the the space where the course took place- Building.co in the heart of Brickell- made Ironhack bootcamp one of the best experiences in my life!
I know that it was just a start of my career in UX/UI, but it was a kick-start! -

I came to Ironhack from a completely different background. Having studied business I never thought I would end up programing. That world seemed far too complicated, and I thought it was too late to begin now. Reading about the subject on the internet I found out about Ironhack, a bootcamp which ensured that anyone could program.
I was a bit sceptical in the beginning, but at Ironhack they proved me wrong. After 9 weeks of intensive programming I ended up creating a videogame, a film repository and a web app to learn about blockchain technologies! It has been truly an unforgetable experience. Ironhack has incredebly innovative methods of teaching and I have met wonderful people.
This experience has given me a technological background which opens the doors to opportunities which I did not have before. THanks to programming and my business background I can do whatever I want now!

Best decision of my life
Read more Read less of Thomas Beguin's review
For as long as I can remember, I have always been interested in computers. Very soon I was already breaking my Ubuntu on purpose, just so I could repair it later, which was very easy at the time since you had to actually compile 80% of all the soft from source !
I then had a few dark years as a teenager/young adult, which basically anhilated my ability to think or engage into anything meaningful for myself.
Fortunately I grew out of it eventually but my life choices had led me in a completely other direction.... International business.
Being bored with school, I actually started to work full time at the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Liege , for what was supposed to be a few weeks, but ended up as the whole season. Then, that's when everything changed...But not your traditional "It was a magnificent Friday of August...". I was just hanging on the web, reading some kind of tech news, and completely by chance, stumbled upon "Ironhack" and two others "Bootcamp" as they called it. A few articles later,I took a gut guided decision to actually take my chance and applied on the spot to 3 different bootcamp across Europe, completely impervious to the life altering consequences this "Why not?"gave rise to.
It ended up being the best decision of my life and by far. I only wish it would never end as a learning curve as great as the one they provide is pretty damn hard to find anywhere else. If you're reading this, don't think further, just go with your guts, you're only gonna regret not apllying sooner !!!

The best thing about Ironhack is by far the teachers: they're always available with great advice, tips, and an amazing capacity to explain even the most complex concepts in terms that anyone can understand.
If you're looking for a way to deep dive into web developpement, Ironhack is a great choice. I know I'd definitely do it again in a heartbeat.

I joined Ironhack looking to make a career change (from Finance to Web Development), and it was my best decision of 2017! The bootcamp is great, you'll learn all you need to build modern web applications with a client-side and server-side architecture. The team is great, super-available, and always looking for ways to improve our experience (regular one-on-ones, cool events, interesting talks...) so if you're looking for a bootcamp in Paris, do not hesitate! :)

Lo que me animó a hacer Ironhack fue la necesidad de un cambio, la universidad me dio mucha teoría pero cero práctica y no me veía capaz de incorporarme al mundo laboral, tan adulto como me parecía.
En cuanto a contar de Ironhack, la verdad que sólo puedo decir cosas buenas, el equipo es una maravilla, ha sido mi familia en Madrid durante estos dos meses y siempre dispuestos a echar una mano con cualquier cosa; en cuanto al curso, genial, empiezas la primera semana poco a poco y cuando te quieres dar cuenta, estas luchando contra el último proyecto, con unos conocimientos, ¡que parece que llevo programando 3 años (mínimo)!
La experiencia, mejor que bien, de verdad, es que me ha cambiado la vida "radicalmente" en dos meses y medio, llegue a Ironhack con miedo en pleno Agosto, y ahora en noviembre llevo 2 semanas trabajando de desarrolladora FullStack, confiaba en Ironhack, pero no pensé que sería tan rápido.Y en cuanto a lo que he aprendido, mucho, ya no sólo he aprendido JS y a todos sus amigos, si no que también he aprendido a seguir investigando, y así puedo seguir formándome yo sola, que en el mundo tecnologico, o te renuevas cada día o te oxidas, y eso lo he aprendido allí con vosotros.

If you want to learn to code, go to the other guys. If you want to become a developer, come to Ironhack.

