Intensive? yes. Worth it? Definitelly

I'm 25 right now, and in my hole life i have never learn content of as much quality as in the UX/UI bootcamp in Ironhack Madrid. During the hole bootcamp I never had a doubt that the lead teacher or the teacher assistants could not help me with, pro teachers, pro content, pro facilities, I finished this period with several high quality projects, my own web (made from the scratch by me) and feeling that I'm ready to face a professional position.
By now, after almost 3 months, I'm done with the bootcamp, but, as they taught me, not with learning.
Awesome experience! -

Quite an experience, you do not think it will be difficult until it is 3 am and you have not finished the task for the day, a good level of teaching but the best is the level of the teachers, always attentive to trends and giving everything.
Great experiences and being part of an unbeatable community every day bigger than developers is something that Ironhack leaves you.

A real Challenge
Read more Read less of Esteban Gutierrez's review
If you are interested in giving a change to your life, whether you are a developer or not, you have studied something in order to programming or digital marketing, this is an excellent option, the truth is that it is not easy, your first weeks are beautiful, everything is Take it easy, you find out that you have colleagues who are industrial designers, biologists (real history), you learn a lot, you level with the group, of course, there are those who excel in the group.
The teachers at the level, experts, I thank Joss and Diego very much for the work they did for us, they never left us alone, always attentive, everything is beautiful until the first module project touches, it is difficult, it is when you really you realize that this is serious, but just as it is difficult you do a super match with your teammates, everyone feels in the same difficult situation, you become empathetic, friendly.
The first exhibition is rare, you are faced with presenting your ugly son, your first creation but everything is worth it, that's the way it is in each of the modules.
This Bootcamp is a real challenge, it has its ups and downs, hold on, you are not alone, you make true friends that are worth for a lifetime, you learn an incredible work rhythm that you will not learn anywhere else if you are thinking of learning web development, ironhack is a Or maybe I would say the best option you can choose.
someone who just finished the Bootcamp tells you, it's worth a hundred percent worth

El asistir al Bootcamp de Ironhack, fue mucho mejor de lo que esperaba, gracias esta oportunidad me cuenta de mis mayores fortalezas y de mis debilidades, esto me llevo por un buen camino para el sable afrontar diferencias debilidades apoyándome en mis compañeros, TA y Maestros .
Es algo extremadamente intenso, ese tipo de cosas que te ponen a prueba a ti mismo ya los que te rodean, y son esas cosas las que hacen mejorar, puesto que todo el tiempo el BOOTCAMP te esta retando con los ejercicios, los proyectos, las katas e incluso te reta a ti mismo, a resolver cosas que creas que jamas lograrías hacer, aprendes de tus errores y lo superas logrando de esta forma hacer lo mejor tanto en tus conocimientos como en tus habilidades, virtudes y tu trato con los demás .
Es algo que recomiendo de todo corazón:
-Yo una persona que no contaba con la economía suficiente para pagarlo y aventúrate a pedir una beca la cual me solventara el pago.
-Yo que decidí quedarme más de un día en el campus para lograr resolver mis proyectos, mis trabajos y aprender más y más.
Espero en un futuro volver a tomar un bootcamp en IRONHACK, poner que si la primera vez me repite al punto de lograr lo imposible, la siguiente sera mucho mejor, ya sea en Datos o en UX / UI, son ese tipo de cosas que te motivar a ser mejor, un superarte y sobre todo a no conformarte con lo que tienes y siempre buscar ser alguien mejor sin dejar de aprender nunca -

Best Bootcam Ever

My first impression when knowing ironhack, is that it is a traditional school, where I will learn what they teach you in a university. You arrive and they tell you that in 9 weeks you will be a developer. At that moment I feel that this is impossible and you really doubt if it is true, you walk through the facilities and you realize that it is not a traditional school, strangely people are happy here and you have no idea why. I encourage you to do the bootcam, they tell you that it is heavy that you can that it is a challenge that changes your life, and still I still disbelieve. Classes pass and it is indeed very rude. sometimes you can't sleep, you feel like crying and there is always someone encouraging you who tells you that you can, the weeks go by and you take a hard work rhythm, you still don't sleep but nevertheless there is always someone behind you saying you can. Reaching the end is difficult but I can tell you that here you make a family. You go out having nightmares with the code but with everything necessary to face the world outside -

