Choosing the Path to UX/UI Design
My journey into UX/UI design didn't start with curiosity about how digital products are created but with a mission to solve real-world issues. I've always been driven to build, fix, design, and invent—whether tangible or intangible, I was the guy getting involved. I aimed to create something of value for my community.

My journey into UX/UI design didn't start with curiosity about how digital products are created but with a mission to solve real-world issues. I've always been driven to build, fix, design, and invent—whether tangible or intangible, I was the guy getting involved. I aimed to create something of value for my community. With an idea in hand but unsure how to bring it to life, I discovered Figma. This tool was a gateway, but I quickly realized that while I had the drive to be a designer, my understanding of UX/UI was lacking. A self-taught six-month journey with Figma, fueled by countless YouTube tutorials, revealed the depth of UX/UI design. Eager to formalize my education, I sought out programs in Australia and was drawn to the Monash University UX/UI Boot Camp for its comprehensive curriculum and positive reviews, marking the beginning of a transformative adventure.
Boot Camp Experience
Embarking on this six-month boot camp, I was unprepared for the emotional and intellectual growth that awaited. Eight years prior, I had felt lost, exploring different paths and facing dead ends. Yet, it was through these challenges that I learned the value of trusting the process. The boot camp became a roller coaster of early mornings, sleepless nights, and a relentless stream of assessments. "The more you see obstacles as advantages, the better you are able to propel yourself further," became my mantra. Embracing challenges was not just a strategy but my secret weapon. The support and camaraderie from classmates and teachers, especially Grant and Joey, who navigated us through our questions and chaotic deliverables, were pivotal. This journey, with its late-night study sessions, laughter, and occasional freak-outs, became an unforgettable chapter of growth and friendship.
What I Wish I Knew Before Starting
Looking back, I wish I had a better grasp of the intensity and commitment required for a boot camp of this caliber. The importance of time management, embracing feedback, and the necessity of a supportive network became clear only as I navigated through the course. Knowing the value of these elements from the start would have prepared me mentally and emotionally for the journey ahead.
If I Were to Do It for the First Time
If I had the chance to start this journey anew, I would prioritize building a robust support system early on, engaging more deeply with the design community, and setting realistic expectations for the work and emotional investment needed. Additionally, I would remind myself to view every challenge as an opportunity for growth, reinforcing the mindset that being overwhelmed is a sign of development.
Closing Thoughts
This boot camp meant everything to me, transforming my passion and ideas into a viable career path in UX/UI design. To those considering this path, embrace the challenges, allow your creativity to flourish, and remember that every step, no matter how daunting, is a leap towards growth. With a heart full of gratitude, I look forward to applying the lessons learned and friendships forged as we all move forward to make the world a better place through our designs.
Thank you for this unforgettable journey.- Ramneet AnandGraduate • Cybersecurity • OnlineFeb 04, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Waste of money and time
Won't recommend to waste your money on bootcamps like it did. It's mostly marketing.
You can get more value through completing certificates like Security+ and CISSP, which you will be expected to complete afterwards anyway. So don't waste your time and over $10000.Boot Camp Team of Monash University Boot Camps

Thank you. From your review, we understand that the boot camp did not meet your expectations. The cybersecurity boot camp is not a replacement for the CompTIA industry requirements, however, we do aim to prepare learners for exams pertaining to a variety of credentials.
We regularly audit and update our curriculum based on the market demands and employer input, and the companies that we engage with do feel that we teach a robust set of skills to make our students competitive job seekers.
We welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly and learn how else we can assist you at this time.

What motivated me to join the data analytics bootcamp was my passion for manipulating data to tell a story. I had a brief introduction and experience in using R but this proved not adequate as such in the field of data science. I was keen to pursue a career that would challenge with big data so i went in search for a course that would equip me with essential skills.

I had a brief introduction and experience in using R but this proved not adequate as such in the field of data science. I was keen to pursue a career that would challenge with big data so i went in search for a course that would equip me with essential skills. Having, a background in statistics and financial mathematics i was keen for a short course with a well structured curriculum. After months of online research during Covid-19 lockdown i stumbled upon Monash data analytics bootcamp, i was instantly impressed by their course material. Couple of weeks of research and planning i enrolled myself. Since joining the program i dare say its been an amazing experience, my love for research and data was teleported to another level!!!. The tutors aka TA's as we call them, are helpful and give proper guidance on the course material. Evening classes suit my busy lifestyle. However, much study and personal research is vital for success because the program is fast-paced. My advice to future students would be come prepared and open minded, free up your schedule for personal study and course material revision, lastly be keen to understand the concept rather than ace the assignments. I guarantee you, this will transform your existence.Boot Camp Team of Monash University Boot Camps

