Web Development Bootcamp

Very intensive learning course where you can expect a lot of knowledge to be gained.
This is basically a military service for those who never coded anything before, it will be expected the best from every student, and the end result is just great.
Altough i was very frustrated during the whole course due to new subjects being learned everyday, and the teachers help was very little, i think that for the time we had, you cannot expect anything better.
It is a great learning and socializing experience, where you can expect to make new friends and good teammates. The environment is very chill, and we try not to stress ourselves too much. There was a good companionship feeling troughout all the bootcamp between classmates and it made me stress less as well as giving me motivation to not give up.
I think in general the only thing that could be better would be having at least two more Teaching Assistants, due to the fact that we are to many with too many doubts and sometimes i would have to wait for at least half an hour so i could ask for any help at all. That would cause me to stress in many tough situations and it made my frustration levels go up by a lot.
It was a very good overall experience

Great experience!

We produced three projects during the 9 weeks, and learning React was a huge positive because I can see how wanted it is in the job market currently.
Ironhack has a real 'family' feel to it. All the staff are there to help you and one of the most impressive things I think was the hiring fair. This is something no other bootcamp does (i believe!). We were introduced to many partners and there was a whole week dedicated to interview prep including technical interview help, which will be so helpful for the future.
I learned so much in the space of such a short amount of time. Sometimes, the challenge of the course was overwhelming because it was 9 weeks of intense learning. There were aspects which I found harder, but this is normal and the project weeks really helped to consolidate all the knowledge.
I think if you're prepared to put in the time and effort, you will learn more in this bootcamp than you will with any other resource.
It was a great opportunity and I strongly believe that if you are to go to any bootcamp, you should choose Ironhack Lisbon! -

Career and Life Change @Ironhack
Read more Read less of Laura Valenti's review
I was completely stuck with a career I didn't like and I was looking not only for a new job but for a new life.
Ironhack was one of the best experience in my life and not only gave me all the tools an amazing UX/UI designer should have, but also ensured me with a community of talented people that will be with me forever: your experience with them doesn't finish after the 9 intensive weeks indeed.
The Ironhack community will always be with you and trust me it's amazing feeling supported, especially when you are doing a huge career change as I have done.
At the end of the course you are a UX/UI Designer and I was able to start a new career straight away.
Right now I am writing this review from my laptop and I have a call with my client in 30 mins to discuss the latest amendments on the app I am designing for them (I have decided to freelance and work remotely as much as I can).
Ironhack was the best decision I ever made and I hugely recommend this experience to whoever wants to boost or change his career.(Also big thank you to the amazing Ironhack team Lisbon who is the best I could have asked for :)

From Retail to Software Development
Read more Read less of Ignacio's review
Before Ironhack I was working at a job where I wasn't happy, and I felt like there was no where else for me to go. I felt trapped because of my lack of formal education. Ironhack completely changed my life. The skills I learned while at the bootcamp increased my value as an employee, and gave me the jumpstart I needed to break into the software development field. I had been doing some learning at home before Ironhack, but having someone to teach me and answer my questions made a huge difference. It was also helpful to have the opportunity to work with other students. It showed me how to collaborate on projects, which was a very valuable skill I was not learning at home. After the bootcamp there was a Career Services week which involved interview prep by the career coach at Ironhack as well as a Senior Software Engineer that he brought in. It all ended with a career fair where was able to meet with representatives from 7 different companies who were looking to hire junior developers. It was there that I had the opportunity to speak with a developer and HR manager from a great company that eventually ended up giving me a job offer. Ironhack was everything I expected it to be based off of the research I had done, and I am happy I made the decision to take a chance and leave it all behind in pursuit of a career that would make me happy. I recommend it to anyone who is passionate about technology and wants to make a career change.

