Best bootcamp experience
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
When I first started my web development bootcamp, I was kinda scared about the enormous amount of information that we would be learning during the following 9 weeks. I seemed huge...extremely difficult! However, as we started our classes and got to know our teachers, I realized that I didn't need to worry. We had the best teachers who had the best attitude towars us. We learnt more than what I thought was possible. And we also became a part of Ironhack's family. This is a great option for someone who wants to become an excellent developer and who want to face new challenges.

Overall is a good course, however, you should get TA's with a stronger background in the subjects you're about to teach.
Also, for Windows users, you should have a previous session with them so they're all set up with the tools they'll be needing during the course's development.

Not so great
My experience was quite different.
The cohort in Berlin seems quite unorganised and lacks basic communication. For the amount of money one has to spent in order to attend this bootcamp you might expect a more professional and polite environment.
I also experienced discrimination due to my gender and ethnic background. I do not recommend this bootcamp.

Yo repetiría
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
Pues sí, repetiría, con todo lo que ello implica. Durante 9 semanas mi vida personal se esfumó prácticamente por completo (vivía con el miedo de que mi hija un día no me reconociera xD) pero realmente vale la pena. El bootcamp es intenso y hay que trabajar muy duro, pero con la ayuda de mis compañeros (pasamos muchas horas juntos y eso, quieras que no, hace equipo) y el soporte de todo el staff, te sientes como en casa y apoyado en todo momento. Ya no es solo lo que aprendes a nivel técnico, a nivel personal también es una experiencia súper enriquecedora.

I would like to repeat it again
The best choice I did.
You don't know about it until you live it.
Live it, and tell me....

Excellent course
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I researched other coding boot-camps in the area and from reading the reviews, I gathered this would be the best choice. I also asked my friends who are computer programmers and they all agreed that this curriculum was the most up to date and the most thorough. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to keep up or that it would cover an obscure topic, but none of that was true. You do need to have some basic understanding of programming before you start. But they give you the opportunity to learn that before starting the course with the Pre-work they assigned. The curriculum is very well designed, as long as you put in the time to learn, you will do very well. I can’t believe how much we learned in 2 months. It also helped that everyone taking the course was highly motivated and we all helped each other and kept each other accountable. Overall, it was a great experience.

I totally recommend ironhack !
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I am a student who did the Web Dev Bootcamp in part-time in Paris.
I was a total beginner in the conding world.
Let me explain what was my experience at Ironhack ;)
As you may know, the course last 6 months and is separated in 3 parts. At the end of every part, you have 1 month to make a project that you choose. Every week, you also practice A LOT by doing the exercises, which are really helpful to understand the common mistakes.
The first part is for HTML, CSS, and Javascript, which are the basics for front-end development. For me, this was the hardest part, because raw Javascript may have a logic that could be hard to understand at the beginning. But as you go forward you learn a lot, and the teachers are very dedicated to help you. At the end of this part 1, you have to develop a game; which is a very cool way to practice and learn as you code.
The second part is the back-end part, learning NodeJs and Express. You just have to learn the logic and copy/paste what is in the Ironhack course and in the documentation to make everything work. You will learn how to manage a database and use APis (Google Maps' API, Spotifiy' API, etc).
The last part, my favorite one, is to merge front-end and back-end, using NodeJs and REACT, which is a very cool language. Inititally the plan was to learn AngularJs, but the teacher decided to make us learn React, which is most demanded and very useful for what we will have to do. At the end of module 3, we had 1 month to develop and pitch our product. The final project usually match a professional project you have, and the teacher are really devoted to help you success.
To conclude all of this, I really enjoyed my experience at Ironhack, with a super team, super teachers and lot of great people met. I particularly enjoyed :
- the ambiance
- the dedication of the team to help you succeed
- the flexibility and kindness of the teachers
- the courses offered, with all the exercises you have to practice.
Amazing experience and School, THANKS a lot !

