I loved the instructor
I loved the instructor. The registration and onboarding process was confusing and the person who assisted me was quite rude. Finding a job after graduating the course has been extremely difficult. I was told there’d be help after the course with networking and finding new jobs which didn’t occur. I didn’t feel the cost justified what was provided.
Great tutors and lessons
Great tutors, lessons where well structured and comprehensible. Length of the course was ideal.
Amazing course, Amazing Instructors
My instructors were extremely helpful and approachable, which makes it so easy to engage with the materials and learn. I cannot speak more highly of this course and my instructors. The skills that I have learned have helped me look at data in a different way and to use Excel, Tableau, and SQL effectively. I also think the course has given me an approach to data that I have applied to other tools like Power BI. While these tools are not the same, I can look at data, know what needs to be done, and understand how to display it effectively.
Software Engineering - Great Educators, Great Education
I think that the whole experience has really been refined over the years, and it really shows. The tech stack used to teach the students (Github Repos, Slack, Zoom) has been organized and well planned, allowing the students to really focus on learning. The teachers are some of the most relatable people, but they are experts in their knowledge of the coding concepts necessary to start coding. I feel that after leaving this bootcamp for Software Engineering (while that market has been flooded with recent layoffs), I feel thoroughly equipped knowing the basics of web development and SWE, and feel that I have a solid foundation to go and chase bigger and better projects with the skills I've obtained in bootcamp.
Great instructors and curriculum
Great instructors and curriculum. I learned alot. Great community as well on Slack. My only qualm would be with the way the program oversold itself in the outcomes section. The market for junior engineers is terrible right now, and although we graduated 8 months ago nobody in my cohort has found fulltime work as a dev..
Good learning environment
The materials taught are highly relevant and currently applied in the industry, specifically in Singapore. While the learning here has its limitations, it provides a solid foundation for further exploration as you enter the industry. Beyond knowledge, the instructors, career coaches, and staff are exceptionally supportive. They are approachable and eager to assist students. Given the nature of the bootcamp, the overall environment is conducive to learning, with everyone sharing the common goal of learning. It's certainly a distinctive educational experience compared to traditional schooling. Certainly, don't anticipate spoon-fed education; there are instances where you genuinely need to stretch yourself and delve deeper.
Challenging Fun
It was extraordinary experience. Working with team of all enthusiastic learners with best tutors on the market. Everyday’s challenging task make it more engaging and fun for curious students.
They did a great job
They did a great job at making sure I had what I needed to succeed in the course. I appreciated that.
I attended General Assembly's bootcamp
I attended General Assembly's bootcamp, and while my instructor was knowledgeable and supportive, I experienced disappointment with their job placement promises. Initially, I was led to believe that landing a job post-graduation would be more immediate. However, the reality was different. They often cited minor reasons, like not responding to one of their messages, to avoid accountability for job placement. Despite being punctual and diligently completing all requirements for over a year, I found their commitment to securing employment opportunities somewhat lacking. It's crucial for prospective students to approach their expectations with a realistic perspective on post-graduation outcomes.I wouldn't have enrolled in the course at General Assembly if they hadn't assured me of a job guarantee. The promise of post-graduation employment heavily influenced my decision to purchase the course. However, the disparity between their assurances and the actual job placement process left me feeling misled and dissatisfied with the overall experience. Clear communication and realistic expectations are essential when making decisions about educational investments, and unfortunately, the initial commitment to guaranteeing a job did not align with the outcome.
Good course delivered by a great team in a well structured way
It was a robust process getting us set up and ready for the course. Also liked the high level of support that was provided by the teaching team. I also enjoyed the delivery method and thought that the teaching and the content was of high quality.
