HyperionDev

I am nearing the end of my Immersive Full Stack and Software Engineering bootcamp with HyperionDev, and the experience has been spectacular! With this bootcamp, I have learnt so much more about front-end and back-end web development and software engineering than what I would have learnt on my own. The course is structured very well and progressively gets more complex, as every new task builds on the concepts from previous tasks and you begin to see how everything fits together. The mentors and code reviewers are very knowledgeable and are very willing to help you if you are stuck on a task. I also appreciate the fact that the mentors and code reviewers always give you constructive criticism regardless of whether you get 100% for a task or less. I am very excited to soon be assisted by HyperionDev's career services to enter the job market upon submission of my final task. Read less

I have learnt so much since the beginning of of this course and my learning with Hyperion Dev. I am so grateful for the consistency and the guidance I've received through the duration of the course. I have to also express my gratitude to Warrick Sabatta for being attentive and very helpful when I have been stuck in a tough spot. I've learned so much and I really have learnt so much and fallen a bit in love with development and the tech space. So I am very grateful to the team and organisation in helping me get this far. Thanks Warrick and the Team! Read less

Very poor course material (PDFs in a dropbox) - Unprepared lecturers and sketchy connections - Very time consuming "Build Your Brand" task where you are asked to source recruiter and hiring manager contacts for HyperionDev - Mentors only available after 1-2 weeks so not help when stuck - Even if you finish all tasks perfectly, you will not get a certificate of completion UNLESS YOU YOURSELF secure an interview. - You will only be eligible for a possible university co-certification if you also secure a job (by yourself of course) by a set deadline. - Skills taught are VERY basic.

Do not fall for the fake reviews about Hyperion dev. Do proper research before signing up to this terrible bootcamp. You will waste a lot of money like I did, which I am deeply regretting now. If you want to see real reviews then just search them on reddit and you will really get the gist of it. It seems like they have payed people to write good reviews about them and that they block, silence or threaten anyone who writes negative reviews about them. Go and check out Trust pilot and you will see that they have flagged a lot of reviews.. God forbid anyone says anything bad about them or exposes the truth about them.. There is a massive lack of staff it seems so response rate is very slow and support seems non-existent when it is urgent. I have waited up to three weeks to get responses from the student support department, to the point where I had to tag the staff on a Discord group chat to get their attention. The course content somehow seems incomplete as most tasks (especially the capstone projects) do not relate to what has been learned in the 'pdfs'. Also shocking that it is a supposed tech company but they don't even have a proper student dashboard where one can obtain the course material. They basically give you a Dropbox link where you can download pdf files which are highly superficial level. You can teach yourself more from the internet (and for free), and you will get more knowledge than what you can ever get in their incomplete 'pdf' course work. They boast that you will be career ready after taking their bootcamps and almost promise that you will get a job after completing it but most of the student job success is because they hire past students the be teachers and mentors for the next year.

Course materials were really poor. The data visualisation examples could have been used as examples of what not to do. I work in this field and it felt like the materials were written by someone with no experience in it at all Concepts were introducedin the compulsory tasks that were missing from the notes and example code. Some element of self-directed learning is fine, but it felt like they had just forgotten to mention them. Some of the sample code just didn't run, and mentors were unable to work out why Some of the tasks could not possibly give the required output, and again mentors could not explain why. Read less

They kicked out students from their discord server who dare to complain. -They changed the half of the tasks to optional to reduce the number of the drop out students. -Force you to apply for jobs from day 1 without any experience or learning (sincethey get the money from DfE after the student got an interview) -Lecturer has no experience at all and we were sitting on a lecture for 1 hour to see that the lecturer cannot solve a problem. -You cannot book a mentor for 1 to 1 since they don't have enough mentors or not even comes to the meeting after you got a date. -They started to flag negative feedbacks here to try to make their feedbacks better. -They removed their UK branch to remove Google review since they had nearly 2 stars feedback on it(so now you can find them only in Africa).

The course and company are woeful. Poor and outright incorrect information and learning materials, toxic culture, and misadvertised in multiple ways. Please take my words on board and avoid this course. Your time will be much better spent elsewhere and you will not learn anything you cannot learn in a more accessible/engaging way on YouTube.

The real course content you will be taught on the software engineer bootcamp is woefully inadequate to set you up for a job - it doesn't even cover some extremely basic skills that you'll need e.g. APIs. I am begging you just to take these reviews seriously. I think HD themselves are leaving fake 5 star reviews here because all the students are fuming about this. Read less

In short: - Would you like to be ignored for WEEKS with emails sent to their support team? - Would you like to learn by reading poorly written PDFs with vague content? - Would you like to be guided by other inexperienced "mentors" which are just theirrecent BootCamp graduates? - Would you like to have a 1hr lecture with the instructor being disconnected for 30mins? - Would you want more than 60% of your course material marked as OPTIONAL and be told you are job ready while you only have learned the basic "Hello World" and writing a simple for-loop? AND THIS IS DEFINITELY THE RIGHT COURSE FOR YOU!!! To find out more, just read other comments here and you will understand the TRUE NATURE of HyperionDev (And for all those 5* reviews, yes they are all real, they are all written by their real students, they did not receive any incentives to leave those positive comments, as you can see they are definitely not vaguely written, and you should really take them seriously :P) Read less

