Great Learning Experience
Great curriculum, very well explained and practical class. Enjoyed the classroom exercises that allowed us to create real life projects. The instructors have a strong industry background from both startup and large corporations which allows us to have several perspectives. -

Great, modern course

Really enjoyed this 8 week certificate course on Product Management. The instructors are extremely engaging and get the class really involved in discussions. They have extensive industry experience, which is important especially in Product Management, where the rules vary from industry to industry. The coursework itself is kept well up to date and is very project oriented rather than test oriented, which I appreciated. The facility is modern and centrally located in Wynwood. Easy to get in and out of with the badging system and has a nearby secure parking garage. -

Awesome intro to Marketing
Such a great experience being in this class. I had so much fun learning, marketing basics, and I’m excited to take what I’ve learned into my current and future roles. The final project was a great opportunity to learn a more hands on approach of a marketing campaign. -

Hello Everybody I will be sharing my experience about the course.
I started with zero knowledge, I feel grateful I went through the program because I got to learn many different tools like excel, SQL, Tableau, Kaggle to a enough level to get things done on small projects
The best way to take advantage of the course will be put into practice the concepts taught on class dedicating some time beyond the classroom, so plan on putting extra hours outside of class to make the most of it
The fact they have 2 tutors during the class was great that way one was able to work on the assigment and the other to give guidance to those that have questions. -
Scott Frank
Solid Course
Course provided a great overview of SQL but I would have liked this course at a faster pace. For example, I feel like the 3 hour course could be condensed down into 2 with the last hour being optional if additional assistance is wanted -

Thank you for the meticulous curriculum and delivery methods! It was a truly amazing learning experience where best practices met hands-on practice, creating an effective learning environment. I highly recommend it to everyone interested in the software field who wants to grow in full-stack web development, with all the guidance needed to stay on the right track throughout the entire process! -

Supportive and Comprehensive Bootcamp Experience

I just graduated from a software engineering bootcamp, and it was a great experience. The TAs were incredibly helpful, and the instructors were mostly competent and encouraging. The curriculum was broad and well-structured, allowing us to build a complete portfolio by the end. The bootcamp also provided strong career support and networking opportunities.
The bootcamp fostered a friendly and collaborative environment among students, where everyone was eager to learn and help each other out.
My advice: have some foundational knowledge before starting, as the pace can be intense. Don’t be afraid to ask your instructors, TAs, and even your classmates for help.
Overall, I’m truly grateful for this journey—it allowed me to absorb a vast amount of knowledge in a short period, and I met so many interesting and inspiring people. -

Awesome Python Course for Beginners!
Read more Read less of Garrett Ard's review
I recently completed a five week Python course that shown to be a very helpful experience on my coding journey. The course was led by two DS industry professionals and was designed to optimize learning within five 3.5 hour lectures over five weeks while accommodating varying levels of prior experience with programming. The two instructors brought a lot of experience and knowledge to the course. Their teaching styles also complemented each other, which made for five interesting sessions over the course. One instructor focused on ensuring the class had the time within the courses to ask questions to clarify understanding while the other was really good at pointing to the must-know points within the topics covered. Both were approachable and responsive which ensured the class felt they can ask questions and receive a timely response.
The curriculum covered a range of Python topics, from basics, to more advanced data types, manipulating data, and even fundamentals of algorithms. The course also shows to set up and an environment to actually write and run your code using a Jupyter Notebook. We also had access to a variety of BrainStation resources to assist learning and career coaching services. The instructors also were awesome at providing external resources that are must-know sites to assist in understanding the Python libraries; very important in Data Science. This course definitely exceeded my expectations and I recommend enrolling if you need a foundational Python course to set you on your way in your coding journey! -

Good introduction to Product Management
Read more Read less of Juan G's review
I would recommend the course to anyone who wants to learn the fundamentals of what a PM does and how to do it. If you come from a tech background (e.g. Software Engineer, UI/UX, etc), then portions of the content will not be new. Good opportunity to network in you do it in person. Also, if you have a software business idea you have not taken the first step in then I would recommend taking this course. There was some disconnect with the curriculum. -

Bootcamp experience

it was a mind-blowing experience. Came in knowing nothing but feel am ready for Cyber. the educators were very supportive, even when classwork seemed hard they worked you through it all. I loved the one-on-one sessions with my instructors being new to the field. the weekly projects made me feel that it was my effort , we had reviews on every project we did. And all in all the job advisor is my overall best because they hold you accountable. overall I feel at the end of the day, there is value for your time, money and effort put in. Thanks BrainStation team -
Kate Van Egmond
Fast paced and full throttle
This was a whirlwind experience but I’m so grateful for all I have learned. Definitely not for the faint of heart, you will not have any free time. But if you are willing to fully commit to the process you will come out on the other side with a wealth of new knowledge, ready to take the next step in your career. -

