I recently took a data analytics course, and overall, I found it to be a valuable learning experience. The course covered a broad range of topics related to data analytics, including data collection and preparation, statistical analysis, and data visualization.The instructors were knowledgeable and experienced in the field, and they provided clear and concise explanations of the concepts covered in the course. They also provided practical examples and real-world case studies to help illustrate the application of these concepts.

great educators, great coursemates!

I took the Jan 2023 course in data science in-person, firstly, I really did enjoy the program it was challenging and the set up was intense, but the educators make it so that they are checking in with you and whilst they won't hold your hand they will help point you in the right direction. I learnt a lot in a small amount of time, but the quality of the education, plus the morale boosting of the other students really made this an unforgettable 12 weeks. If you can do the bootcamp in person, please.. do! It really changed things for me. Thanks to the education team for a great structure and rhythm to the course. -

Informative; great content; great facilitator

Hi. Having no prior knowledge in cybersecurity, I found your Cybersecurity course to be extremally informative, having great content and easily digestible in the way it was facilitated. The instructor (Sachin Kalra) did an amazing job in breaking down the content and providing real-world examples, via case study activities. With no prior cybersecurity knowledge, I now have a better understanding of how cybersecurity works; how I can protect myself online; and how companies should protect my data. I recommend this course. Thank you, Dorretha -

I recently completed an in-person UX Design course at BrainStation, which I found to be a highly informative, engaging, and comprehensive crash course. The classroom atmosphere was excellent, and the instructors encouraged participation and peer review of ideas and assignments.
The experience was invaluable as I aim to advance my career in the tech industry. I highly recommend BrainStation to anyone seeking to improve their skills and expertise in the field. -
Jorge Marquez
BrainStation - Data Analytics Course
I completed the 10-week analytics course. This would be an excellent course for someone that has a grasp on excel and wants to dive into visualization and start learning SQL. The instructors were amazing, and you could tell they have a passion for what they do and want to share their knowledge. Due to timing I was not able to attend any of the Networking events but they do a lot of them.

I recently completed Brainstation's digital marketing bootcamp and loved it. The program was 10 weeks long, meeting every Wednesday evening for 3 hours of class. The bootcamp covered a breadth of topics within marketing and culminated with a final project. My favorite part of the bootcamp was that our 2 instructors really took the time to ensure we understood the topics, and even offered specialized guidance and advice when we asked for it. They really took their time to answer all questions and didn't rush the lectures just for the sake of it. -

Dont waste your time and money

I recently took a course from Brainstation Institute and was very disappointed with my experience. The material was presented in a disorganized manner and did not effectively cover the topics advertised. I strongly believe that this course not worth $2800. They only reviewed what I had learned from w3schools (a free website). Long story short, I learned up to 10 SQL statement in this class.
When I started my course, the tuition was about $2200 for the course I took (cus they told me that I have received a scholarship). I used an installment plan to afford the fee. Recently, I have received an email and for some reason they noticed that I have to pay $2800 (the original amount fee). I am still paying the fee, and I suffer every time I transfer money to them. Because I am paying money for nothing. They should pay back the money because they literally wasted my time.
I am not asking readers to stop taking course there, but I highly recommend that do your research and find a nice institute to take data-related courses. I recently took a course somewhere else, in Vancouver, for $750 and am so happy with this.
While I appreciate the effort put into the course, I believe there is significant room for improvement.
Overall, I cannot recommend this institute based on my experience with this course. -

Up your data-driven decision-making game

I recently completed the Data Analytics course at Brainstation in Miami, and it was a great introduction to understanding how data is retrieved, examined, and used to make decisions. The instructors were real professionals in the field and were able to add real-world examples to the course content. We covered advanced Excel, SQL, MySQL, and Tableau, and I was able to gain some useful context as to the purposes that all of these tools serve in my organization. As a primarily qualitative UX Researcher, this course gave me a really solid foundation on which I can build my quantitative skillset further. The workload of the course was reasonable for the time frame, and there were plenty of extra opportunities provided to practice the skills covered in class. The final project gave us the opportunity to follow the data analysis process from start to finish and draw conclusions on any topic of our choice. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the course, and I would recommend it to anyone with zero to beginner-level data analytics skills. -

