"Tableau, SQL, Excel"
When I signed up for this class, I thought I'd learn a few useful tidbits about how to analyze data, but I learned SO MUCH MORE. Plus, now I feel equipped to continue learning Tableau, SQL, and Excel on my own. I'm especially interested in learning SQL... Read More

"Great Course."
I found that the FEWD course was super great as I had previous limited knowledge on the subject. Over 6 Hours per week I was able to turn general web knowledge into marketable skills that are now accelerating me into other coding languages

"Crowded"
A friend recommended this course and found it really great. However, there were only 16 people in their class - there were 30 in mine. I felt sorry for the tutors having to deal with a large group of students with such a diverse range of skill and needs... Read More

"Put in the work and you'll get work out of it"
I took the Front End Web Development and UX part time courses in San Francisco. In both cases, the curricula for part time courses are incredibly solid. The instructors were very good at the subject as well as teaching. If you take initiative to schedule... Read More
So basically my advice is:
Nobody at GA is going to force you to do the most. They have designed a quality course that gives you the skill set, if you work at it.
If you want a job change or promotion out of this and are just doing the bare minimum, you have to consider explaining to an interviewer how doing 40-60 hours of work (a basic work week) is going to justify you being the right one for the job.
Come in with the attitude that you are here to put in work and the instructors will go out of their way for you
Do extra- go to meetups, do workshops, utilize office hours
And then you'll be thrilled with your results.

"Digital Marketing, General Assembly DC"
General Assembly truly changed my life and helped me reorient myself down a much better path, both professionally and personally. I came to GA with some skills in social media analytics (having been the token millennial throughout many internships & jobs... Read More
The course I took was not just a refresher, rather an enjoyable challenge each night. Once my instructors knew a bit about my background, they pushed me to learn deeper and go further with my skills on those nights where the material easily could have seemed like review without their help. I also learned so much from my classmates, and through them was able to see how the same marketing skills I was learning and applying to my niche situation could in turn be applied to VERY different types of situations. My instructors were available (either in person, or via email) whenever I needed them, and their excitement for the topics really re-energized me to tackle the challenges of learning new skills.
Overall, my 10-week experience with General Assembly was 10/10 (or better if that's allowed). It not only expanded my marketing skills well beyond what I expected, but it also gave me the confidence to make an exciting career change, which I've been thankful for each day since. My network of fellow classmates and instructors has been nothing but supportive since graduation, and have really helped me take my skills to the next level. Thank you for the AMAZING experience, GA!!!

Really comprehensive overview of the essentials of digital marketing. There is a good amount of depth -- not enough to get certified on every topic you cover, but the instructor points you to the resources you'd need to do so -- and a lot of breadth.... Read More

"Solid program"
The program is solid, well structured. It's slow in the beginning then moves really fast. The information you get from this class is a lot, if you're totally new to this industry it takes more than the class semester to absorb it, but that's a good thing!... Read More
I can only speak for myself and know one instructor. I assume any class, no matter how the class is structured, the quality of class absolutely depends on the instructor. Our's was good and our TA was good as well. One negative comment I'd give to the school related to the class I took is that they don't show who'll be teaching the class on their website till last munites (if they ever do). I had to call the school and get the infomarion, asked the background of the instructor etc. I presume something like that should be on the website. And one more thing, their ADM can be very unreliable.
