    Fast paced, engaging overview of UX

    I took the UX Course (not bootcamp)
    This was a great 8-week condensed course that walks you through the principles and processes of User Experience Design.
    I had an existing understanding of UX and was hoping to round out some of my hard skills. This is not required but I felt that some familiarity with the content was helpful in getting the most out of the experience! 
    Being familiar with Figma at a high-level is also helpful - they teach you a bit but there is so much you can ...

    Digital Marketing Review

    The course was packed with tons of information and resources for each section. Both instructors have a lot of work experience and it shows in their examples, and the way they teach. I really enjoyed the course and would be willing to enroll in another, in the future. The final project was beneficial to my job, so that was useful and a nice way to show off the skills learned.

    Amazing experience

    The course was thorough and the instructors were brilliant in their teachings. They shared how things work in a real-life PM job.
    It would be better if there was more assistance from BrainStation on the job hunt process or connecting to the hiring partners.

    informative, practical but relatively heavy

    I had a good experience with the Digital Marketing course. The instructors are nice and dedicated. The lessons are practical, helpful and informative. However, there's a lot of information to digest in 3 hours so it felt a little overwhelming at times. If you take time reviewing the materials, you will develop good knowledge for digital marketing.
