    Great intro to UX Design

    I just completed the UX Design course with Avi as the instructor and had such a great experience! This is a really great course to take if you're interesting in learning about UX Design and really covers the basic fundamentals to get started in the industry. Avi is a fantastic instructor - he made the course really fun and engaging and ensured he was available for any assistance needed throughout the submission/project process. I'd highly recommend the course! Also - work with a team for...

    Fantastic and fresh learning experience

    This course helped me to build on my previous education in User Experience design especially in strategy and usability testing. While I have performed user interviews and usability tests before as part of my previous program, this course provided a more detailed understanding for me. The steps involved in the strategy unit showed me that there is so much more to learn from users during interviews than I previously thought. I highly value the opportunity given by Brainstation to learn mor...

    Learned a lot of information.

    The course itself was fantastic, it applied a real no-nonsense type of learning experience with real life examples. The project seems to be based on real life expectations and fit well into my overall learning objectives for my new career journey.

    Creative, Exciting, Engaging and Informative

    Enrolling in the UI Design Course at Brainstation was one of the best decisions I've made. I went into this course hoping to learn something new and explore my interests and came out of it with so much more, an immense amount of knowledge that I apply to my job everyday and discovering my passion for UI. I loved how informative and supportive my instructor was and how each class was exciting, creative, and engaging.

    Helpful primer

    I came into this training as a relative data novice, with only a beginner-to-intermediate competence with Excel.  I wanted to get exposure to a broader data analytics toolset so that I could work more effectively with the data analysts on my team.  In 10 weeks, we tore through Excel, SQL and Tableau.  At times it was overwhelming, but it all came together in the end.  I can't say that I'm an expert by any stretch, but I have a much better understanding of how large datasets get analyzed ...

    Succinct introduction. Good, current, insights.

    The course was pretty succinct and covered a good range of basics to get a good understanding of digital marketing and the breadth of it. The course leader was working in the industry at a high level and had many current insights into the industry which I found important as digital marketing is still very much in flux with new social media platforms, new laws and regulations from across the globe regarding cookies and privacy - which are very important when it comes to targeted marketing...

    UX Design Certificate, BrainStation

    I am glad I took this course for many reasons. Firstly, the 10-week program was packed with information and useful resources but was also concise. Secondly, the instructors were really helpful and guided me well throughout the course, even when the questions were related to the job market and portfolio and not just the UX course. I am a graduate of Interaction Design but I got to learn more about UX best practices from this 10-week course than from my 8-month long course!

    Excellent Foundation Course for UX/UI

    My goals for this course were easily met and more!  Brainstation has curated an impactful UX/UI course experience. I came in with an understanding of Human Centered Design but no prior experience with UX or UI and feel like I have a solid foundational understanding of the field as a graduate. This was possible through intentional course design - content builds on itself in a comprehensive way throughout the 10 weeks of the course.  What I loved most is the UX/UI project we curate along t...

    BrainStation is the best there is!

    I could not be more satisfied with BrainStations data analytics class. The instructors were well versed in their knowledge of SQL, and Tableau. The classrooms and building itself are gorgeous, everyone is welcoming, and you meet some really great people. I would 100% recommend.
