A Great First Step
I've taken 2 courses and a bootcamp through BrainStation. They've been great stepping stones into the world of tech, providing valuable structure into my own learning, along with amazing insights into the industry! I especially loved my Product Management educators, Tom and Kareem. Having two different people teaching at the same time really gave a well-balanced and fun class dynamic with so much expertise from different areas of the industry.

Bridging Theory and Practice in UX Design

Reflecting on the experience, I can confidently say that the course has significantly contributed to my journey toward achieving this goal.
This UX course stands out for its practical approach, effectively blending theoretical concepts with real-world applications. The course delves into the crucial role of user experience in enhancing the effectiveness of digital products like websites and apps. More than just a series of lectures, it fostered a significant shift in my approach to design, emphasizing the importance of a user-centric mindset.
A particularly strong aspect of the course was the instructor's expertise. They provided extensive industrial knowledge and real-life examples, bringing abstract concepts to life and demonstrating how these processes are implemented in actual design projects. This approach was instrumental in understanding the real-world impact and application of UX principles.
The final project also allowed me to gain hands-on experience by going through the whole design process and using design tools like Figma to make our design come to life.
However, the course schedule could be challenging for some students. Classes were held in the evenings, lasting three hours with a break. As someone like myself who finds it difficult to learn at night, this requires a period of adaptation.
In conclusion, I recommend this UX course to anyone looking to gain UX knowledge and design skills. - Jonathan SilvaGraduate • Software Engineering Bootcamp • New York CityVerified by LinkedInDec 05, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
An incredibly rewarding, & valuable experience.
Before I chose BrainStation, I had done a ton of research for weeks and weeks. It was between them and another bootcamp that was online. At the recommendation of a friend to go in person, I decided to go for it with BrainStation. Things were difficult this year for me, so going in person made all the difference in the world. The relationships I developed with the instructors and the fellow in person UX, Data Science, and Software Engineering were priceless.

At the recommendation of a friend to go in person, I decided to go for it with BrainStation. Things were difficult this year for me, so going in person made all the difference in the world. The relationships I developed with the instructors and the fellow in person UX, Data Science, and Software Engineering were priceless.
The instructors and TAs were amazing, very knowledgeable, and did everything they could to help us students. Staff was also very kind. I was having a rough time out of school, and so they picked up on that, and they made a point to check in on me to make sure I was ok and able to keep up with the course. My teachers were Matt and Jenny for the bulk of the course, but we also had Joseph and Patrick in the first two weeks. Later on another teacher named Kevin also began teaching some of the lectures. Every one of them had good industry experience and had a passion and knack for teaching. You could tell everyone here really cares about the students.
The events they planned with speakers, the Industry Project Hackathon with AWS, and various events they host and organize were also incredibly informative and great for networking opportunities. We we had speakers from Meta, Spotify, Amazon, and more. We got the chance to talk to them and ask them questions, and even a panel of recruiters at the end. They made sure to organize social events between the different disciplines too which was really great and definitely needed lol. I’m sure plenty of the staff were involved but I know Mariel, the Education Experience Manager who is new at the NY campus, went out of her way to make a lot of these things happen for us. We also had 2 other hackathons were also great for developing real world experience working in a team.
The content of the course, as confirmed through feedback from industry professionals I’ve connected with and even graduates of other bootcamps, is all in-demand and relevant. The camp is a bit more front end focused but you will get enough back end to qualify as a full stack developer once you graduate.
I can’t recommend this bootcamp enough. Between the curriculum which was tough but good, and the amazing educators and everyone else working there, I have to say it was a tremendously positive and life changing experience. I’m still a new graduate so I cannot accurately rate the Job Assistance but for now I’m making it 5 stars. I’ll update later on to report my experience. So far the staff has been great and proactive with everyone.

I studied Software Engineering at BrainStation and graduated this month and I couldn't have even prepared myself for what I was in for.

There were people who were successful coming in not knowing anything but those with a bit of a background definitely had an advantage. The instructors were amazing and really wanted everyone to succeed and the TA's went out of their way to help those that were overwhelmed and falling behind. One of the best parts of the bootcamp was the people that I got to meet and commiserate with. Overall it was a life changing experience and I know it's a time in my life I'll remember forever and look back on with joy.
