    Brainstation - UX Design Course Review

    I started my UX Design course in September and it lasted for 10 weeks. I went in with no relative experience in user experience design so was eager to learn the fundamentals and get a thorough introduction into UX. The course was brilliant, the instructor, Carlos is a knowledgeable, approachable and enthusiastic instructor who really delivered a great course, ensuring everyone got the best help and learning experience they needed, regardless of their skill-level.

    Interesting, fresh, practical

    I think it had well condensed notes and excellent teachers who went beyond to create worksheets and exercises. The hands on is the best portion. However I do wish the class content which we pay for it accessible or at the very least downloadable (the Google slides).

    The data analytics course provided me with a starting point to understand how I can research quantitatively any topic of interest without hesitation. 

    The final project helped me understand what I can do better in the future to achieve the best techniques to tell a story regardless of my background.

    Wonderful staff and teachers, great offices, very clear and helpful courses and curriculum.The instructor was amazing - he was clearly experienced in both the subject matter and how to teach, and made every topic feel approachable. He intuitively seemed to understand what concepts the class needed more time on, and was able to be flexible, sometimes introducing concepts typically outside the scope of the course when we seemed ready to try a more advanced topic.

    The UX Design program covers a lot of material in just 3 months so it is very intense, but it will certainly prepare you for a successful career switch, transforming you from knowing nothing about UX/UI to feeling confident and ready to land a role in the industry after graduation. The educators were very knowledgeable and great at providing the necessary support and guidance.

    challenging, rewarding, intense, fun, not very inclusive.

    The course is intense and fast paced, with no days off for 3 months straight.
    It's an incredible learning experience that can add to your skillset. Getting through it was the most rewarding feeling and it's a good place to practice time management and resilience.

    I would have wished to see more inclusivity and support for neurodiversity.

    Great Bootcamp / crash course into product management fundamentals. 
    Very interesting course, and great to hear about experiences from a professional product manager.

    2 of my favorite things about the course were hearing Jeremy's interesting opinions on different aspects of product management and the group work projects were very, very fun!!
    Makes me wish the group work was actually my job!

    Very good experience

    Overall this bootcamp was a very good experience. I gained a lot of knowlegde that is useful for my future careers. Though the whole course was very rushed and the hours were long, the content was very valuable and it gave an opportunity for people who have full time jobs. More time to ask questions may be good. Cameras should not be mandatory as some people do not have access to cameras or they are not in the environment to have their camera on.

    Excellent Engaging Data Analytics Course!

    I absolutely found this course amazing! I am a student that has no previous experience in tech, yet the course is super beginner friendly. I love how my instructors are all in top tech industries teaching us strategies they use in their day-to-day work. I was able to learn SQL and grasp Tableau in such a short period and I couldn't do it without the help of my instructors, Nathan and Wesley!!!

    The course is well structured and taught by people working in the industry. Teachers have a teacher assistant who helps with the flow of the course. The class deals with both the theoretical and skills elements of UX and UI. I would highly recommend it for the price.

    I thought that the tutors were really supportive and proactive in helping us all learn with lectures, projects, design sprints all geared towards ensuring we have all the necessary tools for industry. It is a very fast paced course, but I would say it was great that this could all be condensed into 3 months. BrainStation is a great place for networking and building new relationships in tech.

    Intense but worth every moment

    Just completed the 3-month full time UX Design Bootcamp at BrainStation and it was the best decision I could've made for my career and myself. 

    Some positives: 
    Content-wise, the course covered everything you'd need to know to become a UX/ UI Designer -- from UX fundamentals, to motion design to responsive design. I particularly liked that the course had a big focus on both UX and UI (I'm conscious that some other bootcamps do not offer as much focus on the UI side, which is so...
