Boosting my career
Read more Read less of Alma's review
Last Christmas I met a UX designer from San Francisco who was on vacation in Mexico City. He told me he worked at a startup that helps immigrants in the US to have access to education. In three years, that company had already helped more than 1K people. "I want to have a job like that!" I told him. I enjoyed working as a graphic designer in an advertising agency, but I wanted more. I was not fulfilled. Six months later, I was studying UX/UI design in Ironhack and I can say that this has been one of my best decisions I have made. It was difficult at first because the course is quite intense and demanding, but it's worth it. In addition, the Ironhack staff is very supportive and prepare you to be competitive and find a good job in a matter of weeks.
Moreover, at the hiring fair we had the opportunity to meet people from high profile companies such as Bancomer, Liverpool, Clip, Multiplica and many more.
I will always be grateful to them for helping me achieve my goals.

Web Development in Paris, May 2018
Read more Read less of Meri's review
I’ve just finished the full-time web development bootcamp with Ironhack (May-August 2018) where we learned MEAN stack development. The course covers a wide range of topics and gives you all the tools needed to start your career as a junior developer, however to get the best out of the course, it’s important to be fully invested and to know what outcomes you want from your bootcamp.
- the negatives –
There is a big importance on team building within the class and with the other cohorts happening at the same time, but at times this can feel a bit forced. If you’re not very social, this can be tiring.Scheduling/organization seems to be a bit of an issue. Some examples: having (somewhat required) career prep sessions or activities during our lunch breaks, never receiving reinforcement lessons, catching up on courses during our project weeks, etc. This probably depends a lot of the cohort and the other factors, but some things just seemed last second and/or badly timed.
+ the positives +
The materials are good, and the staff is nice, but the stand out was our instructor, Nizar. He is truly an excellent teacher; enthusiastic and very clear in his manner of explaining (simple and complex) concepts. I could not have asked for a better instructor for the course.The career services were also super helpful. The Outcomes Manager, Dina, helped us with our resumes, rebranding, and explaining our background to recruiters. We got to meet with many companies, as well as recruitment sites. I most certainly feel that without the connections of Ironhack, I would not have had as much exposure to companies looking for junior developers.
Three weeks after the bootcamp, I had three offers from very interesting companies. I can honestly say that none of that would have been possible without Ironhack.
*For future students, a knowledge of French will be helpful. It won’t cause any problems during the course, but it can ease communication with classmates/TAs and future employers.
I am overall super happy with the program! If you want to learn web development, join Ironhack. -

Web Development January 2018

First off, let me start this review by saying that I was a part of the full-time web dev cohort in January of 2018 and I graduated in March 2018. So this has nothing to do with any current instructor - just to be clear before I start. I waited this long to write a review because I wanted to see how I felt after the course and wait until I found a job (which I did) and how I felt at work in terms of preparation and knowledge.
I want to start by saying that both of my TA's at the time (Sandra & Jessica) we're both incredibly amazing and super helpful throughout the entire course. If it wasn't for them I probably would not have finished the course and I would not be where I am today. Sandra knows the material so well and honestly, should have been our lead instructor. I know others in my class felt the same way.
After extensive research and planning, I ultimately decided to attend Ironhack over other boot camps because of 3 things: The lead instructor Nizar who has a great reputation, the curriculum looked more modern and promising over other schools, and Brito also has a great reputation for job placement.
The night before my class started we all received a message on Slack from a guy named Louis, introducing himself as our lead instructor for the entire cohort. I immediately contacted someone about it because I wasn't happy about Nizer teaching the course as that was one of my main reasons for attending Ironhack. Changing lead instructors pretty much last minute and not informing the students prior to the class beginning was a huge failure on Ironhacks part and I felt we really got screwed over. They obviously needed someone asap to teach the course because Nizar was transferring to the campus in Paris. I spoke to multiple people about the issue and no one really seemed to care. To make things shorter we were left with a subpar instructor who was previously teaching Ruby in Japan. Not being able to do anything about the situation (I already had quit my full-time job for this) I decided to give it a chance and do the class. From the first week, I could tell that there was something off about him. He did not know the material at all, he could not fix the bugs in our code, knew nothing about Angular and honestly I don't think he even knew how to code in JavaScript as he was just following along in the lessons line for line and encountering errors he could not fix, ultimately leaving us with a bunch of code and projects that don't fully work as intended. Louis became more and more unprofessional as the cohort went on, saying to students how he "didn't really want to be a programmer" & how 1 or 2 weeks before the class ended he had "already purchased a plane ticket back to Japan for his girlfriend". He would often leave in the middle of the day leaving the work for the TA's to manage and ourselves. I would ask him for help multiple times when I would get stuck and he was not able to help me or even point me in the right direction. I would go to Sandra right after and she immediately knew what was wrong with my code. When it came time for Module 3 of the course & the Angular portion of the material, he was pretty much a ghost. He knew nothing about the framework and Sandra our TA, taught the class for the entire remainder of the course, which helped everyone out a lot. During this time, he sat in the back of the room on his computer or left early. The fact that Ironhack allowed this to go on and didn't offer any sort of help or compensation for it really bothers me to this day. I quit my job dropped everything and paid good money to go there and we shouldn't have had to deal with this sort of thing. But of course business is business as usual and that's more important to them it seemed.
Lead instructor aside, I feel the curriculum has flaws but is pretty solid as far as material. My two biggest issues with the curriculum were that the Canvas portion was WAY too long and honestly completely useless unless you're going to build browser games at work (which you probably won't). I feel like we could have used all that time to focus more on fundamentals of JavaScript which was lacking and something more realistic to prepare you for the real world. My second issue is that there were WAY too many bugs in the curriculum. Since Louis was never able to fix the bugs during the class, he would often stop that portion of the lesson and continue on to something else because of time, and leaving us with a bunch of repositories and examples that don't work. The curriculum should be reviewed, re-written, and tested thoroughly before presenting it to students so everyone can finish their lessons and in-class assignments. I would suggest hiring someone to do this if they haven't since then.
I gave 3 stars for my overall experience because at the end of the day my classmates were all awesome and I had a really good time. The campus is great, everyone is friendly, and it's a really cool experience. My TA's were awesome and honestly, I would give 5 stars if I wasn't stuck with an awful lead instructor.
Last but not least, Brito (Outcomes manager) is really awesome and a great guy. He helped me a lot during career week and even took time out of his day post-career week to video call me and help me out with my job search. He gave a bunch of in-person job search help sessions 2 times a month after the cohort ended and I was able to learn a lot of great techniques and special ways to get in contact with employers and was able to effectively land interviews. He was always available on slack to communicate and responded quickly. This man gets 5/5 stars and I would give him more stars if I could. Super helpful guy and Ironhack students are very lucky to have him!
I was able to find a job a little over 2 months post-graduation and I started working as a Jr. Software Developer in June 2018. I'm still here and I really love my job. Although I did not feel ready AT ALL after the class ended because of our unfortunate circumstances, I decided to keep coding every day once the class finished and did a couple courses on Udemy to keep my knowledge fresh and continue pursuing being a developer while getting interviews. I can honestly say that if you don't continue coding once the class is done - it's over. It's tough to motivate yourself daily to put in the work but in my case, it definitely paid off and I'm super happy I pushed myself to get there. I deal with imposter syndrome every single day but I know that with time things will start to click and things will get easier. This is not an easy job at all.
My advice to anyone who wants to take the course is to really make sure who your lead instructor is going to be and regularly ask to make sure that person is still going to be teaching so your not hit with any surprises the night before class starts. I would suggest doing some online courses on Udemy before starting the class as it will really help you progress faster. Looking back, I wish I would have been better prepared and I know what I would have done differently now that I'm done. You can't learn everything in 9 weeks! Spend a few months learning the material before you start, it will help a lot. And listen to Brito!

