    I saw tremendous growth

    Before starting here I was familiar with html, css and JavaScript. I had also built a few express apps as well as some android apps with Java. I thought I would learn some new libraries and tools but it was so much more than that. I grew tremendously as a developer. I left with confidence that I know what I was doing and a bunch of experience working collaboratively that I would have never got otherwise. I truly think it’s worth attending if you’re looking to make the jump into web devel...

    Wonderful!

    Aadil Khan was a great instructor. He helped me understand the theoretical part of UX design in a manner that was easy to comprehend given I had little experience in UX. He was engaging and paced himself very well according to the needs of the students (from what I was able to tell). The breakout sessions were great and I loved that we got the opportunity to work on a project that allowed us to apply all the design principles.

    An experience of a lifetime!

    My journey at the BrainStation Vancouver downtown campus:

    Changing careers and enrolling at the BrainStation Vancouver downtown campus was the best decision of my life. I have gained tremendous knowledge and skill in just three months. Getting the first position as a web developer in the industry is challenging. But today, I have a diploma, a good network of fellow students and people in the industry, good skills, and confidence and motivation to boost.

    Great review would recommend

    This was a great way to learn more about UX design. Really good for a designer who is looking to upskill. Great community set up both in campus and on LinkedIn. The tutors were very supportive and were available outside of class hours. Had a great project for portfolios after the course was completed

    Solid & Exact but more exercises.

    I enjoyed my time here, the course was everything it promised and I got what I exactly came for which is have experienced hands walk me through the whys of ux, behind the UI. 
    The course material does need updating though as some of the class instructors have sometimes had different views to the contents and offered much recent illustrations on many occasions.

    100% Worth It

    I contemplated going through a UX Bootcamp for an entire year before I actually took the plunge. The thought of quitting my job, immersing myself back into an intensive learning environment, and making a career change was daunting. After all, what if it didn't work out and I had wasted all the time, money, and effort doing it for nothing? But everything that BrainStation gave me paid off in the end as I am now successfully working as a full-time UX Designer for a great company.