In search of a career change, I found Ironhack (BEST. DECISION. EVER) and I can truly say graduating the 9-week Bootcamp with no prior design experience is one of my greatest accomplishments.
Overall, all the staff is amazing. David Fast was an incredible teacher, he has so much experience in the industry and is so willing to share all his knowledge with us, students. Then there were our TA's, Nicole and Mikel...always willing to help and always there to make you laugh or give a pep talk when you needed it most.
I will say, the Bootcamp is not for the weak. It is long hours and a huge learning curve, but honestly so fulfilling and ultimately worth it! I never thought I would come out with the knowledge I currently have.
Then, after the Bootcamp comes to an end, its time for the job hunt. As we all know, job hunts aren't fun, but if you have Brito to help along the way, you're golden. Through the process, he was so willing to answer my many questions, and always rooting for me. I am so grateful to have him in my circle.
Ironhack will give you all the tools to succeed, I would do it again in a heartbeat. -

I was part of the first class of Data Analytics in México. It was an amazing bootcamp, all the contents were up to date and rrally relevant. What I really value about the bootcamp is the experience you get: You meet a lot of people from all professional areas and that share the same topic such as Data Analytics. Also, all the community and staff of Ironhack really worries about how you feel with your classes and tasks and really help you get the most out of the experience. I really recommend taking this course. -

Like many, I joined Ironhack because I wanted a chance to join the tech industry with zero developing experience, and that's exactly what I did. The tools are all there for you to succeed, if you are willing to work harder than you have ever worked before. None of the courses offered are for the faint-of-heart but the instructors, TA's and the whole staff works hard every day to make sure each student has the best chance to succeed. The building itself is designed to provide many conveniences so people can focus on their work. Coffee, food, snacks, games, beer and a great terrace with an even better view. Hard work is important but Ironhack definitely knows how to have fun too! There are always events for students and even prospective students to learn, network and have fun. Last but not least, someone needs to connect all these hard working students with employers and Ironhack has a powerhouse named Brito who's only goal is to make sure we all get hired. The network itself is extremely valuable and is the reason I'm happily working where I am today! -

Overall the course is pretty intense, covers tons of material and provide Ironhack platform to learn. It requires a lot of students time, some times it was difficult to manage full time job and bootcamp. Also Ironhack practice switching teachers that didn't work at all for me, but maybe will work for other students. Best of all - Ironhack has a very strong sense of community, and some teachers are really great and eager to help students! -

I started ironhack course In October, graduated in December, and got hired on the hiring fair in January. In February I started working.To be clear I was the weakest in my class. Everything about this Bootcamp is great. Teachers, Students, atmosphere, and of course price. All similar bootcamps would you cost more money. Also, there is always some internships, which is not hard to get. I got mine, and it saved me about 30%. That’s why it's ranked #2 in the world. I want to say special thanks to Nico Tzikas - great teacher and friend, and Daniel Brito - this guy is your lifesaver, he will do everything he can to help you find a job. He knows everything about this market. If you will do everything that he says, your chances to succeed are very high! -

Because that's what you'll get!
I completed Ironhacks UX/UI Design course in late 2018 and left equipped with the skills needed to win in today's competitive job market. *Enroll in this course if you want a competitive edge over your competition*
The teachers and Ironhack team we're all great and they all have a genuine interest in your success... it's hard to translate this into words but the vibe was just right... feel me.
I also recommend Ironhack since it's a live environment where you meet people in person and add to your professional network... and your network is the one thing that has the most leverage in landing YOUR dream job ;) ... you won't receive the same experience through an online boot camp if you're considering one.
I can happily say that I landed my first role as a UI designer 3 months after completing the Ironhack bootcamp and I couldn't be happier with my career and I'm confident that you'll feel the same.
The time to enroll is now!
If you're still on the fence - ask yourself, how would your life look like in 6 months from now if you don't take action and ownership over your career today?