UX/Ui Design Bootcamp

I graduated from Ironhack Miami's UX/UI full-time boot camp this August. This program is by far one of the most amazing opportunities I have ever found myself being a part of. After graduating college in may, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I came across user design experiences through the school General Assembly but found that they did not offer user interface which I wanted to learn. Ironhack is one of the only institutions in the country which offer both. And from what I've learned, only learning UX is not viable enough to take into the workforce, you need to learn interface as well.
I graduated with a bachelors in art history and had been craving to go into the creative field. At first, I was unsure about Ironhack and was scared to make a move from New York to Miami to participate in this program. But my fears were soon gone after my very first day at Ironhack. The first day, our fantastic TA's told us by the end of the nine weeks, our cohort would become not only our friends but our family. This learning environment is unlike any other I have seen throughout my schooling career. David Fast, my instructor, is a TRUE visionary. He is brilliant, driven, and cares about his students in a way I have never seen in the American school system before. The work environment is so beautiful at building co. You gain the insights of people from their vast background, and you end up growing with your classmates, and they help build you up throughout the entire course. I can go on for hours about ironhack, but all I can say is... if you can take the time to take this course... it will change your perspective, your motivations, and your life in the most wonderful way. I recommend it from the bottom of my heart. I miss ironhack so much and hopefully, one day ill have the opportunity to participate in the web dev class as well. All the best, and good luck!

Ironhack. #2 in the World and A Life Changing Experience.
Read more Read less of R Ortiz's review
I recently graduated from the Ironhack Miami, Full Time Full Stack Web Development boot camp in August 2018
I went to Ironhack to learn, hands on and specialize myself in web development after having self studied over two years on my own.
Was it worth it? Yes. Did I learn anything? A ton. Was it hard? Oh yes it was.
The Ironhack curriculum and training is intensive. It will definitely require more than 400 hours in 9 weeks, on your own time, besides your class time as well, mastering the craft in becoming a full stack developer. The hours will be spent in class will also require you to work at home and complete your class assignments, especially during your project weeks.
It is intensive, fast paced, rigorous and incredibly demanding, but everything's done for you to succeed. If you can make it through the Ironhack curriculum, you can make it through anything else tech or life throws at you with an incredible confidence knowing that you know what you know. The instructors are always present as well as the Teachers Assistants. You are not alone as your classmates are going through the same things as you, are here too, working together as one cohort, in unity, fear not, you will always get some help when needed and if your not afraid to ask.Of course in Tech you won't know everything there is to know when you graduate, but you'll be prepared to have an incredible kick start and keep improving a lot faster than if you didn't attend Ironhack and tried to learn on your own. There are many that can learn well on their own by self study. It's possible. With Ironhack, my newfound skills and experience are now more solidified than ever. This is a lifelong learning commitment even after graduating. Just like breathing. If you are committed to coding, you can't stop coding. Commit. Commit. Commit. It will be woth it. You are worth it.
Your instructor Nick, is the Godfather of Code. If he can't fix it, the code doesn't exist. A gazillion thanks to Nick, all the Ta's, Brito and the Ironhack staff. An incredible life changing experience I will never forget and no longer have to hope for a better future.
Once you've graduated, you're always an Ironhacker. If you ever need anything during your job search, Brito is the man you can call and ask for help, advice, contacts, or even just drop by for events or just to say hello. Just be sure to slack him.
You must be willing to work hard. Not procrastinate and definitely don't hesitate Just go for it. One of the most important investments you will make in your life. This is by far, not an expense, but an incredible investment in yourself. The return is....priceless.

