    Great Learning Experience

    I thoroughly enjoyed taking the UX Design Certificate course at BrainStation. This course is great for those who are interested in exploring the subject as it provides you with an understanding of the many sub-fields of UX Design. The process of completing your project also helps you gain an understanding of the sort of tasks UX Designers do in their careers. The insights you gather from taking the course and completing your project can guide you in your career. I am very grateful to hav...

    BrainStation Digital Marketing Bootcamp (Online)

     As someone who has just moved to Canada,I left my old career and the BrainStation family added great value to me on this journey I embarked on with the hope of starting a new career in a new country and in a new language. Fantastically engaging and informative lessons, with a great blend of interaction and lectures to gain a vast amount of knowledge in a short period of time. There was constant support and help throughout from class mates and instructors to make it feel like one big com...

    Intensive Hands-On Learning

    I signed up for this course after completing the Coursera Google UX Certificate online. At the time, I knew I had to continue to develop my skills, but wasn't sure exactly which direction to go. BrainStation provided a structure that strengthened design thinking, enabled collaboration, and pushed students to the next level. I won't lie - this program is intensive - but that's a good thing. Over 12 weeks, my abilities have blossomed with the help of fantastic educators - who all have real...

    A lot of material, a lot of work, great resources

    The course is pretty comprehensive. It's a huge amount of material fit into 3 months, including both the technical and jobsearch material. They walk you through all the concepts, and give you some very helpful notebooks for future reference. 

    There's a good sense of community here too, everyone is motivated and hard-working, and despite being online, you really won't feel alone going through it.

    Highly recommended.

    Exhausting but worth

    I the beginning of the bootcamp I did not believe that I was able to accomplished so many things during the 12 weeks. After completing the bootcamp I have learned so many different concepts.

    In addition, the experience with the real world examples during the classes helped a lot in my leaning process.

    The assignments could look difficult in the beginning, but once you understand that this is exactly what you will do in your future job, you find enough motivation to go throu...

    The chance to challenge yourself, and get an incredible network.

    *Before starting, I want to make a mental health note* If you have anxiety or struggle with perfectionism/etc, I recommend taking time to get your anxiety-management tools ready before you start.* The course really will feel like you just learned 1-2 years of content inside of 10 weeks. I think the most important thing incoming students can do to succeed is to make a work plan with all of the due dates laid out first, always be looking ahead, and always be looking for inspiration/outside...

    A deluge of knowledge

    This program is packed full with a lot of information. The schedule will be very rigorous and it's best not to juggle this program with anything else because there will be many long hours. You will however come out with projects for your portfolio, a strong network community, and a good amount of new friends/cohorts.

    Really great introduction to Product Management

    I didn't know what to expect coming into this course. I wanted to reconfirm and give myself a structure of the product management and product lifecycle by actually undertaking the each step in the process. I will say that is exactly what this course enabled me to do. Starting from actual strategic review and conceptual thinking and then rolling up my sleeves and actually doing the work from inception to product delivery - I'd say this was a great experience.