Data Analytics - Ironhack

I did the Data Analytics Ironhack bootcamp, and graduated December 2019. The course covered a wide range of topics, ranging from the very basics of data cleaning and analysis, to building more advanced algorithms. The Data Analytics track was relatively new when I did the program and there were still some things that could have been improved, though the team at Ironhack was very receptive to feedback. Himanshu (the instructor) was very patient and knowledgeable. Brito (career advisor) really roots for you after graduating from the program and works tirelessly to get you hired in the field. He has a great network across South Florida, and if you put in the effort he will personally refer you to opportunities. -

Best decision ever

Before I enrolled at Ironhack, I read reviews by people saying it changed their lives and was the best decision they ever made. I thought they were exaggerating but after finishing my Boot Camp I’m happy to tell you that WOW I feel exactly the same way. I did the full-time UX course. It was hard work but I learned so much in 9 weeks despite having no background in design. We got in-person lectures as well as corresponding digital lecture slides and bonus material that’s ours to keep. Another aspect I loved was getting to do a hackathon with students from the other cohorts (web development and data). It was fun and collaborative and taught us a lot about the disciplines we’ll probably be working with in the future. Not only did Ironhack set me up for success (I’m now officially a UX/UI designer), but I met some of the most amazing people ever. For this and many other reasons, I’m happy I chose Ironhack over any other bootcamp. If you want more info about Ironhack, call them up or reach out to an alumni (everyone is really helpful!) -

During my time at Ironhack's Miami UX/UI bootcamp I learned all the valuable skills necessary to quickly change my career and ultimately my life. It was an amazing experience with incredible instructors who helped me every step of the way. Although it was exceptionally challenging, I looked forward to going to class everyday and felt sad the program was coming to an end for me during my 9th and final week.
Im proud to say that, because of Ironhack, I now work with Carnival Cruise Line as a UX/UI designer. I was able to get a job incredibly quick thanks to Ironhack. I also work part time for a company out of Berlin from home at my own pace which I was able to get by presenting past projects that I did at Ironhack.
P.S. before Ironhack I was a bartender for 7 years and was not tech savvy. As long as you put in the work, the hard work, Ironhack will provide everything you need to be successful in changing your career. -

I had a fantastic experience at Ironhack. I was stuck in tutorial hell, unable to apply learned concepts on my own until I decided to attend this program. The instructors forced met to challenge myself and learn complex concepts. Most importantly I learned how to learn. Daniel Brito mentored me and helped with job placement and continues to be my point of reference when looking for new jobs. Overall I would have not been able to accomplish this career change without Ironhack.
ps. You will need to give 120% everyday, 60% of the time you will feel lost, success will only be achieved through effort. -

Ironhack really delivered on all the promises and more. The courses were up to date, the location was fantastic and the community was warm and welcoming. Such a diverse group and really amazing teachers/staff made this the best it could be. Throughout my course Niko and Nick really blew my mind in terms of what was possible to teach in such a short amount of time, but also made sure to encourage and guide me along the way.
Other than the course itself, if it's not the amazing guest speakers, the fantastic companies that hire graduates right from within the same building, the fantastic cleaning staff (Te amo Maria!) and such an incredible support network you won't find a single thing left out. It's a really compelling place to have studied and such a revolving door of talented students that are constantly making that place better and brighter. Thank you to everyone there and thank you Daniel Brito in career services for making my change of career as simple and easy as it could be. He truly knows every employer personally and everywhere you might apply there's almost sure to be an Ironhack grad working there already! -

I have to say that this was a life-changing experience for me. I was hesitant to go, scared that I won't be able to pay it, but I applied for a scholarship and won a part ride, and also won my final project which came with a cash prize so I managed to pay off 95% of my tuition as soon as I was done.
I went in with 13 years of experience in graphic design and some front end. I wasn't sure what to expect, this was one of the most intense things I've accomplished. The way the cohort is structured is amazing. In 9 weeks I really got to learn fast and also request extra lectures and help if felt like I needed it. There is an opportunity to work with data and dev students which really gives an advantage in learning.
Instructors and TAs were amazing, very knowledgeable and supportive.
After winning the final project I immediately had a job offer. My paycheck is now more than double of what I was making for years as a graphic designer.
Truly the best decision ive made in my career. -