After giving joining a coding camp much thought, I decided to pull the trigger and join Ironhack’s Full-time Web Development Cohort (Miami) in January of 2017 and I must say it one of the best decisions that I have made to date. I enrolled with the intent to only further my skills as a developer and put myself in a better position to enter the market as a professional but I walked away with so much more.
Anyone throwing around the idea of joining a coding bootcamp has to do their due diligence and really be sure that they get all the information they can on the camp before committing. So as an alumni I am putting myself back in the shoes of a prospective student and will shed light into some of the pressing questions that are sure to be on the mind.
-
Investment: Any coding camp is going to be a sizeable investment in not only money but time as well. Anyone who is toying with the idea of getting into coding and has not yet attempted to learn on their own is running the risk of losing on this investment. A prospective student should be absolutely sure that a coding camp is the right choice for them because the last thing you want to do is be tippy toeing around the idea of a life as a developer only to have gone through the bootcamp and realize that maybe it wasn’t all that you built it up to be in your mind. Look at all of the free resources (Google, YouTube, etc.) and at least attempt to learn on your own beforehand. A career in development is one that involves life long learning so I have to emphasize that you ask yourself if you are considering this bootcamp for the right reasons (i.e. genuine love for development and not the money chase).
-
Curriculum: Ironhack is constantly keeping an eye on market trends with regards to the skills employers want in to see in Junior Developers. In 2017 they decided to take the web development curriculum from one that was Ruby centric to one that teaches Full Stack Web Development (MEAN) with Javascript. This right here is big because it makes you more attractive in the eyes of potential employees as the demand for these skills high and you are given the foundation to go off and build the next big application or at the very least understand how the most popular applications (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) are built.
-
Course Instruction: Nizar Khalife (Lead Instructor for full time Web Development course) is an experienced developer with real world experience who has a wealth of knowledge and is more than willing to share it if you are willing to receive it. He Knows the material like the back of his hand and you are going to wish that you had more than 9 weeks to pick his brain to extract all of his wisdom.
-
Career Placement: Daniel Brito (Placements Manager) is someone who you need to have as a professional contact as he knows just about everyone in the Miami Tech scene. He worked many years as a Senior IT recruiter so he knows exactly what employers are looking for in Junior Developers. He is also someone who will bend over backwards for you by not only placing employers in front of you but will also show you how to hustle your way into generating quality leads for yourself. His career services are invaluable and are not to be underutilized.
-
Networking: Aside from technical skills, there is networking aspect that launches you right into the heart of the Miami Tech scene. Ironhack has been able to build relationships with major companies and industry leaders that you can easily leverage once you are a member of the Ironhack family; student or alumni. If landing a job as a developer after taking the course is your goal (which it should be), skill alone will not get your foot in the door (unless you are gifted with genius level abilities). You also have to network and make yourself be known in the eyes of the community and Ironhack is your ticket into it.
Daniel Brito and Nizar Khalife are invaluable resources that make Ironhack what it is and make worth the cost of the bootcamp. However, they are not alone in making Ironhack the machine that it is. The rest of the staff are an absolute joy and you will never feel like you are just another dollar in the pockets of another organization. Everyone is extremely hands on and will go above and beyond to ensure that your experience is one that promotes your success.
In my eyes, Ironhack is by far the best coding camp in South Florida that provides you will all the tools and resources needed to get a return on your investment.

