Having the chance to learn from experts in the UX field has been of great value to me because it is always better when you have someone with experience to guide you. I also enjoyed creating new connections with people who were very open-minded and on the same path as me, making teamwork a very satisfying experience.
Petar Markoski, Alumnus
The UX Design Bootcamp was an incredible experience! You learn UX design theory from industry experts, participate in skill-building workshops and get to sharpen all of your new skills with real-world examples and projects. It was a lot of learning, a lot of work and a lot of fun!
Rebecca Kiechl, Alumna
First I was afraid that I would not learn much new as I already worked as a graphic designer, but this fear quickly turned out to be unfounded. I have learned so many new tools, got another perspective to design, and had hands-on experience in the field of User Experience Design – it is more than what you see!
Wendy Kok, Alumna
In only 12 weeks I had gained all the hard skills and soft skills to give me a real edge in my career as a junior digital professional. I feel like the Talent Garden Innovation School is so different and special because they really give importance and pay attention to the students and our professional growth.
Giulia, Talent Garden Innovation School Alumna
A perspective on the education that I wouldn’t otherwise get. Maybe I can also cooperate with Talent Garden or with some of the companies that we got to know here to actually become more professional in the way we are doing things.

Innovative spaces, the rooms, the people, and the whole information that gets transferred. I think it’s a really really good approach for people in our creative industry to get to know a lot of different things and new technologies.

It’s a perfect combination of so many aspects that provides a lot of chances for young people, especially students or newcomers in this whole working world. It is just the right thing for people who love challenges.

It's a perfect way to learn A LOT in a very short time. So if you want to skip university, just go to Talent Garden Innovation School. I also like that it's a new way of learning and studying and not old fashioned university style.

I really enjoyed and loved the course. I'm really sad it's over. It was such a great experience and I grew so much as a person in the best possible way. Talent Garden gave me so much and I really found myself in this course. The experts and the content was awesome and I feel like I have learned so much and feel very equipped for the job market.

I would recommend this course to anyone I know and care about. It was a great experience and I learned so much, even though I didn't think it would be possible in such a short amount of time. Talent Garden Vienna is such a lovely, warm but professional place, it's just great to spend every day here.