UX/UI Designer Full Time

As a graphic designer, I joined Ironhack’s UX/UI full time cohort in hopes of expanding my design career. The 9 weeks were very intense both in and out of the classroom, It’s a bootcamp after all. The curriculum is substantial and it’s virtually impossible to go over every topic at any given week, which was frustrating to me as I wanted to have lectures and learn about everything! I put in a good 12-hour day studying schedule and that included weekends working on my case studies, doing research and catching up on the design challenges and lectures not talked about in the classroom. I quickly realized that at the end of the day you get what you put in. If you don’t take it seriously and are diligent about completing all your assignments, research, case studies, presentations and blog posts on-time you will be wasting your time, money and resources. The staff is nice and courteous, my instructor David was very knowledgeable with tons of experience as a seasoned designer who worked hard to get us a well-known company to work with us for our final project. My TAs Nicole and Maikel were one of the best I’ve ever had, equally resourceful, friendly and amazing professionals. The facilities are pretty good, located in a co-working space building where a few tech companies operate, which is cool. There are daily treats offered by the building, a vending and a coffee machine, and a nice kitchen where you can have your meals plus plenty of restaurants close by. Also, several rooms and areas are available within the building to work on your assignments outside the classroom which was very helpful since I often stayed late working on my projects. Career services is one of the best things Ironhack has to offer. Daniel Brito, the outcomes manager is constantly teaching workshops and having one-on-ones with you to make sure you are following his directions and preparing for your new career. Once you’re done with the cohort, there’s a career week where you sit through lectures and dedicate time to work on your LinkedIn profile, portfolio website and interview techniques among other things. The last week of the cohort is dedicated to a hiring fair where local companies come to an event organized by Daniel to interview students for work opportunities. I’m happy my hard work paid off as I was hired shortly after by one of the companies I interviewed with. In conclusion, Ironhack will teach you a comprehensive curriculum, give you valuable tools in a nice environment, help you find a job to launch your UX/UI career and offer you a lifelong platform to always be current and part of the tech industry but you need to be dedicated, driven, resourceful and diligent about it. -

Going to Ironhack made a big change in my life, not only learned the MERN Stack, but how to work in a team, collaborate and solve problems with different ways, also made big connections with my classmates and the Ironhack Staff, they really take care about you, but you have to put effort to get the real value which are becoming a web developer and a big network. I truly recommend Ironhack if you don't know how to code and want to jump to the tech world, it can be "expensive" but it's worth every dollar. Teachers are really helpful and they know how to teach and solve any problem you might have, Sandra and Nick were my teachers and I can say I was very lucky learning a lot from them, they really motivated me to learn more and go further any challenge. Daniel Brito who is in charge of career services, does an excellent job helping students providing essential information and tips to land jobs. When I came to this country without any degree (only my HS diploma) I thought I would not find a real good job, but after Ironhack that changed. -

My experience at Ironhack was truly transformative. I graduated from the UX/UI Design program in Miami. A month later, I’m looking forward to starting a new position as a UX Designer at a software company.
I enjoyed being a part of the supportive Ironhack family, including knowledgeable and caring instructors, TAs, and staff. Also, I had the opportunity to make new friends and meet many wonderful people in the industry.
What sets Ironhack apart is their dedication to student success. They continuously improve their curriculum and provide excellent career services. Daniel Brito is brilliant! He prepared us for success throughout the program. His workshops, lectures, and the career fair were incredibly helpful and valuable.
It makes me very happy to look back and realize I made the right choice 100%! -