One of the Best Personal Decisions for My Life by Far
Read more Read less of Rachelle Dauphin's review
I will say that attending Ironhack’s 9 Week Web Development Course has been one of the best personal decisions for my life by far. This is not an exaggeration. I chose computer engineering as my major in college to make my parents proud; however, computer engineers are about signals and circuitry, and I could not see myself pursuing a career revolving around this. I spent 2 years stumbling to find a passion, and eventually, I found it in coding.
As a disclaimer, prior to the bootcamp, I gain some coding experience from college, and while unemployed, I attempted to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript basics through online resources, but I felt like my learning was sporadic and unstructured. I attempted to apply for programming jobs for six months, but after about 90 job applications, no one reached out to me. I felt discouraged, but I knew I needed to find guidance. Ironhack provided this guidance.
The 9-week course was fast-paced even for a person with some coding background, so I strongly encourage students with no experience to learn basic JavaScript prior to the start date. The teacher, Nizar, was able to break down complex concepts into simple examples and analogies making them easier to understand. He also provided step-by-step implementation for web application examples. Each day, there are periodic breaks between lessons, so he and the TA can assist us throughout the class; therefore, everyone remains on the same page.
The three projects at the end of each module were great opportunities for all of us to shine. I felt proud of my projects since the ideas came from myself, and I was the one (with some existence) who needed to break them down into coding solutions. Having a project at the end of each module helped solidify the skill sets learned in the current section and build on the previous skills. These projects were done in a short span of time (as short as one week) forcing us to learn project management skills.
I had one issue that frustrated me and other students during project week. The length spent troubleshooting problems for individual students were far too long. Sometimes one student would take one or two hours of the teacher’s time fixing a feature while there was a queue of other students waiting for assistance. Because of this, during the final project week, I spent a lot of time troubleshooting issues on my own, and I was unable to complete most of the features in my project.
After graduation, career week followed, and those seven days were very helpful. I learned strategies for job hunting, and I realized that those six months of no-follow-up job hunting was due to poor tactics. Our advisor, Brito, made sure to have multiple companies at our hiring fair. The hiring fair reminded me of speed dating where you only had twenty minutes per company! It was stressful and excited at the same time. From this hiring fair, I received 3 interviews, and I got an offer 2 weeks later. I am now an associate software engineer making twice as much money as I did a year ago, and honestly, I am excited about my career path as a developer.

At Ironhack I not only learned how to build applications using modern technologies but also improved my work ethic and became aware of the Miami tech ecosystem. The instructor was outstanding and the TA also did a great job.
The whole Ironhack staff was organized and supportive and the building always had a cheerful atmosphere. Our placement magager did an excellent job helping us grow our network and improve our soft skills.
Ironhack was definitely a big step in my career as a software engineer.

There is a reason why Ironhack is rated so highly. They really do take you from 0 prior experience to building full on websites in 9 weeks.
I can't say enough good things about Nizar. He is an absolutely amazing instructor, very patient, kind, and gives his all to ensure all of his students are successful. He will never abandon you when you're truly stuck, and sit with you and make sure you understand. He is also genuinely hilarious which helps a lot when learning how to code. I am very grateful to Nizar, he helped me so much throughout the duration of the course.
Our TA, Kevin was also very wonderful. He worked very hard to keep up with all of our questions. Even when he wasn't sure of the answer he sat there and would work together with you to figure it out. He also wasn't afriad to leave us to figure things out on our own when he knew we were capable. I appreciated that. Sometimes we also had Dapper Dan as our TA, he was also super helpful.
The staff at Ironhack is great, everyone is very kind and friendly. You really get that feeling of famiy while you are there.
Brito, our Placements Manager is also equally amazing. He really does make himself fully available to you to help you get a job. Just to be clear, he's NOT there to do all of the job-hunting work. That's all on you. If you need suggestions, advice, need to prepare for an interview, or pretty much anything else, he's there for you.
Overall, I highly recommend Ironhack. I want to send a huge thank you everyone at Ironhack for all of your hardwork!

If you're thinking about getting into the Web development field and you don't have a clue where to start, this is exactly the school that you need in order to start a successful career as a web developer. I not only learned how to code and build amazing websites and web apps but also was pushed me to learn every day something new that later on will become a new set of skills. The instructor, Nizar, was well prepared and knowledgeable about all the topics shared during the boot camp, and whenever somebody didn't understand something without thinking it twice he will stand right next to you and explained it, making sure that you fully understand it before moving to another topic. The IronHack staff was amazing and very friendly, at the point that going to IronHack really felt like going to visit your loved ones. With a really nice kitchen, big terrace, and sky view, you will be able to work and enjoy in a really nice and peaceful environment. Last but not least the guy in charge of job placement at IronHack, Daniel. If you feel insecure and afraid that you won't find a job right after graduation, please, don't worry about it! Daniel got your back. There are only 3 things you have to do in order to succeed and get a job in this field right after graduation: 1 - Listen to Daniel! He will give you very important info that will help you not only to find a job in this field but to get a job in any field. 2 - Work hard! I will go to IronHack and spend 7 - 8 hours coding and as soon as I got home, I would continue working on projects and going over all the lectures. 3 - Practice practice and practice! IronHack will give you the all the tools and knowledge that you would need to start a career in this field but if you don't practice and put the hard work now, later on, it won't get any easier and you need to create a "practice & study" discipline and routine. To wrap it up, IronHack not only will show you how to code but will also give you new sets of skills and disciplines that will change your life completely. I deeply love IronHack. It is without a doubt the best coding school! -

