Ironhack Bootcamp Barcelona
Read more Read less of Dafne's review
Overall my experience at Ironhack was very good!
The first thing that has to be said though is that it is a VERY challenging and tough course.
But the support received from our teacher, TAs and staff has been a more than valuable experience. Everyone is willing to help you, listen to your concerns and support you in any way that they can.
All the staff have put in so many extra hours and have truly been there when needed. The insights we have got from Andre (regarding the professional world, and the reality of things) are uncomparable to anything - I am not sure where else I would have gotten this time of input and feedback. Also, I cannot ever be thankful enough for all the extra hours and support the TAs have given to us.
I would do Ironhack all over again and can only recommend it, however if you decide to take the bootcamp be prepared to spend lots of additional hours working: the more time you invest, the more you will end up getting out of this course.

From Muggle to Wizard

I am a recently graduated Industrial Design Engineer, and always felt that university was wasting my creativity and motivation. I started coding by chance during the last year of my degree and tried to improve a bit my coding skills with few results with a lot of time invested. After that, I decided to join a bootcamp, such a difficult decision! Finally, applied for Ironhack’s one.
Two months later I have to say that it has been one of my personal and professional best decisions of my life. Obviously, here you’ll learn a lot of programming from learning units which are constantly revised, and they put a lot of effort and resources so you can find a nice job. But It would be unfair to define Ironhack just like this, some goals.
In Ironhack I found really good teachers that help and encourage you during the whole bootcamp. Same people who helped the cohort to reach a good work environment where all interests, levels and profiles fit. And a really dedicated staff that really care all your worries and will do everything to change what you don’t like and make you feel like at home. They organize a lot of interesting events every week and, of course, some parties :)
After becoming a family for a couple of months: students, teachers, staff, ironhackers... I realized that what makes Ironhack special is the passion we all share and how newbies are involved with this same passion.
It has been super intense, sometimes hard, but always exciting. I learned a lot and I strongly recommend it to everyone! Good Luck! ;D

Web Development Bootcamp
My experience at Ironhack was simply amazing. The teachers and TAs treated me great. There, we were all like a family and we always helped each other.
I learned a lot especially because I entered at Ironhack without having any base of knowledge.
Amazing course. -

The overall experience has been AWESOME. Although the bootcamp is exhausting and demands so much effort.
People make it incredible.
The nice environment and the cool activities after and during the lessons come included! The Stuff is doing quality control Typeforms and 1 on 1 interviews every week so everything is perfect!
There's nothing really to complain about :) Now the bootcamp is over and there's a bittersweet feeling. I really needed this to finish but I'll miss it a lot!
The only thing I could say is... during the hiring day, there were so many work opportunities requiring React and this is a pitty :( Maybe, and just maybe, they should teach React instead of Angular.
Anyway, if you're dubtful, go ahead with Ironhack, it's the best thing to do.

My Ironhack experience
Read more Read less of Laura García's review
I studied Industrial design and just before becoming an ironhacker I used to design satellites for Airbus Space. My experience at Ironhack has involved a mixture of feelings, from absolute joy to physical and mental exhaustion, even frustration sometimes, but overall it has been amazing. I have spent the past two months with the most amazing bunch of people in the world. We've had several teachers and I have learnt a lot form all of them. Now I can develop a digital product end-to-end, I have acquired a handful lot of techniques and resources that I can apply to the projects I'll face in the future. Also I have learn the value of listening to your users and how failing early and testing often is vital to keep you in the game! I have enjoyed the experience a lot, but I think that the thing I've liked most (and the thing I'll miss most) is the comradeship we've developed within this 2 months. We've leant on each other and we've learnt everything we could from one another. -

The experience went really well overall in both bootcamps
Read more Read less of Carlo Padrón Gómez's review
Before my UX/UI bootcamp in IronHack I was studying Computer Sciences and ADE at UC3M, I also did the Web Development Bootcamp two years ago.
The experience went really well overall in both bootcamps. Some weeks were very stressful, but it’s nice to learn to live situations of pressure. Time have past really fast and I will miss spending my time here.
I learned to teamwork, I learned a lot of new methodologies and I acquired a really good basis to continue developing my career as a designer.
The things that I liked the most were meeting a lot of really good people, the networking and the good vibes of the place. -

Amazing experience!

