Although the Bootcamp was intense, I felt like I was retaining information well (due to the structure) and I could apply that to the projects given to us. The fact the lectures were generally less than 2 hours and the hands on labs followed I really felt the information stick. The educators were all great at conveying new information and were all extremely supportive and available. PLUS having the Career Acceleration program gives us such a huge step up when applying to new jobs.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

My instructors Jeff and Andrew made this class very fun to learn and interesting. They kept the class motivated and engaging throughout the weeks. They gave us valuable feedback about our project and what we could improve on, not just on the project but also presentation skills which is another big factor as a product manager!

The experience was amazing. I had very little knowledge of the Digital scene of how everything worked behind the scenes. By attending this Digital Marketing course, it enabled me to see how companies optimise their advertisement techniques to get their products out there for a wide variety of audiences! Understanding the competition and how people depend on online information to run their daily lives, it is astonishing to see the different reasons to why people use the online space! Hence, as people rely on information that is online, it is important that the correct information is shown, as it is crucial to forming people's minds in how they think in terms of a certain topic.

I have to say, this was quite an experience! I came in with almost no knowledge of UX design process besides some transferable skills from previous job and education and a Coursera course under my belt. In the first 2 weeks of the bootcamp we already completed our first project to get a taste for the UX field and what to expect. Afterwards we went deeper into learning. And our great educators were able to push us to create some incredible projects within the tight time constraints. Before this bootcamp, I never thought that I would be able to complete an entire UX project within 1 week, and another within just 24 hours! Overall, I am very happy with my experience at the bootcamp, especially the teachers who were incredibly helpful and good at what they do.
As an advice for people who are considering this bootcamp, please make sure to go through a simple online course before starting the bootcamp so that you know what you are getting into. This would make your bootcamp experience much easier and be certain that you are in the right place in terms of your interests. And, make sure that you would have lots of time to dedicate to this bootcamp during the 12 weeks. Because in terms of commitment, its a full-time job plus lots of homework!Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -
