Although, I have hands on agile experience and am vaguely familiar with product management, I felt this course provided me with the end to end product life cycle knowledge I needed to be successful. The presentations were informative, the instructors were clear and engaging and am very happy I took the time to take this course. I do wish we did more hands on prep for job interviews but I do think I have the materials I need to be successful.- AnonymousStudent • Data Analytics • VancouverApr 08, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The Bootcamp is Detailed while the Certificate is an Introduction
I have taken two courses at BrainStation so far. One was the UX Design bootcamp, and the other was the Data Analytics certificate.
I enjoyed and learned a lot from the UX Design bootcamp. It covered a wide range of content from research to design to testing. The instructors really cared about the students, and the TAs gave detailed feedback on assignments. The only downside of this program was that it was quite intense and I worked an average of 12 hours per day for the duration o...I have taken two courses at BrainStation so far.

I enjoyed and learned a lot from the UX Design bootcamp. It covered a wide range of content from research to design to testing. The instructors really cared about the students, and the TAs gave detailed feedback on assignments. The only downside of this program was that it was quite intense and I worked an average of 12 hours per day for the duration of the program so I would recommend anyone considering the bootcamp to commit to it full-time. With that said, the bootcamp gave me many tools to apply to my UX design career.
The Data Analytics certificate was more of an overview of data analytics topics covering Excel, SQL, and Tableau. While this course was a good introduction to the software, I would recommend a data bootcamp for anyone who hopes to dive into data analytics in detail.

An amazing bootcamp!
A fantastic boot camp that I thought helped sharpen my skill as a UX Designer. The coursework is a lot so make sure you put extra time outside of school to work on your projects. The instructors are always there so take advantage of their time, they offer great insights on how to improve and tackle problems from a different point of view. I would also recommend asking your classmates for help, they're probably learning about tips and tricks you don't know, they're a great resource. - AnonymousGraduateApr 03, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Fun way to create a new project!
The project we worked on throughout the course was a great way to exercise some creative muscles and apply what we talked about in class to an idea we were interested in exploring. I had a great time interviewing some potential users and playing with the programs to create my proposed application, and it was a great experience to imagine an idea as if I were bringing it to fruition in a product management role.

Learned something new!
I took the UX Design course at Brainstation and had a fun time with it! I would definitely say I learned something new and really enjoyed applying our new knowledge to the project. It really brought everything together. Some friendly feedback, I would say that the classes could have had more meet to them. Sometimes I felt like they could have been shorter or we could have combined two classes in one. But that may just be my learning pace.

Great way to learn with others
I thought this was a good intro course to the world of analytics. I did the accelerated class so it was a bit fast but regardless you have a environment to work, learn, practice and most importantly; make mistakes. It remains to be seen how the job assistance support works as I only recently began my job searching journey. I am looking forward to being apart of the alumni network. I would considering taking another Brainstation course or bootcamp in the future. - Anonymous- • Graduate • User Interface Design • TorontoMar 26, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Not worth the high cost.
Brainstation is way overpriced. You are only paying for the name and the certificate, which I need to find out how valuable that is in the UX/UI industry. Please do your research and seek out alternatives. Course instructors were not even knowledgeable, and watching them struggle with Figma was embarrassing. Would not recommend it, even for beginners, because you can find most of the course content online for free.

Great overview of UI Design
Brainstation team and tools are super professional. Their platform is good and makes learning engaging. The content touches most important aspects of UI Design, but it's a bit rushed. I with there was more time to dive deeper into the topics, without having to do individual research specially for Figma tutorials. But really happy with it and totally recommend specially if you don't have any UI design background. - AnonymousStudent • User Interface Design Online • OnlineMar 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
A Good Introduction
This course overall is a good introduction to User Interface design if you are very new to the field. The course material is not particularly challenging, but the coursework itself working towards a final project of a clickable prototype in Figma is quite a lot of work.

I took the cyber security certification course and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very informative and helpful to get a grasp of what cyber security is and what factors go into it.