I used to work in Advertising, developing and ideating digital strategies for brands. As an advertising creative and designer, I always felt that it was something missing in my design process. Everything I developed was based on my experience and intuition. That's when I discovered Ironhack and joined them thanks to a Wallapop Scholarship. The best about Ironhack is that you learn x3. You learn from your teachers, from your classmates, and from former students. Furthermore, Ironhack culture helps you get the best of you without giving up the social part. You end up with an up to date knowledge, autonomy to keep learning every day and the best connections in the industry.

"Wonderful experience"
Read more Read less of Lule's review
Before Ironhack I worked as an architect in Germany. As I love design in all its forms and wanted to get into the digital world, I got into the UX Bootcamp when I returned to Madrid, and I have discovered that the architecture and the world of the UX / UI have a lot to do.
The Ironhack experience has been incredible, not only for the amount of things we have learned but also for the human quality of the entire team (teachers, TAs and staff) and my colleagues. I have made many friends!
I have learned EVERYTHING! Research and UX tools, design principles, typography and color palettes, to look for references and where to look for them ... But above all methodologies and different ways of working, because we had 6 different teachers, each one a crack in their own way, and each taught us a different way of understanding the issues, focused on one point or another and taught you examples of the real world, so at all times we had contact with the world of work and what we were going to do next.
What I liked the most was without a doubt the people. From Ironhack, camaraderie and teamwork are very much encouraged and then when it comes to work it shows and is wonderful. The level of demand is high and we must take the final project forward in just 2 weeks! Working hand in hand with your colleagues not only helps you in many moments but also makes the experience more enjoyable. Not only among the UX colleagues but also with the web ones. It is incredible to be proposing a project and to be able to talk to a programmer about the doubts that arise.
It has undoubtedly been a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone who is considering getting into the world of UX.

Francisco Trujillo
Full time UX/UI bootcamp
Read more Read less of Francisco Trujillo's review
Ironhack’s UX/UI design bootcamp was pretty intense. Be prepared to go from zero to hero in eight weeks with the help of their amazing staff, industry leading guest speakers, mentors, leaders and teachers. My cohort had five different teachers who brought forth their own special skill set to the particular module they taught. Horacio, our TA, was an iron hack grad and was always there for us. Ironhack is located in Building Inc which is a hub for several start ups in the Miami tech eco system which makes it a very motivating environment to work in. While and after your time at Ironhack, Brito- Ironhack’s placements manager takes you on his own career bootcamp. He helps you polish up your resume, interview skills, and portfolio in order to get you in the right direction after you graduate. Overall they have a system which seems to work regardless if you are someone trying to brush up on skills or wanting to change careers. Definitely be prepared to put in work, sacrifice time and all that good stuff. The resources and network is there for success at Ironhack. It’s all in what you make of it.

Great experience!

I recently graduated from the UX/UI full-time bootcamp in Miami. It was an amazing experience. The class structure and the instructors were great. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to enter the field or to learn about the field regardless of your experience. My background is in business / entrepreneur and I was trying to find a way to put an idea into a MVP to look for investors. This class helped me to understand all the available tools to make your job easier and also some techniques to make the process of building an App systematic and consistent. Although my intention was not to become a full time UX/UI designer, these new set of skills complements my background very well.

