Challenging yet Rewarding
HyperionDev helped me to integrate and apply a lot of skills in Full-Stack Web Development in a short space of time. I really appreciated the feedback I received from my mentors for each individual task: it helped me to pay attention to skills/areas that were lacking in my codebase, therefore making the quality of my code on par with professional coders.

5 Stars to HyperionDev!
What an amazing journey! The course was well-paced, with a gradual learning curve, that taught me to be resourceful, resilient and focused. The course covers real-world examples that can be applied to many industries, using in-demand technology and methods. From the onboarding staff [Lindy Mellem] to the support staff [Warrick, Nurhaan, Lizobuya and Jodi] to the reviewers [Jason, Chad, Ronny, Moipati, Brandon, Gwinyai, Seraaj, and Jessica] - hats off to you all.

Dissapointing, University accreditation in name only.
So, I completed the "University of Edinburgh Full Stack Web Development Bootcamp" and finished with the "top ranking" in my cohort.
The TL;DR is: Look elsewhere. I don't recommend this bootcamp at all. The materials are no better (mostly worse) than free resources, and their "employer partners" are nonexistent. I can see why the University of Edinburgh had virtually nothing to do with this.

The TL;DR is: Look elsewhere. I don't recommend this bootcamp at all. The materials are no better (mostly worse) than free resources, and their "employer partners" are nonexistent. I can see why the University of Edinburgh had virtually nothing to do with this.
For context, this course is split into two parts: the 3-month bootcamp and a subsequent 3-month "graduate scheme."
For the bootcamp:
As many here have already mentioned, the learning boils down to a bunch of PDFs. Each one has a task to complete. Considering this is an expensive course (I paid £7500 back in March), and being a company of Web Developers and Software Engineers, you'd think they'd put together something smarter than PDFs in a Dropbox. But, here we are—a sign of the quality to expect. In the early parts of the course, there's an accompanying video for each task to explain each topic. These were actually quite good, but as you progress deeper into the bootcamp and the topics get more complex, there are fewer videos, and their quality diminishes. It's no surprise, as many have noted, that they struggle to complete the bootcamp on time. I found that by the last third of the bootcamp, the materials were virtually useless. I relied on YouTube and W3Schools to learn how to complete the tasks. Having paid this amount of money to end up using free resources didn't feel right. All the course materials direct you to join the Discord for support, which I couldn't access since they'd shut it down. (I only learned recently from other reviews that it was because they couldn't manage the influx of complaints from students). I managed to finish the bootcamp on time, but only just, and worked long hours to do so. As I mentioned earlier, I finished rank 1 in my course of supposedly 100+ people. However, on the "weekly leaderboard," I only ever saw three other people making any progress.
Regardless, I thought maybe the value lies in the graduate scheme and access to Hyperion's "employer partners."
For the graduate scheme:
The tasks here were all career-related: polish up your CV, update your LinkedIn/GitHub, complete a technical interview, etc. The guidance was useful and accurate, but hardly seemed worth the price I'd paid. For comparison, PurpleCV's most expensive package is only £215 and they'd do all of that for you. I completed all tasks with 100% feedback and joined the graduate Discord group, unsurprisingly, it's basically dead with fewer than 300 members (including staff). Anecdotally, browsing through LinkedIn, I've seen others posting about finishing their courses and ranking high in their cohorts out of 100-600 people per cohort. I've counted up to about 3,000 people in total, so I'd estimate that less than 10% actually graduate from a HyperionDev bootcamp. Given my accomplishments, I thought I'd be a prime candidate for their employer partners. Yet, it's been three months with no news. They've mentioned a slowdown in tech and the summer quietness as reasons. Their advice? Apply for jobs and contact recruiters (amazing advice?! it's not like I was already doing that). I have recently found work as a web developer, but not through HyperionDev.
In conclusion, look elsewhere. There are much cheaper bootcamps offering accreditations, and free resources are somehow better than what HyperionDev provides. The career support is basic at best. If you need help with your CV/LinkedIn, there are many services ranging from £50-£200+ that can enhance your profile and "findability" for recruiter algorithms. The touted "employer partners" is a sham. I have no idea about the connection with the University of Edinburgh; it seems they were only leveraging the university's name for marketing purposes. (PS. I've noticed this has now changed to ICL, and I doubt they're affiliated with HyperionDev in any meaningful way either). I'm have no idea about the source of the positive reviews; some don't even make sense. I'd advise caution when reading them since I have not had even close to the same experience.

