Data Analytics Bootcamp - São Paulo - Hard work, great experience and lot of fun!
I am currently attending a full time Data Analytics Bootcamp at Ironhack São Paulo and the experience has been wonderful. All activities are well thought out, the staff of teachers and assistants is sharp and dedicated. Any issues with didactics or content were quickly resolved. It has been an intense and rich learning experience and I can strongly observe everyone's progress.

A life changing experience (Data Analytics)
I'm one of those that came to Ironhack to change my career. I started this Bootcamp without no prior knowledge in programmig or statistics and now I feel ready to work on the field. The teachers are always available to help us learn and improve. It was, by far, the best investment I've made in my life.

UX/UI Design Bootcamp Berlin

I joined Ironhack UX/UI full-time design bootcamp after recommendation and many positive reviews I read on the Internet. It is imporant to notice here than Ironhack has many locations and for sure there is a lot of differences between them - actually it's hard to find them about this specific course in Berlin, so this is why I decided to write my opinion here.
Maybe I will start from positive part here. The working environment it's really amazing, mostly due to the people who participate in the course. It's really great to work with people with different skills and with various background - everyone was very supportive, kind and helpful. When you are stuck with anything, you can always count on your classmates. Also, I think the curriculum is well constructed and contains the most imporant information - of course, it's super intense and it's not possible to remember everything from the lectures but you will get a forever access to the learning platform - pretty helpful. The cool building, comfortable chairs and the free barista were also big advantages :)
Before joining the course, I studied carefully the info and details on their wbesites. For sure, Ironhack promises a lot and it's not suprising, beacuse the bootcamps are very expensive (and getting even more). I would like to refer here to some of their promises.
First of all, the lead teacher is not a UX/UI designer, but a visual designer, and acutally he is not even really interested in the UX part and as he admitted, he has never really worked with it. I expected him to have a broad knowledge about UX, but it was pretty limited to the slides he was presenting. Also, he was very hardly accessible - he was usually leaving early or were always busy with something else. To be honest, he didn't seem really interested in the job.
Ironhack presents itself as a team "tech spec" - but a lot of times they are just lacking skills. The teacher and TA are definetely not specialist in the sofwares that are used during the course - it's very dissapointing. During the career week, some invited people to the school seemed pretty random - maybe just to fill our time with something? I'm not sure if inviting a person who is an ex-TA who doesn't have a job yet as an "interview specialist" or doing negotiation workshops with a person who has no experience with it is the best idea... I think Ironhack should really take closer look at the people who they are hiring - both the teacher and TAs seem often unmotivated and not really engaged in their work. I understand they are not professional designers but sometimes their advice and knowledge is lower that the participants of the course. And also, complaining about students in the common areas, where everyone can hear it, is VERY unprofessional.
Overall, I learned a lot during the course, but it was a lot of my individual work I put in it and also from people I ask for advice from - unfortunetely I can't say the staff was really helpful. I think that Ironhack is not a bad school, but for this price, people's expectations were way higher, what almost everyone admitted at the end. At the moment, I'd advice to think twice before joining campus in Berlin and maybe to consider different locations.

Highly recommend but it can improve

Very good and highly recommend (Data Analytics), during the course you realize how much the course content was scaled in a way that shows a little of everything in the data area, but without being superficial. And during the course the team here from Brazil reviewed the entire content, making it more interesting and applicable to the daily work.
I just think that the teacher (not to mention the excellent TAs) could have participated a little more of the classes, because in the first two weeks and in the last two weeks she was absent due to trips and so on.

A great starting point for anybody that is looking to change professions!

I am a musician but I always loved technology and wanted to study programming. However, I didn't want to spend four years studying in a university so a bootcamp was a natural choice for me. I chose Ironhack because they have a complete and robust web development course, preparation for the market, and a hiring fair with lots of good companies. In fact, I was employed by one of the companies that attended the hiring fair only one week after finishing the course. Other than that, the technologies you learn are all current so you learn what is most used in the current market. They have a good infrastructure and the whole Ironhack team is very supportive and attentive to the students' needs.