UX / UI Full time bootcamp (Miami) - Take the plunge!
Read more Read less of Juliana Gregori's review
I just recently graduated from the UX/UI Design full-time bootcamp at Ironhack Miami, and I had the time of my life. It was a very difficult and extremely challenging process for me, but the amount of knowledge and hands-on experience you acquire in only 2 months is amazing. Needless to say, the bootcamp experience is really not for the weak hearted. It pushes you beyond your limits and tests you on every level to really pull out the best within each student.
The most important skill I’ve learned during my time at Ironhack was to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. That’s essentially the nature of the course; it forces each student to enhance their strengths, but most importantly, work on their weaknesses. There is limited time to get assignments done, so exercising better time management is essential. There are presentations and public speaking almost every week, there is the constant exercise of accepting failure and making mistakes, and the idea that perfection is your enemy (so if there are any perfectionists out there, get ready to let go of this habit guys, because everything is actually supposed to be “Agile”). I also learned that throughout any UX/UI design process, the user should always be the guide, and you really have to follow and respect the process, never jump to solutions.
The staff at Ironhack was very helpful and most importantly, were always positive. It really helps to be surrounded by instructors and TA’s who believe in each student’s potential, who are ready to listen when you need to vent, who provide constructive feedback, any help needed or just be uplifting with optimistic comments. I am very grateful to everyone at Ironhack who guided me throughout the cohort: my teacher, David, my TA’s Hugo and Hector, my Web Dev week instructors Sandra and Colby, as well as Brito, our super dedicated Career Resources professional! They just made my time in the cohort extremely enjoyable and meaningful.
Also, being in such an amazing co-working environment such as Building, helped make the experience memorable. I really love it there, I always feel welcome and comfortable, like it is my home away from home. I have spent A LOT of time there, and I love the fact that students have access to the space 24/7 with the use of the fob (I didn’t want to return mine at the end of the cohort!). It is no wonder I would always tell people who asked me about the course that I would live at Building and sleep in Aventura. I cannot express enough how much I loooooved being in that space and am happy to return each time I visit. Everything about it was awesome: the classroom environment with the ability to write and ideate on the white walls, cover the glass walls with our sticky notes, the nook with the comfy couch on the 2nd floor, cafecito at 3:05 brought to us everyday by the very sweet ladies: Mercedes and Maria, and especially the rooftop with the beer on tap. It is just a great space to get inspired, work, and also to network.
The only cons I have for the cohort, is that I wish the course were longer. I personally think 3 months would be ideal, but if not, then at least 2 weeks extra so that the students can have more time to work with the web devs and also to better prepare for the hiring week. I felt an enormous amount of pressure to get my portfolio ready and honestly didn’t feel comfortable with what I presented to perspective employers. So it is important to have either an extra week to solely focus on that or to incorporate it more throughout the cohort (weekly check-ins on the progress, time for business cards to be made). It was constantly drilled into us that “the portfolio is what will get you hired”, so quality time to work on it is essential. Students will be better prepared and most likely result in more hires right out of the hiring fair. So, win win on both ends: great for the students as well as the school. Being able to work more closely with the web dev cohort is also essential in order to better prepare for the field. It would be great to work with them in fully developing one of our projects into a functional app, for example.
Overall, my experience at Ironhack was very positive and this was the best investment I have done for my career. I had to overcome a lot of personal difficulties and blockers along the road, but truthfully, there is nothing more fulfilling than when you overcome something that initially might seem impossible, whether that is fear of public speaking or just delivering assignments on time. I loved every minute of the cohort and will forever be a proud Ironhacker. I have made incredible friends, developed a great support system with the school, and am excited as well as ready for what is yet to come!!! Cheers!!!

The UX/UI Miami bootcamp was really an awesome experience, and this at different levels.- People I met there, my class, the teachers, the TAs, the web dev class and the staff are great. Everyone is on the same page, eager to work and bringing his skill and his good vibe to the table
- The network it brings you is huge, it's opening you several doors and gives you a nice pit stop to boost your career
- The content of the course is relevant and complete. David is a super pedagogue, and extremely attentive. Plus, we are working on three different projects which enable us to master the design thinking methodology at the end of the course.
- What I learned: The complete methodology of design thinking, how to actually use the lean UX method and how to conduct proper research.
- I feel ready to go on the market and I already had three mission offers after 3 weeks of graduation!
- The staff was really competent, and I would like to thanks particularly Jess, Alia, Brito, and David for their work
- Building and co, the cowering space was perfect and provides everything you need: a comfortable space to work, coffee and snack to refill at any time.

Ironhack Paris Webdev bootcamp - exciting but exhausting!
Read more Read less of Valérie Linarès's review
Being a webdev in 9 scholar weeks... not exactly. Yes, you'll be a full stack webdev, used to good practices, 9 weeks after you started the bootcamp. But you'll start the bootcamp after a 2-3 weeks (full time) prework at home. And all over the bootcamp you'll have to also do extra-work late in the evening and during the week-ends. Should I have known that, I would have set up arrangements to stay close to the school during the week to be able to provide a 100% work. Anyway, it was a huge experience. Both the admin and teaching teams are awesome, and even if having the students learn so many things in a so short time sounds like a miracle... yes, they can! So... if your motivation and your energy are strong, just do Ironhack and enjoy!

Ironhack is worth it -- but be prepared
Read more Read less of Ali Sattar's review
I chose Ironhack because of its reputation, and from talking to actual IT recruiters in Miami who said Ironhack grads come out better-prepared than those from other similar bootcamps. The coursework is more rigorous so the grads themselves are better able to transition to actual real-world developer work / transition to other languages and frameworks better; and there's more job search / career prep.
Just be prepared to put in a ton of time and energy. The course moves fast, and it's easy to fall behind if you're not taking it seriously or are trying to keep working while attending.
Instructional and admin staff were incredibly nice and patient with us.

