    An engaging experience

    Going back to formal education, this was a great way of easing back into this kind of setting. Our instructors were really lovely, engaging and interesting and it wasn't intimidating whatsoever. Plenty of opportunities to network with other students and be a part of an exciting educational environment.

    Very glad I took this course

    I'm very glad I took this course, I've been a graphic designer for 20 years and had no idea how much I did not know. I have so much more confidence now, in Figma, with colors, with grids (8 point grid specifically) and more. And it was not just instructors reading, they are real UI designers working in the field right now explaining with real world examples, that really helps.

    Informative, fast-paced, fun

    Overall very valuable experience and I strongly recommend it. It was great to learn in a classroom with a small group. The lessons contained up-to-date information and instructors transferred the knowledge efficiently and in an easy-to-understand way, making it fun as well. They shared a lot of examples from their own professional experience, which was very important. Classes were interactive, and students engaged in brainstorming and practical individual and group tasks. A big thanks to...

    A new world opened up in front of my eyes

    I really enjoyed studying at Brainstation, I can't wait to use all the knowledge I got in my work on a daily basis. The instructors are all super supportive and knowledgable, the curriculum is up to date, assignments well designed. They created a real community at the campus, had an amazing time collaborating with other teams and students. I loved the opportunity working on British Airways' 24h hackaton challenge.

    1. This is a review is about the bootcamp  Conducted by Brainstation attended at Vancouver, and all my experiences and personal thoughts

    Highly qualified instructors - very good information

    The pace was rigorous for a class with no prerequisites. The instructors were world class with a wealth of knowledge.  I would have appreciated some supplemental reading assignments in between classes so I could keep up with the class better. Again, the class itself was excellent, but the caliber of students wasn't what I was expecting. Unfortunately, many of my classmates did not participate fully in the weekly classes and they did not complete the final project - this reduces the value...