It was eye opening

I've worked with UX Designers for several years before taking this course, and was always in awe of the magic they weave to create delightful experiences. However, in 2020, I started to manage UX Designers for the first time in my career, and found myself severely lacking in the skills and knowledge required to support them and their career growth. This course helped me to understand, and better appreciate their methods. Which, in turn helps me to be a better thought partner with them, better represent them in annual performance reviews, and support them during promotion reviews. -

AMAZING Product Management Course
Read more Read less of Tiffany Medina's review
The Product Management course is carefully thought out teaching you every step from what is a product manager, the product manager's roles, from research all the way to analytics. Not only does this teach the fundamentals of product management but the instructors share tips and tools they use in their own practices to implement. In my class we had people who have not done product at all all the way up to people who have been in product for 2 years and everyone took away something useful. -
Richard Shrestha
Thoughtful, Informative, and Interactive
I really enjoyed my experience taking Product Management at BrainStation! Jared Arrington and Rina Fufaeva were great instructors and so helpful in terms of creating a welcoming and interactive learning environment. My classmates were exceptionally nice and engaged. The facility was also super modern. Would definitely consider taking a course again at BrainStation in the future. -

I had a positive experience with BrainStation's UI course. The program taught me essential skills in UI design and development, covering topics such as typography, color theory, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing. I had two great instructors and who were highly qualified professionals with extensive experience in the field, providing students with valuable insights and mentorship. Great class! -

Great introduction to UX Design!
Read more Read less of Shania Fernandez's review
I recently completed the UX Design course at BrainStation and had a great experience. The instructors, Veronica and Samantha, were very knowledgeable and always ready to answer questions + lend a helping hand. The eight weeks flew by quickly and I appreciated the interactive elements of the class and how they each focused on a different step in the UX design process.
By the end of the eight weeks, I had brainstormed an idea, done research via interviews, wireframed, and built out a prototype in figma. I think there's room to go a bit deeper into some of the different topics but for an eight week program, there was a lot of valuable and actionable information provided. I'm glad I got to take this course! -

Strong and organised learning method for a short course
Read more Read less of Andre Mattiuzzi's review
I took the Data Science course with focus on programming with Python and, from the start I found interesting the way Brainstation had everything well organised even before the course started. There's a lot of information and preparation material available online. The staff and instructors are always very helpful and enthusiastic about our learning process, with easy communication in and out of the classroom.
About the itself, I found it fast-paced for someone who didn't know a line of Python and only basic concepts about Data Science. There's just so much we can go through over 7 or 8 weeks and although there are some things that weren't covered in the classroom and a lot to be done after the course's over, I can say now I know the building blocks of Python and Data Science so I can build up on. -

The course was great and informative and beside the course itself, Brain Station provide lots of events that let you to connect with industry leads which is a great networking experience.
It gives you opportunities of networking not only related to the course you’ve applied for but also other area of interest.
In general, there was a great experience, specially for people who are looking for career change. -

I recently had the pleasure of attending this school, and I can confidently say that it exceeded my expectations. From the moment I stepped onto campus, I was impressed by the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The faculty and staff were incredibly supportive and went above and beyond to ensure that I had everything I needed to succeed.
But what really sets BrainStation apart is the quality of the education. The instructors are experts in their fields and are truly passionate about teaching. They challenged me to think critically and creatively and provided me with the skills and knowledge I needed to excel in my career.
Overall, I would highly recommend BrainStation to anyone looking for a top-quality education in a supportive and welcoming environment. Whether you are just starting out on your journey or are looking to further your career. -

