    Great learning experience

    Instructors are industry experts and shows relevant demos to explain the concepts. So as the TAs, who are very helpful in resolving any queries.
    The course gets quit hectic but the projects that we worked on makes things very clear.

    Beware Sneaky Requirements

    I registered for the part-time UX design bootcamp knowing the class schedule – 2x weeknights, 1x Saturday. Seemed doable! And of course I expected to do lots of work outside those hours. But the first day of class, we learned that there were additional "learning station" hours (think of them as office hours) that were *required*, and they were only offered in a narrow window on another weekday or on Sunday. 

    To be very clear, these additional requirements were not shared during th...

    Great Starting Point Into Digital Marketing!

    This course was a great overview into digital marketing. To go into detail about each topic in just a 3 hour lesson is difficult however I learned lots of useful information and was able to dive in further with the class resources after class. The instructors were great and they brought in some great examples into the teaching, either from their own professions or from wider research including how AI can play an important role in marketing and how we can leverage it.

    Great introduction into Digital Marketing

    I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The instructors were friendly and approachable and the content was interesting. I also appreciated meeting and working with people in person as opposed to online since I took the in person class. One more for improvement would be increasing more time spent practising using tools like Google Analytics and Google Ads. Overall I think this is a good foundational course for beginners.

    Digital Marketing Course

    Excellent course if you are new to the world of Marketing but also a useful upskill course for marketers. The lecturers and the slidedecks are excellent. Maybe in the future they could split the course for beginners and for existing professionals. I would definitely do another course with this program.

    Very informative and enjoyable

    I have learnt a great amount during the course, more than I expected ! Prom principles and prototyping and Figma. I think the teachers were great, helped out a lot and very patient. I enjoyed learning about UX, UI and the softwares. I do think that the course was a bit rushed at points which made it hard to ask questions during class as we had to get on with the content.

    Overall Ok Experience

    The course was more engaging than I expected from the course. The instructors were nice and explained the topics well. However, the knowledge that was needed the most was taught/explained near the end of the course. The course outline could have been planned better or taught more. I did learn new things such as tableau and some of the insight that is needed for data analyzation. Overall I found the course ok, I felt like I learned things but also at the same time I did not. As an introdu...

    Pretty good, but you get out what you put in.

    This course is great in that it is a good representation of what the industry is currently doing. However, the best content is the homework and in-clase labs... and if you don't have enough time outside of class to put toward this course you will get far less out of it then if you spend sufficient hours each week outside of the class diving deep into the practical examples.

    Great introduction into Data Analytics

    I took the Data Analytics course and came in with no knowledge of the field or any tech background. It's a great course to get an understanding of Data Analytics and learning how to use MySQL and Tableau.
