UX Design Course Brainstation
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the UX Design course offered at Brainstation. The instructors were incredibly knowledgable and also approachable. They were always willing to help the students and listen to their questions and needs. I recommend this course for anyone interested in learning the foundations of UX Design. -
Shivam Jangra
Amazing experience
The course was thorough and the instructors were brilliant in their teachings. They shared how things work in a real-life PM job.
It would be better if there was more assistance from BrainStation on the job hunt process or connecting to the hiring partners. -
Henry Duong
informative, practical but relatively heavy
I had a good experience with the Digital Marketing course. The instructors are nice and dedicated. The lessons are practical, helpful and informative. However, there's a lot of information to digest in 3 hours so it felt a little overwhelming at times. If you take time reviewing the materials, you will develop good knowledge for digital marketing. -

I enjoyed my instructors Carla and Josh, very informative and fun way of learning. Having taken another marketing course now elsewhere I learned new things and have grasped the concepts very well. Brain station overall was very supportive with our learning. -

Great networking experience
I very much enjoyed this course. It was a pleasure to look forward to each week. Tho e content was approachable and extremely well explained by my instructors. I feel as though the job assistance area could use work however. Perhaps more connections to hiring partners. -

Great Experience

It was a great 8 weeks. Andrea is amazing instructor and I love how she brings her own professional experience often. This helps understand the material better. I wish it was a little longer and a bit more in-depth. It felt like we were flying through some classes and had to cut short some amazing conversations and debates we had. Maybe 10 weeks length worked better? But overall great experience and I'm glad I was able to do it in person. -

BrainStation - Product Management
The Product Management course was great, the instructors were very knowledgeable and shared with us real-life experiences that enriched the course content. I will certainly continue taking more courses at BrainStation. -
Anna Gomez Perez
Product Management at Brainstation
This was a great experience for me! As someone without a tech background I was able to learn the key aspects of a product management role and explore what a career in tech would look like.
The teachers were amazing and I was able to trully learn about product management from their real-life experience examples. -

Social Media Marketing Course Brainstation
Read more Read less of Dejah S Smith's review
This marketing course was very interesting to take. The material was easy to understand so much so that I felt like I knew most of it with some basic google searching. If I had to break it down 60% I knew about social media and 40% I did not. While this is true I think it helps with myself to know that the research I was looking up was true. What I like is the accelerated course aspect. I learned material in a month that would probably take a whole college semester which I believe is about 4 months. I learned not only from the teachers but from my fellow students. -
Mo Wang
I love the flexible pace online study, the content is hands-on and the instructors are helpful with industrial experience and knowledge.
I really enjoyed this UX Design program, it has a great balance between theoretical knowledge and practical techniques. The instructors Andrew and Bardia are responsive, responsible and constructive. Will definitely recommend to people who are interested in UX Design. -
Robert Huang
Super engaging course!
I really enjoyed spending time with Andrew and Bardia as they were able very clearly explain the UX course. The courses materials and resources provided were really helpful and I have already recommended this course for others as a result! -

A great first step into web development
Read more Read less of Jesse Cameron's review
The online web development course at BrainStation was a great way to start my education in this field of study. The educators took their time to explain the essential concepts of web development and also made time to help anyone that needed more help. The interactive aspect was great as it helped me to address anything I didn't understand right away and avoid any confusion and frustration. I also enjoyed the ability to attend class from the comfort of my own home. It was very convenient. I took away many things from this course that has helped me to be more confident in my coding. It was a great experience overall. I recommend checking out BrainStation's many course options if you are thinking of learning web development, etc. -

Amazing educators
Read more Read less of Lena's review
I was a slow learner and truly thought I couldn’t make it through. But the educators were amazingly encouraging and sweet and helpful! I was at some point feeling discouraged because of the grades but they told me they would help me with anything I I need to revise (Keep pushing!!!!!) and I push and my baby capstone came out just like that (woo!) Highly recommend it if you are looking for encouraging friendly educators. Don't worry if you are a slow learner, you will survive in this UX program if you choose BrainStation. -
Samira Jahangiri
very well experienced instructors.
I like how confident, humble, and patient our instructors are. They outsource from most updated documentations. Exercises are pretty practical and diverse that anyone from different walks of life can have their own take homes and apply it to their jobs. -
Anna Bilan
Great foundational Course
The Brainstation is a great foundation to be introduced to the topic or to entrepreneurs. Covers all topics from SEO to social media. Good for people who never worked in marketing. DO not take this course if you are already working in the field. I like the brainstation vibe overall. Great learning opportunity. -

