In my opinion, the content of the full-time web dev course has an unbelievable deepness and strength of its knowledge.
The focus of the course is not only based on theory but particularly on the importance of practicing exercises individually or as a team every single day.
During the course, we have been fully embraced by all employees, while having constant support from our teachers and their assistants as well.
Last but not least, we too had at our disposal a stunning enviroment to ensure we could all learn and build a "code family". -

Amazing learning experience
I'm doing my final project in UX/UI Fulltime bootcamp at Ironhack and I had the best learning experience ever!
The methodology applied is amazing, the structure of the campus (in São Paulo), my professor and everybody working there are very competent.
Before my decision for Ironhack I was considering another bootcamp, but the atmosphere + material were fundamental to me. -

Everything I always wanted to learn about data
I had been looking for a Data Analytics Bootcamp for a while when I knew Ironhack. The syllabus contains everything I wanted to learn: not that beginner level manipulating data, not that advanced level without basics principles of Python. It's a long Bootcamp in my opinion (almost 7 months in a part-time program), but we still can have fun and feel the improvement of our skills in each class.

UX/UI Design

I choose to enroll in IronHack UX/UI Design Bootcamp after extensive research about UX bootcamps.
The investment seems to be high at the beginning, but worth every penny. The time we spend exchanging knowledge and learning from the mentors are super valuable and rich.
The Bootcamp is divided in 3 parts (3 weeks each) the first part is User Experience, and for me, it was the hardest one, it's a LOT of content to assimilate and a lot o dynamics to understand each part. The second part is the UI part, and it was very fun but I wish we had more time to work on it. The last part is the code part and the final project and this time I wish I had more time outside of the Bootcamp to study HTML and CSS, it was too fast, but the content was given in a proper way.
The projects that I have done during the Bootcamp on IronHack showed that I evolved a lot and I feel prepared to search for jobs.
As a plus, I had a great experience working on groups and presenting my projects in front of the class and the school, made my pitch and explanation of projects much better! -

Best learning experience ever
Amazing! Definitely the biggest learning weeks I've had. The whole team is committed to 9 week learning, the school material is excellent, the curriculum and hands-on activities guide the learning very well and, studying at Ironhack, I saw that it is totally possible to learn something new and put it into practice on personal projects.

I have a Chemical Engineering bachelor degree, but ever since I graduated I have been working with technology and learned some about DB, SQL and Python. I wanted to gather further knowledge on these subjects and realised that maybe, working with data was the thing for me, so I did some research on courses and Ironhack caught my attention.
After reading some reviews about the school and the course itself, I decided to give it a try. I admit it's been a challenge to keep up the studies part-time with working an 8-hour shift during the day, but it's been rewarding so far.
There are tons of tasks to do, but I think it is the fastest and most effective way to absorb the condensed content of the lectures.
In my opinion, the best experience have been getting to know people who already work with data, and learning about real world application of what we are learning. It's also interesting that my classmates have so many different backgrounds, so it's been a great opportunity to make new connections that I wouldn't have made otherwise.

Amazing Experience
Honestly don't have any cons regarding the course. It was an amazing experience, I learned so much and it translated immediately to my work, especially considering I got a promotion due in large part to this course. My technical knowledge got to a level that I didn't think I would be able to achieve.

Amazing Experience

I'm a recently graduated from Ironhack - Lisbon. It was a great challenging experience, the things necessaries to fulfill the course is to trust on yourself, but the real fuel to do it was the commitment shown by Jose Carneiro, Guilherme Cardoso, and Sonia Meller, to their students without the help of them I could leave the bootcamp since the 1st week, I'm very grateful for their effort. Of course, I cannot leave out Luis Santos with his great preparation and tips for CV and jobs interview and the rest of the staff that they help us saying words of support to hang in there along the bootcamp and provide a lot of help during the hiring fair days Goncalo Regalado, Alvaro Gonzalez, Munique Martins and Carmen Ortega. A very amazing experience thanks to these amazing people.

