We've helped thousands of students land their dream job in tech. Discover how we will help you.
Our application process is made up of three steps:
Ironhack is committed to diversity in the tech sector, so there is a discount of 10% for women in the Web Dev and Data Analytics bootcamp and for veterans in all our bootcamps. Other scholarships and discounts are launched together with partners who want to encourage education in tech and those are announced when we close an agreement. If you are interested in these initiatives, you can stay updated using this form. We don't offer general scholarships or discounts
#Ironhackers is our community of alumni, teachers, and mentors! Our relationship doesn't end once the course is over: once an Ironhacker, always an Ironhacker.
Yes, you should have your own computer. If you are enrolled in the Web Dev or Data Analytics Bootcamps, any operative system should be fine. For the UX/UI Design Bootcamp, we try to adapt to the industry standards so we recommend you to check what operating system they prefer. Most of campus use software like Sketch or Flinto, only available for Mac, but you can also use alternative programs. In general, the computer should have 8GB of RAM and no older than 5 years.
Firstly, the goal of our admissions process is to select a cohort that will be able to move more or less at the same pace. Secondly, completing the pre-work is important to make sure that everyone has the same foundational knowledge. That being said, some people will move faster than others, but that's OK! Our curriculum is designed to adapt itself to those that are moving more quickly and those that need a bit more personalized attention.
The full time program requires exclusive dedication, it is not compatible with other studies or work. The classes go from Monday to Friday, from 9am to 6pm, and you should dedicate a lot of your free time to do the daily exercises. The experience is inmersive and demanding. We recommend this program if you want to do a career change and give up your current profession.
The part time program allows you to work and study at the same time; the classes are taught two weekdays and on Saturdays. You should dedicate around 10 to 15 hours of your free time for homework. It is a demanding program, and you will have to be extremely organized to meet the deadlines. We recommend this program if you don't want to quit your job and you want to increase your network of contacts in class.
Both programs include the same content and are equally demanding, and you will have the same professional profile after graduation. We suggest that you make a decision according to your personal circumstances.
It varies depending on the bootcamp and campus, but we typically have around 20 students per class. There is 1 Lead Teacher per bootcamp and 1 Teacher Assistant for every 10 students.

Sure! Ironhack is designed for those who want to start their career in the tech industry. Please check our syllabus and gather all the information for each of the programs. Keep in mind that all our Bootcamps are super intensive. Learning to code is not easy, but if this is what you really want to do, get ready to change your life!
At Ironhack, you can find a wide range of profiles: recent graduates, people who never went to college, waiters, filmmakers, psychologists, Human Resources specialists, enterpreneurs, artists, people with a lot of years of working experience... We also admit students that have basic knowledge in some coding languages or in graphic design but they want to update their skills and boost their career. What they all have in common is their passion for tech and their need for specialization in an intensive education that gives them the technical skills needed to change or boost their career.
Each person chooses their own learning path; however, many self-taught students give up this kind of training due to lack of motivation and models. In our program, you will have tight deadlines. You will be able to ask your questions to our Lead Teachers, and you will have to put every lesson into practice with real-life projects that will be supervised by the Education team. Also, it will be an inmersive experience in which your classmates will become your family.
At Ironhack, we believe that diversity and inclusion means supporting everyone. Your age or previous background is not a problem to join the Bootcamp. If you are worried about companies rejecting your profile or having difficulties to get to the job market, we can evaluate your case and check if the Bootcamp is aligned with your career goals. At Ironhack, we are committed to give you an honest feedback and orientation in your career. We admit anyone who shows the Ironvalues and wants to improve their technical skillset.
Bootcamps are not for everyone, even if anyone can apply for them. The concept of bootcamp comes from the military camps: it means effort, teamwork and passion above anything else. Our Bootcamps are designed for reinventing education and go beyond the passive traditional education. Learning is based on projects, and there are no grades or exams. You will get constant feedback from teachers and classmates, our methodology is hands-on and you will be supported by the Careers Department to achieve your career goals. At Ironhack, the title is not the most important thing, but our job market network, our ability to adapt the content to the market needs and the technical skills of the Ironhackers.
Each program is different. In general terms, the programs include 50 hours of pre-work, 9 or 24 training weeks and 1 extra week of career support. All the programs' structures are divided in 3 modules and end with a final project that the student should create from scratch and present to the class.
You can download the syllabus for each course on our website. As a recap:
Ironhack bootcamps are designed for you to start your career as a Junior Data Analyst, Web Developer or UX/UI Designer profile. However, depending on your background and expectations, we can give you orientation to make sure this is the training you are looking for. During the Career Week, our Career Coaches will help you stablish your goals and will guide you in your job search.
Keep in mind that you will do a personal interview before your admission to the program and we will be able to evaluate your personal situation.
Yes, the content is the same for all Ironhack campuses. Of course, each instructor has its own teaching style but the methodology and structure will always be the same. This alignment allow us to implement changes in the curriculum when we detect global trends or include improvements based on the feedback from students coming from different parts of the world.
