    Online UX Design Fulltime Diploma

    This program will give you as much as you give it. I went in here prepared to dedicate 12 weeks of my life to nothing but studying, and learning. If you put in the effort, the instructors, TA's, and support staff will help you along the entire way. 

    I came into this program without any real baseline knowledge, but the amount of skills I've learned in the last 12 weeks have really prepared me for a career in UX. I'm a lot more knowledgable and confident in this field than I ever im...

    Worth every bit of the investment.

    BrainStation was one of the best decisions I made when I was looking to transition from hospitality into a design career. It isn't for everyone, so I would recommend a few things to keep in mind that I'll list below, but if you were wondering if it's worth the money to invest in this Bootcamp with the hopes that you will find employment at the end, you can't really do much better.

    I began with the Web Development full-time diploma, then transition to the User Experience Design pro...

    BrainStation Review

    Overall BrainStation was an incredible experience, all instructors and staff were fantastic, supportive and kind. There was clear direction during the entire process, and the all resources were clearly laid out and readily available. The learning environment was engaging and had ample content, one thing that could have been improved was some parts of the curriculum which could have had more emphasis and focus.

    Web Development

    BrainStations web development bootcamp changed my career trajectory entirely. A year ago I was a disgruntled employee at a major Canadian oil company. Now I’m working as an Account Manager in the heart of San Fran tech. I wouldn’t be where I am without the content I learned at BrainStation. Mind you I never intended to be a web developer, I always wanted to work in a customer facing role in tech. But what the web development bootcamp turned me into is the most technically capable member ...

    UX Diploma Bootcamp

    BrainStation's UX Diploma program is very challenging but one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. You will laugh, cry, lose sleep, celebrate and see a whole new side of yourself as a new and talented designer capable of producing amazing work. The content is rich and taught well by industry professionals and leaders in the field. I highly recommend this program to anybody looking to jump head first into the fast-paced world of tech and UX design.

    Amazing and personable educators

    I asked a million questions and had them all answered by the amazing educators at Brainstation. I truly believe that this school is exceptional at what they do. I went in not knowing how to write a single line of code and now have a secure job with freelance clients on the side.

    Save your money and go somewhere else

    I took the Product Management course Nov-Dec 2020. The instructors were great but the institution itself was so disappointing.

    The class was way too full, I felt so bad for the instructors. We spent 2 of the classes just listening to other people's projects and the other classes whizzing through the material because the presentations took up so much time. I even submitted feedback that I had a bad experience and would like to talk to someone about it, never heard from anyone.

    User Experience Course @BrainStation Review

    Overall good experience with a small group of students and 2 instructors to provide a lot of perspective and attention as needed. Interactive class activities were a fun way to learn and get to know people - I suggestion for the future could be a class/group project that we work on only during class through the activities to double enforce the learnings and have multiple portfolio pieces.
