Completing the part-time web development course at HackerYou has been one of the most positive and self-motivating experiences I've had. I have not only learned new valuable skills, but I've also pushed myself to learn things I once thought were out of my comfort zone and loved it. All of the staff ...

Going to Hacker You was a fantastic way to learn about HTML/CSS and WordPress. The courses I took were beyond thorough. They got into the nitty gritty of the web and I really value the education that I got. I remember getting a class assignment in my web dev class to recreate a magazine photo. It wa...

I have recently just completed the Summer 2018, Part-time JavaScript Course and I d have to say that 6 weeks is really not enough. Felt like there was a lot to process and by the time the material tarts to sit in, the course is done. Cest la vie.

We've sent an employee here through the government grant program and they made it so easy to work with them. They truly are one of the great tech trainers in the city.
I attended Juno College on a part-time basis and the experience was extremely positive. Instructors were knowledgeable and very helpful. If you were not sure of something they would try to explain it differently if needed. Exercises and code-along practice was also helpful in learning the principles...
I spent 12 years in logistics & distribution. But in the last few years, after attending a few workshops and conferences, an itch to pursue coding led me to study it in my spare time.
Self-discipline allowed me to develop the skills needed to get accepted into the full-time HackerYou bootcamp. In...
I am a product manager, with no design experience. I took the UX design course at Hacker You with Ricardo as the instructor. Ricardo is an incredible instructor, his passion and talent for design shows in every single class he teaches.
I learnt so much in this class and would definitely recomme...
I took the bootcamp in the fall of 2016, and previously to that, I took the part time intro and advanced into HTML and CSS at HackerYou.

You become part of a big HackerYou family that become your support system. I couldn't recommend this place enough. And most...
Life / Game changer. Took the Part Time Web Dev Sept 2016, and Winter Bootcamp Immersive in 2017. This school and its warm, inclusive community changed my life! Thank you for existing :)
I just completed two JS courses at HackerYou and I highly recommend it! The instructors are engaging, helpful, and are great at teaching web concepts. My favourite aspect of HackYou is having codealongs with the instructors and the amazing supportive community.
Amazing learning environment. Knowledgeable instructor and mentors. Learning JavaScript might sound very difficult but the instructor made it so fun and easy. Thank you!
I couldn t have asked for a better experience at HackerYou. I took both the part-time web development course and then Web Development Immersive (bootcamp). All the instructors were friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about teaching code. The curriculum was fast-paced, focused on modern developmen...
So I've been at HackerYou doing the web development course and I'd highly recommend it if you want to design you own website before I continue I'm not being paid to write this review this is of my own experience. Anyway the instructor Tom he's top notch. I found the class to be good and easy to unde...
I took the Intro/Advanced Web Development course this past summer just to get a feel of what basic coding was like. One of the best experiences of my life - the things that make this different from other crash coding schools and technical colleges are the mentors and the resources HackerYou gives. I...
I recently completed the Front-End dev intensive boot camp at HackerYou. At the time I was a teacher and was wanting to upgrade my skills and change carreers. It was an extremely exciting time for me as I moved from Kingston Ontario back to Toronto for the summer while my family stayed home. The sc...

