Industry knowledge with great support

I started the remote Software Engineering bootcamp with HyperionDev as I wanted a structured course with the potential of support during my learning - this would have been a great change of pace since trying to be self taught for a few months prior.

From orientation, I was surprised at the high levels of professionalism from the team. This carried throughout the course, indicating a high functional team that would be able to handle all my requests and accommodate any reasonable requests.

The support was one of the key factors of choosing the course. I was able to speak to mentors that are extremely helpful in getting me over a conceptual hurdle. The remote mentor calls were a bit short at 30 mins, however I was able to get useable value from the calls. The mentors were friendly and eager to understand and help as best they could given the problem. The mentors are more so available on Discord, this proved to be the most useful to me. On Discord, one can ask questions and receive a response within a few hours at most to push one in the right direction.

The content is well structured and allows the student to research and google answers, simulating the environment in industry. While difficult in the beginning, I am now more confident in approaching problems that I don't know and what steps to take when this happens. The content assumes no prior knowledge of code, and starts off with simple concepts and builds on those foundations to later making use of those concepts to make projects that can be shown to prospective employers. The content does not just include coding concepts, but also rounded introductory concepts that someone would face in their workplace, like how software development teams plan, structure, and launch projects, Agile methodologies, etc.

While I have no graduated yet, I cannot speak to the careers services offered at HyperionDev, which was the main reason I took up their course. The promise of joining the network of alumni and any assistance in finding a job is an extremely helpful prospect especially since they are big industry players - I shall be updating this review when I enter their graduates part of the course.

OVerall, I think that if someone would like to learn the basics of how to code using Python and Java at industry level standards with a strong support system helping at every single step of the way, HyperionDev is the way to go. This can be for people who have never coded before in their life, or for people who need to round their skills up. HyperionDev, for the time spent, proves to learn a lot in its intensive course programme.
