Skills I learned have helped my career I took the part-time python programming course and it has helped me better manage my workload, complete tasks faster, efficiently, and automatically!

I had an amazing experience with GA as the teacher-led class provided a personalized curriculum that allowed me to get the most out of the course. I was able to learn at my own pace and ask questions whenever I needed to. Overall, it was a great opportunity for me to improve my skills and knowledge.

Great tutors and really good to have chance to reflect on what we do, how and why we do it and ways to do things better

Wow, I can't rave enough about the data analytics program! It was truly a great experience and opportunity. The insights I gained have transformed my work and personal life in ways I never thought possible. A gain new skills and a complete different mindset. I've become passionate about data-driven decision-making. My skills have skyrocketed, and my confidence has soared. This program has opened doors to new opportunities and taken my career to the next level. It's a game-changer, and I'm thrilled to be part of the data-driven revolution! Thank you General Assembly.

I really enjoyed studying with general assembly. I am desperate to switch my career into IT. But I didn’t get any internships in python language. If you help me to find out something for me any volunteer work or internships. I am so happy to work on it.

Culture is open and safe I love general assembly's culture that they've developed over the years. Students feel safe to learn, explore and ask lots of questions. The environment is all about collaboration and being active in learning.

The instructor was very knowledgeable and engaged the class.

It was a good learning experience. Our teacher was Jack Whittle

What they promise you is a shame the assistance finding a job is a joke the only people who seemed to care about their job is the teachers the other people don't even bother to speak to you if you can help it don't do this.

If you're considering enrolling in the General Assembly's Data Science Immersive program, I urge you to pause and reconsider. While the allure of a promising career in data science is strong, this program, unfortunately, falls short of its hefty price tag. Firstly, the cost of the program is exorbitantly high, and one would expect a high caliber of education and engagement in return. However, the reality is a stark contrast. The instruction quality is underwhelming, with the instructor often seeming disinterested, merely going through the motions as if wishing to be elsewhere. This lack of enthusiasm and engagement is not only disappointing but also detrimental to the learning experience. The program's purported value lies in its career placement support. However, this too is largely overhyped. The career advice provided is generic at best, lacking the personalized touch and insight one would expect from a program of this stature. As for career placement, it's more a facade than a reality. The job opportunities they forward are nothing more than formalities. A recruiter, in a moment of candor, even admitted to me that their hiring decisions were pre-made, and their engagement with General Assembly was merely to maintain the relationship with General Assembly. A particularly concerning aspect I discovered mid-program was the manipulation of employment statistics. General Assembly combines the employment results of their Data Analytics and Data Science Immersives to present a rosier picture of job placement success. This blending of statistics is not only misleading but also misrepresents the true outcomes for Data Science students specifically. Many graduates, including myself, found that the majority of job placements were in data analytics roles, which require a different skill set than what is taught in the Data Science Immersive. The marketing tactics employed by General Assembly are deceptive, painting an unrealistic picture of the program's outcomes. As someone who has gone through the program, my advice to potential students is straightforward: save your money and time. There are myriad resources and pathways to enter the field of data science that are more cost-effective and genuinely supportive of your career aspirations. General Assembly's Data Science Immersive, unfortunately, is not one of them.

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, lessons where well structured and comprehensible. Length of the course was ideal.

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.

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. 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..

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.

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 at making sure I had what I needed to succeed in the course. I appreciated that.

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.

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.