I self-funded this course. I enjoyed the first few modules, and I am generally good in self-studying. However, the pdf lessons were just lacking content in relation to completing the assignments, and I had to do more research. 1:1 mentor support had been unavailable twice, and they were not knowledgeable enough to answer my coding queries. Unfortunately, I had to stop the course after the 1st month due to illness and finance issues. But guess what, they still wanted me pay the full tuition. There were several breeches in their contract. I had to raise complaints with the affiliated Uni and Department of Education. I'm surprised that I'm not the only one facing these issues. This bootcamp was well advertised (posters on trains, adds on Facebook), and it had good & unrealistic promises, but the teaching method has not delivered. Their model seems like a kickstarter & a money making scheme, and like the others commenting below, I will raise them to court if necessary. They deserve more attention from the media. Read less

There exists now a huge community of students that are incredibly disillusioned with Hyperiondev. The course is of extremely poor quality, almost no interactivity, extremely limited content and many topics that are advertised are not taught.

Hyperiondev has been silencing students who speak out by kicking them off the course unfairly. On other websites it seems they have been leaving themselves lots of good reviews.

If you go on Trustpilot, go on company info, and you can see: over 75% of reviews that they took down, were reinstated by Trustpilot for NOT actually breaking community guidelines.

I have had a good experience studying data science with HyperionDev. I chose the 6 month part time online option as it made the most sense while working full time. It has been great choice as I had full flexibility in when I could complete the studies and tasks. The first two levels are quite straightforward as the course material is very thorough in teaching you the basics. Mentors mark tasks quickly and give individualized feedback which is greatly appreciated. The third level - Machine Learning, is quite a bit tougher as the tasks are a little more taxing. However, as a student, you can book a call with a mentor to go over the difficulties you are facing within the tasks. Their assistance is invaluable in helping you to understand the content. HyperionDev was also very accommodating to me when I was unable to complete all the tasks within 6 months due to the birth of my son - they provided course extensions without me having to pay extra for the extension.

Hyperion Dev’s software engineer boot camp has been a great start into the world of software development. It is a thorough course that helps one understand the fundamentals as well as the intricacies of coding. Doing this course part-time has allowed me to learn whilst still being able to work a full time job.  Read less

I am happy to write a positive review about a coding bootcamp!


I recently started a coding bootcamp and I must say, it was an excellent experience. The program was well-structured and covered a broad range of topics in web development. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and always available to answer questions and provide guidance. The curriculum was designed to provide a strong foundation in front-end and back-end development, including HTML, CSS, Python, and Django.


One of the things I appreciated most about this bootcamp was the emphasis on hands-on experience. Throughout the program, we worked on real-world projects and built a portfolio of work that showcased our skills and abilities. The program also included networking events and job search support, which was invaluable in helping me land a job in the tech industry.


Overall, I would highly recommend this coding bootcamp to anyone looking to break into the world of web development. It provided me with the skills, experience, and connections I needed to launch my career in tech, and I am grateful for the opportunities it has opened up for me. Read less

The course content is good for beginners who have just entered the tech space and lack practical experience coding. And the mentors are very helpful and detailed in their explanations and lectures. But to be honest, the Joburg campus is a bit understaffed which forces students to be more self reliant when solving problems that aren't too challenging. And since Django happened to update it's framework during my course, completing Level 2 became more time consuming since our mentors had to relearn parts of Django with us students.

Other than that it's a decent course for people who don't know how to code, just be ready to not have a social life for those 3 to 6 months. Read less

I am doing the Hyperion Software Engineering 6-month online course. With this self-paced course, you get engaging lessons, expert instructors who make even the most challenging software engineering topics simple, and an excellent resource for getting a head start on your career. The tasks are explained well and give you enough information to complete them. The course also encourages you to do research and develop your own solutions to the tasks. Read less

I do not recommend this institution, there is better content in Udemy courses for way less than a Quarter of the price. The structure of the course is unorganized as lessons are only taught after you are required to do the task. The chance of you getting an entry level job is very low after doing the course as they do not teach you enough content. The mentors are overworked with meetings booked weeks in advanced, and there is an average of 1 - 2 weeks wait time for assistance as there are no slots open. Assistance is basically none existent. I do not blame the mentors as they have a number of students to mark. I blame the institution for biting off more than they can chew. Having finished the course more than a year ago, I did not have enough experience to do the job that I have now. I spent days studying and learning off Udemy courses and other sources which gave me the knowledge and confidence to do the job. Read less

Great experience with Hyperion Dev. The quality of the material on the Software Engineering Bootcamp is very very high. Very greatful for the way the mentors guide you through the work and also taking time to explain things you just do not get. I wish I had known about them a long time ago. I have been on the bootcamp for 6 months, and this took away all the fear of programming. Read less

I get help whenever i reach out to the mentors for help.  I also get good reply and satisfying from the support department. 
I have really improved in coding since i started with Hyperion, though it requires a lot of hard work but its worth it. I am glad Read less

The experience was good although there are a few things that I was abit unhappy with. I felt the communication was abit slow, perhaps due to the amount of students versus the mentors, but it did slow me down abit because it took a while to get help when I was stuck. But other than that, the curriculum was good, challenging but very informative. The requirements were clear. The support team was extremely helpful and offered good services.  Read less