Por debajo de lo esperado
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
¿Expectativas?... Si, soy consciente de que las expectativas en parte las se las crea uno mismo y lo he tenido muy en cuenta a la hora de redactar esto.
En el caso de IronkHack, la promesa de marca es fuerte. Transmiten una imagen poderosa y solvente, bien gestionada. Una imagen ganadora.
Diría que la realidad llega sólo al 70% de lo que cabe esperar a la vista de su marketing.
A lo concreto: el curso en el que he participado estaba al 100% de su capacidad en asistentes. No cabía ni uno más. 24 alumnos en total. Han doblado lo asistentes respecto a las convocatorias inmediatamente anterior y posterior. Pero no han doblado los recursos. Eso es un hecho. El sistema de TA (profesores asistentes) no profesionales, a mi juicio, no funciona. Si bien el profesor principal presenta la experiencia y cualidades adecuadas, las TA's eran inexpertas y su criterio fácilmente cuestionable. El feedback, algo imprescindible para los alumnos sobre la marcha y resultado de sus proyectos, ha sido insuficiente, en algunos casos inadecuado (hay que dar argumentos, ser riguroso, razonar la posturas, por favor... Esto eso que tratáis de enseñarnos a nosotros los alumnos) y hacia el final del curso, cuando más lo necesitábamos, raquítico. A veces teníamos que andar "a la caza" del profesor. Decisiones como la elección del tema para nuestro proyecto final han estado totalmente condicionadas por las TA's, que en mi opinión no han estado a la altura y no han dado el asesoramiento adecuado.
Globalmente les doy un 6,5. La relación calidad-precio: caro. -

UX/UI Design Course Ironhack
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I started the course coming from a completely different background... so had lots to learn.
The course was extremely intensive and effective. It’s impressive what you learn in such a short space of time! In just 8 weeks you get a good basis in all aspects of UX and UI design, all the way from validating ideas through user research to designing high fidelity prototypes in sketch and flinto. The teachers are passionate and knowledgeable.
On top of that, Sonia is great at helping you secure a job after finishing the course. She has a lot of great contacts and gets you over the first hurdle of securing interviews. I finished the course just before xmas and was already working midway through January as a UX designer in Barcelona.
I would definitely recommend the course, but do it with an open mind and with realistic expectations. You won’t know everything there is to know about UX/UI design after 8 weeks... but you will have learned a solid foundation that will leave you well equipped to carry on learning in your first role.

I had a fantastic time at Ironhack and learned so much.
Nizar is one of the two best teachers I've ever had and I have been in school for way too long.The effort he puts in is admirable and motivating.
Kevin and Gus were very kind, helpful and ego-boosting TAs and I appreciate them immensely.
The Ironhack staff is amazing, Alia and Marisa, you two are integral to the success of one of the best bootcamps worldwide.
Brito is a really awesome guy, he truly cares and he will do his best for you. And he has some quotes that you will remember your whole life.
I was hired as a developer after the course and this would not have been possible without Ironhack.
A fair word of warning however: you must dedicate yourself entirely and you must love programming. You will have to go above and beyond what is taught in class to be competitive in the job market. And once you have finished these two months, you will realize how much there is left to learn; it never ends, so be prepared and make sure this is your passion.
Thank you to all of Ironhack!!!

Has potential
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
Pros - The instructors were very knowledgable with great credentials. They also had a lot of networking opportunities, but most of the attendees were not interested in students and were looking for more experienced developers. Classroom and campus was very nice and Barcelona is beautiful.
Cons - When I applied, I was told the graduates had a 96% employment rate after graduation. When I arrived, the figure changed to 80% (understandable). However, my class, most of those with little to no knowledge of programming in my course still do not have a job or offers months later. Also, the class size was two times as advertised, we had over 30 people in our class, and it was nearly impossible to get help from the TAs. Also, the "career week" was only a single day and was not held immediately after the course, it was over two weeks after the course had ended, which meant many of us could not attend due to travel/visa issues. The coursework was shoddy and disorganized, we had lessons in week three for material we were expected to know on day one. They claim to take you from 0% to 80%, I would say I went from 20% to 50%. I am still unemployed and cannot find a job.