Failed miserably. Extremely unprofessional, not reliable, disorganized.
Let me summarize my experience.
After some experience in theoretical math, I wanted to make something more concrete. So I decided to go to a boot camp for data analysis in Berlin, where I live.
Since Ironhack was the cheapest one among others (still not so cheap, 7500 euros for 9 weeks), I was inclined to get the course offered by Ironhack. Here is what happened afterward: 1- Three weeks ago I contacted them and we made a 1-hour in-person meeting with Mr. López on the 31st of January.
In that meeting, Mr. López told me that I might be overqualified yet we both agreed that I should take their technical assessment. He also asked me to go over their preparation material. The assessment was set to the 4th of Feb.
2- Over the weekend I went over the material that took app. 5 hours.
3- I went to Ironhack to take the test. The TA who was supposed to execute the assessment told me that I was supposed to bring my own computer. But I was not told that I had to bring my own computer. So, this tech company told me that their company laptop was stolen and they are unable to provide me a laptop so that they could execute the assessment test. We had a nice 1-hour long chat with the TA. He was a nice guy who is a recent (last summer) graduate of one of the other boot camps.
4- Since the assessment failed, we organized a second meeting (this time online) for today. Yet, this morning I got an email saying
- they thank me very much for my participation in their admissions process for the last couple of weeks.
- But sadly they have to inform me that their TA is out sick today and the March course has also been filled to capacity, which means they won't be able to interview me at this moment.
- They also add that they know this is a bit of a short notice, but hey!!! as it is in tech, things tend to happen very quickly.
- They also wished me the very best in my next endeavors.
I was in contact with these people for around two and a half weeks, they asked me to go over tasks which cost my time, yet they didn't inform me that the capacity was about to fill.
I replied to their email and summarized the above to them as well. I ended my email as follows:
"...After all these, now, this morning, 4 hours before my technical assessment, Ironhack realizes that they have only one TA and no empty spot for the next month's course. You neither sound reasonable, nor believable.
I am glad that I learned the way Ironhack works before I spent 7500 euros. Apparently, Ironhack is an untrustworthy company."
They thanked me for my email. -

I ended up choosing Data Analytics because I wanted to supplement my work experience and have something that would help me standout to recruiters. Its been 4 months since my cohort graduated and I have since found a job. Besides helping me achieve my professional goals and adding new skills to my toolkit, the experience was also fun and i'll definitely look back fondly to the long hours spent with my cohort. The full time programs are all very demanding of your time and energy. If you're a complete newcomer to coding, I suggest dedicating as much time as possible to the pre-work. Also, brushing up on statistics is a good idea for data analytics. The only caveat I have about the full time program is that it passes very quickly. Before you know it you will be working on your final project. I remember thinking an extra few weeks would have been nice, I think a sweet spot would be about 12 weeks. Either way, if I could i'd do the whole thing over again. -

Last year, around this time I felt like I was stuck in a dead-end career in the Social Work field and felt that my future career-wise was bleak. I applied to FIU to start their MBA program last January to give myself more options, and in the process of looking for immediate ways to change my career, I found their Bootcamp through FIU's alumni website. Getting admitted into IronHack for me was a Godsend. It's easily one of the best decisions, I've made in life. Their full-time Data Analytics course taught me so much, from learning general End-to-End Analysis to getting a grip on an amazing language such as Python. My career possibilities changed tremendously. Our instructor Himanshu was absolutely amazing, patient in the lessons and always made time to give us individual attention to keep up. Our TA Tom was always happy to help when we'd hit those frustrating walls. Outside of our class, the IronHack staff, in general, was amazing, from Jessica to Nicole, and even the teachers from the other cohorts, making sure we were comfortable in our learning environment. The best part of it all was the relationship I developed with Brito, our Talent Manager. God is working through this man to completely change lives. He is as we say the G.O.A.T. He's helped countless students including through our Hiring process, and keeping his counsel got me to where I'm at today. Now starting my new career, I am eternally grateful to this program, Himanshu and Brito for changing my life. -

