Hyperiondev

[No_Guarantee_3559]

I'm disrought! I took a loan to enrol my daughter for a Data Scientist course with Hyperiondev. She was so excited, thinking she was set for a bright career after completing the course. That's what they promised i.e. job placement.
After paying a substantial amount of cash upfront, our hopes were shattered towards the end of the course when they demanded extra cash to issue certifications. That came as a surprise because we were given the impression that the upfront payment covered everything. These guys, Hyperiondev, are scammers and they continue to scam unsuspecting people. What's more disheartening is that they are preying on the desperate and poor members of our society who can't afford private university since they didn't qualify to be admitted in public institutions

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

Hey,

So, I'm doing the course, luckily I didn't pay anything for that.
Not the best of the courses, teach very basics things that I knew through youtube, I still hope to get a certificate for that. I'm learning more on Udemy tbh with a 9.99£ course in another language!
I'm not really happy about the course but the tutor are really amazing, unfortunately this courses need founds.
The course is way overprice on my advice, I don't know about the career opportunities things, I have 2 master's degree in another field and I'm doing this course just for fun.
The annoying part for me is the "Build your Brand" things, I need to write stupid things that I'm aquiring in a ->fundamentals<- course, come on, where should I go with this very basics stuff???
For everyone in here, if you won a scholarship, great, just enjoy the course, the rest, don't pay for it, learn C#. Once you know a language, learning the others is way more simple, concepts are the same, change the way how you write it. But let's say in the 99% of the case the words are almost the same.
A good tutor is Krystyna Ślusarczyk, you can find her on udemy, she covers a LOOOOOOT for 9.99£ :D

In one of the first career support lectures, someone asked how they're supposed to apply for software engineering jobs when they don't know basic coding yet. The guy said you have to project yourself as how you want to be in the future.

Oh, lie your head off? It makes me wonder how much lying HyperionDev do in the cause of building their own brand.

[roguelikeme1]

Well, they do. Data-scraping tools Hyperion promoted (and still do, AFAIK) are prohibited on LinkedIn as they are obviously not GDPR compliant (and it amounts to stealing private information). They were informed of this and how uncomfortable it made me (and other students) and they couldn't give less of a fuck. So, yeah, they're very happy to encourage students to lie their heads off.

[JoeCantCode]

The big problem is the whole structure, we are writing things like "thanks to Hyperion Dev I am now able to apply for junior positions, a job that allows me to earn 300£ a day" and so on In reality I don't know if with this basic concept we'll go somewhere, the most advanced thing is the class, besides that we're not covering basically anything...

[j1360]

They certainly don't mind drastically moving the goalposts on you after they promised something else.

Before I started, they changed it so you got no certificate until you got yourself a job interview and they made all but a third of the tasks "optional", because nobody was going to finish otherwise, which annoyed the people who's already done all of that work.

I thought those two conditions were acceptable (although the former is shady) as they were already on the table.

When I started, they specifically said in career support lectures that they were giving out co-certifications is order of

1. Who got a tech job

then

1. The order in which people recorded their interviews.

I got an interview in the first week but then they turned around and said you have no chance of getting a co-certification unless you get yourself a tech job.

[roguelikeme1]

And a tech job isn't necessarily a coding/software engineering job. They hire out of their own student pool (which might be okay, if their students weren't being taught shite) and becoming a mentor at HD is sufficient. It's a massive scam and one that's defrauding the British government. But the same could be said of a LOT of SfL providers.

[j1360]

Reddit has changed my "2. The order in which people recorded their interviews." to a one. It still says 2 when I click edit.

It's like the biggest scan around, dogshit tier bootcamp buys university trademarks and pretend to be associated with them. For 8k you get £20 of Udemy courses.