It literally changed my life

Ok, let's start. I waited a year before I reviewed IH because I did not want my review to be biased. I haven't had contact any with the people at IH so I can give you the closest thing to a objective opinion out there.
Here it comes:
Ironhack is easily the best choice of my life, no questions asked. Without any kind of background in technology, just hard work, the curriculum and help provided by the Ironhack staff I was able to find a job before I even finished the bootcamp.
So if you want to know if I think you should do Ironhack: the answer is YES.
That's all. Don't read the rest unless you want to read my personal experience.
Now I will write what I think about each part of Ironhack:
Curriculum: Look, this is why you are here, this is what you like, this is what you enjoy doing. You will have classes imparted by a teacher where you will have fun from start to finish, it might be rough, it might be tough but its always fun. I went by this curriculum and it actually help me understand coding and gave me great foundations on how to study and learn new technologies. I still go about learning new technologies the same way I did at Ironhack. If you follow this curriculum(understanding it, reading it before class and then solving every doubt you have during classes) and finish EVERY part of it(even the "extras") you will leave Ironhack knowing enough to get hired anywhere.
Instructors: My teacher was Nick Borbe, my TAs were Marcos Palacios and Manuel Cabrera. Everyone was great, super helpful and knowledgeable. If at any point they did not know the answer to something you asked they would look into it and comeback with the answer. Great people all around.
Job Assistance: Ironhack is the best, and that's in no small part thanks to Daniel Brito, this guy will find you a job. He won't hold your hand during the process but if he sees you putting in 200% he will put in 300%. Make use of him, ask him questions, show him you are interested and he will help you.
Overall: As with any other course or any type of education process you will get back what you put in. If this is really what you want I can't think of a better place to learn the basics of coding/programming/web develpment than at Ironhack. They helped me change my life for the better, I'm finally happy with what I do and actually miss work when I'm on vacation. All of this started with Ironhack and I will never forget it.
If you are still undecided I invite you to add me on linkedin and ask me any question about Ironhack and my experience there, I'll be more than happy to answer.

The best decision I’ve ever made.

Ironhack is a GAME CHANGER!
I live in Orlando, FL and there's no boot camps nearby, so I had a large variety of choices. After doing a ton of research, I chose Ironhack Miami based on reviews, application interviews, and job placement rates. I did the full time UX/UI course.
I truly believe I made the best choice. The teachers are so caring and knowledgeable, and I can't even believe how much I've learned in ten weeks. The network of alumni between the ten (nine? idk) global campuses is great – Ironhackers are always there for Ironhackers. It makes getting help, finding a mentor, and networking for jobs so much easier.Our career outcomes guy is THE MAN. He is super amazing in giving us all the tools we need to find a career we love.
I recommend Ironhack a thousand times over. I keep trying to make my friends come so they can have the same great experience that I did. LOL.

An intensive and inspiring experience! We went through issues with the assigned teacher from the machine learning module (it might be because we were the first Data Analytics Bootcamp in Mexico City), but Ironhack handled it. We got a new brilliant teacher that has statistical and math knowledge, but most importantly, he had the interest to teach and boost our learning.
The best part was the people and connexions you make throughout a full-time Bootcamp.

Ironhack Miami was the best academic decision I've ever made. I graduated from USF with a bachelors in Chemistry and the job outlook wasn't fantastic. After having previous experience with web design I decided to attend and after 9 weeks of hard work I managed to graduate the bootcamp and even land a job at the hiring fair thanks to Brito! You really can't go wrong with this school -- relevant tech stack, professional development, awesome instructors/staff, and even beer on tap. You will not regret this decision! At the end of the day you will get out exactly what you put in.