Ironhack is the best school I've ever been. They have an environment full of good vibes and extraordinary people. During the course, they help you believe in you and reach the goal at all times even when the course ends. I am fortunate to have been through this course.
I have to say Nizar (the instructor) is the BEST. He helps you go through everything and makes sure you truly understand what he teaches you. And Brito, he just never gives up on you. He truly wants to make sure you end up where you actually want to be. -
Daniel Hoffens
The entrance to Software Engineering on the web
Read more Read less of Daniel Hoffens's review
I first heard about Ironhack because I lived close to their Miami campus and saw they were having a workshop on HTML/CSS. I had done some basic web dev back in school but hadn't touched it in years. Being in the classroom for the workshop brought back all the fun I had in initially building awful looking myspace pages and the like using only a laptop. I was hooked.
I soon applied for the full-stack web bootcamp, leaving a good job at the time because I knew this bootcamp would take me in the direction I wanted to go. I wanted to be able to build applications to help my teams and clients, and knew that I had enough curiosity and perseverance to actually likely make it happen.
This bootcamp is no walk in the park. I quit my job, didn't go out with friends, and focused as much of my energy as humanly possible on grasping the changing concepts. Each day we had a morning lesson, exercises, an afternoon lesson, and then a night project. While instructors did help those in the class that were falling behind, the class moves fast and you have to give it your all to progress. The instructors were not only an intelligent, hardworking group, they took care of each question that came about, and often stayed after hours to help with projects, going far above and beyond. The classmates were a driven bunch. It was exciting seeing each person, coming from vastly different backgrounds, excelling and struggling at different stages.
After the bootcamp, we all make one final application during a 2 week sprint, and then present these to Ironhack and the community, a group of maybe 80-100. Afterwards networking happens and then its on you!
I found a full stack web developer role a few months after graduation, through a recruiter friend of mine from back home. This did require me moving back to Philadelphia from Miami, which was a little sad but it is a reality. Please don't assume that you will immediately find a job right where you studied, you may have to pick up and move to find something!
In conclusion, I highly recommend the Ironhack experience. You will learn the basics of full stack web development. You will learn how to make real, production applications. You'll learn about the nuances that are in modern web development, and learn what you need to learn next. If you work hard enough, you will be able to convince hiring managers that you are now an entry level software engineer.

Just Do it!
Read more Read less of Keri's review
I was at a fork in the road when I first started researching Ironhack, I wasn't sure what direction was the right one for me. After speaking/meeting with the staff, they were extremely helpful in order for me to make the right choice for my goals and interests in the most non-pressuring way. The whole entire staff was readily available and willing to help me from start to graduation and I will be forever grateful for them and the knowledge/skills I have gained from IH.
Finding UX/UI was like finding my soul mate, and without IH I most likely would have had the chance to find my passion and make a career out of it.
From our fantastic campus, brilliant instructors, and speakers this life-changing experience cannot be summed up in one tiny review...all you need to know is...just do it, okay! You won't regret it!

You're looking for a bootcamp in web dev: don't look anymore, IronHack is the ONE
Read more Read less of frederic's review
To simply explain my journey at IronHack: I knew nothing about JavaScript 3 monthes ago, and now I'm working on a project started at IronHack with still some help from the staff!
Lessons are intense but great with a really good atmosphere where each student helping each other to get the better of themselves! the teachers are awesome and they work REALLY hard to provide us with the best material. They are always available and willing to help you to understand what you are doing, even the weekend! That's unvaluable !!
The curriculum focuses on JavaScript: Great and very powerful technology, with VueJs it allows you to build great product in no time but with a lot of work ! The best thing with IronHack : you are abble to keep learning and you benefit with a great and constant help from the teachers.If you want to deep in the code, IronHack will provide you great tools and support to do it. It's hard work but it's worth it !!!
And cherry on the cake: you will meet great people (students and teachers...and the IronHack staff)!

Great Curriculum + Outstanding Teachers & Staff + Super Cohort = Amazing Experience
Read more Read less of David P.'s review
This really was an outstanding experience on so many levels!
First, IronHack makes sure the curriculum is in synch with the latest developments in the tech industry (think ES6, Vue.js, Bootsrtrap etc.) so you end up with skills that are relevant on the market.
As a matter of fact, a bootcamp is very intense, so be prepared for a rough ride, with much knowledge to absorb, a good dose of frustration and a few doubting moments to overcome. True, the learning process is exhilarating at times and painful at other, but always keep the faith that with time and practice you will progress, understand and succeed.
The bootcamp can fit many profiles from total newbies (as myself before bootcamp) to people with some knowledge of computer science or that have already dabbled with programming. Hence, our cohort was quite heterogeneous in terms of levels and goals, but it created a healthy emulation where co-students and assistants were always supportive to students that were most challenged.
Ultimately, as a student I am amazed by how much we have learned and achieved in a span of only 9 weeks. Yet, it is also very humbling to realise that there is still so much more to learn and that some advanced topics are just out of the reach of jr. devs. One thing I realised as well, is that programming is a craftsmanship that requires hours upon hours of practice and hands-on experience and no one can become a programmer overnight. Nevertheless, a bootcamp is simply the perfect kick-starter that will provide you with the basic skillset to be able to learn by yourself.
In a nutshell, I can assert that thanks to IronHack I have grown from code illiterate to code literate, which is truly life-changing.
If your goal is to be recruited as a jr. dev after the bootcamp, I recommend that you enter the bootcamp as much prepared as possible (do online tutorials, watch YT vids, check as many resources as possible etc.).
Hats off to the staff for, although we were only the second Parisian cohort, the bootcamp was already a fine-tuned machine very well connected with the French tech ecosystem.
A very special mention to the teaching staff (teachers and assistants) who were extremely skilled and whose dedication was just out of this world...
Pricing wise, definitely reasonably priced for its value and a well worth investment.

