Ironhack

I am currently attending a full time Data Analytics Bootcamp at Ironhack São Paulo and the experience has been wonderful. All activities are well thought out, the staff of teachers and assistants is sharp and dedicated. Any issues with didactics or content were quickly resolved. It has been an intense and rich learning experience and I can strongly observe everyone's progress.

I'm one of those that came to Ironhack to change my career. I started this Bootcamp without no prior knowledge in programmig or statistics and now I feel ready to work on the field. The teachers are always available to help us learn and improve. It was, by far, the best investment I've made in my life.

I joined Ironhack UX/UI full-time design bootcamp after recommendation and many positive reviews I read on the Internet. It is imporant to notice here than Ironhack has many locations and for sure there is a lot of differences between them - actually it's hard to find them about this specific course in Berlin, so this is why I decided to write my opinion here.

Maybe I will start from positive part here. The working environment it's really amazing, mostly due to the people who participate in the course. It's really great to work with people with different skills and with various background - everyone was very supportive, kind and helpful. When you are stuck with anything, you can always count on your classmates. Also, I think the curriculum is well constructed and contains the most imporant information - of course, it's super intense and it's not possible to remember everything from the lectures but you will get a forever access to the learning platform - pretty helpful. The cool building, comfortable chairs and the free barista were also big advantages :)

Before joining the course, I studied carefully the info and details on their wbesites. For sure, Ironhack promises a lot and it's not suprising, beacuse the bootcamps are very expensive (and getting even more). I would like to refer here to some of their promises.

First of all, the lead teacher is not a UX/UI designer, but a visual designer, and acutally he is not even really interested in the UX part and as he admitted, he has never really worked with it. I expected him to have a broad knowledge about UX, but it was pretty limited to the slides he was presenting. Also, he was very hardly accessible - he was usually leaving early or were always busy with something else. To be honest, he didn't seem really interested in the job.

Ironhack presents itself as a team "tech spec" - but a lot of times they are just lacking skills. The teacher and TA are definetely not specialist in the sofwares that are used during the course - it's very dissapointing. During the career week, some invited people to the school seemed pretty random - maybe just to fill our time with something? I'm not sure if inviting a person who is an ex-TA who doesn't have a job yet as an "interview specialist" or doing negotiation workshops with a person who has no experience with it is the best idea... I think Ironhack should really take closer look at the people who they are hiring - both the teacher and TAs seem often unmotivated and not really engaged in their work. I understand they are not professional designers but sometimes their advice and knowledge is lower that the participants of the course. And also, complaining about students in the common areas, where everyone can hear it, is VERY unprofessional.

Overall, I learned a lot during the course, but it was a lot of my individual work I put in it and also from people I ask for advice from - unfortunetely I can't say the staff was really helpful. I think that Ironhack is not a bad school, but for this price, people's expectations were way higher, what almost everyone admitted at the end. At the moment, I'd advice to think twice before joining campus in Berlin and maybe to consider different locations.

Very good and highly recommend (Data Analytics), during the course you realize how much the course content was scaled in a way that shows a little of everything in the data area, but without being superficial. And during the course the team here from Brazil reviewed the entire content, making it more interesting and applicable to the daily work.

I just think that the teacher (not to mention the excellent TAs) could have participated a little more of the classes, because in the first two weeks and in the last two weeks she was absent due to trips and so on.

I am a musician but I always loved technology and wanted to study programming. However, I didn't want to spend four years studying in a university so a bootcamp was a natural choice for me. I chose Ironhack because they have a complete and robust web development course, preparation for the market, and a hiring fair with lots of good companies. In fact, I was employed by one of the companies that attended the hiring fair only one week after finishing the course. Other than that, the technologies you learn are all current so you learn what is most used in the current market. They have a good infrastructure and the whole Ironhack team is very supportive and attentive to the students' needs.

Unsatisfied with my professional area, I decided to migrate to the area of ​​UX UI Design. So I went looking for a school that was well evaluated and matched my goals, so I would feel well prepared to the professional market and be able to extract maximum knowledge in a short time. At Ironhack I could find everything I was looking for. Learning has given me a wealth of knowledge not only for working life, but for personal as well. In addition to the UX and UI Design tools, we have also learned about Agile methodology and better teamwork techniques. At the end of the bootcamp, there was still uncertainty about getting a job, but it came quickly, within two weeks I had a job offer, which made me even more sure that I had made the right choice by betting at Ironhack.