Ironhack change my life !
Read more Read less of Sergui's review
I remember when I emigrated here to the US, and I was looking for a place to help me accelerate my professional career. Ironhack seemed like an excellent decision because I had heard of them, and had recommendations from students who already finished that Bootcamp. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to be one of the winners of a full scholarship at Ironhack. I felt amazing and closer to where I wanted to go.
Ironhack helped me acquire skills for this new digital economy, how to build my network, work as a team and with deadlines, and how to use these latest technologies to undertake your projects. All the classes we attend are very practical with real-world challenges and that you are experienced to go from a beginner to advanced level and acquire that way of solving problems thinking as a programmer.
The Ironhack team is amazing, they will be your mentors and friends who will guide you and always look for your best. They are very professional and fun. Once you have completed Bootcamp, the team organizes a Hiring Fair to help you get a job and train you for the world of work. The experience is very challenging and with a lot opportunities , that definitely it will help you succeed.
Finally, having concluded with Ironhack, I find myself working thanks to their support, and my efforts. The whole experience I lived with them was like an adventure, the classrooms are very comfortable and focused on the student learning, the different places to work in their building fit into your way of working, if you want to work in silence, there are places for it, if you need to work with a team you'll find the right spot, and the snacks they have to help the students to be very comfortable and healthy.
I recommend 100% and do not doubt that it will be a place to empower your lives!

Thanks to the support of two excellent teachers, one focused on Python and the other focused on ML, as well as 3 more specialists in the field who in all classes knew how to answer all my questions, not only could I conclude the Bootcamp but we also acquired the practice and The knowledge necessary to start in this field of data analysis, we have an excellent environment and at all times we have direct communication with the entire Ironhack Mexico team.
During the Bootcamp course we had a first ML teacher who did not have the necessary skills, so we requested a new teacher and the Ironhack team sent us an excellent machine learning teacher, which was Yonatan Rodriguez Alvarez, which I highly recommend; and with respect to the previous teacher, don't worry because he doesn't teach on campus anymore.

The data analytics course at Ironhack Mexico is a good one, have a lot of support from the staff and the community and graduates are very helpful, I really recommend the course if you like hard work and an intensive way of learning, not recommended if you can't commit to an activity for a long period of time.

I joined Ironhack because I wanted to change my life, and learn skills that would make me competitive and were sought after in this ever changing job market. After being abroad for multiple years, I decided to return to Portugal, my home country, to start anew and review my choices - here was my first contact with Ironhack. Since the get go, it was a great experience - from the first contact to get more information to the tests to get in, to information and to personalized help throughout the whole bootcamp, they kept tabs on me an made sure my worries were addressed and I got the support I needed. I got my first job in the field within 1 month after finishing the bootcamp, but between finishing and until that first contract they helped us with interview processes and questions, moral support and any queries we might have, any time I needed. More than just a bootcamp, they keep you involved long after you finish, and you create a network of resources, colleagues and - most importantly - friends in the field, who understand your struggle. I advise anyone to join Ironhack - 2 of my best friends are starting in January, and my husband is highly considering it!! From Munique, to Gonçalo, to Álvaro to Luis, the teachers, the TAs (if you get Guilherme and Carla in Web Dev or Angela in UX/UI you'll see what I mean!) you will have the best team that worries about you and is there for anything you need. -

Web Dev Bootcamp

I attended Lisbon's full time web dev bootcamp and couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. The bootcamp is suitable for students with a wide range of levels and backgrounds, so don't be afraid to join if you don't have any prior experience either don't think it will not be challenging if you already come from a tech background. The contents of the lessons concern the market trends - being updated regularly - and professional procedures, a lot of focus in good code practices as well. Also, there was a very good career support providing personalized mentoring to help the students to integrate the job market. The bootcamp ends with a hiring fair (optional) with partner companies, after a week of preparation for interviews, making a CV, improving linkedin profile and training for technical interviews. There is also the opportunity to attend the hiring fair in any Ironhack campus all over the world, opening doors for international careers. The environment is very supportive and the staff was the most pacient and helpful I could have asked for.