I am in the last week of the part-time web development course at HackerYou with Jazz and it has been an amazing experience!
From the first day of the class, all of the instructors, mentors, and staff at HackerYou have been so welcoming and helpful. The course is very structured and during each c...
Full Stack Master Class - Toronto - Fall 2018
Taking this class has really helped me to catch up on the Java side of development along with learning React which was something I've been wanting to do for awhile but didn't get around to it. The lecturers know what they're teaching and wouldn't hesi...
(reply to the owner's post) : I respect that you replied to my comment and I agree that you are unmistakably on top of the game. Since I have your attention please hear my reasons. My review is not from my experience but my friend's, who was first guided to take one of your short courses in hopes of...
Most likely going to be one of the most pivotal decisions I've made in my life. Before HackerYou, I was more or less lost. I had been in a job as a developer before and then a year as a web administrator. I was plagued with 'imposter syndrome' and my confidence in my own skills as a developer were, ...
I took UX Design and Ricardo was a great teacher, Winter and Lin were awesome mentors. All were very approachable and their unique skills contributed to a well rounded learning experience. Their enthusiasm made every class a pleasure to attend. I felt like I learned something new in every class. Not...
I went to Hacker You this summer hopeful that my life would change and it did in ways that honestly exceeded my expectations and hopes. In 9 weeks I did not learn everything there is to know about progamming and everything that might come up on the job. But I learned something more important, how to...
The material was presented in a thoughtful and fun manner. The instructors and mentors made available during this course were AMAZING. Both knowledgable and kind they facilitated a wonderful environment for learning. Beyond teaching the material all instructors and mentors showcased the collaborativ...
If you have ever been curious to learn about coding in a supportive environment, this is THE place to do it! The staff, teachers, mentors, and fellow students all help to create an amazing learning atmosphere. After taking the 12-week Web Dev course, I am so impressed with how much I have learned an...
Amazing community, amazing instructors, great environment for learning. Their project based learning helps you turn that theory into real-life usage ASAP and really accelerates your learning. I took the part-time intro/advance web-development class and going into the Bootcamp for the summer time!
Love this Part-time course! Coming from a Graphic design background, It gave me a good platform of understanding great practices of UX/UI in the tech industry. Instructors are super friendly. I love the atmosphere! Students are pre-selected and screened to ensure each class is well diverse and goal...
I had a great educational experience at HackerYou. I started Jan 2016 in the Intro to Web Development with Ann. The class was amazing; I learned so much and had a great time. Its been almost a year and I still reference my lessons as useful resources. As a graphic designer, I am confident to call my...
Awesome learning experience. Without HY I would not have made such a pivotal shift in my career path. I went from an overworked and underpaid job to one that I am excited about coming into every day. If you're interested in just learning some new skills or changing your career I would highly recomme...
I took the part-time web development fundamentals and advanced web development course and had an amazing experience. I've wanted to start learning to code for a long time but didn't know where to start with online resources. The instructors at HackerYou break down the curriculum and code along with ...
Long story short: Juno helped me make a career change and get hired as a front-end developer during the COVID-19 pandemic!
In university I studied anthropology and French. I planned to work in academia, but after completing a Master's degree in anthropology I realized that this was not a viable o...
HackerYou is unique in the fact that it was founded by a woman who aims to empower others. Upon stepping into HackerYou's space for the first time, I felt welcome due to feeling represented by the staff and students there.
I have been taught by Tom, Katie, Mark, and Shang of the ConEd team and I ...
I took the part time web development class ( which focused on HTML and CSS) as well as the part time JavaScript class at Juno.

Had so much fun and learned so much!
Wish there was a way I could do their bootcamp without having to quit my current job :(
Maybe in the future you guys will offer evening class bootcamps?!?!
Would and will recommend to anyone interested in Web Dev!
I took the full-time bootcamp/course. The instructors were amazing, very knowledgable and up-to-date. I was employed within a week upon graduation. if you're looking to advance in your career as a developer, I highly recommend this school.
I had minimal knowledge about Web Development prior to attending HackerYou and I feel as though I have learned a great deal over the past 12 weeks. There are many schools in Toronto with a Web Dev learning program but I am definitely glad that I chose HackerYou. The environment is fun and friendly a...
I took the web development immersive course upon recommendations of multiple people I knew. My goal for this course was to gain technical competency in front-end web development as a focus, with a background in interaction design. The bootcamp exceeded my expectations and offers not only a great tec...
I enrolled in the PT Web Dev course in the Spring of 2017. It was an amazing experience and I am so glad I decided to go through with it. I attended classes twice a week after a full- day of work but I never dreaded it, I was always excited to come to class. Believe me I like my free-time outside of...