I am a Public Accountant, 53 years old, I have taken many courses in my life, from professional pool operator supported by the NSPF; spinning instructor accedited by Reebok; short film writer; among many others, and without fear of error I can say the Ironhack Web Development Bootcamp is the best course I have taken in my life. When I read what I could get in 9 weeks I did not believe it, I thought it was a joke or a fraud, today after living it I know that the advertising was just a bit of the reality. I learned not only about web development but also discipline and hard work; the human quality of the staff is incredible, the group of people that formed my group could not be better, today I continue with my career with new skills but above all with a new attitude towards work and with a group of elite friends ... thank you Ironhack

Ironhack UX/UI Bootcamp Awesomeness
Read more Read less of Indiya Meadows's review
I honestly didn't know what to expect when I signed up for Ironhack. It was a pivitol moment in my life as i was trying to figure things out and I took a chance. I had spent thousands of dollars on traditional education schooling and really didn't know what this experience would be like. Let's just say it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The location, people and what the ux/ui program pushes you to do is every bit of amazing. I learned the core principles of user centered design but most importanly I learned about myself. I learned not to give up, its ok to lean on your team, and how to share and support others. The culture at Ironhack is what really stands out, you're not just in a cohort with 20 random people form all over the world. You are with a group of people from all different backgrounds and lifestyles and who share a common interest that somehow makes you become a family. I dont know if that was everyone before me experience or even after me but, I can say that on the first day I went to Ironhack as an individual. Nine weeks later I graduated with a family, a network and a support system.
The most important thing I learned during my time at Ironhack was to trust process and that the user is the guide. I learned to let go and not lead with a solution as opposed to undstanding the problem as a whole.
Everyone from the staff, instructors and my classmates made this process beyond easy. My instructor David and TA's Hector and Hugo were awesome, talk about being there when you need them. I never heard no they were there the whole time helping and guiding, so much support. Brito the outcomes manager also played a major role in the process he was more like a father, staying on us to make sure our Linkedin Profiles were on point prepping us for interviews and keeping us in the know about local meet ups and workshops. He also put together career fair ending with a hiring fair that had some pretty awesome companies like Uber and Royal Caribbean.
My only cons are I wish the program was longer, and I wish we worked with the web dev corhort more. I think it would better prepare us when stepping into the real world and having to have that dialog amongst peers in the work place. Also, I felt alot of pressure to put my portfolio together in the end so either allowing a week to work soley on the portfolio after our final project or incoporating the porfolio as a weekly deliveralble to pace the students progress.
Overall my experience was amazing and if I had the funds I would do it all again!!

When I decided to change my professionnal path from psychology to UX, I had difficulty choosing from the different programs available. Ironhack Paris was a great experience and I don't regret the investment.
By going to Ironhack in invested in myself 150%. Not only was it a leap of faith, it was the mean for me to learn differently : learn ny doing, learn with your peers, complete each other's skills. I got to learn the UX process and the different tools that come in handy when researching user problems and defining solutions. The instructors were supportive, listening.
The strengh at Ironhack is the constant process of improving the was their courses go with student feedback every week or so. I got the understand how listening, observing people helped improving an experience and how design is not about pretty pixel, it starts with the WHY of every single pixel you design.
The whole Ironhack experience was an intense human, those 9 weeks with the same people, day after day, from 9 am to 9 pm most days, taught me more than UX/UI, it taugh me the sense of family, the humility to admit you don't know and that someone else does, and how working together, making compromises, choosing what is best for the user (and not for you ego) makes better outcomes than working solo.
To conclude, I found a job not even 5 day post Hackshow, starting this september 2018 !

Ironhack has been one of the greatest experiences I've had in my life. I had the opportunity to attend Ironhack's UX/UI Bootcamp in Miami, FL after being awarded a scholarship by Uber which was truly life-changing.
Ironhack Miami is located at Building.co, a co-working space in which you will have 24/7 access. There will be times that you will find yourself working late hours or staying up late to play cornhole with classmates on the rooftop terrace, a perfect outdoor space for daily stand-ups, cornhole tournaments, and meditation!
The UX/UI curriculum is truly immersive and well thought out. They take you through each of the phases of the UX process all the way to a final working prototype, multiple times! My instructor, David Fast and the TA's Hector and Hugo were beyond helpful and knowledgeable. At Ironhack you'll also get the opportunity to meet Alia, Jess, and Alex a group of vibrant, hard-working individuals that are making sure that you are having the best experience possible.
When it comes to getting a job, Brito, the outcomes manager is there to guide you through the job-seeking process and help you land a job! I couldn't have done it without the Ironhack team, Uber, and all the individuals that helped me along the way.
Be ready to work hard and push yourself to take that next step in our career and keep in mind that when you join Ironhack, you are not just entering a boot camp, when you join Ironhack you become part of a family.

When I came to Ironhack, I was a person pushing my life to the limit, having many painful life experiences. I went to Ironhack with not much more than hope in my heart and a will to give my ALL to change my career and change my life! I've met a community of so many great people, and together we gave our all to learn JavaScript and the MEAN Stack (MongoDB, Express.js, Angular2, Node.js). If you're looking at this now, they've probably updated to MERN Stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js).
Be ready to work HARD, and put in HOURS to accomplish. The bootcamp says 400 hours, but it takes more than that to be very proficient. They prepare you to learn code, search for answers, and the career preparation by Brito is better than ANY career prep I've ever had in my life! The experiences I've had in Ironhack have marked me positively for life, and I feel strong not just in my very basic foundation in Web Development, but as a person.
I can say that Ironhack is the best thing I've ever done in my life, and the benefits are just beginning :)
Oh! You'll be at a MASSIVE advantage if you read, understand, and apply You Don't Know JS, Eloquent Javascript, and learn basic Javascript Data Structures and Algorithms before the prework, but you'll be able to make it through without those, although you may need them at the end to help you be a top candidate for a job :).