Great course!
It was a great course. I really enjoyed learning about UX Design and meeting other people with similar interests. It is definitely a really fast paced and dynamic experience. The tutors are experts in their field so they had insightful examples to share with us. There is plenty of support available, you just need to ask. -

Mariam Zoghbi
Great instructors and a great class
The 10-week data analytics class at Brain Station was a great resource in expanding my data analysis skill set. The class is taught by industry professionals that were able to provide real-world examples and explain use cases for what we were learning in class. The instructors are clearly experts and did a great job of breaking down complex data analysis tools into easy-to-digest content. -

Fun & Inspiring!
I really enjoyed my course at BrainStation (Data Analytics) - the instructors we approachable and offered their "real world" scenarios throughout the semester. Immensely helpful during the final project phase as they were alway readily available via slack. -
Erin Essex
Wish I did it sooner
The Data Analytics class helped me better understand how data is queried. I now can query my own data at work, have more meaningful concerstaions with my developers, and build amazing visualizations to help tell a story. -
Harsh Patankar
Amazing!
I love the experience. The profs were all very understanding and knowledgeable, and I learned a lot. My favourite part was being able to learn in person and create a network with other likeminded individuals. -
Divia M Mohanlal
A Wholesome Experience
I didn't realise when I first got into this course, that there would be so much I would gain from it. The tutors were awesome and had a great way of teaching that you don't realise the information actually stays with you. I found the experience refreshing and so rewarding. With so many new skills learnt from the UX Design course, I feel it has helped prepare me for the future. -

Review of Digital Marketing Course at BrainStation
My favorite part of this course was the real-world examples given by the instructors. It really helped create context for the lessons so I could learn not just the theory but the application. -
Camerin M Jordan
Digital Marketing BootCamp
This was a great class! The only feedback I would give is to have more hands-on experience with the software with the instructors or in an actually signed up and signed into account. I am hoping that after the class we are able to have help with job placement! -
Cody Burley
Good bootcamp, tough market
I graduated BrainStation's bootcamp in September 2022 and felt I was taught enough to teach myself the remaining fundamentals of front end web development. The 12 week window was too short to fit a true full stack bootcamp and backend suffered due to that. However, I did gain the skills to figure out the missing pieces post bootcamp. -
Curtis Knecht
Brainstation UX Certification Course
This in-person course was the perfect way to gain additional information and insight to expand my UX knowledge. The instructors were extremely patient and helpful with the class truly understanding the material. -
Robert McKeown
Sweeping, Energetic, Open-Minded,
The course involved a lot of material. However, it would have helped me to have a syllabus with optional readings of books, articles, and such that would allow me to get even deeper to the subject. I also have not had much of a sense of networking/job advisory that I thought would be a part of this. But the teachers did a very good job of presenting the material in context. -
Una Mladenovic
Digital Marketing Class
This is a good class for someone who is entering the world of digital marketing. It covers all of the basics including: research, content, SEO, GA, email marketing, social media, etc. I recommend it to people who need foundational knowledge in digital marketing. -

I took the UX Course (not bootcamp)
This was a great 8-week condensed course that walks you through the principles and processes of User Experience Design.
I had an existing understanding of UX and was hoping to round out some of my hard skills. This is not required but I felt that some familiarity with the content was helpful in getting the most out of the experience!
Being familiar with Figma at a high-level is also helpful - they teach you a bit but there is so much you can do with the app, so knowing that before you start will help you be more nimble and work quickly.
If you take this course I would recommend completing some of the strategy submission and final project every week, rather than leaving it all to the end because it's a lot of work!
It was great to do this course in person - the instructors were super engaging and my classmates were awesome and supportive. Definitely recommend the in-person experience if possible.
Overall glad I took this course and am hoping to work in UX in the future! -

Digital Marketing Review
The course was packed with tons of information and resources for each section. Both instructors have a lot of work experience and it shows in their examples, and the way they teach. I really enjoyed the course and would be willing to enroll in another, in the future. The final project was beneficial to my job, so that was useful and a nice way to show off the skills learned.
