It is a fast pace course
I liked the teachers on the course and the only bad aspeacts is the final project, I think they should have a recess of 1 week at least before the final date of the project, just so people could invest more time, also I think they should invest more time going through Figma and explaining some basic things that can really make you above average, or making you step up in comparison to beginners on this tool.

Overall pretty good
The course was good overall, I learned a lot. I do wish that it was a little bit less fast paced so we could focus on and learn certain concepts properly but it is a bootcamp in the end.

One thing I wish was different was the assignment deadlines, it would be better if assignments were do Monday or Tuesday evenings that way students can ask for help on Monday/Tuesday during open studio as most of the work is done on the weekends so if you get stuck you have nowhere to turn.

An issue that happened a few times here and there was that sometimes you couldn't get help during open studio because too many people had questions so all the TA's where helping others and you end up not getting the assistance you need so best to ask questions earlier rather than later (Friday's before an assignment is do are probably the busiest open studio days).

Intensive but rewarding at the same time.
Currently still in the program. It is very fast. I would heavily suggest studying some JavaScript before start this course. I would say based on your knowledge of programming languages and computer logic will help you decide whether you’re ready for a bootcamp. It requires me more than a full time job to keep up with this program. But I learned a lot in such a short period of time.

This course was pretty intense and moved very quickly, you often only received feedback required for the project a couple days before it was due. It's not necessarily a negative aspect of the program - I do feel like it has helped me learn to pivot and deliver quickly, which is really valuable in this field - but something that was at times very frustrating and something to keep in mind if you're considering this bootcamp and wondering what the workload looks like.
There was a good amount of student support from the educators and TAs, they were all very willing to talk on zoom or slack. I feel like guidance from the education team could have been a bit ... tougher? There were some general conversations about 'the reality' of the field/workplace and some difficulties we'll most likely encounter, but I feel like for the sake of being encouraging there were some missed opportunities for some feedback and direction that maybe would be tough to hear, but would be extremely valuable for people trying to break into job market.
Every now and then, they'd hit us with a "You aren't really going to ever need in this in the real world, but today we're learning about...." which would immediately make half the class shut their brains off. I wish they'd either leave those topics out of the curriculum, or be super clear about why it's still important to know, because with so much on your plate, you stop giving time to anything that doesn't feel relevant to the project you're working on that week.
For the major projects, like the hackathons and capstone---- I think they were all super valuable experiences, especially the cross-disciplinary industry project. Learning to work on a team in this specific setting, learning how to iterate and deliver quickly, and learning how to talk about your work are all incredibly important to being a professional software engineer.
That said, something I think they could do better with the capstone would be to let students push it further. There are some requirements that are pretty basic, but because of that, also very limiting. You also essentially have to come up with your own product, which isn't something I'm interested in and isn't very relevant to a lot of software engineering careers. I would have much rather pushed myself to go beyond the basics we had learned to try something that would have been challenging but also more relevant to what I want to do as a software engineer that wasn't limited to the front-end focused curriculum. You're also limited to working with languages and tech that the TAs and educators are familiar with, which was a little disappointing.
All in all, my final thoughts are: This is program focuses mostly on front-end work, some back-end, and not a *whole* lot past the basics, but you *will* learn the basics pretty well. It's real value lies in the team projects, the cross-collaboration with the other schools (UX and Data Science), and the network you're a part of when you graduate. I think you can learn a lot about deadlines and time management, working with others under pressure, and how you deal with frustration as a professional. You're probably not going to come out a whizkid genius coder, but you'll probably be a better learner in general.

Very intense but rewarding!
To be honest, I can't say enough good things about Brainstation. Of course I started out with some apprehension, spending a lot of money, but the value you get is definitely worth it. The educators clearly care about helping you reach your full potential. They seem to have found the right balance of an intense program with lots of material to cover with a schedule and curruliculum that makes it all sink in for you and you will be amazed at how far you will come in a short amount of time....

Life-changing experience
Joining this bootcamp was a life-changing experience. It goes reeeeeeeally fast and by the end, I was fried. It is worth it, instructors are knowledgeable and empathetic (even though I understand they can change frequently). It's best of you have some idea on coding or feel confident that you will work hard to pick it up. The career services were weaker than the technical-side of the bootcamp, but it was good too. I recommend this bootcamp.

UX Design Diploma Bootcamp
very informative bootcamp, the instructors were awesome, was very intensive and a lot of hours are needed outside of class time. Allocate at least 4-6 hours a day to work on your projects and refine your skills or else you will fall behind.

I did brainstation's full-time bootcamp for software engineering. I came in with some coding experience but had no formal education or training it I feel that I learned a lot of relevant, industry standard skills and information.