Cómo aprender a programar y no morir en el intento
Read more Read less of Chris Estepa's review
Cuando mi amigo me recomendó Ironhack como método más fiable para entrar en el mundo del desarrollo web, el primer paso fue vencer el miedo a no dar la talla y no encajar en un mundo totalmente nuevo; después de pasar por el campus del Matadero y tras apenas 10 minutos, los miedos se esfumaron por completo; el buen rollo que se desprendía allí, hicieron el resto.
Una vez dentro te esperan horas y horas de clase, de luchar contra la frustración codo con codo con tus compañeros, de llegar a casa y no poder pensar en otra cosa que no sean arrays, funciones, objetos y puntos y comas; el tiempo parece ir a otro ritmo y, en dos semanas, te plantas delante de 20 personas y presentas un juego completo que además funciona.Después de dos meses, cuando llega el final del bootcamp, te das cuenta de que solamente han pasado nueve semanas pero que parece que conozcas a tus compañeros de toda la vida. Las tardes en el Matadero, cerveza en mano y los buenos ratos que pasas allí dentro hacen que merezca la pena tanto esfuerzo; cuando después de la hiring week te llaman 5 empresas y acabas trabajando de algo que no has hecho en tu vida, aceptas que la recomendación era buena y no te queda más remedio que invitar a tu amigo a una buena cena.

Sin duda repetiría
Read more Read less of Marc's review
Tenia ganas de aprender a programar en serio, a no tener que hacer un curso online sino a hacer algo intensivo y con gente a mi alrededor que me motivara a elevar mi nivel de programación en poco tiempo.
Lo que más me gustó fue la actitud de la gente por aprender y la constante necesidad de superación que necesitas para sacarle provecho al curso.
Mi experiencia global ha sido muy buena, sin duda repetiría si fuera posible. Creo que en 2 meses ha conseguido tener el nivel necesario como para entender como un desarrollador con experiencia afronta su trabajo y sus retos diarios.
Además de aprender la parte del las tecnologías MEAN, en lo que más he aprendido es en a pensar como un desarrollador, a dividir los problemas de código en trocitos pequeños y a ir paso a paso resolviendo problemas grandes. -

Conocí Ironhack por una charla sobre diseño en la que me apunté en Bcn, de hecho no tenía ni idea de que era UX, y me sorprendió, comencé a investigar mucha más información tanto de UX como de Ironhack y otras escuelas pero he de decir que en mi lista de PRO Ironhack iba sumando puntos, por temario, profesores, buenas referencias, cantidad de horas y reputación, así que decidí estudiar en Ironhack Madrid en la que considero una excelente escuela. Sinceramente es una experiencia holística una de las mejores de mi vida, conocí un grupo maravilloso de compañeros, profesores muy TOP que hicieron del Bootcamp una atmósfera de aprendizaje constante en el que la retroalimentación aún finalizado el bootcamp continúa siendo maravilloso y colaborativo. El aprendizaje es continuo, nunca termina es constante y mientras más curioso seas más cosas descubres y aprendes, una de las cosas que más me ha encantado es la investigación del usuario, ese research que nos ofrece tanta información que nos permite conocer a través de metodologías Lean, si existe o no viabilidad de negocio y como toda esta información se puede llevar a soluciones de diseño pensadas en el usuario que funcionen y generen gran impacto... Y cómo con puntos suspensivos no se cierran conversaciones, aventúrate y descúbrelo tú mismo!

Me animado a hacer el bootcap para tener un cambio de vida, y porque siempre me sentido atraído siempre por la Programación, unido a buenas prescripciones de antiguos alumnos Ironhack y otros profesionales. Su formato me permitió poder dejar mi trabajo anterior y obtener los conocimientos necesarios en un tiempo record. Me gustó mucho , el compañerismo que se genera, la ayuda que nos hemos dado unos a otros para sacar adelante este bootcamp, Mi experiencia global fue muy positiva, ha cumplido todas mis expectativas y he conseguido mi objetivo gracias a Ironhack y todo lo que se ahora en cuanto a programación lo he aprendido en Ironhack, ya que antes era curioso en tecnologías pero como quien dice llegué "virgen" en conocimientos de desarrollo.

