The teaching has been first class with all the content being of high quality and very relevant to the industry. I feel very prepared for applying for roles once I have graduated and I know that the skills that I have gained will stand me in good stead amongst my peers. All the educators and staff on campus are always helpful and friendly and I really felt like there is a close and solid community built amongst our class of students. If you are thinking that development might be a path you want to go down, I would strongly recommend you look into BrainStation -- the best career decision I have ever made!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

I really felt like learning all over again, and brought that passion about studying like I was in collage. I did the full time (just 3 months) and felt like I wanted more of it! Takes you a lot of time and work to go by every task they ask you to perform but it is great to get some practice in your code. I learnt a lot during my time as a student, but as freshly graduated now I'm finding it hard to get my first job, as I thought the market would have a lot of opportunities when I graduated, guess I need to give some time and keep learning. Just to be clear, each experience is different, you can finish the bootcamp with a job or maybe spend a few months to find one, but the experience was a lifetime for me.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -

BrainStation’s knowledgable instructors did a great job at teaching all the necessary tools (especially Figma) to become a successful UX Designer. Besides that they were always open for questions and remained a great source of support even after the Boot Camp ended.

Even though the Bootcamp is intended for people with no coding experience, I would highly suggest anyone who is considering signing up do some self-study first to make the process in the Bootcamp easier.
As the Bootcamp covers both front-end and back-end in only 12 weeks, the back-end parts are only at the surface, just enough for students to make a full-stack application. Much more diving deep is needed compared with the front-end sections.
