What I would highlight:
RED offers a PPD class where they teach you "how to get a job in the tech industry," it turned out to be a waste of time and money to me. Instead of preparing us for customized classes directed towards the tech industry (for example: knowledge about salary for a junior role, portfolio preparation, drafting a freelance contract), we were given very generic and basic resume classes and nonsense exercises such as creating a rap song or building a tower with popsicle sticks. I asked for some material and resources from the PPD class and the instructor never sent it to me. At the end, she was let go, although we were promised that she would provide career coaching once we graduated.
RED has partnerships with a recruiting agency called Creative Niche. You would think that they will either help you land a job or connect you with other companies. Instead, all they did was say that my resume was perfect and gave zero constructive feedback. If my resume was perfect, why didn’t she ask me to do an interview right away? Also, I noticed that they always have online job postings for UI Designers, yet never bothered to asked any of us.
The instructors were highly knowldegable in their craft and equipped to revert all the queries. They offer great careeer opportunities and everything was up to the mark. I would recommend the same to all.

There is a lot of content at first, in the short span of time you have to study a lot, learn new skills and its all creative. The company has done a real good job in creating suhch courses and culture. Instructors wree great and everything is perfect. You must keep in mind that you'll get to learn a lot and instructors were lucky were good enough.

What I would highlight:
It's a 12 week long program and is quite intense and will offer a great deal of information in a quite less amount of time. If you're focused in your work then all will be fine. The intructors could have offered great feedback, I found it missing in the course. Rest all was good. I got the job after the course which was a relief.

What I would highlight:
This was a huge investment for me, and so I researched as much as I could into this school (which was challenging because at the time, the Toronto location was finishing up its first cohort, but still managed to talk to who I could/reviews of the Vancouver campus). I talked to the Admissions team and they were very quick and clear in taking the time to answer my questions and concerns. I was pretty impressed with this and felt like it was mutually a good fit. As soon as I sent my money though, it all changed. I didn't hear anything from them until the week before classes were to start.
My overall experience was disappointing...a lot of promises were simply not delivered. The school is very disorganized and therefore a lot of things were done very unprofessionally (if at all).
It was initially advertised that they guarantee a 7:1 student to instructor ratio. I was in the UX Professional class, with 17 of us in my cohort, we had one main instructor. It's interesting to note that this promise has since disappeared off their website. The classes were very much all over the place by the end of the term, the schedules were not followed, things in the curriculum were never taught (it says on the website that Omnigraffle was part of it, it was never even mentioned). Software licenses were supposed to be set up prior to the start of the course, but were not and one of the students had to take it upon themselves to do this.
A large reason why RED was such a poor experience was because of how unprofessionally the institution was run and managed.

The course is pretty much organised and structured, it's ideal for a fast paced envionment. You get to meet people from different background, and they're always willing to help in multiple ways. The learning process is really great as it follows the systematic implementation. It all radiate a good energy vibes and that's the best part of all.