Spent 12 weeks in BrainStation for software discipline, courses are worth to take, educators and TA are really nice, good results also come from your own hardworks. Overall, I highly recommend BrainStation for anyone looking to break into the field of software development. The combination of a well-rounded curriculum, supportive educators, and a focus on hands-on learning creates an environment where you can truly thrive. It's an investment in your future that will pay off, provided you are willing to put in the effort. -

Amazing experience
Even though this course was really intense (I definitely cried multiple times) but I enjoyed every second of it! I loved learning and receiving feedback regularly because it definitely helped me become more confident in my skills and train my UX design eye. I really enjoyed my class atmosphere and everyone was so friendly from the other classes as well ;) -

"I am just two classes away from completing the data analytics course, and honestly, I couldn't be more saddened that it's coming to an end. My experience has been nothing short of enriching and comprehensive. The instructors are knowledgeable and engaging, providing real-life examples. As I transition from the mortgage banking industry into IT, I was initially apprehensive, but the supportive community in our classroom has given me the confidence to continue this journey. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to build a strong foundation in data analytics. Thank you, BrainStation!" -

Tough but great experience all round 5*
Read more Read less of Steven Milburn's review
rAll in all an incredible experience. Very tough at times, a number of my cohort from good educational backgrounds actually had to drop out, but the quality of the teaching, learning materials and the all-round experience was always next-level. Despite the intensity, given the 3 month course length there were certainly areas that would have been great to dive into in more detail but BrainStation probably struck just about the right balance in terms of content covered, depth and amount we were pushed as students given the time available. In the end A LOT of ground is covered in the time and there will always be plenty of links, challenges and learning materials shared that will keep you learning long after the course. Whilst there are other options out there which may be better given your circumstances (e.g uni courses which may offer more depth over a longer period of time), as far as the bootcamp formula goes you can't really fault BrainStation.
For me it's 5*s all round with the only exception being the job assistance but this is purely on the basis that I manage to sort a role through my own connections. The support was professionally run and particularly for people earlier on in their careers, the job assistance along with BrainStation's industry connections and the professional development resources available throughout the course would definitely be of real value.
Highly recommend although I would say get your maths, python and sql up to scratch before enrolling and certainly don't go into this lightly. It'll likely take over your life for 3 months but if you put the effort in you'll get a lot out of it. -

I am in love with Machine Learning and I have never thought that it is so interesting. I am very happy that I chose this bootcamp at Brainstation and I am very proud that I have such great results. The educators were very nice, helpful and always encouraged us. It is not an easy bootcamp, but if you really are passionate about programming, machine learning and visualizations, then it is definitely for you. -

Great support from the career's team!
Read more Read less of Kyle Kung's review
This review is for the post-bootcamp careers programme (which helped me land my first UX role within 4 months of job applying).I found the job searching experience to be very difficult especially during the recession, but throughout the 6 months, I received continued support from the careers team in helping identify how to network efficiently, creating a timetable that helped job hunting without feeling burnt out, and optimising every aspect of a job application. The careers team were always just a message away when I needed advice on the job app process – I had many 1-to-1 calls and mock interviews throughout to ensure I was on track and also gain confidence going into interviews. Although the support was always there, I want to preface that just like the bootcamp itself, the success of the programme is mainly down to your proactiveness to seek opportunities and how much effort and time you put into the job search. The careers team is mainly there to guide you towards the right direction and act as a soundboard for advice so I highly recommend making full use of it while job searching. -
Ed
Good
It's a great course. It pushed me to the wall to study Data Analytics since I was not very motivated to do so before the course yet here I am on a Wednesday morning going to practice analyzing data. The course is mainly a guide so don't expect it to teach you everything , you'll do most of the work. Anyways I loved the project work and wish we could do more. -

Excellent, Well-thought out, supportive

I've never had such a positive experience with such a technical and academic subject. Although the Bootcamp was intense, I felt like I was retaining information well (due to the structure) and I could apply that to the projects given to us. The fact the lectures were generally less than 2 hours and the hands on labs followed I really felt the information stick. The educators were all great at conveying new information and were all extremely supportive and available. PLUS having the Career Acceleration program gives us such a huge step up when applying to new jobs. -
Brian Alvarado
Best way to get started with Product Management
Read more Read less of Brian Alvarado's review
During my time taking this course, I learned and grasp what it is to be a product manager, the tasks and level of detail that needs to have is something I was not aware of. My instructors Jeff and Andrew made this class very fun to learn and interesting. They kept the class motivated and engaging throughout the weeks. They gave us valuable feedback about our project and what we could improve on, not just on the project but also presentation skills which is another big factor as a product manager!
If you want to know about job assistance, the professors are nice enough to give you feedback before or after class, i'd make sure to ask or make sometime to talk to them! -

UX Design Course

The course moves quickly, requiring dedicated study time after each class and for the final project. At the start, my classmates and I underestimated the scope of the final project, leading to a rushed finish. While you'll get an overview of Figma's basic functions, a deeper understanding will come from exploring YouTube tutorials.
The instructors are the highlight of the program, offering insightful knowledge, clear explanations, and valuable work experience sharing.
Don't miss the opportunity to connect with others at cocktail nights and coffee sessions – it's a chance to network and build relationships. -

