    Good, challenging, optimistic

    This course was challenging, but necessary   I met great classmates and learned to work as a team. The curriculum was heavy (a lot of information) and it was presented very fast. The course is a bit compressed, but it's a great starting point to move forward into the field of Data Analytics. I definitely recommend this challenge to anyone looking to advance in their career.

    Online classes are not worth the money or time

    Instructors reading a slide deck does not count as teaching. I recently finished the online UI Design certificate course. It consisted of 8 weekly online classes, each primarily a 3 hour lecture. I and many other students already had some base knowledge in UI design and for us this course had very little new information. 

    Any claim that this course was innovative or taught by expert instructors was a lie. Yes, the instructors were professionals in their field, but certainly not ex...

    Informative and Practical

    Great experience at the Brainstation Bootcamp. The teachers were very helpful and I gained a lot of practical knowledge and experience learning software engineering. It was definitely a tough commitment to do full-time for 12 weeks and the bootcamp was very fast-paced, so it may not be for everyone, but for those who truly want to learn software fast, Brainstation is a great place to not just dip your toes in the war but cannonball into the pool.

    In-Person Quality Time

    I had a positive experience here.  Two in-industry instructors rounded each other's expertise, which allowed me to feel like the instruction was relevant.  That a being said, being that the course was only once a week for 8-weeks, it would have fallen far short of being an in-depth, comprehensive class or bootcamp.  If you are someone without any skills in UI/UX and are looking for an introduction, this would be the course--however, the cost is a little pricey for information that you co...

    I really enjoyed the UX Design course at BrainStation. I started with no knowledge of making a story-telling prototype with supportive instructors in my class.