Ironhack Grad to Full Time Dev
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
Personally, I had a great experience at Ironhack. The staff was always very kind and helpful. They provide a huge amount of high quality resources and guidance. I tried teaching my self programming over the Internet but honestly, there are so many tutorials and courses that take so many different approaches that it's really difficult to figure out which way is best. I think the instruction at Ironhack with their experienced devs was invaluable. Like anything in life, what you put in determines what you get out. Ironhack and bootcamps in general are no different. Ironhack prepared me to take the first step toward becoming a true developer. However, I think all prospective bootcamp students should understand that programming is really a skill that takes years upon years to master. Bootcamps will give you a foundation and prove to potential employers that you can learn the neccesary skills, but don't expect to come out of a bootcamp as a beast programmer. That will take time. If you are ready to put that time in and truly want to become a developer I think bootcamps are an essential first step! Ironhack taught many practical and useful skills that I was able to apply day 1 of my first job. I now have some friends who attended other bootcamps in the Miami area and in speaking with them about their experiemces, I have no doubt in my mind that Ironhack is the best bootcamp in South Florida bar none!

From zero to hero
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I attended de full time Web Development Bootcamp in Ironhack Barcelona. During 8 weeks I learned to develop a full working web app from scratch, using Ruby on Rails, Javascript, HTML5 and CSS3 technologies.
Every week during these period, we had a different lead teacher coming from the industry to teach us how companies use these technologies and how we should focus to use them. We learned version control git, basics of TDD and unit testing, responsive design, Bootstrap, and more.
The place is very friendly and you will feel comfortable since the first day. You have all the basics to stay there all there. During the afternoon, everyday, there are some exercises proposed, as well as pair programming. Here you can try to develop everything you learned in the morning.
Finally, the last 2 weeks of the course, you will have to focus on your final project. You will have to decide to make a web app and try to develop it fully on your own. TAs are there everyday to help you with any doubt you've got. All projects are rated by professional developers, and the best five are presented during a well known event in Barcelona.
But hey! Here's the best part: the hiring week. One of the attractive points of these course is to find a job later. Guess what? During the hiring week, the Ironhack staff helps you contact with companies and talk with people to get hired. Yeah, I was quite skeptical at first, but nowaday's I've got a job, so I am fully satisfied.
So, you just need to stay positive and work hard during these 8 weeks, and finding a job in Barcelona is almost 100% guarenteed.

How to change your live in 9 weeks
Ironhack was the way to change my life and to be able to learn in a totally different way than usual. They make you feel that you belong to a big family and all your colleagues are there to help you. After finishing the bootcamp I realized everything I had learned and that I was ready to enter a company with the guarantee that I would do well.

Best experience ever
My only regret is not doing this sooner then I wished I did. This bootcamp has shifted my life to a more positive side and I have learned so much in such a small amount of time. Excited to see what the future holds for me after gaining the knowledge of great developers!

Thank God i ride an uber to work

I recently finished the web development part-time course.
I found out about Ironhack through the scholarship that uber was granting and i was lucky enough to get a partial one, and just be able to do the course was a great opportunity.
If you're thinking about whether or not you should do the course, think no more, do it. You'll learn tons of direct applicable knowledge in such a short amount of time that you'll be amazed. When you're done you'll be able to build any web app you can think of, just don't miss class and put as much effort and time as you can on this. It's worth it!

A 9-week unforgettable experience
Read more Read less of Rubén Vilches Pérez's review
It’s difficult to describe what I’ve lived in the last weeks, perhaps the word is UNIQUE and IRREPLACEABLE.
A few weeks ago I decided to do the web development bootcamp at Ironhack, I had no prior experience in programming as I worked in admin and logistics. Having finished the course, I know programming is what I want to do and I want to keep learning about all types of technologies.
¿What did I do during these 9 weeks? Coding, coding, coding. It could sound boring but it was far from it. When you do something you like, you don’t mind putting in the hard work. Here you learn many technologies from day one, and even though it’s very difficult d and very intense, the result is worth it: my colleagues because friends, the staff is always there to help you even outside their working hours and, most of all, I know have the tools to become a junior programmer.

