So, you're looking to transition into the field of UX Design. It's a big step. You decide a bootcamp is the way to go. Sure, you can go on CourseReport and look at reviews. But keep in mind, that person has no comparison.
How would you like a review from a UX Professional that has worked as an instructor/mentor at many of these establishments?
My intention is to write an individual review of each place I have worked, but here is a quick list of opinions.