Hello there,
I enrolled in Ironhack's UX/UI Bootcamp knowing very little about UX/UI and the Ironhack team helped me to transition in my career change (coming in with a marketing, business admin, and graphic design background) and created a wonderful family-oriented environment where I felt most welcome and inspired to learn. I will always be grateful for everything I learned, the memories created, friends made, and the whole experience. In 9 weeks you'll complete a number of different projects for your portfolio. You'll experience sleep deprivation, mental exhaustion, grouchy mood swings, weight loss (from skipped meals), and Miami traffic, but, all of it will be worth it in the end. I wished we spent more time doing UI and coding versus mostly UX. I really valued the one-on-one training sessions even though they were short. They'll supply you with an immense amount of outside resources and information.
The instructors and TAs are knowledgable, understanding, and flexible. God Bless Snezana Dragusev. Once you graduate you'll receive job placement assistance from Daniel Brito. He's phenomenal and a great resource. University career counselors' can use some training from him and follow his example.
You won't regret joining. Happy designing and coding!

Magnificent Experience on my journey to becoming an experience designer!

Completing my Bootcamp with Ironhack was a great accomplishment for me, the 9 weeks that I signed up for were nothing in comparison to what I accomplished at the end of the course. I walked into Ironhack hopeful, excited and most of all terrified of the workload. I graduated after a couple of all-nighters and many many hours of blood, sweat, and beers. I think my favorite part of the experience was the culture that Ironhack creates during its courses and the bonds that I made with both the students and the staff. I learned a lot about UX / UI but more importantly, I learned a lot about humans, their mental models and most fo all my self. I highly recommend the Bootcamp because it has the tools and network necessary to enter the Tech Industry and flourish!

Number one web dev bootcamp

Hi there, I know that it is a big decision and commitment to join a full time course of coding bootcamp from time, effort and money perspective. You possibly have done your research and read all this "Is it worth it to go through coding bootcamp" kind of articles. As a recent graduate of Ironhack full-time web development course I'm here to tell you to do it. It is totally worth it and will affect your life in a positive way. There is one thing that all this unsure or negative bootcamp reviews have in common - they all are by software engineers and developers. Think about it. The person attended the top bootcamp - and then he/she is a developer. Full stop. If you putt in the effort, put in the hours and do what they tell you to do, learn what they offer you to learn then this will be your story. Whatever background you come from - it is doable to step into the fascinating world of technology. I know it because I'm telling my own story. I went through full stack web dev course and learned MongoDB, ExpressJS, ReactJS, NodeJS, HTML, CSS and the list goes on and on. But most important I've learned that I can do it. I've learned how to think and how to approach the technical challenge that I'm facing. I got the whole lot of new connections, relevant to the field as well. The IronHack Miami staff is all you can ask for. Nobody here looks at titles and everybody are here to help in any way they can. Instructor Nick Borbe is no less the programming guru, calm, knowledgeable and with the rare ability to talk simple about complicated concepts. TA's Nick, Marcos, Mike are always, I mean always there from morning until late at night to review your code and to ensure that your road to become a developer is a smooth one. People at Ironhack Miami know and love their craft and it is of a great value. Special gratitude goes to Daniel Brito, Digital Talent & Business Development Manager. He will push you, coach you, challenge you, advice you and do it all over again until you find your new work place. He will put you in the room with right people to present yourself for the job that is not even on the market. And you will get it, because you will know exactly what to do and how to do it. Let me tell you, in the tech field of Miami if you don't know Brito and he doesn't know you - you are not on the map. And after Ironhack you will be on the map. I’ve just received an offer from the company that I wouldn't even dare to talk to before Ironhack and that is just a beginning. So if you still in doubt – give them a call, quit doing what you're doing, join Ironhack Miami and Happy Coding!!!

