    Amazing people, amazing experience

    I studied Software Engineering at BrainStation and graduated this month and I couldn't have even prepared myself for what I was in for. The only two words I have for the learning experience are dense and remarkable. I came into the program not knowing a single line of code, I wouldn't have even been able to tell you what a <p> tag was. Over the course of 400 hours though, I studied harder than I ever have and often worked well into the early hours of the morning. The educators have...

    Transformative and empowering

    My bootcamp experience has been nothing short of transformative. The intensive curriculum, combined with a collaborative learning environment, pushed me beyond my comfort zone and accelerated my growth. The challenges were opportunities for skill development, and the supportive community made every hurdle feel achievable. I leave the bootcamp feeling empowered and well-equipped for the next phase of my journey. Grateful for the enriching experience and the invaluable skills gained!

    The best educational experience I've ever had on my life.

    I quit college to become a self-taught developer, but after 3 months of applying, I could not get a job, and I was lost and losing hope.

    I decided to attend BrainStation as my last resort, and that was the best decision I've ever taken. Not only was I able to become a better developer in every single sense, but I was also was able to make deep friendships and get back something that I lost. I have back my hope.

    The Brainstation curriculum is super strong, and the teachers a...

    Overall, a great experience

    Witnessing the progression in the quality of my projects from the first week to the last week of the boot camp was truly remarkable. The instructors demonstrated extensive knowledge of UX and stayed current with industry trends. I recommend this boot camp to anyone looking to enter the field of UX. While I can't speak extensively on job assistance as I've just graduated today, my overall experience has been excellent so far.

    BrainStation

    Coming in I must admit I was a bit skeptical of what the experience would be like, however BrainStation exceeded all my expectations. The curriculum was very challenging, I recommend brushing up on javascript skills before attending. There were people who were successful coming in not knowing anything but those with a bit of a background definitely had an advantage. The instructors were amazing and really wanted everyone to succeed and the TA's went out of their way to help those that we...

    Overall pleasant UX design boot camp experience!

    Today is our last day of boot camp. Overall, I would say I learned a lot. It was definitely effective in teaching us hard and soft skills required for the industry. I would say that there’s some things that could have been organized and orchestrated better, such as the order and due dates of certain assignments. There were moments when we were shuffling 3 assignments at once, and other moments which were very relaxed- it could have been spread out more effectively. The career matching af...
