    Coding at GA is awesome

    I recently completed FEWD at General Assembly Sydney and couldn’t recommend it more! Jay is a legend and the course materials set me up to succeed in my current role. One highlight for me was celebrating with all my classmates and the Instructional and Production Teams at the end of the course! Couldn’t recommend more!

    Drinking from the firehose

    An incredible (and practical) introduction to data science. I wish college courses were like this. It was so much information. Since we applied everything we learned I got a lot out of this class and can do a lot more than I expected I would with only 60 hours of class time. For me, pre work and homework too about double the estimated time but it was definitely worth the effort. Those with prior experience in either sta...

    Just Do It

    I had no development experience prior to attending this course, and was completely unsure what to expect. I can only say that it was the best thing I could have possibly done for my career. 18 months later I'm still loving my new career and couldn't have done it without the support of the people at GA in Sydney. It was a hard 3 months but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I had so much fun throughout, and I couldn't have asked for more support from my instructors and the rest of the team...

    UX Design Immersive - NYC

     

    GA was one of the best decisions and experiences in my life, mainly due to the amazing leaders here and the community of people that I have met, that will be long lasting relationships. It has certainly enriched my life. 

    I graduated from the General Assembly UXDI program at the NY campus, in December 2017. I am now 2 weeks into my first full-time UX Designer position and couldn't be happier.

    I had such wonderful and dedicated mentors. I am extremely impress...

    Product Management Intensive

    The course was heavily overpriced for anyone not being covered by work.

    The curriculum and instructors did not provide a thoroughly instructive approach for any form of "product manager."

    The course attempts to instruct would-be and aspiring entrepreneurs on the basics of business and product management, while also claiming to and attempting to cover the nuances of actual product management within an established company -- failing to sufficiently train in either.

    Web Dev Immersive

    Well run course. The material clearly guides you to sufficient knowledge to make very impressive websites using HTML 5, CSS, Javascript, jQuery, Ruby on Rails and various databases.
    The instructor was first rate and this was a very positive experience for me.

    GA Web Development Immersive

    This course ticked every box for me - excellent instructors with a balance of strong knowledge, great teaching methods and a sense of humour; challenging and engaging course material; combo of class work and autonomous projects; real sense of community. The pace is fast and I had a little bit of exposure to (non-web-dev) coding before starting, so I found that the speed and level of engagement expected was perfect for me. That being said I was doing hours and hours of coding outside ...

    Digital Marketing Course

    The course gives a clear overview of all the aspects concerning Digital Marketing. As a CEO of an on-line startup it is a good way to have an overall picture of how to set-up your marketing team and, from a business perspective, set-up your business objectives according to your value proposition, marketing personas and following marketing decisions, in which channels and so on. The course is really fast paced and full of information to absorbe.

    This was a real game changing experience for me. Having been a UI designer that "dabbled" in UX, it totally opened my eyes to a new way of thinking and working. So glad I did the course and can't wait to dive right in with everything i've learnt!

    Data Analytics

    The course is an excellent training on excel, tableau, SQL and the best practices behind data analytics. I especially loved my instructor's real-world experience, and he was able to give great career advice during office hours as well as great teaching on the subject matter. The structure of the course is very project-based, and through it I'm able to have a polished portfolio piece that I'm leveraging in my job search process. Highly recommend!
