The course was very informative at a high level. Our instructor David was great and had a lot of experience he shared throughout the duration of the course. He shared a ton of resources to help us dive deeper in the the subject as well.

Great Experience
I am just graduating from the UX BootCamp, and it has been an intense but fun experience. If you're considering keep in mind that: you won't have a life for 3 months, you're going to be constantly exhausted and won't have extra time to do things that you are used to. It is a stressful but great experience. So if I can give you one piece of advice: plan ahead your bootcamp routine and notify your loved ones that you'll be off during bootcamp. - AnonymousStudent • User Experience Design Bootcamp Online • OnlineDec 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
BrainStation - UX Design Bootcamp
I had a great experience at BrainStation. I met some amazing people and gained a lot of knowledge and valuable skills to help me in my UX Design journey. It also really helped me stick to a routine which I didn't have before. My main criticism is that we got most of the feedback for our work pretty late so I would jump into doing new work not fully aware of what I had to improve yet and there was A LOT of work.

The bootcamp will be easier for you if you already know how to use tools like Figma and make presentations. - AnonymousGraduate • User Experience Design Bootcamp Online • OnlineDec 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Engaging, Fast-pace learning
I was part of the online full-time cohort and let me tell you, the 12 weeks so fast. The instructors, TA's and classmates are really what make the experience special and fulfilling. I had no design background so a month before starting the program I did the google certificate and I found that I helped out a lot because it's so fast-pace and intensive.

There's a lot of self-taught learning after class hours especially when it comes to using Figma. There's a lot of support throughout the bootcamp. But at the end it's what you make out of the program. If you're willing to spend your free time learning about UX and going out of your way to learn outside of the classroom, even connecting to the UX community, you'll do just fine. - AnonymousGraduate • User Experience Design Bootcamp Online • OnlineDec 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

This is an extremely difficult course timewise and only for those who are really serious about making a life transformation. You do not have free time in these 3 months... Let me say it again YOU DO NOT HAVE FREE TIME!! But for me and what I want to do with the rest of my life, it was worth it and incredibly rewarding now that I have graduated. EdX and Career Services have cool events throughout the 12 weeks like LinkedIn workshops and a 24-hour industry project. I would totally recommend BrainStation to anyone who is seriously interested in investing their time and money. - AnonymousGraduate • User Experience Design Bootcamp Online • OnlineDec 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Very thorough and supportive!
The UX design bootcamp was super intense and full on, but now I feel so prepared to start a career in UX Design. I started with 0 knowledge in UX besides what it was, and they did a great job walking us through the foundations all the way up to being proficient designers. Would recommend!

Learning, Intensity, Stress, Community
Having just completed the course, I can't speak to the job assistance portion of the bootcamp yet, but for everything else about the bootcamp, I would highly recommend it to SPECIFIC people. To start, I would highly recommend that anyone consider applying 1) knows with certainty that data science is a field that they want to get into, no matter how difficult and 2) has ALL of their time available for bootcamp. If either of these things aren't the case, then I would instead reccomend self...Having just completed the course, I can't speak to the job assistance portion of the bootcamp yet, but for everything else about the bootcamp, I would highly recommend it to SPECIFIC people. To start, I would highly recommend that anyone consider applying 1) knows with certainty that data science is a field that they want to get into, no matter how difficult and 2) has ALL of their time available for bootcamp. If either of these things aren't the case, then I would instead reccomend self-guided online learning or courses which move much slower. On this second point, I think it's really important to understand that if you wish to perform well in bootcamp, almost all of your waking hours, weekends included, should be committed to it. That model is not sustainable, but it is doable for 12 weeks. Coming into this course, I had almost no technical background, and coming out of it, I feel well qualified to be a part of a team working on almost any data science project. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp Online • OnlineDec 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Challenging, Rewarding, Worth It
After completing the 3.5 month bootcamp at BrainStation, I can safely say that I walked away with a wealth of knowledge and new skills that will prepare me for a career pivot into tech.

The course itself is intensive to say the least since it will require late nights/early mornings and working 50 hour weeks in order to absorb and correctly apply the material. If you plan on joining and do not come from a traditional CS or coding background I highly recommend getting a head start with familiarizing yourself with SQL & Python. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend BrainStation to anyone looking to further careers!
