    Amazing Experience

    The staff is amazing from the hostess in the front to the experienced instructors.  I feel very confident with just the level I learned with Reinaldo.  Learning the design principles, what makes a good UX design, etc boosted my company's ability to scale into the future. After this course I realized that UX is one of the biggest parts in making a quality product or event.  I would most definitely recommend this course to everyone that wants to get into the field of UX.

    Intense, but worth it.

    I had an amazing experience during my bootcamp in May. There were lots of ups and downs, but I managed to pass this course with no worries. Coming from fashion school, I was prepared for the level of intensity. I had to still do the things I loved doing outside of school to keep my sanity. Chris and Christina are top tier instructors, very knowledgeable and encouraging. Learning was fun and assignments weren't impossible, although they were very time consuming. This condenses years of st...

    Greater understanding of AI

    I just completed BrainStation's AI course and it was an incredible experience! Over the past 5 weeks, I learned about everything from the basics of AI to understanding machine learning and deep learning. The course also covered exploring generative AI and LLM's, prompt engineering, and a future with AI.

    With all the hype and fear out there about AI, I feel much more equipped to engage in the important discussions going on with a balanced approach.

    Additionally, I gained a g...

    Informative, helpful, interesting

    The course did a really good job in doing a breakdown of UX work in the short time that it had. It did not go deep but it gave a great idea on the whole process from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this to someone looking to expand their skills and gain new knowledge.

    Post Graduate Update: The BrainStation Bootcamp was intense. I liked the Google UX Course I took on Coursera, but nothing beats collaboration. At BSTN I got the chance to relearn UX concepts on a deeper level in a group setting with more critical feedback from instructors. We completed several documented design sprints and a hackathon. Additionally, my career coach at BSTN helped me identify my strengths, optimize my resume + Linkedin and held me accountable to consistently applying, giv...

    An intense and rewarding experience

    It was a pleasure to attend the BrainStation UX Course and get up-to-date with the current practices in the industry. The campus offer a great structure, with wide and tidy rooms, high-end equipment and confortable furniture. The classes cover the day-by-day tasks, duties and everything a designer must know to be well-succeeded, and the meetup events offer a great chance to expand networking. I'd definitely recommend.

    I loved becoming part of this experience! Especially because the whole environment is toward improving our skills. I could get more of the importance of Figma throughout the process and speak in English, as well. I'd love to start another course, absolutely!  As long as I started my project I could understand how could I become a better professional :)
