For those coming from non-designers backgrounds (which is majority of the students). The educators spend a lot go 1-on-1 time ensuring each student is developing their skills and confidence. Their industry knowledge and understanding of platforms is valuable and provides students with confidence that when completing the course students will be using the very latest design tools.
The bootcamp is a very intense process and requires you to work throughout the weekend. But is totally worth it for the projects that you can reflect on by the end.
100% would recommend for those looking to break into design with some incredible career support afterwards.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -

Easily one of the best career moves I've done to add hard skills to my skillset. I did this bootcamp as a career change into technical data science, and I think this has set me up well to do so. The education team is great and very knowledgeable, both from a content point of view and also in terms of their own careers and backgrounds into data science.

The entire course goes very in-depth into all different aspects of web development and more; Content you learn is then applied to amazing projects that are very challenging. My instructor for web-development were Anvit and Jim, they were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The course materials were clear and concise. Although they say the boot camp requires zero knowledge before starting, I'd highly recommend looking at some basic html, css & javascript tutorials on youtube before starting. Learn the fundamentals before starting is vital because once you fall behind in the actual program it's very difficult to get back on track. All round, I'd recommend anyone that's willing to put in the hard work to become a developer to take this bootcamp!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -

Even then I wasn't sure I had made the right decision but I am so glad I chose BrainStation.
The main instructor for the course, Daniil, was really good at explaining some of the more difficult concepts in simpler terms which was extremely helpful for us to grasp the ideas. We also worked with a couple other instructors (Michael Dismatsek and Andrew Carolan) who both had different and unique approaches in helping us pick up techniques and concepts as well. We were even able to experience working on real projects with people in cross-disciplines which is something I didn't even know I needed till I had experienced it.
The course is very fast paced and challenging but I honestly can say they provide all the means to help you achieve success if you put in the work and effort. I feel confident saying this being one month out of the bootcamp and having landed a position as a web developer. I definitely feel a little bit lucky but also going through the interview process I realize that each part of the bootcamp had prepared me with experience and the knowledge that was being asked of me. Also a final thing that I must mention is that the career service after the bootcamp is really invaluable. They are serious when they say the bootcamp doesn't just end and you're on your own. The career services after the bootcamp is a serious selling point on top of the bootcamp as well.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -
