Ironhack Reviews 134

The content of the course is the highest quality and incredibly interesting. The best part of the course by far were the morning lectures with our teacher Carlos Fenollosa. He's nothing short of a machine learning genius, and he is also extremely personable, patient and engaging and able to break down very high level concepts into digestible pieces that almost anyone could understand. The substitute teacher Isabella, was also a really wonderful teacher. The Ironhack AI engineering course really has top of the industry experts teaching the material.

The only downsides of the course are:
1 - that it is extremely intensive. I took a web development bootcamp 6-years ago, and the pace didn't even compare. This is essentially 400 hours of course work in 10 weeks, and the concepts are extremely high level. It really fried my brain and was physically stressful.

2- Additionally, the labs were sometimes written very sloppily and the instructions were difficult to comprehend because they had not been edited by a native english speaker. Constant dependency issues with labs are a given because the tech is being updated so quickly, but I feel that prior to the beginning of every cohort, an Ironhack expert should go through each lab and update outdated dependencies. Otherwise students can spend hours debugging a issues that aren't the learning points.

Overall, it was an incredibly enriching experience, and I am very glad I did it. I feel very confident about my abilities as an AI engineer. Though this is a new program, and they are finding their way, you will absolutely be taught what you need for the industry.

I have finally completed the Bootcamp! It was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot of new things and also founded new friends to connect with. Max (our professor during the part time bootcamp) is a wonderful person, always putting his best for all the classes and putting effort so no is left behind. He is someone really passionate about the design and how to keep evolving. Outstanding quality of teaching. If anyone is thinking of taking this bootcamp on the part-time, be at peace that he is gonna show you and take you through this exciting journey.

AI-Engineering gets your money's worth
Followed the full-time AI engineering course from May until July. The main differentiator is definitely the teacher: Carlos Fennollosa. Carlos is able to break down incredibly complex and abstract concepts so that you can understand it. While also keeping some much needed humour, great teacher.
The course itself is a good mix of theory in the mornings, and hands on practical experience in the labs in the afternoon. By the end, you will have personally built a bunch of different systems, from classical ML to state of the art AI agents. I walk away from the bootcamp with a strong understanding of these technologies, and the confidence that I am able to build custom AI solutions for my organisation.
My only gripes are:
1 - the quality of some of the labs could be improved; and
2 - career services does not do that much for you aside from giving advice.

The course was expertly built, it is amazing how many skills we were able to develop in just 9 weeks. Teachers and staff were always helpful and the projects were relevant.

I had a really cool experience as a student at Ironhack. The topics we covered — from HTML, CSS and JavaScript to full-stack development with React, Node.js and databases — were all super interesting and highly relevant for the current tech industry.

The bootcamp is extremely fast-paced, which can be very intense and even stressful at times, especially if you’re new to coding or balancing other responsibilities. But that intensity is also what pushes you to grow, learn quickly, and build real projects in a short amount of time.

The support from the teachers and classmates was great, and being part of such a focused and motivated environment really helped me stay on track.

I went to Ironhack Paris with Tom (whom I paid for to), the teaching is OK. I also did a bootcamp named Web@cadémie before that. They're just freelance web developers teaching beginner stuff and if your resume and your pitch looks good enough they might recruit you with their sponsors otherwise you'll end up with a useless digital piece of paper. If you wanna reconvert to web developer this isn't for you! What I did after Ironhack? McDonald's!

I'm writing this review with a mix of frustration and disappointment after my initial interaction with Gabriel Álvarez, Admissions Associate at Ironhack. Unfortunately, my experience was utterly disheartening, and I felt compelled to share my concerns.
Before even enrolling in the program, I reached out to Mr. Álvarez with genuine enthusiasm and curiosity about the Data Science & AI program. However, his response left me feeling belittled, unheard, and disrespected. His tone was abrasive, and he seemed more interested in pushing me toward a bootcamp than in understanding my aspirations or addressing my questions.

As a prospective student, I had high hopes and a deep desire to learn from Ironhack's esteemed program. But Mr. Álvarez's unprofessional demeanor and lack of empathy crushed my excitement and made me question the institution's values.