An incredible experience

Ironhack was one of my best experiences, a great personal and professional transformation.
The environment and the teachers are incredible, from the first moment you get soaked in the course, it is intense, but all this you carry with the help of your classmates, because not only learn from the teachers, but also from them, that's something you don't have when you study online, and the difference is very noticeable.

My way

Fue en la etapa en la que estaba lanzando mi primera startup, KAME, cuando gracias a un grupo de inversores que apostaron por nuestro proyecto nos aportaron grandes conocimientos en distintos campos antes totalmente desconocidos por mi parte. Uno de los que más me asombró y al cual estaba convencido que podría sernos de gran utilidad era todo lo relacionado al UX. Me decidí por Ironhack por recomendación en multitud de eventos para emprendedores. Me atrevería a decir que el curso superó en expectativas lo que yo tenía previsto. Tengo un perfil de desarrollo de negocio más que de diseño de UI y aún así el bootcamp me enseñó la cantidad de aplicaciones en el área de UX que se trasladaban a la gestión de la propia startup. Planteándome estoy de complementar mis conocimientos con el área de desarrollo código web -

Ironhack ha sido una experiencia increible, una completa transformación personal!
Es una decisión importante, y para mi ha sido la mejor que pude tomar para dar el cambio profesional que quería.
Desde el minuto 1 estás inmerso en el curso, intenso, sin tregua, y todo ello lo llevas perfectamente gracias al equipo y ante todo a los compañeros. Al insistir tanto por su parte en el compañerismo terminas por crear una piña que va a una, y eso se nota mucho!
Experiencia que volvería a repetir sin dudarlo!

Ironhack Madrid UX UI Design Bootcamp
Read more Read less of Elias Mas's review
Before entering Ironhack I worked as a Civil Engineer and I felt it was time for a change. I was always interested in the tech field and after pondering several options I decided to enrole in the UX UI Bootcamp as I felt it was the right fit for me, not only because of the topics covered but also because of the immersive study plan. My advice to future students would be: prepare to say good bye to your social life for eight weeks, but also prepare to enjoy. The syllabus is compelling and work oriented, the teachers are fully dedicated, and hopefully you´ll meet people as amusing and interesting as I did. And last but not least: Ironhack´s staff will get you in touch with people and companies working in the field during the last week´s hiring event so you will hit the ground running. Rest assured that your hard work will most probably pay-off, almost all of my colleagues (including me) are now working in this rapidly growing field. -

IT'S A BIG YES
One of the best experience in web dev I ever have. I join Iron hack to imrove my skill in web dev and with the help of great teachers and a team who will help you whatever ypu need. I really improve my skills in HTML, CSS, Node.js and Vue.js. You work on small project with a group so you wilo get a nice level at the end of this stage even you're a very newbie in webdev.

Fernando Rodríguez
APRENDÍ MUCHO MÁS DE LO QUE JAMÁS HUBIERA IMAGINADO
Read more Read less of Fernando Rodríguez's review
1. Lo que me animo a hacer ironhack era aprender a programar ya que no tenía ni idea. Yo quería aprender a programar porque siempre se me ocurrían ideas para emprender pero al final no las emprendía por no poder lanzar una web, plataforma o lo que fuera. Pensé que o sabía programar o no iba a poder emprender nada por mi mismo y menos a esta edad sin recursos. Además, sabía que igualmente este conocimiento me iba a venir bien en un futuro de todas todas. Ya por último solo me quedaba elegir un buen curso, ya que una vez intente hacer algo de coursera pero pase, y me puse a buscar. A simple vista y sin tener ni idea el vuestro parecía el mejor. Luego resulta que acerté ya que aprendí mucho más de lo que me esperaba.
2. Lo que más me gustó fue sin duda lo aprendido y el trato de compañeros y staff. Desde Marc y Papu, hasta los TAs, hasta LLuis, Álvaro, Anto, etc. Creo también que hacéis por facilitar un bootcamp cómodo en cuanto a cocinona, ironhack abierto siempre, etc.
3. Mi experiencia global un 10 de verdad, sobre todo porque a parte de la amistad, ha sido la vez que más he aprendido sobre algo en poco tiempo y, esto era realmente lo que me interesaba, aprender.
4. He aprendido básicamente todo lo que enseñabais y más. Yo creo que lo importante es saber luego manejarse como programador, ya que he seguido desarrollando por mi cuenta un par de semanas y he aprendido, por ejemplo, a gestionar los tokens para logins y eso entre otras cosas. Creo que las dos ultimas semanas me ayudaron a consolidar todos los conceptos y que, realmente las semanas de proyecto son importantes para aprender a moverse como un programador y saber luego sacarte las castañas del fuego ante cualquier error o bug. -

