    Informative, helpful, interesting

    The course did a really good job in doing a breakdown of UX work in the short time that it had. It did not go deep but it gave a great idea on the whole process from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this to someone looking to expand their skills and gain new knowledge.

    Intense, collaborative, thorough

    Post Graduate Update: The BrainStation Bootcamp was intense. I liked the Google UX Course I took on Coursera, but nothing beats collaboration. At BSTN I got the chance to relearn UX concepts on a deeper level in a group setting with more critical feedback from instructors. We completed several documented design sprints and a hackathon. Additionally, my career coach at BSTN helped me identify my strengths, optimize my resume + Linkedin and held me accountable to consistently applying, giv...

    An intense and rewarding experience

    It was a pleasure to attend the BrainStation UX Course and get up-to-date with the current practices in the industry. The campus offer a great structure, with wide and tidy rooms, high-end equipment and confortable furniture. The classes cover the day-by-day tasks, duties and everything a designer must know to be well-succeeded, and the meetup events offer a great chance to expand networking. I'd definitely recommend.

    Amazing Experience

    I loved becoming part of this experience! Especially because the whole environment is toward improving our skills. I could get more of the importance of Figma throughout the process and speak in English, as well. I'd love to start another course, absolutely!  As long as I started my project I could understand how could I become a better professional :)

    Detailed and Engaging

    A detailed course with engaging sessions from the instructors. We deep-dived into all things product management and touched upon many things like MVP, building a prototype, working in agile environments and more. It would be great to dive into more details like segments on Agile and Product Launch, as they are a prerequisite for PM jobs. While job assistance was not a part of the course, it was good to have the instructors talk more about how to break into the industry. It would be helpf...

    Amazing interactive experience

    Amazing course led by the best instructor - Scott. I felt supported throughout and learned so much about Product Management that I previously had not known about. Our instructor was always willing to help explain concepts further and provide examples whenever needed. The environment was also great since we were able to have a lot of interactive class time where we learned through and with our peers.

    Great, can be better

    I loved my Product management part-time program, I wish there was more time to deep dive into the case studies and refine them. The instructors were very knowledgeable and knew their stuff. The class was also small sized so it was easy to get to know everyone. I recommend this course if you are deciding if you want to pivot into product management but after the program, there is a lot more work to be done before you are ready to tackle the industry.