At Ironhack our course and teaching practices follow three themes of pedagogy established through decades of teaching and learning research:
Constructive Learning
We recognize the difference between individuals and focus on avoiding the cookie-cutter education model often found in traditional schools. We provide the maximal guidance and instructional support to our students when they need them. Meanwhile we encourage motivated and capable students to continue learning beyond the curricula by providing additional learning resources that are carefully selected to strengthen their knowledge. What's more, every student will have the opportunity to idealize, prototype, and develop their own projects they feel fun and meaningful. We try our best to make our students feel their learning experiences are fulfilling and useful for realizing their dreams.
Learning By Doing
The best way to learn technology is by doing it. Our curricula is filled up with carefully designed hands-on exercises to help students translate knowledge into skills. While applying what they think they know in the hands-on work, students often find holes and mismatches in their knowledge maps. They will then amend and fix those secretive problems. Also, during the iterative trial-and-error learning process, students will discover relations between seemingly isolated concepts and identify the most efficient way to accomplish tasks.
Cognitive Apprenticeship
You will find our instructors love explaining the "whys" in addition to the "hows" in coding and designing. This is because experts really differ from novices by knowing what to do at the right time and context. As apprentices of coding and design, it is important for the students to know the cognition of the veterans in order to really master the knowledge.
The pre-work is a mandatory online pre-course of around 100 hours that should be done one week before the starting of the class so all students start the adventure with a similar level of knowledge.
If you want to get more information about the content of the pre-work you can check the Content of the Program or download our syllabus, where everything is explained in detail.
Ironhack Bootcamps are really demanding. If you choose the Full Time program, you will have to dedicate all your free time during the week and one weekend day (Saturday, for example). We recommend you to rest at least one day in the weekend. If you choose the Part Time program you will have to dedicate about 10 or 15 extra hours, but this is a program compatible with your 8 hours job.
Our teachers are qualified professionals with wide experience who understand the needs of the job market and are used to train students with no technical background. You can see their profiles on the website, in each campus. The Full Time teachers combine teaching with their projects and personal companies, whereas the Part Time teachers work at the same time in other companies or in their own projects.
The Hackshow is the graduation event for students who complete the 9 weeks and the 3 projects, with this event we said goodbye to the Ironhackers and the best final projects of each edition are presented.
Yes, you can change your starting date if you let us know in advance and if there are available spots in the program. Please, remember that the place reservation payment is not refundable - exceptions are only made in a case by case basis
You should be enrolled in the program at least 1 month before the bootcamp starts so you have time to complete the mandatory pre-work. Remember that you should do your interview and the online test, so we recommend you to submit your application as soon as possible (at least 5 weeks before the program starts)
The admissions interview consists of a videocall or a personal interview of 30 minutes with the Admissions Manager of the chosen campus. In this interview we will get to know your profile and motivation for the selected program. We will determine if you are a good fit for the class and if you show the Ironvalues (can-do attitude, passion above anything else and love people and their stories). You will also get all your questions answered and we will let you know all the steps in the admissions process.
The interview will be in the same language in which the program of your choice is being taught.
The online test will evaluate your logical skills according to the requirements of the program. It is not a test based on knowledge but on abilities. We will send you the link, user and password so that you can take it as soon as possible. All you need is a free hour, good internet connection and avoid distractions. If you pass the test and the personal interview, you will recieve an admission letter for the program.
The test doesn't require any preparation or pre-work, you just need to show your logical skills
Yes, Ironhack is committed to their students to help them achieve their professional goals. We believe this is part of our mission and we want students to get involved in their own success. We have a Career Services department whose objective is to create relationships with companies and follow up with students in their selection processes. All our bootcamps include a Career Week in which you will develop and put into practice Job Hunting skills, we will help you to put together your CV and portfolio to get ready for the job market. The attitude, performance during the bootcamp and commitment of the students with their own goal is key to the success in the job search.
No, Ironhack never guarantees a job. If the students meet the criteria established in the contract, Ironhack can support them and give them guidance in the job search. Guaranteeing a job is something that is not in the school scope of work, it depends on the company and the student.
If your professional goals in terms of salary and job position are aligned with the job market, you can find a job in around 3 to 6 months after graduation. From Ironhack, we fight for tech companies to become more diverse in terms of backgrounds, ages and gender in their teams. That is why we try to demonstrate the ability of our students and get them ready for the most demanding selection processes.
Ironhack wants to help you to get your professional goals. If we don't have a campus in the country where you want to work, we can't guarantee direct help as we do in the countries where we are based on. However, you will have the support of your Career Coach to define an action plan and you will have acces to the Alumni network to get started wherever you want to be. As an Ironhacker, you belong to a global community
During the bootcamp you will learn the most required abilities, that is why some of our graduates are hired in all kinds of companies, from big companies to other tech start-ups that share our values, consultant companies and agencies. Check the Ironhackers LinkedIn profiles to get inspired!