A life change

Unsatisfied with my professional area, I decided to migrate to the area of UX UI Design. So I went looking for a school that was well evaluated and matched my goals, so I would feel well prepared to the professional market and be able to extract maximum knowledge in a short time. At Ironhack I could find everything I was looking for. Learning has given me a wealth of knowledge not only for working life, but for personal as well. In addition to the UX and UI Design tools, we have also learned about Agile methodology and better teamwork techniques. At the end of the bootcamp, there was still uncertainty about getting a job, but it came quickly, within two weeks I had a job offer, which made me even more sure that I had made the right choice by betting at Ironhack.

Got a web developer job a week after the bootcamp

I wanted to switch my career and learn coding and after considering a university degree and some coding bootcamps I talked to Ironhack and was convinced very quickly. I was looking for a learning environment among people as motivated and enthusiastic about web development as me. Ironhack provided me with such an environment, support from the best teachers and the necessary web development skills.I really enjoyed my time there, especially project weeks when we built professional websites in unbelievable 4 to 9 days. Another reason I joined Ironhack was because they promised me 95% chance of employment within 2-3 months after the graduation. They didn't lie! During their career week I met my current employer and got an offer one week later. Thank you so much Montasar, Min, Svenja, Bruno, Mili, Veronika, Daniel and other team members of Ironhack Berlin!

This Bootcamp was one of the best choices I've ever made, no doubt. Ironhack helped me change careers very quickly and with the best support ever, the teachers, the material and the organization were amazing during the whole process. I got job offerings before the Bootcamp ended and got hired in a large company in Brazil!

Está sendo revitalizante

Eu costumo dizer que eu tenho uma vida pré Ironhack e uma pós Ironhack. Estou no final já no terceiro e último módulo e para mim até agora está sendo incrível. Foi uma das minhas melhores escolhas nessa altura da vida e essa experiência tem me mudado muito até porque não tinha experiência com código antes. A equipe é muito boa e sempre se preocupa em passar o melhor para o aluno. O currículo é muito abrangente, por mais que tenha tópicos com um aprofundamento um pouco superficial eles apostam no que o aluno precisa de fato aprender e/ou saber que existe. Vale ressaltar que não é fácil, depende muito do esforço e dedicação do aluno. Eu, hoje, posso dizer que sei codar e isso somado a minha vontade e ao que a ironhack oferece, vale ouro.

Great experience in Data Analytics
Read more Read less of Isabella Ribeiro's review
I was searching for a data analytics course for some time when I discovered Ironhack in social media. What I can say for the school and the course is that I really think I've made the best choice. Is the curriculum perfect? Probably not yet. But every week the teacher is bringing extra content to go deeper on things missing. And this is really rich. I found that the teacher and TAs are paying attention to what our group is interested in. I can say that I'm really learning, even the "math parts" that I was more afraid because I don't have the background in the area. And the school is a good place to exchange experiences with the students of other courses which makes the experience even better.

A new life

As a sale Advisor and new mom, I wanted something else in my life. One day, Vinted sent me an email in which it is written "what do you think about a job in the tech industry?" And that was the starting point of my new life. During the Bootcamp, it was so hard to follow. 9 weeks are so intense with a baby at Home. But with the help of the teacher, the TAs and all the team of Ironhack Paris I managed to finish the Bootcamp alive. We have learned the tech that companies are actually using and developping. At the hiring fair I have met many companies and that helped me to talk easily about what I have done in 9 weeks. I was approached by many companies they have seen my profile online. I applied to one job particulary because it had all the criterias that I wanted. And 2 weeks after the hiring fair, after having several interviews with many companies (technical, phone, ...) I signed with the company that I wanted at the first time. :D Thanks to Ironhack, I am so Happy to start my new life as a Developer. Thanks to the courses, the help, the support, the tools, the contacts, the help on finding a job, ... I will start a new life 1 Month and a half after graduated. -

