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.

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.Melanie of HyperionDev

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. - Oliver BrouckaertStudent • Software Engineer Bootcamp • OnlineFeb 28, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
An exciting head start into coding
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. - Siphumelele MtwaStudent • JohannesburgFeb 17, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

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.Melanie of HyperionDev

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.Melanie of HyperionDev

Great for beginners
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. - Nicholas ShamrockStudent • Software Engineer Bootcamp • OnlineFeb 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Poor Course Content
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 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. - Salomane SereetsiIT • Student • JohannesburgFeb 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Hyperion Dev Software Engineering Bootcamp
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. - Samuel OluyemiStudent • Cape TownFeb 08, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Challenging, good, educational, informative
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.Melanie of HyperionDev
