Ironhack

I found Ironhack while searching for a good UX/UI Design course. I started remote fulltime bootcamp without too many expectations, thinking how much can I even get out of this and how much is just marketing. I was sceptical about learning so much in such... Read More a short amount of time and on top of that remote! I have to say that with the right mindset and effort, Ironhack will guide you on every step of the way towards your dream career. The classes were intense but so enriching. I had an excellent and experienced Lead Teacher and Teacher Assistant that I am still in contact with. We were a small classroom of 11, which is pretty rare, and former classmates together with the teaching team created a great atmosphere. Curriculum-wise, we had few projects among which there were two projects with real life clients. We learned the fundamentals of UX/UI design and how to be independent at the end of the day and choose appropriate methods for each challenge. I had to skip a Career week, but I know that my former classmates had a great experience there as well. Altogether, I formed amazing connections with now fellow designers and some very close friendships, I learned a lot and I am now working in the field. :)

My favorite part of this BootCamp was how everyone I met there was very helpful and understanding. Everyone always helped each other with any troubles they had and we always had a good dynamic. The only thing that I didn't like the most was that the labs... Read More in the school learning platform, they were quite buggy and sometimes even unusable. It is understandable that it can be hard, but for a fast-paced educational organization I felt like those things should be top-notch!

An amazing challenge. I was full-time working and a part-time student. I cannot lie that was a challenge but at the same time the part time bootcamp allowed me to still work and getting paid. Besides that we have more time to acknowledge all the things... Read More that we are learning and more time to work on all our projects and homework.

hello, First of all I would like to express my joy for completing this bootcamp and gaining nice skills and good connections. then I would list my experience below: Pleasant experiences: 1. The process of enrollment was easy. 2. In terms of knowledge... Read More and character, teacher, TAs and coaches were awesome. 3. Nice standups and warm up that got us ready for the day. 4. Loved the collaboration style when doing the labs with classmates. 5. TAs were really hard working and caring. Things that could be better: 1. There could be a nice intro to how to start and perform during the bootcamp for first timers. I was so confused in first week. 2. Sometimes the teaching style was vague and not clear enough for me (and for some other students), so it was hard to understand what actually he was doing when teaching a new topic. 3. Waiting time for TAs to come for support while doing labs was long. Therefore, sometimes we ended up with many unsolved questions at the end of the day. 4. There could be support for students struggling with lessons at the end of the week. 5. module 3 needed more detailed lessons and more time. having 2weeks to learn react was a nightmare for me.

I was a nurse, I felt unmotivated and frustated with my job, so I decided to change my carreer path so I would have better life quality. I joined Ironhack Lisbon to the Web Development Bootcamp in April2022. The bootcamp is structured in a way that allows... Read More us to learn progressively. It takes place during 9 weeks, 3 modules. In the first 2 weeks of each module, we learn new content in the morning and in the afternoon we have labs to practice what we have learned. Every day the dificulty level increases, so that we can create new and more complex things. The third week of each module is the project week, where we have the chance to delevop our project, created from scratch by us. It was the best part of the bootcamp, because it was the moment where we mixed it all together and came up with something of our own. After this 3 modules, there was a Carreer week and we had guidance for job searching. They give you all the structure and support needed, and success will come if you are willing to commit and work for it. In April I had absolutely no background in Tech. 2 months after the bootcamp endend, I landed my first job in tech.

I was a Junior Designer, frustrated with the job opportunities available in my country. Ironhack showed me that it wasn't too late to shift careers and enroll in a new market where your hard work is valued. It is amazing the effort that all the staff... Read More puts to prepare you for a new world in just 2 months, and all the support they give you during job hunt! Thank you Ironhack!

I participated in the Remote Full Stack Developer Bootcamp at Ironhack, and it was the best choice of my life. On the first class, they asked about our goals and dreams, and actually I got my dream job before the bootcamp ended. :) But I have to say,... Read More I was taking learning very seriously, already during the preparation work, so I had a good basis to start the "real learning" process. Our teacher was amazing, he was supporting me all the way and I felt really-really motivated by him. I also tried to solve every "labs"that we got as a homework, and was working very hard on the 3 projects at the end of the modules. It was also amazing, that we were learning how to do pair-programming, because before that I was very reluctant and wanted to work immediately, but then I was paired with the most amazing and hard-working girl in the universe and we were inspiring each other very much. The written material for the first 2 modules was awesome, during the React part I felt, that it needed a little bit of an update. All in all => a lot of learning, a lot of effort, I was tired many times, but the motivation that they gave me brought me forward. I loved it and it helped me to start a new career. I will be always grateful for this experience!

In my opinion for this bootcamp it is very important to have some background in something related to data atmosphere ( not coding itself).For people who didn't have nothing like data related it could be very complicated, speaking for part time bootcamp... Read More In my case I was working and doing the bootcamp at the same time and I felt not comfortable with the speed 🚅 of the classes. I felt with a lot of disadvantages. (In my opinion) for the future I think the professor's must be more present with the students with more difficulties.I felt that because I was not used to the type of environment related to data processing or even Excel and had not much support from my teacher in the first part of the course. In my opinion for the premium price you pay I think they need to improve in teachers for all kinds of people, specially when you have people with more difficult to understand some subjects/matters. More then know the code or the subjects for me more than knowing the subject is transmitting the information to the students. That's what makes a good professional and I think that part failed in the first half of the course.

The course, in general, met all my expectations and even ensured my hiring in this field as a Data Analyst in an American company. As it is a more dynamic and hands-on course option, I learned quickly and intuitively, and I have acquired the necessary... Read More skills and knowledge to enter the job market more safely. There are points that could be improved: the need to review the materials, availability of exercises answers (sometimes not even the teachers' results were similar), better formatting of the final projects of each module (such as providing pre-selected options of topics/themes).

The teacher and assistants are very qualified and pedagogical, they really take the time to explain the important concepts and are ready to help at any time when you feel in difficulty. The projects and exercises are excellent for progress. The program... Read More is well structured and very complete.