I've been a student in Ironhack Miami Bootcamp. I was taking Full-time UX/UI course.
The course is very intensive so in order not to lose track of the program you'll have to work hard and make a lot of exercises. But I want to say that it worth it, trust me, guys. You will never be the same person again once you finish. It will change your life completely, and change it in a better way. Besides design, this Bootcamp teaches you how to be successful in your life, solve problems and never give up. It's all about passion...its all about GRIT.
The teaching staff has been great and they were often available to help you also in extra hours. Many thanx to our instructor David and 2 TA's: Hector and Hugo. All of them were supporting and pushing you to do more and learn more. The curriculum is amazing too and focused on your practical skills. Like we say in Ironhack "Learning by doing". All that skills that you polished here, you will be using in real life and that's why Ironhack is the best one ever.
Ironhack is all about hard work, persistence, and dedication. Ironhack is family. It feels like second home here. And yes you would have your father here. His name is Daniel, but you can call him Brito. This guy got your back, he is outcomes manager and will help you to find your dream job. You would get mother too. Her name is Alia, she is general manager, wonderful and wise woman btw. And finally, you would get a ton of sisters and brothers, which are people from your cohort and grads from previous cohorts. Oh, snap! I forgot to mention your new older sister- Jess (program manager). She is an amazing person and she will make your days in boot camp bright, funny and enjoyable.
If you are looking for a new start in this field and change your life I suggest people think seriously and join Ironhack family. Welcome

The greatest learning experience I've ever had! It was like having a big family (we were 21) for 2 whole month. The classes were very complete and effective and I was really able to see my progress during the different projects.
The teaching staff is very welcoming, efficient and caring. I really felt like they wanted the best for us. They encourage us to keep in touch after the bootcamp and we can go to them for advice.
I totally recommend it!

Julien Verified via GitHubWeb dev full-time - BCN - June 2018
Best decision I've made !! I had no background in tech before and I can't believe how much I learned in 9 weeks. Even if the pace is very intense, no one is left behind in the class and everybody makes sure that all the concepts are fully understood by the students. Moreover, the BCN team is awsome, I had the best classmates and the best TA's.

I finished Ironhack’s full time web dev course last week and I highly recommend it, if you want to work hard and learn fast. I started with nearly zero coding experience and I built a game and 2 web applications during the course. Designing and completing these projects was important because it helped me understand and experiment with the new technology I had learned, now I have projects to show potential employers.
I found the overall Ironhack experience to be friendly and supportive, but it also challenged and pushed me to work as hard as I could. The Ironhack staff are really down-to-earth, smart, dedicated, and love coding. I really cannot say enough good things about the people there. Our class was one of the largest they’ve had, but individual help was still readily available. Communication with the instructor, TAs, and other students was easy and fast - we used SLACK, which is a commonly used communication tool in the tech world.
Right now I’m doing the career week - the week after you graduate Ironhack helps with resumes, interviewing skills, and also holds a job fair. This was one of the main reasons I chose Ironhack and so far it has been a great help.

If you’re looking for a rapid career change or to further build up your practical coding skills in the least amount of time possible, the coding bootcamp might be just the answer for you. If you’re considering a few different bootcamps, here are a few facts that set Ironhack apart:
- An amazing support system, which means ever step of the way you will have access to expert guidance: from the application process and the course’s pre-work, through the program’s curriculum and building projects for your portfolio, all the way to updating your resume and job interviews’ preparation.
- Well-rounded, very practical and consistently updated curriculum. There’s a new full-time cohort at Ironhack every 2 months and each new group gets an updated and improved course, which means that when you graduate your new skills will be relevant and in demand.
- The environment of diversity and inclusion that fosters creativity and allows one to customize what course has to offer to one’s personal needs.
- The Ironhack staff. Friendly, helpful, knowledgable, professional and extremely invested in your success during the program and beyond. From the TA’s with the infinite supply of patience, who will explain things to you as many times as it takes for you to grasp them, to the program manager in charge of the weekly activities and learning environment (which, if necessary, is modified in real time according to your own cohort’s weekly reviews), all the way to the outcomes manager (aka your new bff - the guy who will guide you to landing that dream job), - the Ironhack team is an amazing group of individuals, who made your success their professional goal.
- The location: Downtown Miami, steps away from Brickell City center, with classrooms located in a beautiful co-working space with 24 hour access, awesome modern amenities (fully equipped kitchen incl. the espresso machine, rooftop access w/lounging chairs, a lawn and corn hole, free beer on tap…Do I need to say more?!)
- The alumni network: from day one you get to become a member of the extended Ironhack’s family connecting developers and designers of all skill levels across borders and oceans. So it will stay for the rest of your professional career.
Now for the difficult part. If you commit to a full-time 9 week program be prepared to put everything else in your life on hold: relationships, family commitments, workout routine, etc. There would be no place in your life for any interests or goals outside of your coding aspirations. The course is very fast paced, so your dedication has to be complete for the adequate ROI.
All in all, if you are eager to get you foot in the door of the Web Development world and are ready to put in the hard work, becoming an Ironhacker might be the best career move you’d ever make.

I attended Ironhack Miami June of 2018 for the Full time Web Developement Course with little to no experience in the coding language javascript. I loved the experience, fast pace , challenging and great location with tons of options with food and outtings. The staff are well versed in the language which makes your learning experience a very pleasany one until they leave. Books you should read before starting the course are Eloquent JavaScript, followed up with the book title " You dont Js ", and in that order. Working on the pre-work assigned to you when you reserve your seat in the Cohort is a great foundation and shouldn't be taken lightly. Ask questions with no mercy to the TA's and instructor or else you are wasting your time and money, remember its ok to not understand. This course is a sprint but if you stay quite without asking questions you are going to make your time and money . The course is no joke, but with the right mindset and with the right preperation you will be fine. That being said don't plan on working during the course if you are truely want to become proficient in JavaScript. I say this becuase unfortunately had to work due to some mistakes made by my recruiter on the loan dates since they tried to place me on the Cohort before the one I attend and this person forgot to change the dates back to the correct ones (don't worry don't think he works there anymore). This even made me have to pay my loan back as soon as I started the course and work on the weekends.
Great experience over all, good luck to anyone accepting this challenge!

