    Good for beginners

    I did the 8 weeks UX Design course at Brainstation. I like how the first few classes explain what UX Design is and how to conduct user research before jumping into wireframes, usability, and Figma, which comes in later. I am completely new to the subject, so I feel that I gained a lot from the course. It didn't feel too rushed, everything that was seen in the class was very well explained and the instructors are very patient and well-prepared. I'm not sure if it prepared me enough to wor...

    A great learning experience

    UX/UI Bootcamp Changed My Life

    I thought I was going to learn some "new skills" so I could just apply for designer jobs. Boy - I was wrong. Not only was this the hardest thing I have ever done scholastically, it was also the most rewarding. I truly had no idea what I was in for - I thought I would just be "creating" but what I do know now is becoming a UX/UI designer in this course has levelled me up.

    My teachers were amazing, especially our TA Laura. Christina was also someone who will make t...