The sales agent from Monash got me in last minute, a week before the course started without any pre course work. Being from a non IT background I was not able to catch up with the course content. The course is really fast, 3 days 3 hours a week. Everyday there are loads of information that needs to downloaded. They offered private tutors on Wednesdays who would never turn on the cameras and take his own sweet time to explain things making it more complicated. I spoke to 3 different managers in Monash in 2 months to explain my situation but not much help. REMEMBER YOU CANNOT WITHDRAW AFTER 1st WEEK that was never explained to me when signing the contract to pay $13500. I consulted many IT friends and Tutors from overseas and in everyone's view this course structure is too much for a non IT or a person working full time. Our group started with 28 people and could see every week some one dropping out. Once again please do a good research, watch videos and if decided pls take time to do the course in a proper way instead of bootcamp, if you have no prior coding experience.Boot Camp Team of Monash University Boot Camps

We appreciate your review, Vasu. We regret to hear your boot camp experience is not living up to your expectations.
Our course serves a mix of individuals ranging from those with no previous experience to experienced professionals. However, we do recommend that applicants hold a bachelor’s degree or have at least two years of experience in business, management, finance, statistics, or a related field for our data analytics program specifically.
Like you mentioned, this is a fast-paced and rigorous course requiring an extensive amount of time to truly master the topics covered. We do provide 50 hours of online pre-course tutorials to help students better understand some fundamental topics prior to starting the boot camp. We also strive to communicate to individuals prior to enrolling that they will need to spend 20-30 hours a week studying outside of class in order to truly succeed. Each of our class sessions is designed to build upon the last, and we do find that as the course continues, participants begin to feel more and more confident in their skills. We understand that this learning approach may not be sufficiently beneficial for you and we appreciate your input as we are constantly working on optimizing our program offerings.
Our enrollment agreement and admissions process do make the refund policy clear, noting that refunds are not possible after the drop period ends. We never want individuals to drop from the program, as such, we work with learners on a case-by-case basis to help them move forward and finish out their studies.

I am currently in week 16 of the Data Analytics Bootcamp. I've managed an A+ average but it's been a struggle that's getting worse. Up to this point, the content has been okay but the instruction and documentation has not. It lacks clarity and accuracy. It seems the instructor often hasn't reviewed the material before class.

Up to this point, the content has been okay but the instruction and documentation has not. It lacks clarity and accuracy. It seems the instructor often hasn't reviewed the material before class. There will often be errors in the starter code or the readme file won't match the comments in the file. The class activities are not done as activities but rather the solution is talked through, depriving us of the invaluable experience of working through the logic process and seeing the results as we go.
In the last couple of weeks, we've had few or no slides to accompany the sessions. The previous slides were often inconsistent, but they were something at least.
Students have resorted to googling to find the homework solutions of previous students in hopes of reverse engineering them and learning something.
I've raised this several times with my student success manager, while she's been lovely, nothing meaningful has been done to rectify the issues. I'm just falling further behind and I am struggling to find a way to complete the course. It's keeping me up at night.Boot Camp Team of Monash University Boot Camps

Thank you for your feedback. We regret to hear your boot camp experience as a whole is not living up to your expectations.
Our trainers go through a multi-step interview process and are vetted carefully. Our goal is for each trainer to facilitate a productive and collaborative environment for all students throughout the entirety of the program. All classes are recorded for quality assurance, monitoring instructor performance and class engagement in order to provide feedback to help instructors further develop their teaching skills, but we understand that not all teaching styles will resonate with all students. Our boot camps are rigorous and as such we strive to provide extensive support in the classroom through our team and outside of class through office hours, a free tutoring network, Slack, email, and our student success team. We hope you've been able to utilize these resources.
We not only strive to equip students with a robust academic framework, but we also work hard to help individuals develop strong problem-solving and self-teaching abilities: two qualities necessary in any real-world role. Our curriculum is based on extensive market research, teaching in-demand skills that learners can use to enter the current field. We understand that this learning approach may not have been sufficiently beneficial for you, and we appreciate your input as we are constantly working on optimizing our program offerings and course materials to ensure individuals are learning the most valuable skills and concepts.
We are committed to students feeling confident in their skills upon leaving the course, so we'd love to hear from you directly to see what else we can do at this time to reinforce your learning. If you would like, please reach out to us at +61 3 8376 1404.
