    Data Science Bootcamp Experience

    UX Bootcamp is Amazing

    The 3-month UX design bootcamp was intense. BrainStation aims to help students find professional opportunities with industry-standard learning materials. I learned Figma design tool and built my app from scratch, it's so rewarding.

    Cool UX Bootcamp Experience

    I recently completed the User Experience (UX) Bootcamp at BrainStation's Shoreditch Campus, and I had a great time learning and conversing with my peers and teachers. The experience was enlightening and enriched my understanding of UX design considerably.

    Excellent Learning Experience

    Overall a very positive experience of the data-science bootcamp. The lectures were well structured and offered a comprehensive walk from SQL and data cleaning to Neural Networks and AWS. The quality and industry knowledge of the instructors was excellent, which was invaluable in giving context to the material. Weekly assignments were great for practicing code implementation. I would highly recommended.

    Comprehensive, challenging and rewarding

    The data science bootcamp was well-structured and delivered to a very high standard. The educators are experienced and committed to ensuring student success. One of the most challenging but, at the same time, highly enriching parts of the course - is the individual student project, which helps to start building your professional portfolio. Overall, there is a good balance between theoretical and practical knowledge. Fantastic London campus! Very happy I committed to this bootcamp!

    BrainStation Data Science Bootcamp

    Awesome experience! Both the lead instructors in data science were excellent and the course was well structured. Course is intense in terms of time commitment and workload, but community is supportive. Course covers a lot of breadth, lots of ground covered in 3 months

    Immersive, thorough, and Intense

    This bootcamp was no joke! Try to come prepared with some basic UX knowledge and practice using Figma. My peers were awesome and I learned so much in the 3 months I was there. Their sole mission is to get job-ready by the end of the cohort.

    Worth it!

    This course really is designed to equip you with knowledge of the industry so you can go get a job. While sometimes the instructors weren't of the highest quality, they have people with different industry experience that were able to pull from personal experience when they taught. Overall, would recommend.

    Very good introduction to the world of data

    I took the Data Analytics course at BrainStaion and I very much enjoyed my experience. We learned the basics of data retrieval, processing and analysis. The classes took place in-person in NYC. The class schedule worked for me as I could attend after work. The instructor was awesome and very good at explaining on a higher level as well as breaking down the concepts for us. The class setup was good, and the office overall was renovated so it was a great experience. After a couple classes ...

    Summer course was helpful in getting a bird's eye view of design.

    I haven't had a chance to process the experience as yet, however, there was a lot of material compressed in a short period of time. I can certainly say that it pushed me to learn Figma and try out design ideas and actually take action on getting some skills in usability rather than think about it (What if? Should I?, Is it Hard or Not so Bad?). Now I know a lot more than I did 8 weeks back! And I actually enjoyed most of it. Instructors and class mates were great. Overall it was an 8/10....
