    High Level Intro to Product Management

    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. The curriculum was useful as an introduction and good for people pivoting into Product Management rather than starting from scratch in a completely different field. I would've like to see more real world examples throughout the course, but I feel like I h...

    Quite intense - yet resourceful

    I never worked on anything related to tech before and only knew HTML, CSS & js for student application. If you know nothing, then this course is probably not right for you. Whole curriculum goes on very high level technical .
    Teaching & can be intimidating. If you miss a class, there are no resources to catch up other than referring to presentation &  you are on your own. All promises they give are literally fake. It's a complete corporate environment and all they care abo...

    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.

    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. You really have to manage your time well and know how to multitask. The boot...

    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 b...

    Intense bootcamp for Career Change

    I just finished up my 3 months at BrainStation, and wow, was it intense! You're changing your career in a matter of 12 weeks, of course, it's going to be hard. I learned so much from my instructors. We have lectures every day about a different UX topic. If you think you will have time to work on projects during lecture time, think again. 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 i...

    Incredible journey

    Like many of you who are looking for a career change most likely, I was in the same boat as you. I went with BrainStation from their great reviews and just completed the program, and all I can say it lives up to the excellence. You truly feel like a UX/UI Designer by the end of it with the curriculum they have in place and the educators and TA's give you so much support throughout. I was nervous to begin a bootcamp as you feel like it's just you vs. the world doing a bunch of projects wi...

    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! (But set aside ALL your time to focus on the course - you'll need it!)

    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...

    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 fam...

    Data Science Bootcamp

    It was a really amazing experience, I can't believe I learned so many subjects in such a short period of time. The feedbacks on the assignments and projects were great. The instructors and HAs were very helpful and responsive. They have multiple work shops that help with not only learning the knowledge but also learning how to get a job and write your resume/linkedin. However, it is very intense so for that three months there is no time to have fun or hang out with friends and basically ...
