I had a fantastic experience when studying at Ironhack. Ironhack has good standardized materials and culture: beer nights, having brunch together, slack channels that you can join (transparent and proactive communication is essential so that the information does not only reach certain people), a cozy interior to do tasks, alum panel, the atmosphere was very chill and friendly but serious!- AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp (Full-time) • OnlineNov 30, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Web Development Bootcamp - My best decision!
I fully recommend this bootcamp to anyone willing to start a career in tech. I enrolled in the web development program without any previous coding knowledge and I landed a permanent job in a well-known company immediately after. The curriculum, the teachers, the job support, the alumni events, and the overall spirit of students and staff members are amazing. I'm forever grateful to Ironhack! - AnonymousGraduate • UX/UI Design Bootcamp (Full-Time) • OnlineNov 28, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Save your money
Look elsewhere. If you want to actually learn what you need to know to get a career, choose a different boot camp. My instructor was not an actual teacher and teaching was his side gig. I didn't learn anything useful for UI there is no job guarantee. I do not know of any past students that went on to actually have a career in what they went to school for. Ironhack is a huge scam. They will take your money and run. - AnonymousStudent • Web Development Bootcamp (Full-time) • BerlinNov 27, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. Don't choose this bootcamp!
Technically, not a scam. But it really feels like it is..
the course has 36 students or more, they told me it would be like 15 or so in the beginning..
the teachers are extremely inexperienced and not prepared... friendly but not helpful. They are pretty much graduates from this course who turn to... teacher... HOW??
so many people are very unhappy. Please, do yourself a favor, and choose another bootcamp. - AnonymousGraduateJul 25, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Web dev
not recommended!! The good rating and school marketing is quite misleading, as it's not fit for beginners neither it is a solid education that qualifies to find a job directly afterwards. For me it was a waste of money and overwhelming experience, huge amount of informations in short time, we did not have enough time to practice or digest what we were learning. Homework weren't corrected individually.

Worst bootcamp provider
I had a terrible experience. I was sold the image by what I saw online and the placement rates are totally fake. The bootcamp does a good job at keeping students happy by giving them swags, having ironbeers on fridays and a good graduation ceremony. But does a terrible job in educating us. The content taught is more or less obsolete and not enough to land a good tech job. The ones that have landed have had to work hard for months after graduating and also had prior experience.

Don't get sold the idea that 9 weeks is enough to learn. It takes months more to be good at your craft. I would recommend chosing other providers over this one. It's highly over priced. The content taught is all available on the internet for free. My teacher was a past student and had very little knowledge in programming. - AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp (Full-time) • BerlinJun 07, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Waste of money
The whole content is something I could have learnt myself online. The teacher was amazing but the company overall lacked communication and over sold the bootcamp. The campus is great but the price of the bootcamp is overpriced. - AnonymousStudent • Data Analytics Bootcamp (Full-time) • AmsterdamOct 29, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The reviews on GitHub are fast, you can apply to jobs with a horrible GitHub and not know it, you leave without knowing how to make a good GitHub. Personally I complained and they ignored me and now that I have a job they write to me to use me as an example and publicity, many people who come out as an example of success in Ironhack did not get help from Ironhack. It is very expensive for what they offer. The career week is about making your CV and very basic things, we didn't improve our GitHub, there was no networking and they didn't help us at all to make a portfolio, I don't recommend it. - AnonymousOnlineOct 07, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

A bit dissapointing
Cuando te inscribes en un bootcamp de 7000 € evidentemente lo haces con la expectativa de encontrar un trabajo bien remunerado y en poco tiempo. Eso es lo que prometen estos bootcamps y eso es lo que a fin de cuentas les permite justificar esas cifras tan elevadas. Desafortunadamente esto ya no es así. Los alumnos graduados en epoca covid tardan meses en encontrar trabajo ahora, y sin embargo el precio del bootcamp es el mismo.

Eso es lo que prometen estos bootcamps y eso es lo que a fin de cuentas les permite justificar esas cifras tan elevadas. Desafortunadamente esto ya no es así. Los alumnos graduados en epoca covid tardan meses en encontrar trabajo ahora, y sin embargo el precio del bootcamp es el mismo. Cuando te apuntas al bootcamp desde Ironhack te dicen que el 80% de los alumnos encuentran trabajo en 3 meses, lamentablemente esto es mentira. La famosa Hiring Week, que es la última semana del bootcamp en la cual vienen empresas a fichar alumnos recién salidos simplemente no existe. Te dan cuatro charlas por zoom y te dicen que te hagas linkedin, ya está. No hay ningún tipo de contacto con ninguna empresa, cero. Las personas que se encargan de ayudar a los alumnos a encontrar trabajo hacen lo que pueden pero por lo visto no conocen muy bien los conocimientos que tienen los alumnos ya que de las poquísimas ofertas que comparten con nosotros algunas piden PHP, SQL, tecnologías que no se enseñan en el bootcamp. El bootcamp es lo que es, un negocio para los fundadores. Hace dos años puede que mereciera la pena pero ahora mismo no ya que no vas a encontrar tan rápido como ellos prometen. - AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp (Part-Time) • BerlinJan 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Still looking for a job
If you are going to pay for this course with your savings I recommend you not to do it!!! If it is paid by Job-center totally recommended (So try to get job centers to help to pay it.)
Reasons why the price is too high for what they offer:
- One reason is what Ironhack promises they don't deliver.

Reasons why the price is too high for what they offer:
- One reason is what Ironhack promises they don't deliver.
- Ironhack just teaches you the very basics. If you are applying for a job you might encounter a Test where you don't know what to do because Web Development is such a wide area that you will find a lot of stuff that of course, you will not cover in the course.
Things that they don't teach you and are very important in the industry are for example SQL, GraphQL, React Hooks, Redux and Typescript.
- Fast Track Interviews (FTI) are not reliable. I have gotten some matches but with unprofessional companies and some not even a Web Developer position. (and of course, most of the companies don't even answer). So don't rely on them for looking for a job because I am already since 6 months without a job applying like crazy everywhere.
- Nevertheless are still people in my batch that found jobs, some by contacts and some (like 3 and we were 15) in a hard way, some did already had jobs and stayed in their position. The ones that found a job in a hard way were by opportunities (that they mentioned as luck) but luck is also an important factor to find a job. But of course, after paying that amount of money by yourself you feel left alone.
- Ironhack does offer workshops for Redux and Typescript but again they cost you extra money (approx 215€).
- The teachers were very good and amazing the only reason I had fun programming and started this journey.
#PeaceOut
Hope you find my honest review helpful!
(Helpful reminder is that they don't give any refunds and if you drop out they charge you the weeks you were in the course)

Not worth the money
Lack of professionalism through and through. Teacher assistants are not experienced nor capable enough to be help. Not worth the money. Learnt more by myself on YouTube.