A most impressive bootcamp

Ironhack was a great experience, I have always had a passion for web development and through the course, I was able to take my skills to a new level. I highly recommend the boot camp to anyone who wants to make a career change.
The facilities are extremely nice and very accommodating, and the management team does a great job keeping the place clean and looking great. While in class you will have to work very hard, there will be long days and long nights, but nothing worth doing is ever easy. The instructors and the TA’s are extremely helpful and accommodating they will sit down with you and help you get through any issue you have with your code.
Once you graduate you will get job placement assistance from Brito, remember the name he is kind of a legend. Through his efforts, Ironhack graduates participate in a hiring fair filled with companies looking to hire new talent, follow his lead and do as he says and your chances of landing the life-changing job will skyrocket.
It won’t be easy but it will be worth it, and the entire Ironhack team will be there to help you along the way.

Great Experience

Ironhack proved to be a really good move for me. I was a career changer from finance, and wasn't sure what to expect going in. When you start, you are thrown into the mix of something completely foreign to you. But that's a good thing.
While the first two weeks were extremely hard to adapt, it seemed to get easier over time. Mostly because you start to build a foundation of skills and understanding that compound and reinforce the rest of the new things you learn. Education 10/10.
Career is probably the strongest area that Ironhack has, at least in Miami the support is phenomenal. Brito is a good reason to attend Ironhack on his own. Becoming a developer with no work experience is hard, no way around it. But the techniques and direct connections that he brings to the table are world class. Career assitance 10/10.
That brings us to why you would attend a bootcamp in the first place, after all everything taught here is available online. Community is everything. So many people attempt to go down this road and fail, not because they can't do it, but because they aren't held accountable. Going to Ironhack will give you that push to do what you have to do and learn much more quickly than you would on your own. Community 10/10.
Good luck!

Career Changer

Having gone to Ironhack with -1 experience in web development, I learned all the necessary skills to become a software developer and change my career into technology. This includes the most important skill which is to learn how to "learn" new material as technology advances.
I must thank the staff for being extremely patient with my lack of experience and transitioning me into a working professional in the tech industry. The classroom environment was very accommodating, comfortable, and intimate where you build relationships with the instructors and assistants, including your classmates. Everyone helped each other during and after classes. Towards the end of the cohort, Ironhack became more of a family to me and will forever be a part of the Ironhack family.
Towards the end of the bootcamp, Ironhack provides career services and a career week/hiring fair that prepares students to deal with real companies that are looking to hire candidates. This is very useful in my experience to get better prepared to land a job. Thanks to Ironhack and its staff, I landed my first tech job straight out of the bootcamp during the career week!
In summary, if I can do it, so can you!

If you're a person looking to get into the world of tech, then Ironhack is for you. My time at Ironhack provided me with the right instructors, resources and networking opportunities.
There are two things I really took away from this bootcamp:
1) Ironhack taught me how to learn. It provided me with the ability to actually keep up with technical terms and made learning new things post camp a lot more efficient.
2) Their career services are a real confidence booster. We tend to fall victim to imposter syndrome in this field, but Ironhack really does a great job in keeping their students grounded and focused in reaching our goals.
I fortunately have now landed a job and can honestly say that our career services brought me that opportunity. Ironhack really is an effective coding bootcamp.

I have always had a passion for developing and creating applications. I had some front-end experience under my belt, but I never understood how to build a scalable full-stack application before joining Ironhack. When I graduated from Ironhack, my foundation was set. I now feel like I can learn anything when it comes to web development.
If you are thinking about Ironhack, I suggest you take it 100%. But let me tell you, it will not be easy. You have to put in long days and even nights to keep up with the rapid pace of the material. You get back what you put into the course.
For career placement, Brito does an amazing job helping you through the course to get everything you need to graduate and get rolling fast into the real world. He will guide you every step of the way until you land that first job offer. 10/10 if you're coming in and want a job right after graduating.