Given this distressing experience, I have decided not to pursue the program further. I hope that Ironhack will take my feedback to heart and work on improving their customer service, admissions process, and overall student experience.
I would caution prospective students to carefully evaluate their options and consider multiple factors before making a decision.

Great course contents, engaging staff, especially the teacher that made learning complex concepts easy.

Completely worth the time and the money invested.

It was an amazing experience, specially the threat recibed from the teachers, if you are interested in a review or upgrade of your cybersecurity skills its great.

Web Development Full Time Course:
This has been a better experience than I expected. I thought it might be too much information, but it was just the right amount to digest and execute. Wonderful experience! Knowledgeble teachers, consdierate and caring staff! I believe this course was exactly what I needed to start my career in web development!

It was a very good experience.
I took the web bootcamp in October/November 24.

I had great teachers, Luis and Dani, who gave me incredible support and helped me cope with the difficulties.

The bootcamp was a challenge in terms of organization with my personal life and time to study, but there's a whole team that works hard if you need to talk, get advice, etc.

The format is interesting, with a mix of independent work, group work, theory, etc.

What started as an uncertainty ended in an experience I would never forget!

I did the AI Engineering Bootcamp remotely.
In general the bootcamp was okay, covered a lot of topics, the teachers were knowledgeable. Definitely not worth the money though.
The quality of the course work was disappointing, requiring the teachers to spend additional time fixing the issues in order to be able to teach.
One of the teachers regularly missed classes in order to teach somewhere else and no substitute was provided. The teaching assistant was knowledgeable but had no experience in didactics, so even though they were helpful in assisting with issues, didn’t have much teaching abilities.
Not enough support was provided for all students.
Seemed like the teachers were lacking support from the school.
Ironhack sells the bootcamp as suitable for both people with no experience in tech as well as experienced programmers, which doesn’t work well in practice.

I am a 36 year old man who studied Fine Arts at University, and always thought of myself as a "right-brained" individual incapable of learning something so complex like coding. You see it was actually my worse weakness when graduating in college. I really can't recall exactly what came onto me to join the AI bootcamp of Ironhack at the beginning, appart from that enormous excitement about what AI was doing to the world and, of course, that personal development I felt I was missing. The fact that I didn't feel like I didn't have an expertise was a daunting thougth. I confess I was so afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it, I doubted myself so much given my brackground, my age, my complete lack of experience in tech. Today, I can safely say that this was the best desicion I made in my entire life. Was it exausting? yes, but it feels like I have solved half of the existencial dreads I had before joining this bootcamp. I don't want to sound too romantic but that is how I am feeling. So really, for those out there that think that is impossible to learn a tech discipline, professionally in 9 weeks, I am the living proof is not, and I got to thank Ironhack for that. Amazing people, amazing teacher and amazing program. I know it can be unbelievable, but these are facts.

I won’t lie, I had low expectations, but my teacher ACTUALLY helped me to stay engaged. I was so anxious at the beginning and thought that the subject wouldn’t be interesting even though I have a background in development, but jaysus he showed me how easy it is to learn. ❤️

Fantastic experience with teachers who follow your progress every step of the way.

Doing the Data Analyst bootcamp at Ironhack has been an incredible experience. It is a very intense course, with a high pace of work, but that was exactly what I was looking for: lots of practice and 100% dedication. The staff is excellent, very committed, and you really create a community with your classmates and professors.

I have learned more in these two intensive months than in other educations I have had that lasted 10 times longer. Ironhack really prepares you to turn your career around, if that's what you're looking for. Of course, you have to be willing to give your all and know that, during the time it lasts, you have to be fully dedicated.

I can only recommend it, it's worth it!

UX Designer, by Ironhack great experice after this 3 Months.

I just said.. Thank you1

I recently complete the data analytics bootcamp in Berlin and the team is very supportive. I had a great experience. The content is very complete and the teacher (Aleks) was the most patient person and explained everything so well.

The teachers and the campus made my experience amazing.
