Cool UX Bootcamp Experience
I recently completed the User Experience (UX) Bootcamp at BrainStation's Shoreditch Campus, and I had a great time learning and conversing with my peers and teachers. The experience was enlightening and enriched my understanding of UX design considerably.

First and foremost, the caliber of the instructors was outstanding. Their profound knowledge and evident passion for UX design made the learning experience exceptional. Their real-world insights and industry expertise added depth to the curriculum. Furthermore their feedbacks in 1 to 1 were quite helpful in improving my craft and motivated to push myself.
Furthermore, the collaborative aspect of the bootcamp (such as the sprints that we had to undertake) was invaluable. Collaborating with peers from diverse backgrounds fostered a multifaceted approach to problem-solving and encouraged creative thinking. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp • LondonSep 08, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Excellent Learning Experience
Overall a very positive experience of the data-science bootcamp. The lectures were well structured and offered a comprehensive walk from SQL and data cleaning to Neural Networks and AWS. The quality and industry knowledge of the instructors was excellent, which was invaluable in giving context to the material. Weekly assignments were great for practicing code implementation. I would highly recommended. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp • LondonSep 08, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Comprehensive, challenging and rewarding
The data science bootcamp was well-structured and delivered to a very high standard. The educators are experienced and committed to ensuring student success. One of the most challenging but, at the same time, highly enriching parts of the course - is the individual student project, which helps to start building your professional portfolio. Overall, there is a good balance between theoretical and practical knowledge. Fantastic London campus!

Awesome experience! Both the lead instructors in data science were excellent and the course was well structured. Course is intense in terms of time commitment and workload, but community is supportive.

Immersive, thorough, and Intense
This bootcamp was no joke! Try to come prepared with some basic UX knowledge and practice using Figma. My peers were awesome and I learned so much in the 3 months I was there. Their sole mission is to get job-ready by the end of the cohort. - AnonymousGraduate • User Experience Design Course • New York CitySep 06, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Educators that care
The real value at BrainStation is in the staff and educators who do everything in their power to make sure you feel supported and ready every step of the way. Their help in and outside of the classroom was invaluable. That said, your experience is ultimately what you make of it. More input on your end equates to more and better feedback from the instructors. BrainStation is a great place to gain a solid base of knowledge to kickstart a career in tech. - AnonymousGraduate • Full-Time Data Science Bootcamp Online • OnlineSep 01, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Worth it!
This course really is designed to equip you with knowledge of the industry so you can go get a job. While sometimes the instructors weren't of the highest quality, they have people with different industry experience that were able to pull from personal experience when they taught. Overall, would recommend. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Analytics Course • New York CityAug 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Very good introduction to the world of data
I took the Data Analytics course at BrainStaion and I very much enjoyed my experience. We learned the basics of data retrieval, processing and analysis. The classes took place in-person in NYC. The class schedule worked for me as I could attend after work. The instructor was awesome and very good at explaining on a higher level as well as breaking down the concepts for us. The class setup was good, and the office overall was renovated so it was a great experience. After a couple classes ...I took the Data Analytics course at BrainStaion and I very much enjoyed my experience. We learned the basics of data retrieval, processing and analysis.

The instructor was awesome and very good at explaining on a higher level as well as breaking down the concepts for us. The class setup was good, and the office overall was renovated so it was a great experience. After a couple classes of intro, we were encouraged to think about our final projects for submission. We had to choose a good-quality data set, get it approved by the instructor, and manipulate it using MySQL, pose questions about the dataset and work to find the answers, draw conclusions, visualize the insights using Tableau, and communicate the findings. The course concluded with a final project presentation to my fellow classmates. I learned a lot, and recommend it if you'd like an intro class. Note that this is not an engineering-school grade course and only exposes you to basic concepts. - AnonymousGraduate • User Experience Design Course • VancouverAug 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Summer course was helpful in getting a bird's eye view of design.
I haven't had a chance to process the experience as yet, however, there was a lot of material compressed in a short period of time. I can certainly say that it pushed me to learn Figma and try out design ideas and actually take action on getting some skills in usability rather than think about it (What if? Should I?, Is it Hard or Not so Bad?). Now I know a lot more than I did 8 weeks back! And I actually enjoyed most of it. Instructors and class mates were great. Overall it was an 8/10....I haven't had a chance to process the experience as yet, however, there was a lot of material compressed in a short period of time.

I just think that I have so many more questions now, and I see areas that I want to learn more about. I wish that we had more time, but I went from someone who had a hazy idea what a wireframe was to someone who can quickly draw one in 2 months. Hmm thats not too bad at all. - AnonymousStudent • User Experience Design Course • VancouverAug 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great Intro Experience
The certificate program for UX Design covered many topics over the short amount of time given. It was very interesting and fun to learn with the many aspects of UX Design, however it is more on the fast-paced side of things so if you’re a slow learner it might be difficult. Time management is crucial with this course and it may be hard if your time management skills need work. - AnonymousStudent • User Experience Design Course • TorontoAug 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX design certificate course
The UX Design Certificate course has provided me with a comprehensive learning experience that was outstanding from other schools from an interactive approach. Through the incorporation of real-world industry examples, I learned invaluable insights into current trends, challenges, and best practices for research methods. This has built a strong basic knowledge to get well-prepared for the dynamic UX landscape.

Through the incorporation of real-world industry examples, I learned invaluable insights into current trends, challenges, and best practices for research methods. This has built a strong basic knowledge to get well-prepared for the dynamic UX landscape.
One of the course's highlights is the in-class workshops. These hands-on sessions empower my learning to translate theory into action by tackling real design problems. Working collaboratively with peers fosters a creative environment mirroring real industry teams. This approach not only hones design skills but also cultivates teamwork and communication abilities.
In conclusion, this course didn’t just teach theory. It immerses students in the practical, ever-evolving world of UX. The combination of industry examples, in-class workshops, and personalized feedback ensures graduates are equipped not only with knowledge but also with the skills and confidence to excel in their UX design careers.
