Jen BGraduate • User Interface Design Course Online • OnlineDec 14, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceUser Interface Design - 10 week online program
I completed the 10 week User Interface course in December 2019. I really liked the flexibility of the online elarning environment, although there can certainly be pros and cons to this format. I think you get out of what you put into online learning. One thing that impressed me is that if I had a question, communicating on Slack was super easy with my cohort and also instructors and the broader school community.

In general I found that the course was a good foundation for theory, and hands on learning helped to build on that base. The course material was fast paced so you really needed to be on top of your learning game and attend all sessions if possible. The instructors provided good real life examples and pro tips for developing as a designer, and some career coaching.
I want to say that the expectation should be not to run out and immediately get a job in UX/UI after, but this is a great kickstart on a learning journey in working in the User Experience Design field.
I'd like the pace for theory slowed down a bit, and access to the course material via a downlaodable format which currently ins't available. You have access to the material for 6 months but I feel this is a bit of a gap.
Overall for me it was a positive learning experience and suitable for some one looking for introduction to design principles and tools, or interest in cross training to a new function in the field.

Full Stack Web Dev - 10 weeks Bootcamp

no soy alguien que normalmente deje comentarios sobre algo en especifico, pero espero que esta informacion pueda ayudar a futuros interesados en el programa, el bootcamp de 10 semanas es una de las mejores experiencias, pero se deve estar preparado para tomarlo y cuando digo preparado me refiero a disponer de las 10 semanas solo para aprender codigo incluyendo los fines de semana, aunque el horario de clase diga que es hasta las 4 de la tarde no es asi, lo mejor si quieres realmente aprender y extresarste lo menos posible, lo mejor es quedarse y despejar dudas con los TAs despues de clase, es un bootcamp dificil ya que recibes mucha informacion en poco tiempo, por que si te descuidas arrastras debilidades durante todo el curso, mi consejo para llevar el bootcamp de una manera mas placentera, antes de empezar el bootcamp, un mes antes en lo posible estudiar las bases de javascript, el resto de cosas como HTML,CSS, command line, git hub diria yo que se adaptan muy bien con el tiempo de apredizaje en el curriculum, hablo desde mi punto de vista de como yo senti el programa. obviamente hay estudiantes que tienen experiencia previa o una capacidad de aprendizaje mas rapida y puede que les cueste menos aprender y se adapten mas facil a los tiempos establecido para cada tema, pero para una persona que no tiene ni la menor idea de codigo ese seria mi consejo. pos data: los proyectos de fin de semana son lo mejor para probarte a ti mismo.
el bootcamp es completamente en ingles, alguien con un 80% de ingles diria yo que puede tomarlo, espero que algun latino interesado lea esto.

Graphic Designer turned UX/UI Designer
I was a graphic designer for 15+ years. I felt very stuck in my career, my salary had hit the ceiling and although I had worked in various industries the type of work was always the same. Print design and a bit of web/app design that was really designing in the dark because it wasn't data driven.

I was a graphic designer for 15+ years. I felt very stuck in my career, my salary had hit the ceiling and although I had worked in various industries the type of work was always the same. Print design and a bit of web/app design that was really designing in the dark because it wasn't data driven. I would receive a creative brief with some cursory research at best and be expected to design a successful app or website. The people I worked with didn't know any better and frankly neither did I. As I started to research UX/UI design I realized there was a whole discipline that knew how to design digital products for a postivie user experience and so I signed up for some on line courses but it was really difficult to do them after work and putting my son to bed. I was too exhausted to absorb and understand the content on my own. I knew I had to immerse myself into the world of UX/UI and listening to myself instilling growth mindset into my son on a regular basis I finally decided to practice what I preach and become a REAL UX/UI Designer. Wyncode taught me so many new skills, technical as well as soft skills (ie; presenting) and I acquired a ton of knowledge that would have been difficult to have achieved on my own in a 10-week time frame. I'm not going to lie, this was VERY hard. Every week I would find myself working till 1, 2, 3 o'clock in the morning. This happened at least 3x's a week. It is not a course for people who don't want to work hard. I am a Mom, and I managed but if you are a parent, planning to do this course, get your resources in place to make sure you have child care. You will not see a lot of your family for 10 weeks. Sometimes you have to be selfish though to make a better life for yourself and ultimately your family. Good luck!