Career change from psychosocial rehabilitation counselor to full-time web developer
Read more Read less of Henry Doce's review
I had a bachelor's degree in psychology and was a psychosocial rehabilitation counselor for 3 years before deciding to pursue a career change. I had extremely limited knowledge of coding and felt like Ironhack was going to be a huge risk if it didn't pay off. What I learned after only a few days into the cohort was: 1. most of my peers in my cohort were on the same boat and felt the same way and 2. there are an abundance of extremely enthusiastic and helpful individuals ready to guide you along the way. Although there were times that imposter syndrome was rampant for me (okay maybe a lot of the time, personally), times that I was overwhelmed and hitting a wall, times I felt that I made a huge mistake, I always felt I had the support I needed to break through those walls eventually.
Make no mistake, this bootcamp is not easy (coming from a person with little previous coding experience). Ironhack will not guarantee you a job. But what I can personally guarantee you is that you will reap what you sow. Be ready to humble yourself, bust your ass, be willing to ask for help when you're stuck, come in early, stay late, get some extra learning done on the weekends, yada yada yada. If you can honestly tell yourself you're doing everything you can to learn as much as you can, you are going to succeed. It's important to know this bootcamp is just the beginning of a lifelong journey of learning, do NOT expect to leave her knowing everything you will need to be a master developer. IF YOU PUT IN THE WORK, it WILL give you a great base to build from, a portfolio to show off to potential employers, a fantastic team of people who will be in your corner to help you succeed (even well after the cohort), and a group of friends that become almost like family.

This review comes 5 months after I graduated because I really wanted to let time soak up my emotions and give an authentic review rather than one based off the highs of graduating. So with that being said joining Ironhack for their Full Stack Web Development course has been the best educational investment of my life! Ironhack is education done right. What impressed me the most was the culture and all the positive energy that I got to experience. The staff was friendly and always there to help if I had a question. I loved that my cohort had a sense of commitment. It was competitive but we rooted for each other’s success. I really enjoyed the curriculum and learned a lot through the guided lessons. My instructor and TA’s were all extremely knowledgeable and patient. Although I was not looking for employment, one of my highlights was sitting in on Brito’s meetings. I learned a lot of technical skills through the web dev course but what I am most proud of is learning to work collaboratively with the UX/UI and Data analyst team. This was truly an amazing experience. Thank you Ironhack!

Successfully changed my career

I was looking for a change in my career. I wanted to work in more technical challenging field. But I didnot want to spend my 3-4 years again in a university. So the best option for me was to join Ironhack which would prepare me for a web dev career in a short duration.
After I graduated, I couldnot believe myself that I have graduated as a web developer now(junior though :D) until the day when I finally got a job offer as a Front end developer. Within this short duration, I learnt more than what I could have learned in 1 year, if I had learnt by myself.
And I also appreciate the personalized career services after the bootcamp with constant followups about the job hunt
Thanks Ironhack team

Ironhack is Worth it!

I moved to Miami knowing that I needed to reinvent myself somehow. I learned about Ironhack online and gave it a chance. Best decision I ever made! The community of people that I met is the cream of the crop. Everyone is awesome and insightful. The courses Ironhack offers are engaging and thought-provoking. There was never a dull moment in the entire Bootcamp and It prepared me very well to acquire a job in UX/UI. You learn a lot in a short period of time and once it's over, the career couch (Brito) helps you even further! He makes sure you are a success story. Ironhack is how education should be. They teach you the craft, the theory and how to succeed in the job market. What else can you ask for?

I attended Ironhack August 2019 and graduated in October 2019. The 9 week course is intense. If you commit those 9 weeks to the process you will get the returns you want. After you have the pleasure of working along side Brito. He will break down doors to get you in the building. Overall the process is diffucult and sometimes you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel but you have to keep going. Once the offer letters from companies start coming in, you realize the process works.

Great Bootcamp That Offers Community Learning
Read more Read less of Qiwei Lin's review
I had began learning web development on my own before joining Ironhack. However, it was easy to get off sidetracked when you're learning by yourself, and that was why I considered attending Ironhack. However, even though I began the course with a skeptical mindset, attending Ironhack was one of the best decision I have made. Ironhack has a great curriculum designed to make sure that you stay on track and expose you to all topics essential to Full Stack Web Development.
In addition to the great structure provided by the curriculum, the welcoming community and awesome learning environment I found at Ironhack really helped me preserve through the initial hurdle I experienced when learning the content. This was made possible by a classroom full of wonderful classmates who were equally driven to find success and the staffs who worked feverishly behind the scences so that we can focus on our studies in the best possible environment.
Most importantly, one of the best part of the bootcamp is the career services. Brito, the Outcomes Manager at Ironhack, is a wonderful resource for finding your first tech job in SoFL. He works hand-in-hand with the curriculum so that you can have a presentable portfolio and resume when you're ready to apply for your first job and he is also dedicated to help you find the right opprotunities when the career fair rolls around right after graduation. I know from personal experience that the career fair is a great place to find job placement and would highly recommend everyone to participate.

