I started my HyperionDev immersive Full Stack Developer bootcamp experience in March 2023.

Along the way it has been extremely demanding of my time with many late nights not to mention the high number of resubmissions as tasks were challenging but I've managed to progress and now I am at the end of my experience. It's tough but i highly recommend aspiring Techies who are up for the challenge . As an online student, the experience can feel lonely but dedicated coding mentors are just a video call away. When I started out, I wanted to start my software company as I had just learned Javascript. i went on to read a book called "The Full Stack Developer_ Your Essential Guide to the Everyday Skills Expected of a Modern Full Stack Web Developer". That gave me immense high level knowledge about software development but i had holes in my knowledge base. The task challenges have polished me to becoming a complete developer with strong experience in Back and front-end expertise.- Nduduzo KhawulaAnalyst • Student • Software Engineer Bootcamp • OnlineNov 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

A highly effective learning platform
My time with HyperionDev has been absolutely fantastic.
I'm nearing the end of my course and have benefitted immensely from the guidance of the course and available tutors - I would give it a solid recommendation for anyone looking to get into the field - SABISA SIGANGAStudent • Full Stack Web Developer Bootcamp • OnlineNov 07, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Supportive, Transformative and Rewarding
I have an outstanding experience at HyperionDev. I'm currently enrolled in their Full Stack Web Development program and have found the academic quality to be exceptional. The curriculum is comprehensive, and the mentors are knowledgeable and dedicated to the students' success.
One aspect that truly stands outs for me here at HyperionDev is the exceptional support services. The guidance and assistance provided by their team are invaluable in my learning journey.

I would like to give a special mention to Turchia Peterson, who went above and beyond to help me with an issue that is preventing me from completing my bootcamp. Turchia's dedication to helping students like me made a significant difference in my experience, and I'm deeply grateful for her support.
I wholeheartedly recommend HyperionDev to anyone seeking a high-quality education and a supportive learning environment.

At the last stages and still good.
I started the Hyperion Data Science Bootcamp around July 2023.
The course started off simply but started to get really tough when you get the next levels (There are 3 of them).
I'm doing the online bootcamp so I'm doing this remotely just so you know.
What I like about the bootcamp:- At the beginning, the support staff used to call me to check how I was doing every week, so I felt reassured about the bootcamp.

I started the Hyperion Data Science Bootcamp around July 2023.
The course started off simply but started to get really tough when you get the next levels (There are 3 of them).
I'm doing the online bootcamp so I'm doing this remotely just so you know.
What I like about the bootcamp:- At the beginning, the support staff used to call me to check how I was doing every week, so I felt reassured about the bootcamp.
- They will send you an email if you fall off to check if all is okay.
- The feedback on the task. This is what I really like the most about the bootcamp because your are told first what you did right, what you can improve and given some resources to further your skills.
- The available mentor calls. You can schedule a video call with your mentor, you have a limited number, 8 I think per month, to converse with a mentor if you are struggling. This is very important especially when you are confused as to why things are not working.
- Extra lectures. Besides the study material, there are scheduled lectures to go over the material and even ask questions. If you are a student, its good to be among other students in the video lecture hearing other ask questions and knowing you are not alone in your challenges.
What I think can be improved:- Although you do have tons of materials, support and extra lecturers, I felt that from Level 2, the material jumps from easily consumable to very difficult. In my opinion, this ramp up is too fast because too many complex material is thrust upon you and I found myself falling behind trying to find resources to explain the basics first of that task, then being able to understand what the task required, and then doing the task.
- Level 1 should be shortened and greater time be given to the next levels. As I said in the first point, the first level's material is not that complicated, (maybe that's just me), the next levels are really next level and need more tasks and more examples so you can get it and be better equipped. For example, more examples and lessons on how to make your presentations tell the story, not just to create the graphs and explain what they represent and how to get the story across.
- More engagement on the discord from the lecturers/mentors. I know that usually this a forum to foster student engagement with each other but an appearance from a mentor or lecturer would be of benefit to drive student participation and engage more. I did not feel their presence in the forum but I think their knowledge would have really helped is some of the questions especially queries on the school processes.
Would I recommend the bootcamp? Absolutely. The thing is, when learning about development, or being a data scientists, the onus is on you to do the work if you really want to be good at it. As others know, you have to deal with a lot of frustrations. The bootcamp should not really hold your hand but they do at the beginning and then let you do things by yourself with support always at hand. Then they give you a framework so that you know what to do next. Then they give you the right tasks to build your foundation step by step and give you feedback along the way which is reassuring and keeps you on the right track. There are other things they provide you as well which only requires your engagement but this post is way too long already.
If you can afford it, this bootcamp should be on your top list. - Jarryd ManeveldStudent • Student • Cape TownOct 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

I would like to say there are no faults, but the ones at HyperionDev did not interrupt my learning experience for the most part. A frequent problem I was having was due to lack of communication or support via the query system. It does not feel as if my issues are taken seriously or when help is required there was simply no response until I had used a limited mentor session or I searched for other sources to find a solution.
I believe the first month check-in should be applied to the whole course for non-code-related queries or questions. This will improve the time it takes for responses to admin related queries faster. - Mafika NkosiStudent • Software Engineer Bootcamp • OnlineOct 17, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I had the chance to delve into the realm of software engineering during the course of the programme, and it far surpassed my expectations.
The degree of support that HyperionDev provides to its students is one of its unique features. The professors and support staff were always available and willing to assist me if I got stuck or ran across a particularly difficult problem. HyperionDev stands out thanks to this level of dedication to student development.
The programme covered a wide range of crucial software engineering subjects and was thorough and organised effectively. After completing the bootcamp, I felt well-prepared for the needs of the industry, from the basics of coding to more complex ideas.
The emphasis on practical, hands-on learning was what I liked best. Real-world projects give students the opportunity to put what they have learnt into practise, which is crucial while pursuing a career in software engineering. HyperionDev promotes this.
I wholeheartedly advise anyone wishing to start a software engineering path to contact Hyperion Development. HyperionDev offers an outstanding learning environment that will surely put you on the road to success, whether you're a novice or want to increase your knowledge and skill set. My expertise has increased as a result of this bootcamp, and I now feel more confident about pursuing a career in software engineering. - PhilasandeStudent • Certified Full Stack Web & Software Engineer Bootcamp (Full Time) • OnlineSep 07, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

This was also my first online learning experience and they made adjusting to it feel easy and natural. Their course is broken down into four levels, making learning with them really easy but still challenging enough to make one want to learn more and grow one's skills as you work through each task. Very few times though there would be task that is a little to hard and vague to complete yourself but worry not because your mentors and code reviewers are there to help. They don't solve your problems for you but instead teach you how to solve them yourself. The mentors I was lucky enough to meet were always extremely kind and patient with me, constantly pointing me in the right direction whenever I felt like I was stuck. Something I wasn't a big fan of was how little the interactions with other students were, this could have just been my group though. Nonetheless I'm hoping this is something they work on in the future especially when being teaching how to work collaborately with others. In the beginning I felt like what I was learning wasn't going to lead me anywhere but now that i'm at the end i'm extremely happy to have been with them because now I feel as confident as ever about starting a career in this industry.
