Despite the promises they made you before starting... the bootcamp does not fulfill the expectations. The level is so low and the lessons are not up to date. They had good hiring numbers because there were a lot of job offers, but the level you get when finishing is not good at all.- AnonymousGraduate • Data Analytics Bootcamp (Full-time) • BarcelonaNov 17, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Data Analytics Bootcamp
In general I'm pretty satisfied with the bootcamp as I was a "0 lines of codes written" student and I graduated building projects using AI and data analytics.
The main topics I think they could improve:
1. Update the curriculum. There was a lack of training regarding cloud engineering when it came to the point of extracting the data. This is something that I found lacking of when going to job interviews.

The main topics I think they could improve:
1. Update the curriculum. There was a lack of training regarding cloud engineering when it came to the point of extracting the data. This is something that I found lacking of when going to job interviews.
2. Instructors: My instructor was heading out of the institution so the general feeling in my class was that there was not a lot of effort in making us learn state of the art topics
3. Job Assistance: I find profoundly unfair that I only have access to interviews with possible recruiters up to 6 months after graduation. If I would have known this I would've probably waited until the pandemic crisis passed. At least in Spain it has been a nightmare.
4. Cohort building: My cohort was a mix between business graduates and STEM careers PhD's which was nice to get to know other people but we probably went more into AI rather than business analysis and this hurted my chances when it comes to job seeking. More business oriented training rather than "pneumonia detection" and "Nasa data" was the main point of discomfort.
At the end what you put in you get out and if you are more interested in the business side I strongly recommend you aim your projects towards business cases rather than "cool look at what I can do" type of projects. - AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp (Part-Time) • BerlinOct 13, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Corona experience - empty promises
After finishing on 25 July my Bootcamp I was very excited to finally get in contact with some companies. I did my career week as any normal student and they told us to read the material in the middle of the zoom meeting, which was a waste of time since you could read the material at home and not use 3 hours zoom meeting. After some days I found out that we would only get in contact with companies after 3 months.

I did my career week as any normal student and they told us to read the material in the middle of the zoom meeting, which was a waste of time since you could read the material at home and not use 3 hours zoom meeting. After some days I found out that we would only get in contact with companies after 3 months. They said their new FTI is even better than the quick interviews they provided before... So I matched with two companies two weeks ago but of course one of the companies was only looking for Product Developer (nothing to do with web development) and the other one was a CEO that I sent an email to, of course, did not reply. When I asked about it they told me to be patient... Here is the thing I have been waiting already for 2 months and a half, I was counting on Ironhack to find a job because I am on a work-seeker Visa and they have failed me. I asked for a refund since the course also did lose their quality going online and also did not get anything. If you are looking for a job Ironhack is not enough since most of the companies use other technologies like PHP, SQL, or GraphQL things you don't learn in this course, search for it online and you will see no companies use MongoDB very few of them does. Think twice before paying a huge amount of money since it will not guarantee you a job position. From 15 persons that graduated our batch only two that I know got jobs because they had contacts. The teacher was very good and professional the only thing that might be worst to pay but not 7500 euros. - AnonymousGraduate • Front-End Web Development • MiamiAug 26, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

An Honest Review
Overall, I'm happy about my experience in Ironhack. To preface, I had zero technical background and graduated so if I can do it, you can too! That being said, some things to consider ---
1. It is a lot of hard work normally, but especially if you don't have a strong technical background get ready to put in extra work/time/dedication before and after class and through your weekends.