I wanted to switch my career and learn coding and after considering a university degree and some coding bootcamps I talked to Ironhack and was convinced very quickly.  I was looking for a learning environment among people as motivated and enthusiastic about web development as me. Ironhack provided me with such an environment, support from the best teachers and the necessary web development skills.I really enjoyed my time there, especially project weeks when we built professional websites in unbelievable 4 to 9 days. Another reason I joined Ironhack was because they promised me 95% chance of employment within 2-3 months after the graduation. They didn't lie!  During their career week I met my current employer and got an offer one week later. Thank you so much Montasar, Min, Svenja, Bruno, Mili, Veronika, Daniel and other team members of Ironhack Berlin!

Eu costumo dizer que eu tenho uma vida pré Ironhack e uma pós Ironhack. Estou no final já no terceiro e último módulo e para mim até agora está sendo incrível. Foi uma das minhas melhores escolhas nessa altura da vida e essa experiência tem me mudado muito até porque não tinha experiência com código antes. A equipe é muito boa e sempre se preocupa em passar o melhor para o aluno. O currículo é muito abrangente, por mais que tenha tópicos com um aprofundamento um pouco superficial eles apostam no que o aluno precisa de fato aprender e/ou saber que existe. Vale ressaltar que não é fácil, depende muito do esforço e dedicação do aluno. Eu, hoje, posso dizer que sei codar e isso somado a minha vontade e ao que a ironhack oferece, vale ouro.

I was searching for a data analytics course for some time when I discovered Ironhack in social media. What I can say for the school and the course is that I really think I've made the best choice. Is the curriculum perfect? Probably not yet. But every week the teacher is bringing extra content to go deeper on things missing. And this is really rich. I found that the teacher and TAs are paying attention to what our group is interested in. I can say that I'm really learning, even the "math parts" that I was more afraid because I don't have the background in the area. And the school is a good place to exchange experiences with the students of other courses which makes the experience even better.

As a sale Advisor and new mom, I wanted something else in my life. One day, Vinted sent me an email in which it is written "what do you think about a job in the tech industry?" And that was the starting point of my new life. During the Bootcamp, it was so hard to follow. 9 weeks are so intense with a baby at Home. But with the help of the teacher, the TAs and all the team of Ironhack Paris I managed to finish the Bootcamp alive. We have learned the tech that companies are actually using and developping. At the hiring fair I have met many companies and that helped me to talk easily about what I have done in 9 weeks. I was approached by many companies they have seen my profile online. I applied to one job particulary because it had all the criterias that I wanted. And 2 weeks after the hiring fair, after having several interviews with many companies (technical, phone, ...) I signed with the company that I wanted at the first time. :D Thanks to Ironhack, I am so Happy to start my new life as a Developer. Thanks to the courses, the help, the support, the tools, the contacts, the help on finding a job, ... I will start a new life 1 Month and a half after graduated. Read less

I really enjoyed the course and all that I learned in such a short time, I believe this course really prepares you for the job market in just 9 weeks.
The technical skills of teachers and teacher assistants are great and are always close at hand to assist and maintain involvement with the learning process throughout the learning process.

I took the full time data analytics bootcamp mainly because I wanted to learn Python, but the experience exceeded my expectations. There are very important concepts besides only programming, such as statistics and machine learning, and these are all part of the course syllabus. The instructors made the experience a whole lot better. Another very important part is the career counselling and the hiring week. Companies do show up to interview. Overall, the experience is great, I received a job offer days after finishing the course and now I'm using Python and ML on a daily basis.

I'm doing the Ux Design part-time bootcamp and it is wonderfull. What i like about Ironhack it is that they use a lot of exercises, the course is like a second job for me, so this learn by doing approach make the learning process easier.

The teachers and TAs are excellent, they  are always ready to answer our questions and assist us, besides observing how our development is going, and talk to us, if needed, or if we get stuck.

The facilities are always improving, and it is cool that they listen to our feedback, the same can be said about the lessons and exercises.

The only thing that it is a kind of problem, but I think it is necessary, it is that there is a tight deadline for the exercises deliverables, but it makes sense as in a company most of the time you have to work on a tight shift.
