Ironhack

I was like many other people, skeptical about Ironhack and even coding bootcamps in general, but I did my research months before I joined. My experience has been that before, throughout, and after joining Ironhack, Ironhack is definitely the best coding bootcamp in Miami, FL (comparing it to Wyncode and UM). Not only is the building and location great, but the staff and fellow classmates make it every bit worth the while... plus career services!

The material taught for Full-Stack Web Development is very relevant to the Miami tech community and for many locations nationally. I’m not going to say that I enjoyed every single thing that was taught because some of it (small portion) turned out to be irrelevant, but what’s great is that they take your feedback into consideration and can update the curriculum. I know the curriculum was updated to remove the irrelevant material and was replaced with better material for the cohort that followed mine.

During, and after you graduate, you have extensive job assistance opportunities like (Linkedin and resume help and a career fair), you just have to make sure you’re putting in the effort. No one is guaranteed a job, nowhere are you really it’s all about your efforts in the job hunt, but you are guaranteed the skills and tools that will be relevant in the workforce for a Full-Stack Development job. I know the price is a factor for a lot of people, but you’ll find that it’s much cheaper than studying at a college/university and you’re done a lot sooner with a large skillset under your belt.

I hope this helps remove any doubts you might have about joining Ironhack! :)

- Ironhack Alumn that's now a Front-End Web Developer

Ironhack was perfect for the moment i was living when i first got here. I was looking forward to change my career completely. The school gave me new perspectives of what i could be and do and amplified my horizon through the events, talks and people that i met.
Now, down to the chase:
Positives: the content of the course is very complete (you get to know a little bit of everything), people that work here are awesome and eager to help you to have a great experience
Negatives: disorganized (information, payment, etc), there's a sense of community that happens locally, but i don't sense it is a global community (something that they "sell")

The Web Development Bootcamp was the best experience of the past years of my life, both professionally and personally. The teachers and TAs are very competent and helpful. They put a lot of effort into making sure the curriculum focuses on the most relevant/current topics and technologies. Mili and the career team are amazing - they support you from day one. The whole team really creates a positive and supportive learning atmosphere, so you never feel embarrassed to ask a question or ask for help when you're struggling. And in the end everyone celebrates everyone else's achievements in the projects and job hunt! I got two job offers within two weeks of finishing the course. I took a job in Vienna with a starting salary of €42K annually plus benefits and a relocation bonus. This course really empowered me to believe in myself as a coder and change from a career where I felt very stuck, undervalued, and unhappy.

I decided to do a bootcamp in data analysis at Ironhack and it was one of my best decisions ever!

I did this bootcamp far away from  my hometown, because I wanted to have a total change. And it was good. Away from home, away from distraction of my daily life, I could focus 100% on it. But this is also neccessary. You don´t only spend 8 hours a day there to become a data analyst, you put your whole effort on it (and this means always more than 8 hours working). However you spend this "working" hours with your new colleagues, your new friends, your new family! The great thing is, they are all so interested in achieving your common goal - to become a data analyst in 9 weeks, that the way towards this goal is also a lot of fun. Sure, the time is very hard and I got to my personal limits, but when you organize your daily life well, focus on it to 100% and get this great support from your team mates and the amazing ironhack staff, you will do it! 

I´m still impressed what I was aible to achieve during this 9 weeks. I never expected this. I had no previous knowledge, now I´m able to write codes in python, create beautiful plots in tableau and predict future sales based on machine learning and many other cool new things.

If you decide to do a bootcamp at Ironhack, I recommend you to ask who´s going to be your teacher, ask previous alumnis or the ironhack staff, because this teacher will teach you the whole 9 weeks and since there are a lot of other campus in the world, you can choose this one with the best teacher, to get the best results.

Nonetheless I have to say that the ironhack staff supports you in almost every thing when you have any trouble related to this bootcamp, they try immediatly to change things to create such an enviroment that you are able to focus again on your work to 100%. I never had this before in a previous job nor university.

So great job! thx!

The truth is, as an attendee in Ironhack, I was beyond surprised with how the bootcamp developed. I learned the tools ready for the job market and I feel more than confident with my skills to learn, implement, and practice any project that a company or business requires. The staff in Ironhack Mexico was beyond excellent, I was surprised with the continued support that everyone in the staff provided. I do recommend to anyone that wants to attend this camp has some previous learning in order to get a better experience. Do the prework that they require but also go beyond and try to learn more programming. If you expect going into the bootcamp without having any interest in programming you may discover that programming is not for you, but this won't be the bootcamps fault rather than yours. Ironhack offers great tools for the job market, a great career work support, and an amazing staff that will become your family. In truth, they do their best to prepare you but most of it falls on you.

When I first started my web development bootcamp, I was kinda scared about the enormous amount of information that we would be learning during the following 9 weeks.  I seemed huge...extremely difficult! However, as we started our classes and got to know our teachers, I realized that I didn't need to worry. We had the best teachers who had the best attitude towars us. We learnt more than what I thought was possible. And we also became a part of Ironhack's family. This is a great option for someone who wants to become an excellent developer and who want to face new challenges.

Pues sí, repetiría, con todo lo que ello implica. Durante 9 semanas mi vida personal se esfumó prácticamente por completo (vivía con el miedo de que mi hija un día no me reconociera xD) pero realmente vale la pena. El bootcamp es intenso y hay que trabajar muy duro, pero con la ayuda de mis compañeros (pasamos muchas horas juntos y eso, quieras que no, hace equipo) y el soporte de todo el staff, te sientes como en casa y apoyado en todo momento. Ya no es solo lo que aprendes a nivel técnico, a nivel personal también es una experiencia súper enriquecedora.