I really enjoyed the course and all that I learned in such a short time, I believe this course really prepares you for the job market in just 9 weeks.
The technical skills of teachers and teacher assistants are great and are always close at hand to assist and maintain involvement with the learning process throughout the learning process. -

I took the full time data analytics bootcamp mainly because I wanted to learn Python, but the experience exceeded my expectations. There are very important concepts besides only programming, such as statistics and machine learning, and these are all part of the course syllabus. The instructors made the experience a whole lot better. Another very important part is the career counselling and the hiring week. Companies do show up to interview. Overall, the experience is great, I received a job offer days after finishing the course and now I'm using Python and ML on a daily basis.

A fantastic course
Read more Read less of Rodrigo Riston Azevedo Andrade's review
I'm doing the Ux Design part-time bootcamp and it is wonderfull. What i like about Ironhack it is that they use a lot of exercises, the course is like a second job for me, so this learn by doing approach make the learning process easier.
The teachers and TAs are excellent, they are always ready to answer our questions and assist us, besides observing how our development is going, and talk to us, if needed, or if we get stuck.
The facilities are always improving, and it is cool that they listen to our feedback, the same can be said about the lessons and exercises.
The only thing that it is a kind of problem, but I think it is necessary, it is that there is a tight deadline for the exercises deliverables, but it makes sense as in a company most of the time you have to work on a tight shift.

An incredible experience

It's incredible how IronHack delivers what they promise. When I started the Bootcamp I knew almost nothing about development. The course turned me into a confident Full-Stack Developer, with strong technical skills. After the course, 100% of my colleagues got hired. I can't recommend better this experience. The school space, the team, the events and of course all the knowledge I received made it worthwhile.

They make you be prepared for the market. Their methodology is amazing and it makes you fill you are solving real problems. I'm sure study here was one of the best decisions I made.

Data Analytics Bootcamp is a great experience you may have!
I'm loving the Data Analytics Bootcamp, the curriculum structure and the teacher's support are incredible. Specially labs and hackatons gave me the experience to face technical interviews. Machine Learning teachings are overall basic, but still, it is worthy to start!

The best experience

The decision to bootcamp at Ironhack was one of the best I've ever done, I walked in knowing the basics about programming and even choosing between courses I was feeling lost because I didn't know where to actually start, and the Since the beginning my school gave support, the structure is great, the materials are super simple and easy to understand, the teachers are always online to support you, ask questions, send you feedback, give you tips and are always monitoring your evolution and learning. The school cares about how the classes are, always asking for the opinion of what we are enjoying or wanting to change, it has a career service that helps you know how the market works and what the market demands. A great experience, I had a great evolution compared to how I entered. I recommend the school to everyone.

“A lot of challenges and growth!”
Read more Read less of Amanda Nascimento Batista's review
I am currently attending the part-time web development bootcamp of Ironhack São Paulo and so far I am loving my experience. I have a background in Arts & Humanities and for me personally learning to code has been quite a challenging task. Nevertheless, I feel very happy to see how many new things I am learning in such a short time. I have received full support of my teacher and it is very nice to see that my unrelated background is not a barrier in this process. My efforts to make a change and willingness and interest in learning new things are the only things the matter!
Everyone says the bootcamp is intense, but just when you begin you notice how fast paced it actually is. I was first enrolled in the full-time program, but decided to switch to part-time in order to have more time to study and review the content of the classes. It was a very wise decision. If I could do anything differently, I would study a lot more before starting the bootcamp. By studying, I mean doing a LOT of exercises. You learn to code with practice and repetition.
However, if you don’t have six months to learn coding in the part-time program, I would highly recommend completing the preparation work REALLY well and re-do(many many times) exercises in more difficult topics. The prepwork format is extremely boring (a lot of text and the exercises aren’t interactive such as in websites like Freecodecamp and Codecademy) but the more you study and get familiar with basic concepts, the better you will follow the course afterwards. -