Life changing experience!
I did not know that my life was about to change the way it did. It was a GREAT experience, I learned a lot, more than I could learn by myself. I applied for the full-time Full Stack Web Dev program, and now after finishing the program I can confidently say that I feel developed a valuable skillset, and not just that, now my network in the Tech scene is growing so fast, and it makes me feel that I'm in the right place.

The support that I'm getting from the Wyncode team its just amazing and it is for life, and that's simply great.
The program is super organized, every Wyncode member is commited to help you and push you out of your comfort zone.
And of course, if you are reading this, like I was doing a few months back... The job?
I got an paid internship at this known company here in Miami, there's other people finding jobs already or getting interviews.
They don't guarantee you a job, but let's be honest you gotta put the hard work, that's not their responsability, but it is importat to highlight that they give you all the tools and all the support that you may need, and they go extra mile with this.
100% recommended

Product Management- a course for everyone!
I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to pursue product management or is just looking to refine their skills in business strategy and thinking.
The flow of the course was well structured, and there were a lot of real-world examples to compare the frameworks to. I specifically found the in-class project a very useful way to apply the frameworks in a practical way.

The flow of the course was well structured, and there were a lot of real-world examples to compare the frameworks to. I specifically found the in-class project a very useful way to apply the frameworks in a practical way.
In addition to learning all the tools and steps to bring a product (physical, or tech) to market, a lot of these tools are also applicable to strategic thinking to all types of business. The tools and insights gave me a fresh perspective on our customer profiles, our strategic offering, the SWOT and risk analysis of the future of our business and more. It was also really valuable to see how other people used these tools to apply to their product, and to learn from both our instructor and the people in the class.
The instructors were very experienced, had a clear course syllabus with an intuitive flow, and the custom platform Brainstation has implemented made it easy to follow along with the lecture material, find extra supportive materials, and to submit projects.
I would recommend this course to anyone- as there is something applicable for all.

I have been hearing a ton about AI in the media and felt it was important to understand it at a deeper level. Having never written a line of code, I knew it would be a challenge for me but felt with the right instructor I could learn. After searching through many different schools in Toronto I finally chose Brainstation. I did the once a week Saturday full day courses and the instructor (Casey) was amazing. The course covered a very wide variety of topics including Neural networks, Gradient Descent, NLP and Random Forest Models. I appreciate the depth of the course and the hands on nature of it. What was amazing is Casey's insights into how Machine Learning works in a corporate setting and laying out very practical applications for it as well as career strategies. The learning systems Brainstation use (Synapse) are very comprehensive and taff would respond to queries ASAP. By the end of the course I was able to make a machine learning/ Artificial Neural Network model to predict California real estate prices. It was definitely challenging but taking this course was the best decision I made. Highly highly recommend taking the leap, even if you are a NEWBIE like me:)

It was an excellent program to jump-start your data science curiosity. I took the Data Science program and was introduced with many methods. Although each method was kind of brief, they should suffice in preparing you for further self-study after the course is done. I would say the notes (they call it labs) are amazing. They have many of case studies. Although they are not a complete manuals themselves, they are engaging to read through examples than reading based on solely the Python manu...

They have many of case studies. Although they are not a complete manuals themselves, they are engaging to read through examples than reading based on solely the Python manuals. I signed up for an online course elsewhere and all I had for the second week were two links to Python documentation websites. My advice is to take the DS course at BrainStation with the expectation that you will keep learning after the course. It was great to learn a lot within 12 weeks while making new friends with various backgrounds.

The course objective was not to make us learn a particular tool but to know the process and that's how my trainer approached the class.
During the class, I interacted with my cohort students an learnt a lot from them. Since the project was individually driven, students in the class helped out in refining the user interviews, intevriew script, initial testing etc.
Course curriculum was apptly designed and being hands-on in learning made me understand lot of concepts which I will remember for life.
I will surely recommend this course to aspiring UX students.