I started with a promising career; working as a Multidisciplinary Web & Graphic Designer in Australia and England for solid companies. But the travel bug got the better of me and I then spent 6 years in Japan teaching English. When I moved to Canada and tried to jump back into design, the fact that ...
"You don't truly understand something until you can explain it to your grandma" -A. Einstein. In my experience learning new skills takes on the 80/20 rule. 80% frustrating and 20 wanting to give up. Which is probably why many of us pick up new skills and are quick to give up. HackerYou really unders...
I'm just finishing up Part-Time Web Development and I have never been more excited about coding than I am now.
Some classes can be fast-paced and have a lot of information, but it's not a lecture-type lesson. You are constantly coding along with the instructor and there is always a mentor availab...
I was at a crossroads in my life when I heard about HackerYou. Fresh after writing the LSAT, I was struggling trying to figure out if that was the right path for me. After a few months of contemplation, I realized that if I was ever going to make a leap of faith into a different field, it had to be ...
Great place to study for a front-end web development!
The best thing about this school is teachers and program that really helps you understand and implement all knowledge's in projects.
Great learning environment! The part-time web dev course is by previous graduates who have come a long way and are living testimonies of how these courses can ultimately direct you to career in the tech industry. Very encouraging and informative!
I'm currently enrolled in the Intro to Web Development course, and Anne is a really great teacher. Super passionate and I personally find her style of teaching very easy to understand.
I took the part time JavaScript program this summer, 2018, and I thought it was a very good class. It gives a really good view into the language and some of the add-on libraries and languages like jQuery, React, and Node.
It was a challenging course but well taught. The teacher was nice and accom...
HackerYou ranks in the top 10 best experiences of my life! I took the part-time Ruby on Rails course in the spring of 2014. I remember being so excited about what we were learning and how fast we were able to build things! I have an undergraduate and master degree from two Canadian universities and...
I just completed Juno's 2 week Web development course and as challenging as it was for a code newbie, it has been extremely rewarding. 2 weeks ago I was learning about the internet and basic HTML and now I can somewhat successfully create a responsive web page! I never in my wildest dreams thought I...
As an HTML/CSS developer, I have often mulled over learning JavaScript. This past summer, I finally took the leap and enrolled in the part-time JavaScript Fundamentals and Advanced courses at HackerYou.
I chose HackerYou because my daughter is an alumna and I was a first-hand witness to her excel...
Great experience and great teachers! Comfortable and easy learning environment.
Took the UX course, and can not recommend Ricardo enough!
I had a great time attending classes at Hackeryou_ College of technology. I am confident in understanding the foundation of HTML and CSS. I am excited to continue learning coding languages and would absolutely go back to any program at Hackeryou_.
Honestly wish I could give this place a better review. But sadly I can't. The info they present is good, but very surface level. There is very little deep information of why things are working. Yes you will learn the basics to slap together a page, but you will lack the understanding of why it's wor...
I did the UX design + advanced course in fall of 2018, Ricardo was a great instructor, and the guest lectures were really helpful, however I felt a lot of the class time was spent working on the final project.
The small in-class exercises are a great way to learn, and really helped getting to know ...
I just finished my part time intro to web-dev course and it has been an amazing experience. Extremely helpful mentors available almost 24/7 to answer any of the questions and a really open,friendly and inclusive environment. I would recommend this to any and everyone who ants to make a career change...
I recently graduated from Hackeryou's Web Immersive program. The experience has been exceptional. All the staff are extremely knowledgeable and supportive. Same goes with all my fellow classmates. I never would have imagined making such great friends in such a short amount of time.
The first step...
Took the full time bootcamp, part time full-stack, and part time design courses. All of them have been massively beneficial to my career. Not to mention the amazing post-grad support and the ever-present alumni community.
Great experience! Very supportive mentors, especially Sarah, Estela and Robin are very patient and helpful!
I took the part time Web Dev class, and was surprised by how much they could cram into the short 12 week session. It never felt overwhelming, I could handle it all thanks to the support of the instructors and teaching assistants. I will be taking the JavaScript course this fall.
I graduated university and grazed over some web dev courses but never thought it could be something I could do as a career. I didn't know how to go about it further so I decided to go to college for it and absolutely hated my experience. It was old school and dry- I dropped out after one semester.
...
Incredible all-around experience. Wonderful community, sincere interest in providing the best possible outcomes for their students, and great company values. HackerYou is an amazing and inclusive place to learn, meet people and reach personal goals. I've taken multiple courses here, and the incredib...
I took the Part Time Web Development course this summer and I found it to be a great experience. I learned a lot such as HTML 5, CSS, RWD, and even some JavaScript and jQuery.