Life Changing Experience

Attending Ironhack's full time UX/UI Design program was something that I was interested in but not sure if I should take on. Someone recommended it to me, and after seeing his success and all around improvement in life, I knew it was a chance I could not pass up. I'm so glad I did the program! Not only did I learn countless valuable skills that will help me as a designer, I gained an entire family, network, and support system. My instructor David served as a mentor and friend when he wasn't teaching, and the events and guest speakers hosted by Ironhack never disappointed. I feel ready to take on the world of design, and I've already started applying design thinking to all aspects of my life. I definitely recommend Ironhack if you are seeking to change your career, improve your skillset and make yourself more valuable, learn something new, or just gain a community that you know you can rely on!

Great experience!

I would 100% recommend Ironhack to any friend interested in Web Development. I believe that someone motivated enough will succeed with the assistance of Ironhack. It is not easy, and it is not a golden ticket to a job (although it can be if you work hard enough). Ironhack has a great network here in South Florida and companies absolutely notice their name on a resume or LinkedIn profile.
Continue reading for a more detailed look at my journey at Ironhack.
Background: I never worked in anything tech or programming related. I had some programming experience from undergrad and from there on out, I have been taking steps to improve my development skills but felt like I hit a wall.
Why I joined: I wanted to build a portfolio and break down that wall. I wanted to switch careers and become a developer/engineer. I chose Ironhack over their competition because of the MEAN Stack, these reviews, and the passion and family-like culture I received upon initial contact with the staff.
Staff: Ironhack keeps expanding and stays progressive with their vision and every employee really cares and believes in that vision. From the top down, everyone is approachable and makes you feel at home.
- Your instructor? Ironhacker
- TA's? Ironhackers
They have been in our shoes. They know what it takes to push you and make sure they set you up for success. They are happy to do it. It is not a "job" for them, it's a passion.
My cohort had a new instructor, Nick. Everything I had read about Ironhack before joining was about Nizar and I had high expectations. Nick did a great job, and he had a great team of TA's too. Lead TA - Sandra is a machine. You will not fall behind even with the fast pace because of this.
Experience: HIRED 6 weeks after hiring fair
To get the most out of this course, you will live, eat, breathe, and dream code. This is 9 weeks full time, and 1 more for hiring week. In these 10 weeks, do not expect to have a life outside of Ironhack. Make sure you have the full support of a significant other because it is not an easy balance. Your friends will be non-existent. It's a boot camp for a reason. Even with some coding experience, I would find myself still at Ironhack until 10-11pm most days. Project week will hit you like a ton of bricks. Beer on tap will keep you sane.
On the bright side, you are going to be in a setting with dozens of people who have the same mindset and goals as you. This makes it a lot easier.
What isn't obvious is that it does not stop after these 10 weeks. When you are looking for work afterward, it is also a full-time job. Expect to be looking for work for 4-8 weeks minimum.
And it doesn't stop there. If you get hired, it's going to feel like another boot camp. So make sure you take that all into account before jumping in and make sure you can be fully committed.
Job assistance: There is a hiring fair set up by Brito that at the very least will give you some practice on interviewing. I interviewed with 6 companies and with two of those, I went through their whole interview process afterward. I did not get hired by a company from the hiring fair (but others did).
Brito makes sure you are taking necessary action in your job hunt and guides you.
I applied aggressively and was able to land multiple phone interviews and several in-person interviews. Rejected by plenty, but in the end, I was able to get multiple offers.
Conclusion: I would do it all over again if I could. I knocked down that wall and changed careers, and made great friends at the same time.
Tips: Take your LinkedIn and resume seriously. Attend tech events and meetups. Try to do coding challenges on HackerRank and/or CodeWars.
Feel free to message me on LinkedIn if there is anything else you'd like to know.

Julio Verified via GitHubA great 9-week experience
I wasn't expecting much when I signed up for the bootcamp but at the end of it all I can say I'm amazed in what I learned in such a short period. I was expecting to maybe learn how to to build a simple website but we learned that in just the first 3 weeks. I had an amazing group of classmates and amazing TA's.

I was working full time as creative when I first heard about Ironhack. My schedule was busy and I was devoted to my career, but it was always a thought that would cross my mind over and over again. There came a point where I felt I needed a challenge, and after winning a scholarship through uber, I was able to raise the funds to attend the UX/UI cohort and still continue working at the same time. The 9 weeks I spent at their coworking space in Miami not only provided me with an intense curriculum, but also the challenge of solving real world problems and devising projects to make them a reality. We started as 22 strangers and left as a family looking for ways to make the world a better place through design. I have no regrets after attending this course and would reccomend to anyone that has an interest in problem solving, research, or design.

I finished the Ironhack Paris Bootcamp at the start of August '18 and I still can't believe it is already over !
I started as a total beginner and went to Ironhack in order to get the basics on the frontEnd and backEnd sides of the web development process.
The training is short but INTESE ! Nine weeks and hundreds of hours of organised learning and personnal one !
You have to be able to work hard and give up on some parts of your social life for a short period of time but it is so worth it!
The teacher, the TAs and the whole staff are always there if you need anything ! The classmates are all in the same boat but you can count on mostly everybody to lift each other and work together !
The courses are really thought to satisfy your curiosity and also to attract future comanies.
Don't expect to become a web dev wizard at the end, but you'll be showed the ropes to improve and keep on going !
And one IMPORTANT THING : Ironhack is not just for 9 weeks ! Once an Ironhack, forever an Ironhacker !

