Frequently Asked Questions
How are bootcamps delivered?
Our bootcamp is delivered online and consists of two 2-hour sessions per week, on Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday.
Your first lesson of the week will be theory-based, teaching you specific principles and concepts of design, allowing for live discussion and questions throughout the session. At the end of the session, you will be set a task to apply the taught theory.
The second session of the week will be presentations, in which you will be taking part in a group critique of your designs, simulating the practice used in design roles.
Your instructor will advise from a technical and business perspective, as your peers provide user insights and feedback.
Is the Bootcamp accessible to those hard of hearing?
Yes, there is a Zoom plugin available for captions that can be set up for each session. Please notify us in advance to ensure this is provided.

How this differs from the bootcamp
How this differs from the online course
We get this question a lot but hopeful the below should clear things up. The Product Design Bootcamp…
- Holds you accountable for completion
- Provides you with a dedicated instructor
- Gives you access to a careers advisor 6 months after course completion
- Interview help and assistance on completion
- Access to optional weekend drop-in sessions
- A more intense environment that will motivate you during the course
- A strong peer to peer network
The product design course is more for those of you who are looking for something a little more relaxed where you can:
- Plan studying around your own schedule
- Have contact time with instructors on a flexible basis
- Be in control of the classes you want to attend
So whichever avenue you choose really depends on your learning preferences.