For the ones that is looking to make a change in your career, I think this UX/UI bootcamp is the best option. It's only 8 weeks and the knowledge gained in this course is really impressive. Even if you don't have any experience in this field, with the course I believe that you will be capable to get in the market right after your graduation. They have amazing teachers and teacher assistants to help you through the projects, and also a awesome job support that helps you learn how to behave and get confidence in yourself to get in the best companies.

When I started the Bootcamp I knew almost nothing about development. The course turned me into a confident Full-Stack Developer, with strong technical skills. I can't recommend better this experience.

Although I come from a technology background and believed that I would not learn that many new things, it surprised me with how the knowledge I already had was aimed by the school towards the market and the new content, very easily adopted, all due to how the curriculum, staff, and space is organized.
Not only that, you have great extras that develop your soft-skills alongside the main curriculum that is focused on hard-skills. One of these extras that is worth mentioning is the career services, that not only help guide you towards an easier hiring week but also towards any other professional encounter you have, be it now or in the future.
Life-changing experience, recommend it for anyone interested. -

Ironhack's UX UI bootcamp was the most intense course I've ever taken in my life, and the one with the best results. Besides giving me all the basis to start the ux life, it changed my way of thinking and opened my mind to many subjects. I learned a lot, and recommend the course to anyone who thinks about changing areas and need a stimulus, encouragement and understanding that it is possible to do this.

At first, I was a bit insecure about the fast learning skills needed for the bootcamp, but it is possible and the team gave me all the support I needed.
The course's content is great, very consistent with the job market and they give you the space to dive into the subjects you are most interested in and find which area you want to pursue. The projects are great to test our learning and put into practice the theory explained on the classes, and can be used on a portfolio after. -

I did the Data Analytics bootcamp in Brazil and highly recommend it. During the course we see a little of everything. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it. I've never learned so much in such a short time! If you want to switch your career and learn how to code, this course is for you.

Ironhack was a great experience: sharing about UI/UX with classmates and having the Teacher and TAs supporting us. It also feels a very open environment to talk about anything we need. The encouragement of having a community is great because after we graduated I'm still in contact with the rest of the Ironhackers.
It's a lot of work, but it's worth it. The program also helps to understand the german job market, what is expected from you, and how can you insert yourself in it. Carrier Support is very valuable. Staff is always willing to help you to have the best experience.

I attended the 9-week web development program at Ironhacks Miami campus. Two and a half weeks after graduation I accepted my first job offer as a full-time web developer; straight out of the hiring fair organized by the outcomes manager Daniel Brito. During the 9-week cohort, I felt more than prepared for an entry to mid-level job after receiving so many hours of hands-on training. My instructors Niko Tzikas, and Nick Borbes were both gifted teachers and always available if I ever got stuck, as well as all the amazing TA's. My time at Ironhack was an amazing experience and met great people who will be long-time friends and also my network in my professional career.

I've meet Ironhack São Paulo in an open event about UX and since then I knew I would be back as a student. The whole experience — since pre-work until the final project and carreer services — were totally imersive and hands-on! If you're interested in enrolling a technology program, don't think twice... This bootcamp will change your life.

Joining Ironhack was one of the best decisions I ever made. I met great people, learned extremely valuable skills, and found a community that I will always be a part of.
I am very grateful to all Ironhack teachers. They are the best instructors I have. They not only provide theory and exercises and then leave you in the dark, their method is well structured to really get rid of the pedagogical friction and provide an ideal experience. They have this ability to understand that each of us is a different student and meets the needs of each student.
I haven't finished bootcamp yet, but I've started working as a developer and it's been very important for my professional development. -

Best choice of my life
Read more Read less of Alexandre Montesso Bonomi's review
I'll be totally sincere: back in March, when I decided to quit my job and start coding again, the "bootcamp" idea seemed to me as "too much of a promise". To teach someone how to code from scratch in 9 weeks? "Impossible! Or it will be extremely superficial." - I though. I had a background of a 3-year technical programming course and 12 years of coding logic (and even though I knew the basics of programming).
I couldn't be more wrong.The first 3 days I was learning what I already knew (with some new twists that didn't exist when I learned the first time). No surprises and still the same "this will be superficial" thought. From day 4 to the end of the course, I've never learned SO MUCH in so little time. And I'm not exaggerating.
Ironhack teaches you not just how to do something specific, but how to think about the problems you have and how to solve them (with what you know or how to search for the answer you need).
It may seem that 9 weeks are too little for learning how to code. But I prefer to think that It's OVER 500 HOURS of course (240h of pure classes, +/-120h of extra-class content and 180h of your own projects - where you'll really learn everything you saw with 'sweat and blood'). That's way over coding you'll see in a Computer Science's bachelor semester (or even a year).I've been even more surprised to see my colleagues (that had NO programming background) to became capable full stack developers and all of them to be working within 2 months after the end of the course.
Ironhack was, easily, the best choice of my life. -