My experience at Ironhack was great. The company is organized and everyone on the team was super friendly. Nizar was an incredible instructor, there is nothing he doesn't know. Kevin, our TA, was also extremely helpful and always available. Brito, our placements manager, was a key part in my ability to get a job only a week after our career week. Definitely recommend this school!

Ironhack has completely changed my life. I'm studying a degree in Computer Science and Business and I can assure you that the experience is totally different.
At Ironhack, people are like family, there is a great community behind it. Teachers, the staff, and classmates are incredible. The materials are continuously been updating and the learning by doing philosophy prepares the students for reality, learning the last methodologies, technologies, and tools by using them, making projects along all the bootcamp.
I'm super happy with the decision I made, making the bootcamp is one of the best decisions I've taken in my life. It has changed my life and my way of seeing it.
Are you prepare for the challenge of your life?

Ironhack experience was very valuable and useful for me as a marketing specialist. I can apply the best practices of user-centric design on a daily basis, implement ideas because of the tools that I have learned and also defend the ideas in a constructive way. The teachers were helpful and professional, which really helped to improve throughout the intensive course. There is also a great sense of community at Ironhack - everyone comes here to learn, to gain new skills and make a change in their career path, therefore we all work towards one goal and encouraged each other.

Best Investment I've Ever Made

The Big Picture
Why is the United States known as the land of opportunity? Because you get out what you put in. If you work hard, you will be rewarded. The American system rewards those that are willing to hustle.
Ironhack is the land of opportunity. An opportunity to learn a high-paying, technical skill in 9 weeks and get a job doing what you love. This opportunity, however, is only available to those who are willing to put in the work.
Before I joined Ironhack, I was worried that no matter how hard I worked, I wouldn't be prepared because maybe the curriculum was teaching the wrong skills, maybe the bootcamp didn't have strong business relationships in the community.
I was proven wrong. Ironhack has far exceeded my expectations.
The Instructor
Our instructor in Miami was Nizar. This guy will go above and beyond to make sure you understand everything that is being taught.
I learned from him in 9 weeks what would've took me a whole year to do by myself. He will spot bugs in your code so quickly it'll make you feel stupid. But this is good, because he will get you from point A to point B much faster. He's half the reason why you're paying $10,000.
The more questions you ask, the more you bug Nizar before class and after class with questions, the more you'll understand, and the more money's worth you'll get from this bootcamp. And Nizar will always be willing to help.
The Placements Manager
This is where the other half of your money is going. If you put in the work, this man will get you a job. They call him the plug in the Miami tech community, but we call him Brito.
During my cohort, this man managed to invite 17 companies to the hiring fair. Not only that, he's got connections in tech companies you've never even heard of. He works his ass off for you to get a job. And that's exactly what you want.
He'll help you with your resume, on your job search, on building a network, on getting to the right person in the right company... Anything you can think of during the job search, this man got you covered.
The Staff
Everyone at Ironhack is on your team. Everyone is family there. Anything you need, they got your back.
The most impressive thing to me is how they ask for your feedback on the class every single week. They sit down with you if you have any compliants and they really make you feel like they care.
I believe that with every year, each cohort will get better and better.
Warnings before you apply:
No one is there to hold your hand. If you slack off, no one gives a damn. You're just competition to everyone else in your class for the same jobs.
If you join, make sure you love to code. Make sure you're willing to commit at minimum 12 hours a day to the bootcamp. Make sure you're willing to continue to work without anyone looking over your shoulder.
If you join, aim to be in the top 10% of the class. That's the only way you'll be in demand.
Do the pre-work. Master the basics, and get a head start in the class.
Built connections with people. Go to events, speak up at talks, ask great questions. The connections you build in this cohort will last you a lifetime.
Ironhack changed my life, and if I knew how much value they provided, I would've gladly paid double for the tuition.
Ironhack gives you the opportunity to be rewarded for your hard work. And you will be rewarded.
If you're not ready to work hard and make sacrifices, you're wasting your time.

Iron magnificent!
An experience that I would repeat again!
Not only the content of the classes is top, but also, the environment and the teachers are amazing.
When I arrived to the bootcamp my knowledge about web development was very limited, after I finished, I felt very happy and comfortable with all the tools and content we saw during the bootcamp.Take the chance and happy coding ;)
