Introduction
BrainStation's Online User Experience Design Bootcamp is a hands-on, project-based learning experience, designed to transform skill sets and help students launch a new career in design.
To emphasize collaboration and outcomes-based skills development, the program provides a low student-teacher ratio, with a comprehensive curriculum that is updated in real-time.
Led by Educators with experience in the field, students will use design thinking, Sketch, InVision, and more to develop a deep understanding of UX design principles, including information architecture, prototyping, and usability testing, user interface design, responsive design, app design, and more. This knowledge is then applied to complete two design sprints, three real-world projects (focusing on separate components of UX design), and a final portfolio piece.
By the end of the bootcamp, graduates will have the skills, experience, and portfolio required to start a career in UX.