My experience at Ironhack has been amazing, in recent months I have become someone else, I feel more capable of developing anything and accepting any challenge. The intensity of the course causes me to study more and more and motivates me to be a better version of myself. The support of the teachers is very important and very helpful, I could not fail to mention the support of colleagues also that in an always harmonious environment help to meet the challenges. The school prepares the student in every way, from technical training to background as a market view, how to present for a job interview, how to get your professional image, how to present projects, how to be a good professional. As I mentioned I feel like a better professional and person after I started studying at Ironhack

You can learn a lot studying in the data analytics Ironhack course. You will learn from the basics(Python, SQL, Github, Pandas) to more advanceds subjects like machine learning, predictive analysis and so on. We had teacher with a lot of experience that shared her knowledge and cases with us making it easier to comprehend when and how to use what we learned. The teacher assistants would always be there for us, trying their best to explains things we didnt understand and planning complementary classes to help us. Ironhack was a friendly place where there was a lot of diversity in genre and profiles. I can only have good memories from there. -

The Ironhack bootcamp is very intensive, but the school itself makes the process as easy as possible for the student.
The school has a modern campus and free beer on Fridays , that makes are very easy going environment, where um can take a nap when you are crazy stressed out or just hangout and talk to some cool people.
The bootcamp as said is pretty intensive, but the TAs (teacher assistants) are always there to help you even when your crisis is emotional. Haha
And the school brings you pretty close to the market, every week there is talks with people working in the area, that helps you prepare even more to what is coming!
If you want pretty fast changes career wise and are willing to work like crazy, I totally recommend the ironhack bootcamp.

Booting was a unique, challenging and scary experience at the same time. I learned a lot and something very important was the people I met during that time.
The curriculum of the school is very complete and didactic, with practical application of what is studied day by day. helping to solidify what has been learned.
The teaching method is incredible as teachers, assistant teachers and staff.
The structure of the school is great with everything designed for the comfort and study of its users.
Ironhack gave me the opportunity to enter a work area that I discarded in the past, PROGRAMMING. Now I see how much I like it and better yet Ironhack gave me the opportunity to pass that knowledge learned to other people.
Best of all, they gave me the opportunity to have my first job in Brazil

We learn, in a clear way, create and deploy a server from scratch, build an entire application using a modern tech-stack always supported by a lead teacher and teaching assistants.
We had all support and help to increment our curriculum along the course and a hiring week to help us to find a new collocation in job market. -

Coming from a background in electrical engineering, I have always wanted to learn code. Before joining Ironhack, I tried to learn it myself by completing online courses a few times, but each time I didn't have a clear direction of how to put all things that I've learned together...
Ironhack has been by far the most intensive and efficient training I ever followed!
It may seem overwhelming at the beginning but trust me they will provide you with the tools for your success!
The experiences like pair-programming, helped me to develop my problem-solving and communication skills, and flashcards helped me to grab these key concepts in a short intense period. The most amazing thing that I truly value during my time in Ironhack was meeting so many like-minded people.
After 24 weeks of this bootcamp, I can say that I'm able to make a web app by myself and had enough confidence to keep on learning. :) -

It really is a lot of content and so at first I thought of giving up, but besides teaching with perfection and mastery, putting you to practice how you will work day by day, they still helped me to believe it was possible, Professor Henrique Mendes and Program Manager Manuella Melo gave me a lot of help and today I am sure that it was very worth having continued the course, learned a lot and know how to learn even more.

“Great School with great documentation”
I currently finishing the Web/Dev bootcamp in São Paulo and I'm pretty satisfied with the course methodology, especially the documentation for the whole course.
For the ones who want to have a solid foundation to start coding professionally, that's a great choice as they do prepare the students for the job market.