It Got Me A Job

I applied to the Miami UX/UI Bootcamp because I wanted a career as a ux/ui designer. I had a degree in Psychology and several years of design experience. I wanted a career that merged both and discovered ux. A masters was too expensive in both time and money, and to get a ux job with no portfolio or direct experience seemed daunting.
The most beneficial part of Ironhack in my mind was the career services portion. Daniel Brito and career week prepared me in terms of portfolio, linked in, resume, and interview skills. Without his help I would not have the job that I do.
I found all the staff to be encouraging and helpful. I learned a lot about ux process and methodology but most importantly classes gave me a structure with which I was able to make my portfolio shine.
I think that if I did not have previous experience with some of the design tools, Ironhack would have been significantly more difficult.
This is not something to do unless you are motivated to work hard and to get a job out of this. I’m so thankful for everyone at Ironhack and for the job that I have because of them. I love user experience and I could not imagine doing anything else with my life. -

I am grateful for having the opportunity to complete the data analytics program at Ironhack. The staff is encouraging and they provide you with continuous support. They're extremely passionate about education and want to see their students succeed. Their curriculum is comprehensive and very challenging, but the instructors and TAs are excellent, and do a great job at providing students with personalized feedback and covering each concept in a way that's approachable for every student regardless of their technical background. I felt like I've learned more in 9 weeks than I could have on my own in one year through self study. The culture and environment was perfect, and provided many opportunities for collaborating with and learning from other students. It was life-changing, and an overall incredible experience. -

A Leap of Faith
Read more Read less of Julian Phillips's review
Going to Ironhack was an extremely positive experience in my life. It helped me turn the page and enter the next chapter of my life successfully. The Full Stack Web Developer course helped me develop confidence in my ability as a developer. I spent time prior to this experience self-learning but found myself trapped in tutorial hell. By going to Ironhack, I was wrapped up in an environment that promoted more of a Nike philosophy to programming while lifting us up when imposter syndrome came knocking. Niko, one of the teachers, did a phenomenal job supporting me throughout times where my loft ideas seemed unattainable and helped guide me in making them possible.
The team at Ironhack are all extremely approachable and effortlessly make you feel like family. I could not be more pleased with the time that I have spent and will spend with them going forward. Without this experience, I don’t think that I would have the courage to call myself a developer. Thanks to all of the preparation, tough but fair feedback, and insights into what really matters, Brito cleared a path forward for us to make success possible.
Ultimately, if I did not make the leap of faith and take the full-time Full Stack Web Developer program at Ironhack, I would not be able to call myself a professional Frontend Developer today. -

I attended Ironhacks web dev bootcamp in hopes of getting away from my dead end job. Taking the step towards this by starting the 9 week bootcamp was extremely intimidating at first; feeling like I couldn't do something like this. With the help and guidance from the instructors and my classmates I grew in confidence day after day. Today I've successfully found a full time position with a software company putting my skills I learned from the bootcamp to work. When I think of myself and what I was doing a year prior it's hard to believe I've come this far. Much of it wouldn't have been possible I feel without the amazing and supportive staff at IronHack. This has been one of the biggest impacts in my life; thank you for everything! -

Currently, I work as a QA Engineer, and working so close with the developers inspired and motivated me to pick up the necessary skills and foundations to break into the web development field. So, I joined Ironhack’s part-time web development course to develop the necessary skills, which is the best decision I could have ever made. This course was a great opportunity to collaborate with people with an interest in technology, which allowed us to grow together and learn from each other. Additionally, all of the teachers and TAs are very responsive and receptive to questions. The project based curriculum allows you to learn for the sake of learning. -

I am a Civil Engineer working in construction in Florida for the last 15 years. I was looking for a change of career and a friend of mine sent me a link to the Ironhack bootcamp in Miami, and I registerd without a doubt. It was a great experience, the onboarding process is really friendly, the teachers are knowledgeable and very friendly, factoring in also teacher assistants that are equally savy, and content is structured to get you job hunting ready. Although Ironhack staff is very willing to help you get a Job through the Job Fair they organize for every cohort, I decided to give freelancing a shot, and after I got graduated on November I started to look for projects. One month later, in late December, I got my first client and now in January I am getting the second one. Working by myself has been my goal and Ironhack prepared me for both routes: employement and freelancing. Totally recommend this experience to anybody who wants to learn code and get ready in relatively short time for the work environment. -

