By far, it is one of the best schools that I've ever been in Australia. I did the Javascript development course, it was very challenging but worthwhile. My teacher was very upskill, I'd do another course with those guys.

I liked how I felt more commited and capable after leaving GA. I will say though this course does NOT make you job ready. and I would bet all my money most companies wouldnt and shouldnt feel comfortable hiring someone just because they went to GA. Out of my entire cohort I was the only one who landed a job in software engineering and it took me 6 months. This course helps build skill but if you dont have some understanding before coming into GA it will be very hard to successfully complete it if your professors actually grade your work (ours just marked them as complete no matter what) You have to put in a lot in, and after youre done you have to keep coding. You arent ready for a job and employers know it. Cool you made tic tac toe and a bad react website while holding the hands of other developers. Thats not enough. Not to mention for what you get, I payed way too much. 16 grand for what I learned? no. In summary, this is useful but not as useful as doing hackathons and learning this stuff anyways FOR FREE. and getting payed to do it if you do well, plus it looks way better on a resume and you retain a lot more. If you have money to spare and want to learn about web dev go for it but know you arent handed a job because of it. 👍

I enrolled in General Assembly's Software Engineering Bootcamp hoping to transfer into a software engineering role. The boast a 90 some percent employment rate and I can tell you that definitely is not true. The curriculum is really web development not software engineering and was nothing you couldn't teach yourself. The career services are basically non-existent and has me questioning why did I even waste my money.

Bootcamp is not for the faint at heart. It's an intense and wild ride. I am so glad I did it. Our instructor has real-world experience and treated us, not like students, but like colleagues he was training to do the job. Mac Lofton, our instructor, was awesome. Jasmine Bass, our career advisor, has also been instrumental in helping me build a solid resume and preparing me for the job hunt. At General Assembly, the resources are there for you.

My instructor was fantastic, and I led the class in participation and put the hours in- but the client project was a nightmare, my portfolio projects are not competitive for the job market, and outcomes program is non-existent..post grad is really just a few slack messages here and there and opportunities to do design challenges. The outcomes instructor has no real connections but just sends custom LinkedIn search strategies... Overall, I put myself into considerable debt.

It’s not the fault of the company but I entered the job market at the same time as many people who had industry experience. (massive tech layoffs last year this time). Outcomes wasn’t prepared to help in the ways they needed too, as they advertised they could.

General Assembly offers crucial support, providing personalized coaching, resume workshops, and networking opportunities.

I loved my General Assembly bootcamp! Super informative, very intensive, and incredibly supportive. Would recommend to anyone who knows they like to code.

The content was not up-to-date, and the skills are really general - same as what their company name suggested. Not helpful in making you competitive in today's job market. Not to mention the overpriced tuition.

I had great instructors who set aside time to make sure each student felt like they were understanding the course material. Ben Manning and co-instructors Austin and Mark were very great at leading engaging discussions and class projects. I was able to take what I learned from this course and apply it to my web production role.
