Amazing, professional team!!! They go deeper to the different tools to get you prepare for the market needs.

Great team of instructors!

Enjoyed the class and felt like it was worth the time and effort.

Horribly overpriced and grossly misrepresented in marketing. I was promised expert instructors and skills that could take someone from no experience to "job ready". Half of the time, I was just watching videos on my own. When instructors were there, I did not feel I gained any benefit from that. If I asked questions that went beyond the written test, they rarely had any answers for me. I was among the top 4 students in my cohort, but was consistently told I "have a good foundation" but am not ready for an entry level position. Only one of my cohort fellows ended up in a programming position in the year and a half since we finished, and that was with her former employer, doing website work. I am stuck with a crippling monthly payment for nothing.

Completed their product management course. Content was thin for a 10-week program. Most of it could be picked up from a book. I wouldn’t recommend it for those entering product management. I found that the Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) course is more recognised and practical.

I recently completed the General Assembly Data Analytics Bootcamp and had a fantastic experience. The program was hands-on, well-structured. The instructors were knowledgeable and supportive. What stood out most were the hands-on projects — they helped me apply what I was learning in meaningful ways and built my confidence with real data. A special shoutout to Sabine - the admissions specialist, who played a huge role in my journey. From our very first conversation, she was encouraging, informative, and genuinely invested in my success. Her support made the decision to enroll easy and gave me confidence from day one. That positive start really shaped the rest of my experience. I left GA with practical skills and a clear path forward. I’m now recommending GA to anyone interested in data or considering a career change—it’s an experience that truly delivers.

Attending GA has been a meaningful experience that helped shape both my academic and personal growth. The environment is generally welcoming, and most of the teachers are passionate about what they do. They genuinely care about student success, and many go the extra mile to explain things clearly and offer help outside class hours

Totally got ripped off by Caroline and Stephanie. General Assembly is dead or has been dead… it’s all online… paid $3000, got refunded $2900 back. Scam!