Its a good place to start dipping your toes into the UX-UI / Tech industry. They try to be as organized as possible, which I really like. People that work there are very nice and willing you help you grow and help. About the curriculum, it's good, again from theory to the actual world, there's a gap (like any other school experience) but because I came from a design background I don't feel that I learned as much new stuff. For me it was more of landing that background into the tech industry rather that acquiring a bunch new knowledge. If you have previous design experience, it's limited what you are going to learn. If you don't have any experience related, then definitely you'll learn a lot. -

I joined Ironhack as a Computer Science student at the University of Miami, intending to expand my knowledge in developing web apps but left with much more. The teachers and TAs truly made an effort every day for each and every one of us to succeed. Through paired programming and other projects, I was able to grow teamwork skills that are necessary in today's workplace. Every member of the Ironhack team made me feel at home for those three months and I tell all my friends that are looking for new opportunities to consider joining Ironhack. It was a life-changing experience! -

I decided to do the Ironhack full time UX/UI course soon after leaving my marketing job. I wanted to switch careers the fast way, and was willing to go all in for 3 months. Midway, I started second guessing my decision to go to college... because I felt that I was absorbing information much better than I ever had in school. I fully recommend the course to go-getters that are ready to make a career change and have a good eye for design or an affinity for research. The network you create in this course (by going to school and making friends AND getting involved in the local community) is amazing. Loved the course, the staff, and the friends I got out of it! -

A great learning experience, but so much more than that

Ironhack's Web Development bootcamp was the best learning experience I've ever had. The bootcamp is intensive, very fast paced, but the curriculum is really good and everything is well structured. You learn the theory and then immediately get to put it in practice with several exercises, and if you struggle you can always ask the teacher assistants, who are always there to help. You can also ask your classmates, because another thing that makes this bootcamp so good is the sense of camaraderie that comes from sharing such an intense experience with other people.
Be ready to work HARD and prepare yourself the best you can before starting - the pre-work is super important, take your time with it! While it is aimed at beginners, the curriculum is vast and tough, so the more familiar you are with the subjects, the better you'll do.
At the end of the bootcamp there's a very helpful Career Week, where you get a lot of tips on how to prepare for personal and technical interviews, how to make a good CV, a good cover letter, etc. You then get to meet some companies at the Hiring Fair, which not only makes for great practice but can also lead to real opportunities.
All in all I learned a lot (really, a LOT), made great friends, and would repeat the experience in a heartbeat!

Keep believing in yourself no matter how lost you seem to be.
It's a bootcamp, it's supposed to be hard and challenging. When it ends, you will be glad it was difficult and challenging.

Une très belle expérience
Je suis ravie d'avoir décidé de changer de carrière et de le faire avec Ironhack ! Super profs, super ambiance, super campus, super accompagnement post-bootcamp !
Le contenu du bootcamp est top et allie parfaitement pratique et théorie. On apprend énormément en très peu de temps.
J'ai trouvé un super job après 1 semaine et demie de recherches !
N'hésitez pas !

Easily, one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.

My experience at Ironhack is easily one of the top best decisions I've ever made in my life.
Before Ironhack, I was a Chemical Engineer in Texas. My schedule consisted of leaving my family behind for several weeks at a time while offshore with an 80% chance of mortality. I decided to take a HUGE leap of faith after a year of failed attempts at teaching myself how to code and joined Ironhack's full-time web development program. Ironhack provided me real-world in-demand skills necessary to reach my goal of becoming a Software Engineer. "Thanks, Brito and Alia!!".
The most important skills gained at Ironhack, in my opinion, which has complimented me well in my personal and professional life is Agile Development (Stand-ups, grooming, Demo, planning), TDD (Test-Driven Development), and Interdependence (Group projects, hackathons, Meetups). Like most things, you will get out of it what you put into it.
Ironhack allowed me to switch careers, which is unheard of if you have a family established or done with college. I was able to land a great job as a Software Engineer at one of the top E-commerce companies in the US.
If you like programming already or have been diving headfirst into all of the online material, then Ironhack is going to provide an environment and support network that will help you to thrive and reach your goals. Trust the process, and you are more than welcome to reach out for any questions or support.
