But what I got was much more. I gained a greater understanding to coding. Specifically Python which I had zero experience with but the help of HyperionDev and mentors, I obtained the the skills to pretty much back myself to do almost anything and everything related to it. I learned how interesting and enjoyable programming can really be. What I enjoyed the most about the course, was how precise and comprehensive the curriculum was to understand. And when I faced difficulties the mentors were always there to lend a helping hand even when I done everything correctly, I was shown ways to better improve certain aspect of my work. I'm yet to make use of the career guidance but I'm certain the support will be just good as the course support was. Overall I'd highly recommend HyperionDev to anyone interested in upskilling themselves.- AnonymousSystem admin • Student • Cape TownDec 06, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Fun, Difficult, interesting, relevant, confusing
I recently attended a data science bootcamp that offered a mixed bag of experiences. The program had its strengths, but it wasn't without its shortcomings. The instructors were knowledgeable and approachable, making complex concepts accessible. However, the clarity of resources varied, leading to confusion at times. Some materials lacked detail, leaving me searching for additional informationThe tutorial videos emerged as a saving grace, effectively simplifying intricate topic...I recently attended a data science bootcamp that offered a mixed bag of experiences. The program had its strengths, but it wasn't without its shortcomings. The instructors were knowledgeable and approachable, making complex concepts accessible. However, the clarity of resources varied, leading to confusion at times. Some materials lacked detail, leaving me searching for additional informationThe tutorial videos emerged as a saving grace, effectively simplifying intricate topics and enhancing my understanding. They provided practical insights that bridged the gaps created by unclear resources. On the downside, the inconsistency in the difficulty of the content was noticeable. While certain segments were a breeze to grasp, others left me grappling with ambiguity.In summary, the data science bootcamp was a valuable experience overall, striking a balance between informative sessions and confusing resources. The tutorial videos played a pivotal role in smoothing the learning curve, but the program's uneven consistency in material clarity left room for improvement. - AnonymousStudent • Data Science Bootcamp • OnlineDec 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Hyperiondev Software Engineering Bootcamp
Great experience and support from everyone at Hyperiondev, content of the course gives students an introductory approach to the tech industry and exposes students to the various skills necessary to succeed, in my experience specifically within the software engineering role, i have now gained a practical insight outside of what i inherited from my University degree. Highly recommended! - Anonymousstudent • Student • JohannesburgNov 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
informative, partially challenging, well structured
The software engineering bootcamp is good and the support I received from mentors or the support team in general was amazing.
Some things I noticed / areas of improvement:
• Content can be hard to understand, especially for beginners with no coding background. I had a small amount of coding knowledge and still struggled here and there.
• In certain tasks, explanations were not concise and ‘to the point’, sometimes I found that information was irrelevant, making the doc...The software engineering bootcamp is good and the support I received from mentors or the support team in general was amazing.

• In certain tasks, explanations were not concise and ‘to the point’, sometimes I found that information was irrelevant, making the documents unnecessarily long.
• Sometimes mentors were highly unprofessional, I have had a session where the connection was bad and they just continued with the work. And another session that the mentor failed to communicate that they could not make it to the meeting, TWICE.
Overall, the bootcamp was good. Sometimes it can be frustrating for the reasons I mentioned above.Melanie of HyperionDev

well-structured bootcamp
The bootcamp's well-structured curriculum, expert instructors, and the inclusive learning environment made it an ideal place to learn. I went into this bootcamp with no prior knowledge of coding. I have already started implementing my new skillset in my daily job. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a transformative learning experience that equips you with practical, job-ready skills. - AnonymousStudent • Full Stack Web Developer Bootcamp • OnlineSep 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

To be honest you cannot beat the services or the people that I have dealt with from the HyperionDev support team specially a big thank you to Warrick and Oscar.
I would like to thank the entire HyperionDev team for the helpful guidance provided. The reviewers were all amazing, they were all very helpful and efficient, and I was always informed on where I went wrong and what I can do to improve. They took their time to write a proper review and guide you for the future. They even give you a chance to rectify your mistakes.
I would recommend this course to everyone wanting to get into this field. - AnonymousStudent • Data Science Bootcamp • OnlineApr 03, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

It seems like they have payed people to write good reviews about them and that they block, silence or threaten anyone who writes negative reviews about them. God forbid anyone says anything bad about them or exposes the truth about them.. There is even talk of the CEO (who is way to involved), harassing female students and workers. This company is terrible, from top to bottom.
There is a massive lack of staff it seems so response rate is very slow and support seems non-existent when it is urgent. I have waited up to three weeks (from TEVIN specifically) to get responses from the student support department, to the point where I had to tag the staff on a Discord group chat to get their attention. The course content somehow seems incomplete as most tasks (especially the capstone projects) do not relate to what has been learned in the 'pdfs'. Also shocking that it is a supposed tech company but they don't even have a proper student dashboard where one can obtain the course material. They basically give you a Dropbox link where you can obtain the course content.
You can teach yourself more from the internet than what you will learn in their 'pdf' course work. They boast that you will be career ready after taking their bootcamps and almost promise that you will get a job after completing it but most of the student job success is because they hire past students to be teachers and mentors for the next year.Melanie of HyperionDev

Not for beginners. Waste of money.
I was told by the admissions department that this course was suitable for complete beginners. It is not. The course content is written in an overly complicated way, expecting some previous knowledge and a lot of independent research. The examples used in the course material are so far removed from the compulsory tasks that they are unhelpful. At the end of every reading I feel lost. I have to read the compulsory task and spend hours researching the topic via google before I can even atte...I was told by the admissions department that this course was suitable for complete beginners. It is not. The course content is written in an overly complicated way, expecting some previous knowledge and a lot of independent research. The examples used in the course material are so far removed from the compulsory tasks that they are unhelpful. At the end of every reading I feel lost. I have to read the compulsory task and spend hours researching the topic via google before I can even attempt the task. Once your task is reviewed you have to resubmit if it's below 75% correct. You receive your feedback but there is no option to message back to the reviewer. Which means if what they are requesting doesn't make sense or feels unfair you are on your own. I opted for a part time course and made it clear to the admissions department that I would be studying alongside a full time job. I made it clear I would only be able to dedicate 10 hours a week to the course. The pace of the course matched with the amount of research needed outside of the material provided by the course means I would never be able to complete this course within the allotted time. The amount of research needed outside of the course material means the course is a waste of money. I could spend 10 hours a week completing youtube tutorials and reading online forums and learn more than this course. I don't know what I have paid for as I do not feel I will come out of this course in 6 months with any confidence or ability to get a job in this field.
They speak a lot about offering lots of support. My experience of the discord channel is the mentors on there don't understand how to teach a beginner. If they can't help you they refer you to book a longer call with a mentor. These calls are available mon-fri in normal working hours. However the availability is never next day which means you are on your own for at least a few days. Also, with managing studies alongside a full time job, it means most of the calls (when there are any available) are at times when I am at work.
This course has left me feeling stressed and depressed. And down a lot of money!Melanie of HyperionDev

worth every penny
I joined this bootcamp with no coding skills, now I am confident with my skills, and I believe I am ready to join the tech industry.
What you see is definitely what you get, and when I applied, I didn't believe I'd get to where I am today with my coding skills.
The journey may have not been easy, but it was worth it, and I do not regret my decision to join this bootcamp.Melanie of HyperionDev
