    BrainStation Online

    I attended BrainStations online UX Design bootcamp in 2021. I was brand new to UX design and didn't know if I was capable of completing the program. However, I was mentored and guided at every step. Clearly BrainStation has taken the time to make the most user-friendly program. Each unit informed the next. At the end of the program, I was sufficiently prepared to enter the job market as a strong UX designer. 
    I cannot recommend the UX program at BrainStation enou...

    Comprehensive curriculum and excellent educators

    Overall, I had a very positive experience at BrainStation. The curriculum covers the core concepts and skills that are required for a Data Scientist. With topics covered ranging from querying relational databases with SQL, building and evaluating machine learning models, and exploring how to use Big Data tools, I feel like I am ready to tackle any task that I might encounter on the job. The homework assignments provided opportunities to apply the knowledge learned in class to practical s...

    UX Design Bootcamp - Online

    I had a really good experience with the UX Design Bootcamp at BrainStation. Throughout the 12 week online bootcamp I met other aspiring UX Designers throughout North America. I was hesitant at first because I've never done online schooling before, but it turned out to be a great experience.  The first two weeks were fairly chill, as they introduce you to UX but the remaining 10 weeks were quite intense. The educators in the BrainStation program are industry pros and knew the material the...

    Data Science Bootcamp

    The bootcamp was tough with a very steep learning curve. However, this enabled me to learn the broad spectrum of Data Science skills on both the theoretical and practical fronts. The bootcamp was catered to students with different level of experiences with some of us who had no previous coding experience (including myself). The weekly projects provide a good practice for the theoretical learning and an industry led 24 hour Hackathon gives interdisciplinary working experience (where you d...

    UX Design Diploma

    12-week Bootcamp covers the UX and UI foundations. There was a good range of all things within the UXD discipline from research to strategy to prototyping. It's a good program to give the foundations you would need to become a junior UX Designer. I would have preferred a more in-depth design theory focus than we received though. A key thing to know is that whether or not you find a role after the Bootcamp ends is heavily dependent on whether or not you're willing to keep applying for rol...

    UI Design Course

    As somebody who has decided to change their career path, I think that this UI Design Bootcamp was exactly what I needed. Coming in I had only a vague idea about UI Design, but I was given the tools I needed to actually start working on my own portfolio. I appreciate Max and Tamira sharing their professional experience with us and always being responsive when I had questions outside of the class hours.
