No matter if you choose remote, full-time, or part-time courses in Barcelona, Ironhack’s campus offers you something beyond your course; we offer events, chances to network and connect with your fellow Ironhackers, an awesome space to get your best work done, and much more. Unsure if you should take the full-time bootcamp? What about part-time? Or remote? Let’s discuss:
Our full-time bootcamps are ideal for those looking to get a new job soon and can exclusively dedicate nine weeks to learning. If you want fast results, this is for you.
Our part-time bootcamps are for those who can’t dedicate nine weeks to just the bootcamp; if you want to keep your job elsewhere or continue your studies in another institution, our part-time bootcamps are perfect for you. The results are the same as our full-time course, just spread out over more weeks to allow you time to handle your other commitments.
Our remote bootcamps are an option for everyone, even if you’re already located near our campus. These courses offer more flexibility and start dates, in addition to language variations, to help you choose the perfect course for you. And don’t worry about missing out on our events or course help; remote students are welcome at campus any day of the week and can benefit from everything offered to in-person students.
Our Madrid campus
Located at the stunning Matadero in Madrid, our campus has everything you need for success. This old slaughter house is now the location of restaurants, exhibits, and theater, making it the perfect place to experience Madrid. And just below Matadero, you can find a park and river that stretches across the bottom of the city; Madrid’s sunny weather means studying outside is always an option.
Our campus is open 6 days a week and is the perfect place to meet with your fellow Ironhackers, get some quiet studying done, and let loose on Friday afternoons with ping-pong and Ironbeers.