Jodidamente increible

Ha sido una de las mejores experiencias de mi vida, desde antes de llegar me han ayudado muchísimo todo el equipo de Ironhack. Una vez aquí, siempre hay algo nuevo por hacer. Nuestro Lead Teacher Marc Pomar sin duda explica fenomenal y no hay ni una duda que me haya quedado pendiente por contestar.
Los compañeros son increibles, porque el espíritu Ironhack que se respira desde el primer día nos motivan para ayudar a los compañeros y nos enseñan mucho sobre la frustración.
Además, la Hiring Week funciona, es decir, la semana de contratación vinieron 30 empresas a entrevistarnos a los alumnos (unos 18) y prácticamente todos hemos salido con trabajo.
Es una experiencia muy grande y que volvería a vivir en mi vida.

Ironhacks’ web development bootcamp offers a great insight for beginners to the world of programming. If I had been asked 9 weeks ago to explain the processes that go into creating a website, I would not know where to begin. Now, I can create a full stack web application.
The curriculum is dense and it can be intimidating for a beginner. But by the end, you will have enough knowledge of HTML, CSS and Javascript to start your own projects and learn new tools using their respective documentation.
The instructors are intelligent and passionate about the course material. Therefore, they are able to break down complicated topics in a way that is easy for beginners to understand. The teaching assistants make themselves available to help students past the hours of the bootcamp.
The staff that work at Ironhack are friendly and are always working hard to make sure students get the best the most out of their time with Ironhack. We had many organized talks from experts on topics including: machine learning, legal start-up advice, and how venture capitalists make investment decisions. This was a benefit of the course that I didn't see beforehand but made the program that much more valuable.
I fully recommend this course to anyone that like me, has an interest in understanding how web development works. -

Web development bootcamp, or a summer to challenge myself and learn way more than coding
Read more Read less of Bénédicte's review
I decided to join Ironhack web development bootcamp for several reasons and I didn't regret my choice and was even more satisfied than what I expected.
I had 2 objectives: I wanted to learn how to code so as to start my own business, I wanted to connect to the tech environment.
Both objectives were reached and even more I hadn't expected!
Here are the main advantages of this program to me:
- We learnt the latest technologies and at the end of the bootcamp were able to develop our own webapp and received all the elements to be able to go on learning more languages and
- The program is not only about getting the material read and going through the exercices one by one: the team is super involved in fine-tuning it to the rythm of the students and is flexible to make sure everyone keeps on board. There are several teacher assistants and we can easily ask for help.
- There are many add-ons to the coding training that are super valuable: weekly meeting with people from the tech environment (entrepreneurs, developpers, recruiters...), activities during the bootcamp...
- The team is great and is dedicated to make the experience unique and the atmosphere is very friendly and nice.
The program is quite expensive but I think it worth the investment. It's not easy, but you never get great results from easy experiences.

