All Courses

Working in Admissions at a leading global tech school means I often meet people who are ready to change their life and career by learning the most in-demand skills. But a question I hear most often is: Which bootcamp is right for me?

The two bootcamps that are the most popular for career-changers and tech enthusiasts are Web Development and UX/UI Design. At Ironhack, we offer both of these courses either full-time or part-time where in a short amount of time, you will become proficient in this field, build your own portfolio and discover great new opportunities during the Hiring week afterwards,

Web Development

What:
In our web development course, you will learn how to design and build full-stack JavaScript web applications and learn how to think like a programmer. Set across 3 modules, you will learn Front-end development, Back-end development and finally the MERN Stack that will enable you to build your own full stack application in our final project week.

When:
We offer two bootcamps depending on your preference:

Full-time: 9 weeks, Mon — Fri, 9.00- 18.00

Part-time: 24 weeks, Tues & Thurs 18.30–21.30 and Saturdays 10.00–17.00

Both bootcamps will go through exactly the same content and curriculum, however our part-time course is especially for those who want to carry on working and/or who have other obligations and cannot do full-time.

Who:
This bootcamp is perfect for anyone who wants to change their career and gain new skills. We have a range of profiles: some who come from an IT background, some who have zero experience at all and some who just want to learn the most in-demand skill right now.

Everyone is welcome! All we ask for is motivation and dedication!

UX/UI Design

What:
Are you a visual mastermind? Do you like to understand people’s behaviour? In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of User Centered Design and learn to validate ideas by going through the design process starting with User Research, Rapid Prototyping and ending with User Testing & Iteration. Still want to learn web development? Great — as you will have 1 week of learning front-end web development skills in HTML, CSS & Bootstrap.

When:
We offer two bootcamps depending on your preference:

Full-time: 9 weeks, Mon — Fri, 9.00- 18.00

Part-time: 24 weeks, Tues & Thurs 18.30–21.30 and Saturdays 10.00–17.00

Both bootcamps will go through exactly the same content and curriculum, however our part-time course is especially for those who want to carry on working and/or who have other obligations and cannot do full-time.

Who:
This course is again suited to any level however if you’re creative, interested in psychology and human behaviour and of course — visual design — then this will be right up your street!

If you want to learn in a fast-paced, challenging environment and leverage your skills to become the next best Junior developer or UX/UI Designer, then following a bootcamp course could just be the thing you need!