Best experience
Read more Read less of Anna Hogberg's review
By far one of the most richful experiences I've had.
I didn't know what to expect , everything seemed too "perfect". But now, a month after graduating, I can say without a doubt that enrolling has been the best decision I've made in a long time.
I didn't have any kind of previous experience, and already before graduating, I had an offer.
Of course there were ups and downs, but I would do it again and again. You don't only come out with the knowledge, but friends for life.
A million thanks to everyone at Ironhack!

I came to Ironhack as a way to transition out of teaching into UX Design.
As a recent grad of Ironhack's UX/UI Design course in Miami, I can say that I couldn't have made a better choice. The support and experience that I received was amazing. Ironhack staff treated us as family and looked out for us as such by sharing knowledge, resources, and encouragement. The instructors and guest speakers are knowledgeable on the most current trends, and the holistic curriculum ensures that graduates are able to hit the ground running in our new careers. The learning experience was a great time and project based, there was never a dull moment.
One of the most valuable things that Ironhack offers is the continued support even after you complete the program. They truely are invested in our success and have provided a life-changing experience. I am so happy with the decision to come here and so proud to be an Ironhacker.

Best place to learn how to code
Read more Read less of Alejandro Santamaria Gomez's review
I was a digital artist who worked as a full time freelancer. So coding was not something I was very familiar with.
IronHack helped me to learn the basics of coding during the first week. It is really impressive how fast the bootcamp guides you through the topics until you start learning some complex frameworks in a short period of time.
I was able to find a job during the ironhack's event: "Hiring Week" where I was able to solve coding test of many companies.
For someone who had no proffesional experience in coding, finding a job after 2 weeks was something unbelivable.
I really recommend this bootcamp for people who wants to switch their professional career. I was able to duplicate my income in a very short time.
Aside from the job part. The people I met in this bootcamp were very kind. The lead teacher and teacher assistants were always there to help me in the projects of the bootcamp. And the more experienced colleagues were also happy to help. -

No tengo otro tipo de palabras mas que positivas para definir Ironhack. Digamos que Ironhack es como esa chica linda de la cual siempre has estado enamorado pero siempre te friendzonea...pero ahi estas de idiota intentando e intentando, aguantando y aguantando creyendo que la paciencia te dara su amor y que crees....SI la paciencia te dio su amor.
Ironhack es muy parecido...sufriras durante el curso pero al final lo lograras! Te convertiras en un programador, en un Developer developer developeeeeer :D solo mentalizate en aguantar pacientemente, codear junto con el teacher y consologuear tooooodoooo !
Si eliges Ironhack creeme que no te vas a arrepentir...mas bien te arrepentiras de no haberlo hecho antes!

A great experience
I attended the full time UX/UI Design Bootcamp finished the last 10th of August and it was a surprising experience. I had relocated to Spain 2 weeks before the beginning of the bootcamp and I was looking for a change of career. This course gave me confidence, tools I can use as a UX/UI designer and made me know a bunch of great humans I can rely on from now on.

Life Changing Experience
Read more Read less of Jens Kai's review
Ironhack was an amazing experience. I knew nothing about coding before going in but 9 weeks later I feel like I have a solid base to start my coding career. The Instructors and TA's are dedicated to your learning experience and will sit with you and work things out until you have a solid grasp on whatever concept we're learning about that day. Ironhack is incredibly fast-paced. But as long as you're dedicated, keep studying and keep working hard every day, you won't regret attending. The people you meet will not only help you through the camp but also become your friends for life. Another reason I would suggest this Bootcamp instead of other coding boot camps is Daniel Brito. He's the placements manager at Ironhack and he goes above and beyond to help you find a job after Ironhack. He trains you in what to say for the interview, brings in multiple guest speakers along with presentations, and even organizes a hiring fair that takes place solely for Ironhack grads. He won't rest until you're employed.

My experience at Ironhack was outstanding! All of the representatives are super helpful, positive and cheerful. Everyday was great and they help you each step of the process. If I could go back in time I would do it again!