Realicé el Grado en Economía en la Universidad Autónoma de Bellaterra (UAB) mientras trabajaba como administrativo en una empresa de logística, después de tres años trabajando allí, me despidieron y tras casi un año en paro me decidí por entrar en Ironhack, aconsejado por un amigo que trabaja en el mundo de la programación.
Ha sido una de las mejores experiencias de formación que he tenido. Pasas por momentos de estrés, momentos en que piensas que no te quedas con nada, pero ver como a medida que va avanzando el curso y realmente te das cuenta de que te van saliendo las cosas y vas acordándote de todo lo que has ido haciendo es muy gratificante, en parte gracias tanto a los compañeros como a los profesores, que siempre están para ayudarte.
Yo diría que lo más importante que he aprendido es aprender a aprender, este curso te enseña a programar y a saber cómo hacer aquello que todavía no sabes hacer. Lo mejor sin duda es ver el resultado final en el proyecto, ver que has logrado hacer algo que cuando empezaste el curso jamás habrías imaginado que podrías llegar a hacer, y por otro lado todo lo que hemos vivido todo el grupo de estudiantes del curso junto con los profesores y los trabajadores de Ironhack, sin duda una gran familia donde siempre ha habido muy buen rollo y con los que hemos sabido amenizar las dificultades del curso con comidas, Ironbeers, etc que han ayudado a desconectar lo justo del curso y poder seguir con más fuerza si cabe.
Ahora mismo estoy buscando un nuevo trabajo, pero porqué hasta hace nada he estado trabajando en un proyecto que he terminado. Con este curso salimos preparados para encontrar cualquier trabajo en el sector, hasta los que no habíamos estudiado nada relacionado con el mundo de la programación antes, como es mi caso. -
Maikha Abarca
From Ironhack to ThoughtWorks
Read more Read less of Maikha Abarca's review
I fell in love with coding when I studied at Ironhack at the end of 2015. It was an unexpected but wonderful process. The whole experience was an incredibly challenging but fulfilling adventure and at the end I was exhausted but grateful. I always say that it was like opening the door to a wonderful unknown world full of technological mysteries and magic. Yes, I wanted to be a magician, there was still a lot to learn but the door had been opened.
After the bootcamp, I was lucky enough to be offered a variety of very interesting jobs, partially because of my previous experience as a designer but mainly because I COULD NOW CODE. Many people still have no idea how different the world can be when you can code. So off I went, worked in three different startups managing projects, changing processes and contributing in the creation of amazingly innovative digital products.Today, after a long period of self evaluation, I have been offered a job at one of the most creative consultancy firms I have ever heard of. I will be a developer at ThoughtWorks.
Ironhack changed my life and I guess I am still in love.

As with anything in life, you'll get back what you put in. IronHack proved to be just that. A bootcamp that provided a well-rounded curriulum that offers a peak into what the UX/UI world pertains without sugar coating the effort that it takes to become a part of it. Instructors come with solid resumes and years of true hands-on experience that helped guide students' personal missons and soldify their purpose for taking the journey in the first place. The staff cares deeply about the program and the success of their students. I for one took the course not to change my career, but to enhance my current skills. In the end, I definietly got what I needed out of it. If you're thinking about taking the course whether to switch careers or out of curiosity, I'd say do it. You won't regret.

A great trampoline for your professional career
Read more Read less of Lorenzo Gimeno's review
Even though I have a business background, I have always been interested and attracted to learn how to code. During my MSc in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, I realized how important is to have at least some basic knowledge on programming. For that reason, I decided to join Ironhack last summer for the two months’ intensive bootcamp.
I am very happy with the decision I made. In two months, I was able to learn in a structured way all the basic concepts and gain a solid base that allows me right now to keep learning, on my own, based on my needs.
In my opinion, all the theoretical knowledge is important, but the only way to improve is to practice, to make mistakes and to learn from those mistakes. The bootcamp format combines the theory (morning) with the practice (afternoon) very well. During the practice period, you have teacher assistants that can help you solve all the problems you may encounter.
The coding community is growing at a fast past, there are a lot of events going on. Ironhack allows you to become a member of the community and gives you access to all the workshops and events for you to keep learning other practices and to meet interesting people working on the field that can help you with your personal projects.
As for me, after the bootcamp, I decided to start programing my own software for the startup I am working for.

