    Awesome introduction to coding

    The web development course was a great way to start my introduction to coding, David was a awesome instructor that made the learning process easy and enjoyable to understand. Darren also did a great job assisting David and adding his touch to the course.

    Great review would recommend

    This was a great way to learn more about UX design. Really good for a designer who is looking to upskill. Great community set up both in campus and on LinkedIn. The tutors were very supportive and were available outside of class hours. Had a great project for portfolios after the course was completed

    Solid & Exact but more exercises.

    I enjoyed my time here, the course was everything it promised and I got what I exactly came for which is have experienced hands walk me through the whys of ux, behind the UI. 
    The course material does need updating though as some of the class instructors have sometimes had different views to the contents and offered much recent illustrations on many occasions.

    100% Worth It

    I contemplated going through a UX Bootcamp for an entire year before I actually took the plunge. The thought of quitting my job, immersing myself back into an intensive learning environment, and making a career change was daunting. After all, what if it didn't work out and I had wasted all the time, money, and effort doing it for nothing? But everything that BrainStation gave me paid off in the end as I am now successfully working as a full-time UX Designer for a great company.

Their real world examples gave us insight into the problems and solutions that product managers face each day in their careers. Would recommend the course to anyone thinking about product as a career path.

    Fantastic jumpstart into Product

    The class was great, definitely elevated by the instructors Chitra and Shaan. They made the classes very grounded to reality being product managers currently. They were both easy to talk to, approachable and always made the class engaging. The class content was what I expected before coming in, I wish there was more time to touch on the topics more in depth. With that said though, the breadth of information was appreciated as well.

    Difficult... yet rewarding...

    I attended BrainStation Data Science Bootcamp from July to September 2022, and for me personally it was grueling 12 weeks filled with tired eyes and sleepless nights, yet at the end of it all, I was satisfied & proud that I had learned new skills which would be help me transition my career into data science.