UX/UI Full-Time BCN Review

Positives:
-Project focused. In 9 weeks we have done a great number of projects. Very little theory and a lot of practice.
-Broad Programme. We have covered a lot of different topics, starting with Design Thinking, finishing with Information Architecture and animations.
-Great Space. The campus is really cool with lots of places to work from and you do feel like the place belongs to students.
Negatives:
-Minimal Teaching. I really wish there were more explanations and showcase good examples. I felt like 1.5hrs of teaching every other day was not enough. Most of the stuff we had to learn ourselves, so not sure what I've €7,500 paid for.
-My UI skills have not improved. Even though, UI is only a part of the UX process I do believe that we spent very little time on it. In total maybe around 5 hrs was spent on teaching UI concepts, definitely not enough to grow your knowledge/skills.
-Unprofessional TAs . From week 3-4 the attitude of some of the TAs towards the students was just unacceptable. Some members of IronHack stuff publicly made offensive comments about our class, which is just atrocious.
Overall:
-Would not recommend, this experience was not worth this large sum of money. You better of reading some UX case studies online and try to replicate their process applying to your own ideas. The outcome in terms of knowledge and portfolio case studies would probably be higher than after this course.

A good and intensive experience

The Bootcamp at Ironhack was my first contact with code and it was a good and intensive experience!
In 9 weeks of bootcamp we went through a lot of concepts and each of us experience a differente time of adaptation to develop our mental skills in order to understand how to code. So some people can learn faster than others and of course, the effort you put into will have a big impact on your progress.
It is focused on practical labs everyday and we develop curriculum by doing three big projects.
Despite being a Full-stack course I think that we'll be more prepared to be a Front-end developer.By the end of the bootcamp we had a great hiring fair organized by Ironhack, where we met 12 amazing companies in two days.
Before the fair we have a preparation for interview questions, technical challenges, and we work on our attitude, pitch and cv to better face the companies.One of this companies made me an offer which I was happy to accepted!

Best investment.
I studied computer science for two years then I dropped out and moved to Miami. I thought I knew how to code, but it turned out I only knew the basics of the basics.
I learned a lot in 9 weeks, from coding and problem solving to job hunting.
Now I am working as a Junior Software Engineer, creating things from scratch for real people to use. All that after two weeks from graduating.

Full-Time UX/UI Design Bootcamp
Read more Read less of Alvaro Gil's review
My time at Ironhack was tough. I was challenged and brought to the brink of mental exhaustion over the 9-week period. However, throughout that time, I learned a lot about UX/UI Design as well as myself. I came in expecting to learn mostly about UI Design and Front-End Development, but the course is heavily focused on UX Design (if you don't know the difference I suggest you look it up). In addition to this, I would say that those looking for a quick fix (and this is true of all bootcamps), expecting to come in and leave an all-knowing master, are in for a surprise. What I will say is that you will undoubtedly learn a lot and enough to land a job as a Junior UX/UI Designer, but what you get out of the course is solely based on how much effort you put in. Thankfully for me, a nervous interviewer, there was also a career services portion once I completed the course, which helped me tremendously in providing practice for interviews and working on my softskills, as well as, meeting a handlful of companies during the hiring fair. On another note, the facilities at the Miami campus are nice (except the uncomfortable chairs in the UX/UI classroom), and the staff is friendly and treats you like family. Overall, despite the rough ride, I received 4 job offers total and the risk I took in quitting my job and joining Ironhack paid off.