The course material provided was not only highly valuable but also incredibly challenging, making it an enriching learning journey from start to finish.
One of the standout aspects of Hyperion Dev is their exceptional course material. It was evident that a lot of thought and effort went into crafting comprehensive and up-to-date content. The course material was presented in a well-structured and organized manner, allowing me to grasp complex concepts and apply them in practical scenarios. The curriculum was relevant to the industry's current needs, ensuring that I acquired in-demand skills.
What truly set Hyperion Dev apart, however, was their fantastic support system. Whenever I faced difficulties or had questions, their team was always available to provide assistance. The support team was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in my success. They went above and beyond to ensure that I had a clear understanding of the concepts and offered guidance tailored to my learning needs. Their responsiveness and dedication to helping students succeed were truly commendable.
Moreover, the interactive nature of the support made a significant difference. Through regular one-on-one sessions, code reviews, and feedback, I received personalized attention and valuable insights that greatly enhanced my learning experience. This level of individualized support fostered a sense of trust and collaboration, allowing me to tackle challenges with confidence.
Hyperion Dev's commitment to their students' success was evident throughout my time with them. They consistently demonstrated their dedication by creating an environment where I felt supported and motivated. Their continuous encouragement and belief in their students' potential were uplifting and inspiring.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Hyperion Dev to anyone seeking a high-quality coding education. The course material is truly worth it, presenting a challenging yet rewarding learning experience. The exceptional support provided by the Hyperion Dev team ensures that you have all the resources and guidance you need to succeed. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with the knowledge and skills you gain from this incredible program! - Alex ElliottGraduate • Full Stack Web Developer Bootcamp • OnlineVerified by GitHubJun 21, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

After completing the course, I feel that I've learned an incredible amount and am fluent in HTML, Javascript, and CSS as well as React.
Overall, there were a few problems with the course. The way that it works is you have access to folders containing PDFs which you read and complete tasks, for which you need to do additional research which is fine. There are also some video lectures, which are helpful during the first section (basics) but as you progress through the course there are fewer of them and they become less useful / out of date. I found that the course PDFs were often out of date and missing key steps for how to create the apps that they required to pass the course. All they need to do is update the course materials, which is what we pay for. This caused a lot of stress and is unacceptable for a course for which you pay thousands of UK £'s.
One word of warning is that the time frame they give you for earlier tasks are very reasonable, but towards the end they become near impossible. The final suggested time frame occurs AFTER the end of support, which is concerning. This seriously needs reviewing because from the discord forum it looks like this happened to a few people, and some has to pay to get extension to their support. Hyperion need to review this. My advice is get two weeks ahead of this timeline before you get into the last month - you'll need it.
I did have calls with Mentors on a couple of occasions and they were useful in talking you through how to complete tasks. One mentor even took my task away and sent it back to me a day later with suggestions which was very helpful.
On two occasions I requested help through the ticketing system (once because the course materials mentioned additional reading which hadn't been provided, and once because one of my tasks was reviewed incorrectly) and received no help at all. I just gave up asking for help via the ticketing system.
I didn't do the course with University accreditation but I would be interested to hear if the level of support was better if you did the University accredited version of the course. I suspect if not, then universities might distance themselves from Hyperion.
Overall, it didn't meet expectations and is overpriced considering the level of support given.
