If you're expecting to get a job from immediately from a bootcamp (especially in today's economy) that's an unrealistic expectation. You have to work hard even outside of the bootcamp to get a job or even an internship. The market is highly saturated with bootcamp grads.

One of the teachers was rude and didn't want to teach at all, he didn't have any teaching certification. Every time we asked him to demonstrate how to do something on Figma he would say that he didn't want to do it, the whole class was horrified by that teacher, he demotivated all my classmates.
The school always "invited students" to workshops but we were never able to attend because they were during class time.
I DO NOT 100% recommend this Bootcamp, run as fast as you can

The onboarding experience was a bit shaky. The admission team didn't set out the expectation unless I asked specific questions. I didn't know the first two-weeks were remote until I joined the program and the person who explained the time for the course misinformed by an hour early which I had to confirm after seeing it written on the admission agreement. I understand that the terms and conditions with software programs can change rapidly, but I wish the BrainStation team were a bit communicative. There was initially sign-up code for students for Sketch which was no longer the case for my cohort. But the fact that I had to reach out to admission team first to be told "Don't worry about it", then later on during the first two weeks of remote classes one of the educator explained the backstory after they got asked by one of the student. It gave me the impression that they weren't as organized or transparent.

Then from week 3-12, it was in-person. The learning experience was soo much better. If you are considering between remote or in-person, and if you are able to commute to one of their campuses, please take in-person. Although there were some days that were mostly independent work hours besides morning kick-offs (which is about 30 minutes long). For those days, I wish I had an option to work from home since some of us were commuting 1hr + one way. Since they take attendance, you still need to go in even when the schedules looks pretty empty. Also they switched the schedules last minutes without notice, specially last couple weeks. I checked the schedule the night before and the next morning it'd be something different. Those incidents made me feel like my time wasn't valued. But besides that the quality of educators were brilliant. My TA was amazing. They were all very supportive, passionate about the subject and teaching.

I didn't appreciate how they placed career accelerator lectures (Essentially improving your resume, and LinkedIn account) when we were swarmed with projects and capstone projects. The structure of the curriculum can be improved but overall I'm happy about my decisions and what I gained from the program.

There are so many great things but I wanted whoever is reading this knows what I wished I knew before enrolling so that you have fair expectations of what you'll be getting.
Cheers to you:)

The course was very informative at a high level. Our instructor David was great and had a lot of experience he shared throughout the duration of the course. He shared a ton of resources to help us dive deeper in the the subject as well. The curriculum was useful as an introduction and good for people pivoting into Product Management rather than starting from scratch in a completely different field.

Great Experience
I am just graduating from the UX BootCamp, and it has been an intense but fun experience. If you're considering keep in mind that: you won't have a life for 3 months, you're going to be constantly exhausted and won't have extra time to do things that you are used to. It is a stressful but great experience. So if I can give you one piece of advice: plan ahead your bootcamp routine and notify your loved ones that you'll be off during bootcamp.

BrainStation - UX Design Bootcamp
I had a great experience at BrainStation. I met some amazing people and gained a lot of knowledge and valuable skills to help me in my UX Design journey. It also really helped me stick to a routine which I didn't have before. My main criticism is that we got most of the feedback for our work pretty late so I would jump into doing new work not fully aware of what I had to improve yet and there was A LOT of work. You really have to manage your time well and know how to multitask. The boot...