1. It is a lot of hard work normally, but especially if you don't have a strong technical background get ready to put in extra work/time/dedication before and after class and through your weekends.
2. After all that grinding, you are able to produce 3 awesome projects (which you will be very proud of). However, your overall grasp on web development is still pretty shallow so be prepared to continue learning and deepening your knowledge even after graduation. This bootcamp is a great starting point!
And lastly, 3. Even though this class is remote and invites students from anywhere, it is still focused towards South Florida particularly during Career Week where they help you search for jobs and prep you for interviews. Although they do teach you how to search for jobs (with this skill it's applicable to wherever you are), but many of their references to jobs, companies, connections, speakers, fast track interviews matchmaking system, etc. are all Florida-based, so people who don't live there may feel excluded. The career department for all USA students is a one man show - Granted he is very knowledgeable and has much wisdom to offer, but I hope Ironhack hires more people to support in this area as the graduates' career needs are surely growing and beyond the limits of just one person.
Overall, the experience was good, the instructors were GREAT, I cried, I laughed, I learned a lot, and it's worth the money. - AnonymousGraduate • UX/UI Design • MiamiAug 18, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Job assistance curriculum is good, but I have found the support from career staff to be lacking. Career assistance staff is spread way too thin and you can tell that they are trying to make some students ineligible for support to make it less burdensome on them based on a "terms and conditions page" that you signed at the beginning. Bottom Line: more job assistance staff is needed. - AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp (Full-time) • BerlinApr 27, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great way to change career
I have a design background and I've never coded before I started Ironhack. I had an amazing experience during the Bootcamp, with a great content structure and staff support. The teacher was incredible, one of the best that I've had. I've not just learned how to code in Javascript but also how to learn other languages by myself. After two months that I've completed the Bootcamp, I started to work at the developer field. - AnonymousGraduate • BerlinApr 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I will try to be as honest as possible.
Before the course starts, students must complete prework assignments based off an online learning platform. The platform was a good start but didn’t always provide all necessary information or enough examples to completely understand the material. The TAs are available to help, but in my experience they didn’t always get back to me right away (I later learned why—the TAs are extremely overworked). The prework needs improving because there’s no good way to accurately see if you’ve learned enough before the course starts, even by completing the two assignments.
As for the course itself: class was from 9-18:00 but if you’re taking it seriously, you’ll stay several extra hours to complete the lab assignments. It’s lots of self-learning. The website is accurate in its structure of the day, with lectures and labs interspersed. They’re good at giving you lots of breaks, which you’ll need. The TAs are amazing and work hard to help you, sometimes sitting down for long periods of time to debug your code. Personally I think they did more than the teacher and deserve more pay/credit.
On the other hand, the fact that TAs can help you whenever and assignments are often done with partners, it’s hard to know if you truly understand the material. You might be completing assignments after receiving help from others, so it’s hard to gauge whether you’ve comprehended it all. Personally I felt like my TAs coded my entire first project because I didn’t understand any of it, while the feedback from the TAs was very positive. I therefore felt there was a huge discrepancy because they couldn’t truly see how people were doing. When I tried to advocate for myself, they always just told me I was doing fine.
The projects overall are a great way to break into a new career. You’ll learn a lot and add to your portfolio. Additionally, you’ll do 1-2 daily labs, mini projects, so you’ll build up a good foundation. After the bootcamp I think learning online would be impossible. IH barely scratches the surface of what a developer needs to know (just because it can’t in such a short time), and to learn the same amount without a bootcamp would take years, especially without help from peers.
On the other hand, I personally think IH isn’t the right bootcamp anymore. Perhaps it once was, but its career services leave something to be desired (in the case of my class: a career). Our hiring week took place right before Christmas, so it might as well not have happened, as no one hires then anyway. After that, we received only a couple emails within the three months after graduating, not nearly enough compared to the services promised. They also weren’t overly available for meetings so scheduling usually wasn’t instantaneous, and my meetings were short and seemingly unproductive. They told me things I already know. More frustrating is the fact that of all the people in my class looking for a new job, only a small number got hired within those three months, probably well below a 50% hiring rate, or even 30%. I don’t want to give a solid number but can say that the majority of students looking for a job from my class still has not found one.
Overall, a bootcamp may or may not be a good decision, but for the financial and physical and mental health costs, IH is not the best choice. - AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp (Full-time) • BerlinApr 02, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
