We cap our classrooms at around 24 students. We believe that a limited number of seats within a classroom promotes a more individualized learning experience for our students.

We encourage a basic knowledge of Figma before joining this bootcamp in order to have the most success as a student. You will dive into the concept of Design Systems from the beginning, so some background knowledge will greatly influence your understanding of the topic.

Our prep tasks ensure that you are ready for your first day of class with the appropriate accounts, knowledge, and community. They are designed to set you up for success as a student.

Since Memorisely is fully remote, leading up to your Bootcamp, you will join a private Campus Slack Workspace in which you’ll access your classroom and fellow students to begin connecting with each other. You will have access to all future, current, and graduated students if you’re keen to expand your learning network.

When your term begins, each week you’ll join Zoom sessions where you will collaborate with each other and your teacher.

Yes. Recordings are shared within 24 hours of each session in your Classroom space.

Firstly, our Bootcamps differ from typical online courses due to our live and immersive learning experience. Typical online courses offer 60hr+ of videos behind a paywall and have approximately a 12.6% completion rate.

We proudly measure a 98% completion rate from students. So, instead of trying to teach yourself by goggling at a video, you’ll join a fun class and be taught live through our learn-by-doing approach!

Secondly, you’ll be joining classmates around the world, motivating, collaborating and learning from each other. You’ll graduate with each other and likely remain design buddies for life!

Yes! Whether you have a portfolio already or not, you will create your portfolio or build upon an existing one with two complete case studies that you will work on throughout class. During your term break, you’ll devote your time to designing and building your portfolio content through a guided framework provided by your teacher.

During our Design System Bootcamp you will complete one case study that focuses on creating a Design System from scratch.

In order to receive a Memorisely Graduation certificate, you will need to attend 80% of live sessions, join with your camera on, and complete your Case Study. If you are unable to join class and/or have your camera on, you will need to let your teacher know in advance and commit to watching the recording in order to stay up to date for the next live session.

We don’t recommend taking multiple bootcamps at once if you are working a full-time job. However if you have the time and your schedule allows, two Bootcamps are feasible but will require some discipline and commitment.