A new Beginning

Ironhack's Bootcamp is an experience completely unlike any other. Not only will you learn to program, you will develop your own ability to absorb information, and become more visible and active to the technology market. Ironhack's curriculum, as well as lectures, group, and individual works, workshops, and other extra curriculum activities will contribute directly to both career and personal growth. During the course weeks, you will have a chance to acknowledge your own learning limits, as well as overcome them. If you are wondering whether or not to do the Bootcamp, know that I have locked up college, moved around and given myself a chance to live something like I had never lived before, only to attend this course. And I will never regret the moments and insights that have been presented to me in recent months. This Bootcamp is a once in a lifetime opportunity, the beginning of a new path, and the accomplishment of everything you have lived and experienced till this point. -

Still not working as a developer, but by talking to people already working in such position I believe that the curriculum is good and up to date with tools used in the industry. Teacher for our class has been great. Very attentious and really doing his best to help us learn. He is the kind of person willing to go that extra mile to help students absorb all the content. Career support has been good and better than what I expected. We've had workshops with an experienced recruiter and with people in management positions in tech companies. School infrastructure is good and improving. Recently added a few automated vending machines with snacks and drinks. -

I am a chemical engineer of formation, I was discouraged with the area. Under the influence of her boyfriend and some friends, I decided to take the data analyst course at Ironhack. It was the best bet I made for my career, in 9 weeks I was qualified to work in the area. to my happiness a week after the end of the course was hired. I recommend the school to anyone who just like me wants to change their lives.

Amazing experience so far
I'm currently on IronHack part time full stack web dev and so far it has been the best experience I could dream of. One of the best points so far it's the teacher that truly want you to learn and understand what he is saying. All the staff from IronHack are amazing and they have been giving a amazing support.

Do you know remember you were a kid and school sometimes used to suck because of some teaching techniques? Well, in this bootcamp you can forget all about it, they provide you with a very immersive learning course which WILL make you retain 99.99% of all the content teached and even more, they will teach you how to learn and teach you how to teach, that's just how awesome this is. You will certainly acquire a bunch of soft skills that will remain with you for all the rest of your career.

UX/UI Design - Part Time
Read more Read less of Fulvio Irente's review
My experience at Iron Hack has been contributed to a full and realistic view of the Design and User Experience scenario, feeling prepared and engaged to begin a new career.
Our classroom teacher has the ability to bring relevant discussions into the ironhack framework that the school offers, becoming the classes into a rich and engaging discussion.
The practical part of the projects works very well, we are encouraged to work in different pairs and groups every week, learning and sharing knowledge together, it is possible to feel the evolution of problem-solving and understanding over the weeks.
Positive aspects for the classroom assistants (T.A), always helpful in supporting tools, work development and discussions.As an improvement, Ironhack needs to take care of its internal experience, communication flow, and student entry journey to its progress within the course, paying attention to campus details and infrastructure that may reflect on good or bad experiences.

Revamped my portfolio
Read more Read less of Albert Perez-Maspons's review
I enrolled in the full-time UX/UI design program last fall (2018). My teacher and the Ironhack staff were friendly, helpful, and very open to listening and improving the lessons in any way possible. Unfortunately the TA I started the program with only held the position for a couple of weeks and then this spot was filled by a number of temporary replacements. This didn’t allow me to get very close to any of those people and it felt like a resource that I expected to have wasn’t really available that cohort. In the end, we turned to fellow classmates for supplemental help most of all and this teamwork really helped many of us. The course is very intense and incoming students should expect to be stressed out by the workload. A lot of information is packed into a few months, so it’s important to bookmark all of the important websites your teacher shows you and of course to take good notes! If you have past work experience that relates at all to the duties of a UX/UI designer or even if you just had a strong interest in parts of the process, this will come in handy! I’d always had an interest in art and had done some graphic design before. On the other hand, if you have zero relevant experience and were interested in completing this course, I would say to be patient and realistic about where your skills might be by graduation time. While I do think Ironhack can give you a boost and help you get started with your new career, I saw some classmates struggle with creating professional-looking visual designs- even by the end of the course. So if you’re doing something difficult for the first time, don’t expect a miracle. That said… coding week was not great for me. Most of the other students had had at least a little bit of exposure to coding before the course, so they were able to keep up with the instructor. A few students (including me) had never had any exposure and we fell behind and could never catch up. I was repeatedly told that it was ok if I knew nothing about coding, but it felt like a little more understanding was necessary to understand the fast-talking teacher I had for coding week. Daniel Brito was my career coach while I was there and I really appreciated his support. He gave me a lot of awesome advice and helped me see things from the perspective of the employer. Although he was busy assisting lots of students, he did a good job of dividing up his time and giving me his full attention when it was my turn. In the end, I walked away with a portfolio that helped me get my current job, so it was worth it for me! Plus it’s nice to be part of the Ironhack network.

