Bridging Theory and Practice in UX Design
As an aspiring web developer, I enrolled in this UX course to enhance my UX knowledge and design skills. Reflecting on the experience, I can confidently say that the course has significantly contributed to my journey toward achieving this goal.

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.

Transformative and empowering
My bootcamp experience has been nothing short of transformative. The intensive curriculum, combined with a collaborative learning environment, pushed me beyond my comfort zone and accelerated my growth. The challenges were opportunities for skill development, and the supportive community made every hurdle feel achievable. I leave the bootcamp feeling empowered and well-equipped for the next phase of my journey.

Witnessing the progression in the quality of my projects from the first week to the last week of the boot camp was truly remarkable.

I would say that there’s some things that could have been organized and orchestrated better, such as the order and due dates of certain assignments. There were moments when we were shuffling 3 assignments at once, and other moments which were very relaxed- it could have been spread out more effectively. The career matching afterwards seems a bit sketchy. For example, the “speed interviews” they have at the end are filled with hiring partners who aren’t hiring. I think they get paid by LinkedIn because they really push using it towards finding employment. The instructors are great, and I truly did learn a lot, but at the end it is a money making establishment.
