    Instructors are very well qualified and a great resource

    Although the curriculum is probably very common to what you'll find in other programs, I was impressed that the instructors seem to be very established in their field. One worked in digital marketing for Adidas and having that resource definitely made the class feel more like a guided class than just a series of powerpoint slides. Highly recommend!

    Very thorough

    The course was very thorough and the instructors were knowledgeable and approachable. I think it's hard to get the content right for such a diverse level of experiences in the room, so didn't find that all the lessons were all that relevant or helpful for me, but managed to always come away with at least one good learning.

    Stressful yet rewarding

    I took the web development bootcamp at BrainStation a very intensive twelve week experience. The program is very intensive and fast paced if you aren't fully dedicated you can quickly fall behind and either quit or continue the course but not get as much as you would have hoped out of it. If you are planning on being dedicated for twelve weeks and attempt to get everything you can out of the course then you will end up having the experience and knowledge to achieve what you want.

    Great intro course

    I really enjoyed the course, especially the interactive portion of each lesson. Irfan and Nick were very helpful in explaining the topics well and staying engaged. I do wish there was a grades component to the course because anyone and everyone can pass the course with minimal effort.

    Amazing Experience

    Being a student at BrainStation was a great experience. Over the course of three months, I learned so much and got to demonstrate these skills through all of my projects. The educators and staff at BrainStation was very helpful and supportive. The cohort as well was so great - every student was friendly and a pleasure to collaborate with :)

    5 week accelerated UX Design Course at BrainStation, Toronto ON

    I recently graduated from the 5 week accelerated UX Design Course at BrainStation. Although the course was intense, I learned a lot and feel confident building out real Case Studies to supplement my Design Portfolio. Through hands-on workshops, I was able to hone my skills and have things, "click" I feel I have a blueprint for success and this was the best way to start my UX Design experience.