Data Analytics - Full Time

I decided to take the bootcamp because I wanted to drive my professional career into data analysis. This was not an easy decision as I trusted a lot in traditional education models but, god I regret nothing! I learned a lot and more. Of course you will not become an expert in these two months but you will be on an excellent track to become one. The bootcamp is not easy and demands your complete attention at the point you dream about the problems you couldn't resolve. At the end you learned a lot of things but most importantly you comprehend how to learn anything and not be fearful and start doing it. Overall this was a great experience not only speaking of the acquisition of knowledge, I also found great people and friends which made this journey lighter and taught me a lot.

Fue una de las mejores inversiones y experiencias educativas que he realizado. El bootcamp es intensivo y todos los días se ven temas diferentes, algunos más difíciles que otros, sin embargo, existe un gran compañerismo y una gran actitud por parte de los teacher assistant, lead teacher y de todo el equipo del Ironhack por mejorar la experiencia de los alumnos durante el curso.Recomiendo mucho el curso de Data Analytics para aquellas personas que quieran impulsar o cambiar de carrera a través del uso de los datos.

UX/UI full time
Read more Read less of Nina's review
I had a great time at Ironhack Lisbon and would recommend the course. However, I think its important to note that this course is NOT suitable for everyone. It is very intensive and you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WORK A JOB WHILE IN THIS COURSE FULL TIME. It doesn't matter how resourceful you were in college (I went to school full time and worked two jobs then), you WILL be in this classroom 12-16 hours a day. There is no way around it, unless you intend to come out of it without value.
The staff is wonderful and they 100% go that extra mile to make sure you're learning and confident. The course isn't perfect of course, and they're still testing to see what works- but they'll listen to your feedback and adjust and the experience is one I'll never forget. I do think its worth the money, and I do feel confident that if I put in the effort, I will get a job in the field out of this.
This course will be worth what you put into it. There are no grades, and if you just do the minumum assigned then good luck to you. If you're willing to put in extra hours, weekends, and your effort to learn and improve now that you have the resources and support around you, you will do great and come out of this transformed.

Full stack Web Development Bootcamp

Doing the Web Development Bootcamp was the best decision I’ve ever made! Working in a fintech Start Up, made me that curious about the world of coding, until the point that I decided to change my careers. The Bootcamp from Ironhack was the perfect compact solution for my new orientation. The 9 weeks were a very intense time, most of the days I’ve been at the bootcamp for 10-12 hours. Since I prepared quite well with the precourse I didn’t have any difficulties in following up on the course, which anyhow was very challenging! The teachers and the assistants are great people and the whole Ironhack team are very lovely and open hearted. Through the hiring fair, I met a company that I would have never imagined been working for and I actually was able to more than double my income with this new job. So yeah, people might think the whole promises that Ironhack make seem to easy for restructuring your professional life, but it simply is that way. However you should be 100% sure that you love coding, because if not the 9 weeks will be hell. I recommend every body who found a new passion in coding to make this decision. For me it was the best investment and it completely changed my life.
