General Assembly Reviews & Product Details

We have loved our experience with General Assembly's online courses and instructors. The range of beginner, intermediate and expert courses is incredible. General Assembly offers a range of options for learners, from immersive courses for individuals who want to switch to a new career to refresher courses and more advanced professional offerings. The academic curriculum for each course is always rich and well-planned, and General Assembly also provides access to executives for networking, along with great job opportunities post-graduation.

General Assembly's online programs can be costly and the onboarding process can take time. It can also get expensive as you advance your learning via GA's modules. The full cost of the programs can continue to grow based on your progression and advancement through the modules. Your experience and takeaways from the program will also be contingent on the quality of the instructors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the variety of courses that General Assembly offers and the fact that you can do courses both online and in person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't really anything I dislike about General Assembly. If anything, I would say that some of the courses that are supposed to be more in-depth are a little higher-level than I was hoping, but maybe that's just a mismatch of expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GA offers an extensive course roster along with flexible learning alternatives suitable for anyone's busy schedule. Taking one of their courses is simple and stress-free. The instructors clearly care about what they're teaching and it was an overall enjoyable experience that I'd recommend to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not that this would be a consideration when taking one of their remote learning courses, but their Chicago based in-person location could use a bit of a facelift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The courses are just really well done. Broken in to chunks, well paced, short videos, follow-along content that isn’t arduous and also not a waste of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the courses can be expensive and prohibitive unless your work can help support the learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GA networking breakfasts and happy hours are a great way to meet folks in your industry/city. Great variety of topics, speakers, attendees--I learned about a lot of new, young tech companies in my city by attending. The classes all look awesome but I haven't taken any.

Wish there was more time to do group projects and hands on material. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been able to take advantage of a couple of the free courses at General Assembly. One on UX Research and one on Digital Marketing. It's a good starting point for getting a peek into an industry and a preview of what their paid courses might offer and give you. They also have hosted other free events around Atlanta for UX professionals. Great way to network and stay in touch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They're paid courses are VERY expensive. It seems like a high-quality education center, but I haven't been able to justify the costs for myself yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that General Assembly offers many live stream free resource options - from Data Analytics live streams to Intro to Digital Marketing. they also offer part-time and full-time classes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The paid classes are very expensive, I would venture to say maybe too expensive? I also wish that the streaming classes were accessible anytime, anywhere instead of having to sign up for a date and time. That would be so nice to be able to access it whenever.

I like that there is a number of different types of classes as well that they are offered both online and in person. If you don't want to do a full semester type course, they offer single day ones which is great to get out of the office for a little bit! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes when I google or search for classes and they come up, they aren't actually available which can be a little misleading. It can kind of get your hopes up so maybe try to keep up with all the classes that are being advertised and making sure they are available to take. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