Instructors are very knowledgeable and super helpful throughout the journey. -

Attending the bootcamp was extremely challenging but incredibly rewarding. The intense schedule and demanding sprints pushed me to my limits, yet it was this very difficulty that made the experience so fulfilling. The supportive team work among participants and the dedication of the instructors were instrumental in my completion of the program. Ultimately, the bootcamp equipped me with valuable skills and a deep sense of accomplishment. -
Chuck Nguyen
A solid experience overall
Pros:
- Teachers were very friendly and open to support
- Many technical skills were taught and many projects to practice
- Great staff who offer a lot of support
Cons:
The curriculum was a bit tight for a few technical stacks like NodeJs and Express, I think it'd be good to have more time into them
- The online classroom website wasn't good: low resolution, not able to zoom in to see the details -

I started this bootcamp knowing only a bit of HTML and CSS, but now I have a solid understanding of Git, GitHub, JavaScript, SCSS, Node.js, Express.js, Knex.js, and ReactJS. The instructors were awesome and really helped me grasp these new skills. The projects were hands-on and practical, which made learning fun and effective. Overall, a great experience that prepared me well for the job market. Highly recommend! -

Really enjoyed the overall experience and set up with learning. Great and supportive instructors that took me and my cohort through the super intense learning curve that is a bootcamp. Proud of myself by the end and feeling ready for the job market -
Alberto Leong
Pretty good overall
I really enjoyed the group learning experience and the constant feedback we got from peers and instructors. I wish we would have covered some topics more in depth and that we would've had a more structured career support curriculum. -

The experience was amazing. I had very little knowledge of the Digital scene of how everything worked behind the scenes. By attending this Digital Marketing course, it enabled me to see how companies optimise their advertisement techniques to get their products out there for a wide variety of audiences! Understanding the competition and how people depend on online information to run their daily lives, it is astonishing to see the different reasons to why people use the online space! Hence, as people rely on information that is online, it is important that the correct information is shown, as it is crucial to forming people's minds in how they think in terms of a certain topic.

I am about to complete a three-month Software Engineering Bootcamp at BrainStation and it has been an enriching journey.The overall experience was very positive. The instructors were knowledgeable and approachable, creating a supportive learning environment. The course was well-structured, featuring a variety of segments designed to facilitate efficient learning. Throughout the program, I engaged in several impactful projects, including collaborative team-based assignments, which were particularly beneficial. Coming from a background with limited coding knowledge, this course served as an excellent gateway to kickstart my career in software development. It was exactly what I needed to transition into the tech industry successfully. -

Super Pleased.

The experience and guidance i was provided at BrainStation provided me for the almost perfect transition with no tech experience. I landed my 1st job as a Software Developer with an awesome company less than 2 months after completing the course. I'll like to give a special thanks to instructors Matt Meyer and Jajuan Burton they are the absolute best. Matt Meyer and Jajuan Burton went above and beyond to help me from no code to being industry ready, from almost quitting to being profecient. -

UI Design at BrainStation (Online)
Overall great course. It was quick since it's only 8 weeks. The final project was open to whatever we wanted and it was a good way to apply everything we learned. It's a great starting point for those looking into getting into the field but it's just a starting point. I'm hoping to use my project as part of my portfolio and I hope to take more classes at BrainStation soon. -

BrainStation Online UX Bootcamp
Read more Read less of Aleksandr Semenov's review
I am a recent graduate from BrainStation online UX bootcamp which lasted 12 weeks. I have to say, this was quite an experience! I came in with almost no knowledge of UX design process besides some transferable skills from previous job and education and a Coursera course under my belt. In the first 2 weeks of the bootcamp we already completed our first project to get a taste for the UX field and what to expect. Afterwards we went deeper into learning. And our great educators were able to push us to create some incredible projects within the tight time constraints. Before this bootcamp, I never thought that I would be able to complete an entire UX project within 1 week, and another within just 24 hours! Overall, I am very happy with my experience at the bootcamp, especially the teachers who were incredibly helpful and good at what they do.
As an advice for people who are considering this bootcamp, please make sure to go through a simple online course before starting the bootcamp so that you know what you are getting into. This would make your bootcamp experience much easier and be certain that you are in the right place in terms of your interests. And, make sure that you would have lots of time to dedicate to this bootcamp during the 12 weeks. Because in terms of commitment, its a full-time job plus lots of homework! -
Karen Hendry
Incredible Experience!
I am so happy I made the leap and committed to the full-time UX Design bootcamp. I made a career change from Marketing to UX and feel I've been set-up for success. The program is intense but invaluable. I feel confident and well-prepared, thanks to the comprehensive training and support. For anyone considering a similar career change, I would highly recommend BrainStation!