I just finished my Web development bootcamp and it was an amazing experience.
I was scared to change my career but Ironhack taught me all the tools I needed to do so, including how to continue learning stuff by myself after the bootcamp, which is the most important for me.
The staff is amazing, very friendly, and is ready to give you the support you need. The teacher is the best you could hope for. It was like having a new little family :)
I just finished the bootcamp but we already have a lot of job interviews so I'm looking forward to what's coming next for me!

Really good experience

I graduated from Ironhack Paris by the end of may '18 and if I could, I would do it again right now.
To be precise on my personal background, I started as a junior and not a total beginner, I went to Ironhack to specialize myself in web development after having completed a longer, more general training which started my career shift.
About the training itself, it is short but intensive, more than 400 hours in 9 weeks, only talking about hours spent in class here, you will work at home too, especially during project weeks.
It can sound harsh, and sometimes it is, but everything's done for you to succeed. The teachers are always present and your classmates who are going through the same things as you are here too, you will always get some help when needed.The content of the curriculum is thought to be in accordance with entreprises' needs and is evolving to keep it this way. Of course you won't know everything there is to know when you graduate, but you'll be prepared to have a kickstart and keep improving.
The teachers were all cool but special mention to Nizar who was our lead teacher. His way of teaching has never been boring, good tone and speed for talking, good balance between seriousness and fun... This is really different from about every course I've attended before.
And as a last word, once you've graduated, you're still an Ironhacker, if you need anything during your job search (which could end during the hiring week, next week after graduation), you can call them for help, advice, contacts, drop by for events or just to say hello.
If you're willing to work hard, don't hesitate, go for it, this is not an expense, this is an investment in yourself.

I did a ton of research before choosing the right program for me, and the moment I found Ironhack I knew it was the right choice. From the very first point of contact with the company I could feel the passion from its team and it was contagious. I was eager to learn more and take my design skills to the next level, and what I got was all that and more. Much more than just a bootcamp experience, the Ironhack experience is about making new connections, new friends, making lasting memories. The hours were long and the work was hard, but it was all worth it. The program is very comprehensive and complete and I received all the necessary support and guidance I needed from my instructor David Fast and teacher assistant Snezana Dragusev. David kept it all fun and interesting, and did a tremendous job at getting the material across, and Snezana was always available to lend a helping hand and keeping the entire class in high spirits. The UX/UI course also comes with an exciting web development-focused week which supercharged my front-end dev skills, all with the help of web instructor Fernando Azevedo.
The entire Ironhack staff is exemplary, always on the ready to help you out, offer their guidance or just chat with! Huge props have to be given to Alia Poonawala (General Manager at Ironhack Miami), Jessica Gonzalez (Administrator), Patrick de la Guardia (Admissions Director) and Rebecca Willett, General Manager at Building.co, the coworking space where Ironhack Miami is located.
The Ironhack bootcamp also offers an amazing job support program, masterfully orchestrated by Outcomes Manager Daniel Brito. Brito goes above and beyond in helping students learn best practices for job interviews, job tracking, soft skills interviews and generally how to get out there into the real world after the bootcamp is over. The mock interviews and actual interviews are great practice, if nothing more. The guest speakers Brito gets to come in are also a real treat and a part I looked forward to every week of the course. There really is no better way to learn than to hear from actual people who are in the field and have tons of experience already.
All in all, I went into the course expecting to leave with a lot more UX/UI knowledge, but I left with so much more. I am more confident in my own abilities and skills and feel more ready to tackle the world and find the opportunities I long for. This is an experience I will carry with me and refer back to for the rest of my life

By far Ironhack Miami gave me the best school experience I have received thus far. Other schools sometimes seem like it's on airplane mode but this school was exhilarating, spontaneous and down-right motivational.
Coming from a person that has no design background, Ironhack gave me the resources to not only believe in myself but expand my creativity. This course gave me a vast knowledge of UX design material in a short amount of time.
My professor David Fast and teacher aide Snezana Dragusev were a great support and always there when I needed them. Giving me feedback all along the way and inspiring me to think outside the box.
This course properly showed me the real purpose for designing a product.
I wish I would have learned about Ironhack earlier in my life.

