I learnt so much from the Bootcamp in just 12 weeks. The education and career development teams at BrainStation gave me plenty of support to learn and develop my skills. Starting from the basics languages such as SQL and Python, I was able to build complex supervised and unsupervised machine learning models for my capstone project by the end of the course. Moreover, the speaker events, presentations and industry projects at BrainStation gave me opportunities to network with professionals in the field and other students from the UX and Web Development Bootcamp as well.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

The instructors and career team are very knowledgeable, helpful, and approachable. The BootCamp is very intense, so be ready to commit fully to this, and it might feel like you won't be able to make it, but the instructors always instil a level of confidence in you to keep going.

I truly believe that you get out of any bootcamp what you put in, and I ensured that I did extra activities before starting the bootcamp to make the most out of it. The instructors were great, approachable and provided relevant industry experience. The pacing of the bootcamp was great but could have included a few more industry examples/speakers to apply the learnings.
I can't comment on the Job assistance criteria yet as I have yet to enter the industry, but there are frequent career workshops. However, I believe that the onus is ultimately on the student to be proactive in networking and making connections throughout the bootcamp.
TLDR: Come prepared and take advantage of the resources provided, and you will develop a good fundamental base to start off in the UX field.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

I visited the Vancouver campus and I enjoyed the vibe here. I chose BrainStation for a few reasons:
- In-person
- The instructors like Borna G. and Fallyn J. have deep technical backgrounds in Data Science, patience and passion for teaching. The TA, Aarati, had a Ph.D. in Engineering and was a student from past cohorts.
- Many students in my cohort have years of working experience and have Master's degrees.
- The network I can connect with during the Bootcamp and after is worth every penny.
The difference between a Bootcamp and college/university is that most of the students here are working professionals, and many have lots of experience, money and connections. These details are important.
The Bootcamp gave me a foundation in Data Science so I can dive in and get more expertise in the field that I want to. I know now how to Google the right topic and understand StackOverflow. I know understand Price Prediction, AI like ChatGPT and ML. I can't believe I can learn and know that much within 3months of studying.
The Bootcamp is not perfect and there are some adjustments should make to the curriculum especially during the last weeks when we have capstone. Some of the heavy topics such as Reinforcement Learning and Flask should be taught after the capstone when students are in a better state of mind.
I wrote this review during the last week of class and I have not had any job assistance yet (post-grad) so I can't give a review about job assistance.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job support3.0Instructors4.0 -

They really devoted a lot of time to discussion of the topics and provided real world examples. The other students in my class were also really insightful about their own experiences and this contributed to to the healthy learning environment.
A downside to this is that we didn't have time to cover all of the material, so I would suggest to the instructors to plan the courses a bit better to accommodate time for both content and discussion. I also thought the course could cover some more helpful resources and lectures on Product Management interview frameworks. This course is a great introduction to understanding Product Management as a beginner.Overall4.0Curriculum3.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

I started this bootcamp with zero knowledge about any lang/framework, and I would say I have a pretty good grasp of it now (even though I still have a lot to learn). This 3 month bootcamp is very intense but I did find it very manageable with the help from the education team. They're very supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely are there to see you succeed which was comforting throughout this journey.