One of the best decisions I've ever made!
Read more Read less of Monroe Getz's review
I couldn't be happier with my experience at Ironhack. From start to finish it was a truly awesome experience!
The workload is extreme and the material challenging but it is a highly rewarding experience were you are rewarded for pushing yourself. Thankfully the atmosphere is extremely friendly with amenities galore to make yourself more comfortable. I spent most of the course working outside on the beautiful rooftop astroturf patio.
My instructor Nico was a very committed teacher who would personally invest in any problems you were working on, help you realize your vision and work with you to find a solution. Anything answers he didn't have, he knew how to find them! In general Nico was great person who was easy talk to and made you feel comfortable throughout the learning process.
The curriculum itself is well thought-out and constantly changing. You really feel you are learning whatever technology is the most relevant. It was a frequent topic of conversation how many of us who went to college (even some Computer Science majors) couldn't believe how much more we were learning in such a short time compared to our drawn out struggles with traditional universities. Struggles that ultimately left us feeling unprepared for the real world...and robbed!
Ironhack attracts plenty of motivated people who are a pleasure to be in class with. The sense of camaraderie is strong and It feels good to be in deep with the your fellow classmates. We all worked hard together, helped each other out and bonded over struggling with the same difficult sections.
Thankfully Ironhack was good about making sure there are some unwinding opportunities. Lisa and Jess did an excellent job of keeping the energy up and organizing much needed stress relief moments that gave everyone an opportunity to unplug, eat some pizza and drink a little beer (or kombucha).
Finally Brito is there to make sure we stayed focused on the reason most of us joined the course: To get jobs! Brito helped us prioritize what's important in terms of our future careers. He has tons of extremely useful experience in terms of what companies are looking for when hiring talent. He makes us looks good and gives us pro tips on building out resumes and our Linkedins.
Brito also does an excellent job bringing in tech veterans to share their knowledge with us. We've had speakers talk to us about the hiring process, the tech world, problems we may face, and even set up mock technical and soft skill interviews. If you have a specific interest in something in particular Brito will connect you with someone from his MASSIVE and beautifully organized list of tech contacts and Ironhack alum. Brito works very hard and is constantly finding new opportunities for graduates to pursue.
Prior to Ironhack I was exhausting myself working as a cook and making next to nothing. As someone who is now happily working as a web developer, signing up for Ironhack was one of the smartest moves I've ever made. It feels great to finally have a career with independence, where my intelligence is rewarded and my employer can see the value I provide daily. For anyone on the fence, I really couldn't recommend Ironhack any stronger. It's worth it.

My experience at Ironhack was intense, with thankfully more ups then downs, and I leave confident that I'm ready to start as a Junior Web Developer in the market.
The first weeks were certainly very overwhelming for me, who never seen nothing regarding code until starting to study the "pre-work" that we had, weeks before the Bootcamp even started. The team informed us about the intensity and the challenges we would face, and they were very right! However, they were always following us to let us know we were not alone.
The idea to have projects at the end of every module is great to solidify our knowledge and give us confidence that we can built awesome stuff, as well as start working on our portfolio and have something to tell recruiters when the time comes.
The teachers were very supportive and pushed us a lot during classes, in a way we had to face every challenge ahead of us, but knowing that we would have great people to support us.
One of the main focus of the Bootcamp is to get us ready for the market. We had several different workshops about building our CVs and LinkedIn profiles, practising for regular and technical interviews and great opportunities to visit companies and see offices and developer teams in action. It is something really interesting that hyped us to get out there and start applying for jobs!
Overall, those were 10 weeks that changed my life. It changed my way of facing problems, working in teams, dealing with pressure, organise myself and gave me many tools to work as a web developer, with technologies and languages that are up to date with what the market asks.
I would definitively recommend this experience for those who are ready to invest time and effort to change their careers and get into this world.

Ironhack Lisbon Web Dev - Great experience!