I've just completed my second HackerYou part-time course (started with Front-End Development, then did Javascript). I love being a part of this community and the confidence I gain with each new skill set I develop. I'm now working in tech and have been building tools that are going to help me progr...
I highly recommend Hacker You and their course intro to web development! Our teacher Katie and all the mentors go above and beyond. They are all nice, encouraging, helpful and compassionate. They also teach material that is up to date and give us great notes and materials to refer to! I got a lot ou...
I just recently finished taking the Part Time Web Development program at HackerYou and I must say, I am extremely pleased with the experience I had. I am 35, married with two little ones and I had been looking to change career paths for a little bit, having been in my past position for 9 years and n...
I completed the Intro & Advanced Web Development part-time course (with Wes) in 2014 and loved it.
The course was up to date with industry best practices and extremely hands on. I walked a way with a number of projects to start a portfolio.
The community is very friendly, inclusive and support...
HackerYou definitely accepts all students from different academic backgrounds. It doesn't matter what you studied previously, the curriculum is structured to build your skills and create a solid foundation in web development. The pace of the course allows you absorb the knowledge each week and if yo...
Going to HackerYou is the best decision I've made professionally. My career prospects have broadened, I have a job that I love, and I have met just the most amazing community they've built around the program.

I just completed the Full-Time Web Development Immersive bootcamp at HackerYou, and I can honestly say that it was an awesome and life changing experience. Heather (CEO) and her team are a group of amazing individuals who go all out to ensure every bootcamp student is extremely well equiped for futu...
Going to HackerYou was the best decision I've ever made - the programs, instructors, community and support far surpassed every expectation I had.
I initially took the part-time web development course before transferring into the full-time bootcamp. I was offered a job as a developer before even f...
I knew I had to go into a classroom setting to learn coding after several halfhearted attempts trying it myself with online courses. The material in those courses are great and I still use them from time to time but I find that it is all too easy to get discouraged as coding can be downright intimid...
I took a UX Design course (Fundamentals and Advanced) last fall with Ricardo and I absolutely enjoyed my experience. I had no prior design experience before joining the course so I was very eager to learn more about UX Design! I was nervous during the first day of class however, that changed quickly...
** EDIT - DEC 2017 **
When I started researching courses earlier this year I was actually skeptical of all the glowing five-star reviews online, but now I'm one of those people saying that this place is really something special - I really can't praise HackerYou highly enough! The staff and instru...
Fresh out of university with a physics degree, I went back to work at Home Depot for over two years. Without a Masters or a PhD, it would've been tough finding a job that interested me. I hated the thought of going back to school for years, needing to take electives I didn't want to take, worrying a...
I took the intro and advanced Web Development course at HackerYou with some knowledge of coding and finished it with a better understanding of how to build any website from scratch with the proper techniques. The mentors and instructor were so kind and helpful with the class to solve any problem tha...
I was pretty jaded towards school by this point, but HackerYou really turned that around for me. I'd gone through University and colleges and had sort of bounced around a few career paths. I was wary going back to school, especially a tech bootcamp after all the "real school" i'd done... it was supe...
I took the part-time web development hoping to just add a new skill set. I ended up learning and enjoying the course so much that I applied for the full time immersive bootcamp. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and are able to speak from real life experiences in the industry whi...
I would highly recommend HackerYou to everyone who is interested in learning more about web development! I completed the Spring 2018 part time Intro to Web Dev course and I fell in love with it. I was looking to steer my career in a different direction from what I have been doing for 4 years, and a...
This place changed my life in the most incredible way. Both the course material and the instructors prepare you extremely well for situations and problems you will face in your career as a dev. The community that comes with this experience is priceless. Truly A++++ in my eyes.
I just completed the Part-time Web-development course at HackerYou (2018). I thoroughly enjoyed the classes and learnt so much about web-development and coding in these few months than I did in my 3 years of college studying computer science! Jazz is an amazing instructor! She explains even the hard...
I just completed a 12-week Part-Time Web Development program at HackerYou, and can say without a doubt that it was the most enriching learning experience of my life thus far.
From the moment I walked through the door for my tour of the campus, I've been greeted with a smile, and that feeling of w...
Nice place. great to chill and learn. Instructors are well educated and good at their job
I did the Intro and Advanced HTML and CSS course. The classes had an amazing ratio of students to instructors. The class was a lot of fun and I finished the classes with the knowledge to build a website from scratch.
As a graduate of the Web Development Immersive Bootcamp, I had a wonderful nine weeks here at HackerYou. We covered a lot of the basics and were able to build on our fundamentals by the introduction of more advanced concepts. The staff are very kind, extremely knowledgeable and up to date with new t...
I had an extremely positive experience at Juno College during the Accelerated Web Development course Summer 2020. I started the course completely from scratch (without knowledge about web development) and I completed the course feeling prepared to join soon the Web Development Bootcamp at Juno as we...
HackerYou is totally first class. I have only great things to say.
I was accepted into the bootcamp following the part-time web dev course, which I started immediately after high school. A month after graduating, I'm now happily employed and the course will have paid for itself by the end of the ...
I started my journey with HackerYou back in the fall of 2012 and their first part-time web development class. I've since gone on to take a number of other classes with them, including the full-time bootcamp in winter 2014. Not only did I receive a supportive education that led me to landing my dream...
With no experience or idea that I'd want to turn code into a career I took the part time Intro to Wed Dev course at HY and less than 6 months after completing it went back for the full time immersive Bootcamp.
I spent 9 weeks making friends, learning wonderful new skills, solving millions of proble...
The class, the people, the location everything was great and convenient. After three months taking the part-time web development class, I have a much better understanding of HTML5 and CSS3. Learning Flexbox and some SCSS languages were my primary goals, and I m confident using them. I found it more...
I took the part-time JavaScript course at HackerYou and now I'll be going into the full-time Bootcamp. I highly recommend HackerYou. They have an incredible support system and a team of dedicated teachers/mentors who are always willing to help.
Tiff was my instructor and she as amazing. The pacin...
Worth the price. I know a lot of people talk about prices being steep, but when you factor in what you get when you get to the Web Development Bootcamp (the skills to make a great career change), it's worth it.
Great staff, great teachers, great community of alumni around you. My experience here ...
I took the front end dev bootcamp at HackerYou during the fall of 2016. It was super challenging but I learned an incredible amount during the 9 weeks. One week after I graduated I got a job at a Toronto agency. The community at HY is inclusive and diverse! Highly recommend taking courses here, it's...
I attended Hacker You's Full time front end bootcamp AND the UX Design class. I learned so much from both courses and was propelled into my career in tech. The UX course with Ricardo gave me the foundations I needed to break into a UX design role, I still reference my notes from the course. Ricardo ...