Once upon a time...
There was a man who felt the call of "The force". There were so much brute power inside him... and he knew so. He wanted to control that force to do something useful in the war between the Mordor army and the Funky Army. He started his travel to be teached by the greatest masters... and someone heard his call: The Ironhack Order. He traveled to the capital in Neverland to know that wonderful people that everyone was talking in the Funky Army, and he did the test to become The Master Of The Universe and help the world to be brighter. First day came and Marc Snow(Lead teacher), leader of the Enterprise squad, told him: "I will give you Javascript, bro! Now you could control your inner force". With the help of Raul Spok (Assistant teacher) and Papu Sulu (Assistant teacher), the warriors were well trained. ...And the days past. Today i can say that I'm a Javascript Shaolin, and we have the best preparation to defeat the Orcs of ugly code. Live long and prosper! -

Com um background em Economia e Marketing, decidi experimentar um novo ramo: a programação!
Porque? Porque era mais um desafio como todos os os outros mas a minha experiencia no Ironhack foi incrivel. A forma como nos ensinam não tem nada aver com outro tipo de ensino. O foco principal é fazer com que te desenrrasques e que aprendas a fazer tudo de forma prática. Para não falar do ambiente: estive em contacto com todo o tipop de pessoas, desde ex-programadores de Cuba como estudantes Venezuelanos. Toda uma comunidade cosmopolita junta 24/7, que querem todos aprender a programar com a maior das motivações.
Aprendi principalmente a aprender e para além disso trabalhar em grupo e sob pressão. O que mais me fascinou foi o facto de não existir qualquer tipo de hierarquia entre os professores e os alunos que facilitou a aprendizajem. Programar não é para todos mas sim para aqueles que querem! -

To anybody thinking about switching careers, IronHack is in my opinion the best school to get foundational training in software-engineering. You won't find another staff in the world working together to ensure your success in this field like they do. They have worked tirelessly and have gone above and beyond numerous times to ensure a students success. I will forever be grateful to their dedication and the passion they bring to their work. It truly shows.

My name is Alvaro, I'm 26 and I'm from Spain. I studied BSc in Business Management and MSc in International Trade, and before Ironhack I had worked as a tech & trade consultant for the Spanish Embassy. I also helped launch a beverage business in the US. Technology has always been my passion, and I decided if I wanted to work in the startup world, I had to become literate in the language that composes the products we create.
My experience with Ironhack couldn't have been better. The course was well structured and the pace was just right. We learnt the basic concepts and then focused on practical training for real world applications. The immersive nature of the program makes it easy to learn in three months, and the friendly environment definitely helps.
I am currently studying Digital Marketing at UCLA. I have since learnt Node.js and React on my own and I'm working on launching an application soon! Thanks Ironhack for making it possible! -

Era lo que necesitaba para darle un giro a mi carrera como diseñadora gráfica.
Aprendí a presentar en público mis proyecto, a ganar confianza en mi misma y en lo que hago. Aprendí a organizar el proceso de trabajo para llegar a un buen resultado. Refresqué conocimientos y adquirí mucha información sobre lo que se maneja actualmente en la profesión, que era justo lo que estaba buscando. Aprendí mucho de mis compañeros, me tocó un grupo de personas excelentes con las que sigo en contacto y fueron muy importantes los dos meses. La hiring week superó ampliamente mis expectativas, me han contactado por segunda vez casi todas las empresas.
Era insegura para las entrevistas y esa semana noté un cambio en mi bastante grande, que estoy segura que tiene que ver con todo el proceso de aprendizaje de los últimos meses.Fue muy interesante toda la experiencia y conseguí trabajo antes de terminar la semana. -

Antes de comenzar IronHack, como ingeniero industrial, llevaba la dirección técnica del área eléctrica de la empresa donde trabajaba. Aunque tenía una carrera profesional encauzada, no me encontraba a gusto con hacía y decidí cambiar por completo de dirección hacia el mundo de la programación y las empresas tecnológicas. Dentro de Ironhack te encuentras muy cómodo en cuanto al trato, ya que todo el mundo intenta conseguir que encuentres a gusto y ayudarte a conseguir aprovechar al máximo la experiencia: desde los teacher assistants, hasta cualquiera que pase por allí y que te pueda ayudar. También hay que destacar que en Ironhack coincides con gente que, por distintos motivos, busca lo mismo que tú y en la que te vas a poder apoyar para poder llegar aún más lejos. Aunque el tiempo es limitado y hay muchas cosas a las que tienes que dedicar tu tiempo, consiguen que tengas una visión global y de cada una de las partes de una aplicación web, que puede ser desde algo pequeño como un site de venta online hasta Twitter. Una parte de la formación y del apoyo que te brindan se dirige directamente a la búsqueda de empleo, aportándote tácticas, caminos y consejos para que tardes lo menos posible en encontrar trabajo una vez que termines. En resumen, es una gran experiencia.