My goal with this review is to provide anyone sitting down reading this an unbiased look in to my experience here at Ironhack Miami(Full Time Web Dev).
First a little about myself for perspective, I've worked retail for almost 6 years. Although it wasn't my ideal career I learned as much as I could and just always tried to keep a good work ethic. Being a manager there I did learn about the perspective of someone looking to hire, which Ironhack's Hiring Manager Brito does an excellent job of teaching by the way. I did some dabbling on Codecademy to get a feel for coding, and soon realized that it would be a very enjoyable career, after excessively reading reviews here on course report and looking at the average salaries of Web Developers I decided that I need to get myself prepared to make this jump.
I gave the max on all four ratings, and I'll explain why for each.
Overall Experience:
What I was looking for immediately was the work-ethic of the people that would be teaching me. Every single person working for Ironhack had unique qualities and had something even greater than work-ethic - passion, for supporting you and helping you achieve your goal. On my first day there I took a look around, not having any idea that I would miss sitting next to everyone there as much as I do now.
Most people who jump in like I did likely have to quit their job in order to attend. With this decision comes a responsibility to yourself, to never forget that you need to be putting you All in this in order to get what you want. This means that if you want to land a job fast you should not be getting there last and leaving first. The more you put in to this the more you get out(l literally just accepted an offer as an Associate Developer).
I feel like I can create any website that I want, learn any new technology or language that I need, and with the skills learned here alone I ended up with 8 interviews in the 2 days of the Ironhack hiring fair(bravo to Brito again for a truly refined process).
The thing is, I did the Full-Time course because I wanted to be immersed in this. I loved coding and being here was like being in another world where I just wanted to stay and keep learning for ever.
In my opinion, if you don’t think that you can dedicate yourself to getting as much as you can out of this course then you should consider two options: The part-time cohort which yields just as great results, Or….hope your current career magically becomes much more fun in the next couple months.
Curriculum:
The course material was more than enough, you could follow it word for word and achieve the goal of that lesson. From some past reviews on here I've read complaints of misspellings and outdated material and Honestly, these few minor misspellings do nothing to deter you from learning the material and in the world of technology there will Always be outdated material because there is always new technology!. One of the most important things I believe any programmer needs to know is how to open a new tab(1 second) and google the issue at hand(depends how fast you read). The teachers and TA's will often do this in front of you so you know exactly how to do it.
Your days start at 9 AM sharp in the classroom, you will spend some time learning a new concept or skill. Then comes a coding challenge(all provided to see whenever you want). Some of these coding challenges will be done in pairs, regardless of if you want this or not it is absolutely necessary in order to learn required skills.
After lunch, another concept is learned or if the previous concept was a bit troublesome there will be a review to clear up some questions. This is followed by another coding challenge to cement that knowledge in.
By the way, I can bet most of you trying to teach yourself at home likely have not added very much to the all to relevant Github. Github will be like second nature to you in just a couple weeks, and it will be filled(hello jobs).
There are 3 projects done throughout the course. I’ll let them surprise you because it is a very personal learning experience that allows you to identify your own flaws, and crush them with the help of the Teacher, TAs, and classmates.
Instructors:
Nick(teacher), and the TA's Marcos, Ian, and award-winning Sandra, are indispensable and amazing people who have helped me through tough, time-intensive problems, and taught me unforgettable lessons that I will continue using forever. I highly suggest you think of your current teachers in the same respect, and I say this with confidence regardless of your cohort because of Ironhack’s dedication to hiring passionate and hard-working people who want to give you as much knowledge as they can.
Something that I quickly caught on to with our instructor Nick is that you should follow his thought process just as much as the skill he is teaching you! I felt like I was getting to sit there and watch how a real developer works through real bumps in the road. Essentially I feel like I now understand how to approach every day coding issues like a pro, his teaching style is natural and realistic. Sometimes he would just look something up to figure out the syntax even if he knew it already(don't underestimate him with this, it's for you).
Job Assistance:
I interviewed with 8 companies in two days during Ironhack’s graduate hiring fair. The process was very well-done and was immensely helpful. I felt strongly about many of these companies, but was still urged to keep applying to companies on my own through what we’ve been taught. So two weeks after graduation here I am, It took about two weeks after graduation to get hired. This is realistic if you approach this course with your priorities in the right place. I generally got there an hour early to look over the current days lesson or even just to have a coffee and relax. 4/5 days of the work week I stayed until atleast 7:30PM, making sure I understood the lessons of the day, refining the work we did in class, or helping/being helped by classmates and Teachers(important),
Brito will give you life changing knowledge and tools during the hiring week. Heads up, when he drops some knowledge on you at any time before the hiring week...remember it or write it down ! You will receive training on how to approach interviews, how to approach and interact with professionals looking to hire, and also how to realize your worth in this industry that is hungry for the skills you have just gained. To top it all off he’s well connected because he is very well respected, and his connections and friends are also amazingly skilled people who are likely going to be your guest speakers.

Doing the Web Development Part-time was a fantastic experience. I started with zero knowledge about Javascript and two weeks after finishing the bootcamp, I have started working as a Front-end developer in an amazing company. This will be so difficult without attending to this bootcamp, self-learning is a good option, but you won't be able to grow as fast as you will do here, you won't meet amazing people and the Ironhack community. In my opinion, everyone interested in web, not only people wishing to be software developers, should attend this bootcamp, besides, you have the part-time option if you are currently working.

Attending the Web DEvelopment bootcamp offered by Ironhack was one of the best decisions that I've made. I was looking for a way to better my life and Ironhack gave me the tools I needed to do that. The coursework is intensive but if you are willing to put in the work then you will have a skillset that will assist you in succeeding in a web development career. The teaching staff was always helpful and available to assist you without whatever problems you might be having with your code.I was concerned about obtaining a job when I completed the program but Brito was there to help guide me through all the steps I needed to take to secure a job. I would highly recommend Ironhack to anyone who likes programming and is willing to make the commitment needed to succeed.

Incredible Experience

As someone with zero coding background coming into this course, I can honestly say that overall, the experience was life-changing. When it comes to the staff, I've never seen a group of people put so much effort and time into helping out their students, even if it means staying until 10 PM to try and figure out a problem. The classroom environment was very engaging, we often had code along sessions with our instructor. Sometimes the coding along was a bit difficult to follow because it moved quickly, but after expressing this to our TA's (teaching assistants), they made sure to speak to our professor and it made a huge difference. I would also like to mention how wonderful the hiring fair experience was. Brito went above and beyond to ensure we were all prepared for our interviews (both technical interviews & soft skills interviews) the mock interviews we had leading up to the hiring fair made a huge difference and really helped put life after the Bootcamp into perspective. Wish I could go back and do it all over again!

I was new in the programming world and I heard about Ironhack from friends saying that it was a great place to start from scratch. The tutors always keep it simple and try to adapt to your leve to make sure you understand everything.
Overall I had a great experience, the teachers are always at your disposal and are quick to answer any doubt you have.
Ironhack is not only an academy but a community with lots of interesting people who can always give you advice on your work. We also help each other when we need it.
Besides learning Javascript, HTML, NodeJS, ngular and many more languages I learn to work with a team and divide the tasks that are given.
I personally think that Ironhack is for both unexperienced programmers and those more advanced who are willing to learn more.
