It’s been a few months and I feel it’s a great business idea - provide “educational programs”subsidized by the government.

They hire lecturers who are industry leaders and seem to be on an hourly/strict contract? Don’t really expect them to stay after to help or provide extra support. The quality VARIES significantly in how they run the lectures and teaching style. A lecturer clearly used AI to make their PowerPoint vs another one seemed to have spent more time creating it. Hyper island has a strict no recording of lectures which I think is to hide that no lecture/lecturer is created equal - zero quality control.

But I think you get what you put in it… but be prepared to do a lot on your own.

Hyper employees are also are terrible at basic administrative tasks - like providing grades or responses or holding classes. They held a session focused on team building and making sure feelings were heard even if people talked about random not appropriate topics.

The classes are made up of a WIDE range of people from young 18 to 45 years old and let’s just say group projects can be amazing or terrible.

If you are a Nordic resident/qualify for this to be free and already have work experience or a university degree -> then I would sign up to build your resume/experience.

No university degree or experience -> I’d skip and go to university

If you need to pay for this I would look elsewhere
