Ironhack

I attended Ironhack Full time WebDev course in 2018. 
I was unhappy at my previous Career and began a research to explore other options. I looked into programming and all the job opportunities that comes with it. I started to learn by myself, but reached a point where i was not making any progress and was not able to find a job. 
As a Career changer, i needed to take the fastest train towards employment and started reading about Bootcamps. I decided that it was what i needed. I visited several other Bootcamps, reviewed prices, curriculum and outcomes. Ironhack seemed to be the best of all, specially after visiting the Miami Campus.

Compared to the other bootcamps i visited , Ironhack was by far the most impressive. With a great space, friendly people and really good energy from students and employees. 
I met Alex, the Admissions Manager, and he was incredibly friendly and attentive, answered all my questions and guided me through the process of making the final decision. 
Before being able to enroll, you need to pass a in-person coding Challenge that is fairly easy, if you study online prior to the challenge. I passed the test and started the bootcamp.

The main Instructor was very knowledgeable and the classes are very fast paced, so you really have to dedicate yourself to it if you want to actually learn and make it through.

The TA's are very helpful with your process of learning and understanding the problems that you will face. (usually the TA's are former students that didn't find a job and start working with Ironhack while looking for more opportunities; Pretty awesome help, feels like a safety net for some people).

The Curriculum is packed with huge amounts of information and you need to apply yourself to learn more everyday. Again, i cant stress this enough, Ironhack is an INCREDIBLE place to learn and grow as a professional, but if you dont apply yourself, i dont think its gonna work.

At the end of the Cohort, i had 3 big projects to show to possible employers with the most required technologies in the job market right now. The Job Placement experience has been hard BUT Daniel Brito,the Manager that takes care of it, is incredibly helpful and goes above and beyond to give you the best opportunities at all times (at least thats how i feel about it). 
Even though it might seem strange to be able to learn so much in so little time, The Ironhack experience was one of the toughest and most rewarding things i did in my life and i truly believe that i chose the best bootcamp possible; Not only on the Student/Curriculum perspective , but also with all the networking, interview preparation and real world experiences that they train their students for.

If you are looking for a bootcamp that will take you from 0 to hero, this is the place.

Let me start off by saying, enrolling in Ironhack's UX/UI bootcamp was one of the best decisions of my life. I went in with no design experience, whatsoever, and Ironhack helped me make the career switch that I needed. That being said, let me remind you that this is a bootcamp. It is intense, it is short (2 months), and everything you put into it is going to equal what you get out of it. The amount of tools that Ironhack provides you with: from the research methodologies to learning the industry's leading softwares to actual hands-on experience, is invaluable. However, all of it is completely useless unless you apply it to your work and build on it. Never be afraid to ask questions. Be inquisitive. Be curious. There are a million tools at your disposal, but one sprint (project) might require a different strategy than the last. This is your time to learn the tools, what they are useful for, and how to apply them to your work. Oh, and the learning never stops. From new design strategies to the myriad of research tools already out there, you'll always have something new to learn while practicing design. Use Ironhack as your launchpad, perhaps even mission control when you're lost, but don't expect it to fly your design-career-ship for you. With all that said, I highly recommend this bootcamp regardless of your background in design or UX. The staff is knowledgeable, passionate, and always open to any question you may have. Oh, and they got beer on tap. Nuff said.

I heard a lot of good things about the Ironhack before I got to the program, but when I got there it surpassed all my expectations. The instructors, the curriculum, and the staff created a process for me that is helping me fall right into step with the rest of the designers at my job. Of course two months can't teach you everything, but anything that you would be expected to know will be dicussed during class and applied through the projects that you take on. But beyond what I learned, Ironhack treated me like a family at every step in the process. Understanding and empathetic when I had issues, pushing me so that I can grow as a professional, and doing everything to set me up with a good position after except literally taking the interview with me. I took on a large risk when I decided to go into technology instead of law. Even still Looking around my office and how far I have come, I couldn't have made a better decision. 

I studied Business Administration at university (and specialized in Digital Marketing). After spending my last 2 years working, I decided to make a change in my working life. As I was working with web design, I wanted to go a step further and be able to develop my own projects. 

Ironhack has given me the opportunity to learn web development in a fast and efficient way.  It was two months of hard work, with many hours spent between lines of code. My life has given the turn I needed and I  highly recommend it to everyone who wants to learn and improve!!

Ironhack is the land of opportunity. An opportunity to learn a high-paying, technical skill in 9 weeks and get a job doing what you love. This opportunity, however, is only available to those who are willing to put in the work. 

Ironhack is a great place to network because they not only host meetup events, but also let the students know the best events going on each week. Also, every week there is a different person that is currently working in the field that comes in as a guest speaker. 

Brito is the "Placements Manager" and I've yet to see anyone more passionate about matching students with carreers. Brito is often found running around the school creating/maintaining contacts for carreer fairs to ensure every student has the maximum chance of successful job placement. He is a core component to student success with unmatched connections in the Miami tech industry and is highly regarded and respected. Brito always maintains a level of approachbility and availablity and is 100% committed to matching up students with the correct potential employers. Students normally interact with Brito near graduation time as he interviews every student and forms a relationship and pairs student traits to the best matching employers. He clearly takes great pride in his success rate in matching students to carreers and truly enjoys his role in student's success. 

That being said It is a very fast paced course, so come in prepared & stay organized. You get what you put into it.

I’ve just finished the fulltime Web Bootcamp in Ironhack Madrid and It has fulfilled my expectations.

I think that everything is designed and planned so that the students can get the most out of the time invested.

From my point of view, some of the points that make Ironhack a success bootcamp, are the following ones:

- The methodology, where everything is being learned is put into practice from the very first minute.

- The quality of teachers.

- The attention given to the content because students learn the most updated and recent technology.

- The care with which the didactic units are elaborated.

- The quality of the proposed exercises

- The seriousness with which they are faced with the professional future of students.

For all this and the fact of being able to achieve it in a record time (two months) I think it is an excellent training.

I've just finished the fulltime UX/UI bootcamp in Ironhack Madrid and I can say that I am more than happy of having applied to this course.

I used to work as a lawyer but I wasn't satisfied at all with my career. I have always been interested in psychology and design and I needed a fresh start, and Ironhack was what I was looking for.

I am so amazed of what I have achieved in this two months and the best thing about it is that it is just the beginning.

It doesn't matter if you do not have a tech or design background, the only requirement is to be ready to learn a lot of stuff (maybe more than what you can absorb).