The Ironhack Bootcamp was one of the wisest choices I have made. It was super intense and I was dead beat when it was over but it WAS worth it.
I recommend it to someone who is a career changer, just like me. Since Lisbon is a new Ironhack campus, they are learning by doing(as we are) and we were the first Bootcamp for Web Development.
We finished the Bootcamp with three projects we can show around to employers and after a hiring fair which I believe is one of the strongest points of Ironhack, compared to other Bootcamps I've heard about. THey are really committed and they stay on top of the students even after the Bootcamp is over to make sure everyone is already on the way t a life as a developer!
I recommend the staff, which is amazing and always worried about getting the most out of the students and the program. They are caring and listen to our worries. They really put their hearts into it.
For a more complete feedback of my experience I wrote a couple of medium articles, on how were the first weeks and some of the projects:

Best web dev bootcamp in Lisbon

Being a former journalist, I made a long research before deciding to attend the first web dev bootcamp of Ironhack in Lisbon in March 2019. Making a career change is a complex move and I wanted to be sure that I was choosing the best course to help me get where I wanted professionally. Now that I have graduated, I can say with absolute certainty that Ironhack was the best choice I could've made. I had great teachers and amazing fellow students, awesome support from the Ironhack crew and the career services team, that is such an important part of the bootcamp that I cannot stress enough how important it was for me to know it existed before making my final choice to do this bootcamp with Ironhack. The curriculum they offer is definitely the best among the bootcamps in Portugal. If you're searching for a life-changing experience, learning by doing and entering the job market knowing that you have learned the best and most up-to-date technologies, I highly recommend investing your time and money in this bootcamp.

Rewarding Experience

The Web Development bootcamp at Ironhack is a very challenging yet rewarding program. I had some professional experience with front-end development before Ironhack, but was completely unfamiliar with the MERN stack. Our instructor, Niko, did a great job during the 9 weeks; answering all of our questions and helping us when we got stuck. The course is very hands-on and project oriented. You start with basic HTML/CSS and then move on to Express.js and React.js. Students build a portfolio which they later showcase to potential employers.
Once you graduate, Ironhack helps you find a job with their Career Services program. Daniel Brito is the man and helps you with everything; from what to wear to the interview, to how to correctly format your resume. With his guidance and a portfolio the opportunities are endless!
If you are looking to transition into technology I recommend this program!

I recently completed a web dev Bootcamp in Berlin. My experience with the Bootcamp was amazing. I found the teachers, TAsa and the staff really helpful. I have learned so much in such a short period of time. I highly recommended for people who are interested in this field and looking into changing their career. (A little tip for the Bootcamp: study basic javascript, HTML, CSS as much as possible before the Bootcamp! It would really help you to learn more advanced stuff)

Coming from a communications background I wasn't sure a bootcamp was for me, but all the wonderful people at Ironhack proved me wrong. It was the best experience to learn fast and surrounded by motivated international people from all backgrounds (which is difficult when you learn online to be honest). The learnings were incredible and the feeling of achievement after 9 weeks was great. If you consider a bootcamp do Ironhack, if you consider a campus come to Berlin :) -

Great Experience

Ironhack has been a great experience for me. I am coming from Mechanical engineering background with no experience in coding at all. The program is definitely immersive and demanding, but when you have great "Front-End" (Instructor, TA's) , and amazing "Back-End" (Career manager, program manager and many more), your path to success as Full-Stack -Developer is guarantee.
The curriculum also includes career workshops which include technical interviews preparation, how to build a winning resume, how to update your Linkedin profile and many more valuable information and tips that are really important for your success in this market. -

Best Career Services

I came to Ironhack with a little previous programming experience in both Java and JavaScript, so I knew what I was getting myself into. Ironhack's tech stack (MERN - MongoDB, Express, React, NodeJS) is modern and frequently used in the industry.
The staff was nice and the classroom environment was good for learning. Niko, our instructor, knows his stuff.
The real difference, however was in the Career Services. Our Career Services manager, Brito, was excellent! He setup and managed the hiring fair with 20+ companies, some large and some small.
Without the career services, I wouldn't be where I am today - a Front-End Web Developer at Carnival Cruise Line!
A big thanks to Niko, Brito, Alex, Jess, Lisa, and every Ironhacker that made this bootcamp possible!
