    Part-time Data Science at GA

    The Data Science course at GA was excellent!

    As anyone who has any prior knowlege of the field would expect, the curriculium is quite broad, and as a result the part-time course does not go in depth in any areas, but rather takes you through the basics in as many areas as it can in 10 weeks. I imagine the full-time course would provide a more conclusive education, but i can't really comment on that.

    Even though I would not recommend the part-time course to people lookin...

    Positive and rewarding experience

    Coming from the education industry, I’d say the teaching and support staff from General Assembly went above and beyond to ensure that no one feels alone on this journey. I’m very grateful for the extra mile that the instructors went to ensure that complex concepts are simplified as much as possible and for the feedback provided after the completion of each project. I also greatly appreciate the constant check-in by the support staff and career coaches, even after the bootcamp has ended. ...

    Inspiring, challenging, rewarding

    The GA UX bootcamp is one of the best things I have chosen to do; the instructors are experts in the field and give you insights and examples of work that really allow you to get a foot in the door. I enjoyed every single moment and didn't want it to end. The only thing I would have liked is a bit more time looking at UI in the curriculum; that bit didn't feel as in depth.

    Intensive, Insightful and Impactful

    I recently completed the Data Science Immersive program at General Assembly, and it was an eye-opening experience. The program is intensive and fast-paced, designed to push you out of your comfort zone. From day one, the curriculum was intensive, fast-paced lessons coupled with hands-on projects that allowed me to apply concepts in real-world scenarios. The instructors were knowledgeable and they are the industry experts where students could learn and get insights on how to apply the con...

    Challenging but Educational

    I learned full stack web development, including frontend HTML and CSS and backend databases like Mongo and Django. This was a challenging 8 hour day course, but I learned a lot. The only thing I would change is I wish they sponsored networking events with job recruiters.

    Changed my Life

    I attended the Denver campus for the 12-week UX course in 2017. I loved everything about the program; instructors, projects, classmates. I previously had only participated in traditional school, so a boot camp felt hands-on and useful immediately. I will say that the job coaching was super helpful in every respect except the actual job piece. They coach you on your resume, using previous experience as applicable to this new career, networking, etc. All of the great things that will be li...

    Helping You Get Started

    The experience has been great. It gave me enough workflow to familiarise myself with enough projects to prepare myself for employment. The lessons are relevant and great. However, it can sometimes be very stressful if you are new to design sprints. Project timelines are fast and you have to be emotionally and mentally resilient. If you are someone who is ready to face the storm and explore the vast unchartered ocean ahead, this might just be for you.

    Everything I needed and more

    When I embarked on my data science journey, I had a clear vision of my goals and was fully aware of the challenges that lay ahead. True to my expectations, the path was as demanding as I had anticipated, and even more so at times.

    Our instructor manager, Jonathan Oen-Lee, MBA, ACLP was inspiring and did a great job helping us to understand what made an effective data science presentation.

    My time at GA was great and the job support after helped me land my first job. Its important to note though that it really is a get what you give experience. Don't expect to come in and coast by, its hard and requires a lot of work but if you put the time into the process, you will get a lot out of it. I am not longer a software developer, having transitioned into Product management, but am still using a lot of the coding knowledge i learned at GA. The instructors are very supportive, th...
