    Hyperion Dev Review

    Hyperion Development offers a coding education that is not otherwise offered in South Africa (as far as I know). The quality of the material is great and up to date and the 1-on-1 support offered by their mentors is great for getting through difficult parts. They offer a wide array of certificates, from web development to some data science. As far as coding schools go, you can't go wrong with this one.

    Inviting, exciting, challenging

    I think the HyperionDev bootcamp invites a student to advance their knowledge in selected category. While challenging to maintain a high work ethic and commitment to their specific field of learning.

    Great Hands On Coding Experience

     The HyperionDev Software Engineering Bootcamp provided a solid introduction to full stack development. The mentorship and feedback were especially helpful, and the projects were practical and aligned with real-world scenarios. It was an intense but rewarding experience that strengthened both my coding and problem-solving skills.

    Good experience at Hyperion Dev

    I am almost done with my software engineering bootcamp and must say I've came a long way from day one with the help of the tasks and mentors. The tasks are challenging but you always have mentors on standby to book a one on one session with to help you overcome any challenges and give you feedback on your work. I can recommend Hyperion Dev.

    i have gained far more from this bootcamp than expected and was well guided by the many mentors and other members of support that they offer.If you are ever thnking of getting into code and or learning a new form of code i would highly recommend this bootcamp to you.

    I honestly didn't know what to expect heading into my Software Engineering course bar from that I'm going to be doing some coding, which was something I was alread  familiar with. 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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Worst bootcamp!!!!!!. They don't really care about you they are quick to take your money. Hyperion gives you false information and accuses you when you want to get a refund. After months of chasing them sending emails back and forth they offered me a small portion of my money back, even though I was entitled to a full refund. Absolutely unprofessional Don't waist your time theirs better bootcamps out there. For someone that rarely even leaves reviews This is a honest review. I am disappo...

    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...

    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.
