Introducing the Most Flexible Way to Break into a User Experience Design or Data Analytics Career: GA’s New Part-Time UX Design and Data Analytics Bootcamps

General Assembly
April 22, 2024

We recently introduced our new part-time Software Engineering Bootcamp, giving learners the unique ability to hit start on a new coding career without pressing pause on their life. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re excited to announce two more new part-time bootcamps to our program mix — a part-time UX Design Bootcamp and a part-time Data Analytics Bootcamp.

All our part-time bootcamps are specially designed to fit learning into your life — understanding your schedule is already action-packed. Now you have the opportunity to learn at your own pace and dedicate time when it works for you. To learn without having to quit your job. With our new part-time bootcamps, in just 15 hours a week, you get the tech skills you need to jumpstart your new career. 

How Our UX Design and Data Analytics Bootcamps Work — and What You’ll Learn

Same as our part-time Software Engineering Bootcamp, our part-time UX Design Bootcamp and part-time Data Analytics Bootcamp are built from the same award-winning curriculum that’s already helped tens of thousands of learners launch new careers worldwide. The main difference is that you now have the opportunity to learn the material in smaller, more flexible segments. 

Each part-time bootcamp lasts 32 weeks, with breaks between each unit. Students spend just 15 hours a week completing microlessons, attending live sessions, and working on their project components — with the ability to flexibly fit their lab and study time into their schedule.   

In other words, you can learn while you life

And in eight short months, you’ll have experienced the same engaging lectures and market-aligned curriculum of a full-time General Assembly bootcamp — with the benefit of being able to dictate your own practice time and pace. 

In addition, you’ll also learn how to enhance your value as a tech pro by leveraging GenAI in your work. We cover how to use large language models like ChatGPT to boost productivity and work smarter. Fundamentals include writing good prompts and how to use generative AI tools ethically and responsibly.

All of this learning acceleration is achieved with the same community-driven, expert-led experience that’s core to our approach. 

Part-Time or Full-Time UX Design Bootcamp: Which One Is Right For You?

We’re well-versed in preparing learners from all backgrounds for entry-level UX design roles. We’ll teach you the skills, design principles, and tech tools you need to work for the world’s top companies. And you’ll graduate with a portfolio, connections, and true tech savvy.

Let’s take a closer look at what separates our full-time UX Design Bootcamp from our new part-time UX Design Bootcamp.