Awesome experience
Read more Read less of Callum H's review
This bootcamp was extremely enjoyable, tough and rewarding.
What was it like?
Lots of lessons, advice, coaching and support. We were assigned a LOT of work and we were each pushed to our individual limits – our teachers were determined to get the most out of us. But we were motivated, due to the camaraderie and support.
At the start of the course, I thought I would fail because I wouldn't be able to work hard enough. But I was given lots of support, and the environment was perfect for motivation, and I found that I WAS able to work hard enough.
Our teachers were top-level. One of our teachers had the greatest teaching skill I've ever known. Another had extremely high-performing career experience and was full of essential career, performance, technical and life advice. We learnt not just data science techniques, or industry best-practice, but industry top-level practice and how to organise our lives better.
Overall, due to the structure and people, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I am now moving into ML engineering and this course brought be up to the right level, covering everything I need. -
Jan Altmann
Great insights
It's a great way to get introduced to Product Management. If you have been working with Product Managers as a technical, creative or sales person, but wondered what is it that they actually do. In this course you can gain great knowledge of the skill set, tools and "how to" of Product Managers. -
Beth Truman
Great introduction to data analytics
Read more Read less of Beth Truman's review
This course was a really good first step into data analytics, covering advanced Excel, beginner SQL, and Tableau. The instructor and TA were great at conveying concepts and were patient in answering questions. Homework assignments were good practice for getting more comfortable with the material, and we always went over the answers in the following class. This one course isn't enough to prepare you for a data analytics career, but it is a really solid first step. Would recommend! -

Good starting point, great environment
It was a great experience taking Data Analytic course in Brainstation and improving my SQL skill. However, I would improve the content. There are some slides in the content that are not much helpful. Instead, I would devote the time to practice in class. -

Exciting, challenging and fast-paced

The class was definitely fast paced but I learned so much!! I was able to utilize the lessons for my business and it's been game changer! I loved how the professors took their time to teach lesson and make sure we understood everything. The class support was definitely there and I really liked how everyone cheered for each other during our final presentations. I do wish there was more time to do resume building and I wish Brainstation gave us a list of jobs that were hiring to make the job search easier for the students. -

I took a Product management in-person course. I loved it. It is worth every penny. The instructors are very experienced. They shared a lot of material besides the school slides they shared stories of their own experience. Each class was engaging and effective. I'm planning to sign up for another PM course with BrainStation. Also, customer service is at a very high level. No complaints and no regrets. -

Product Leadership Course - Great New Course @ BrainStation!
Read more Read less of Vesa Mikkola's review
I took the new Product Leadership Course at BrainStation recently. This course was designed for people who are looking to become Product leaders in their organizations, and the reason I took it was to become a better partner to my Product colleagues. The course featured a lot of interesting topics as it pertains to Product, but also focused on areas that I feel aren't well addressed in other Product course such as how to become a great leader, how to manage people, how to create and stick to a product vision etc. I found the instructors to be great, knowledgeable, and charismatic. They kept my attention throughout the course, and I particularly enjoyed the group work exercises throughout the class. If you're looking for a course to improve your knowledge about how to become a Product leader, this might be the course for you! -

Great Experience

My experience with Brainstation was very positive. The material was advanced and up-to-date and the instructor was knowledgeable and clear. The digital tools they provided were good - the virtual classroom with all of the slides was accessible and clear. the online learning environment never worked so we used zoom for each class. I would consider taking another class with them. -
Michael Nguyen
Great in-person UX Bootcamp!
Read more Read less of Michael Nguyen's review
I recently just graduated from the in-person UX bootcamp and overall it was a great experience. If you do the in-person bootcamp be forewarned, it is ALOT of work. This is due to the projects so a lot of work outside of the bootcamp and weekends are extremely busy putting together things for deadlines. Don't expect too much free time. I would say week 4/5-10 are the busiest. The best things about the experience: instructors have worked in the industry so there is a lot to learn from them. In-person allows you to have a great starting network of UX designers. The content very comprehensive, I felt like we touched on everything possible about UX and had plenty of projects to apply what we are learning. Brainstation seems like a very well oiled machine and the other nice thing is the post-bootcamp career help is very comprehensive. Throughout the bootcamp they build up your resume and Linkedin presence and they have a strong plan after the boot camp to assist in career search. There are areas of improvement though: there were definitely days where there are a lot of "open studio" to work on our submissions to the point where it doesn't feel like we should be forced to go into class. Attendance is important but the way it is measured is a bit silly. Open studio starting at 11am sometimes but you are not allowed to leave until 330 or you will be docked half day absent. There is a 90% requirement of attendance which is a tad high. I feel like attendance should be a bit more flexible on open studio as people work best in different environments. Days where I want to be collaborative/ask questions, I will stay in class but other days I need to focus in a quiet environment and it seems like a waste of time to stay in class for the sake of attendance when all I'm trying to do is put in the work. Also life continues and it would be nice to use some open studio time to catch up on appointments and things without having to inform Brainstation. Lectures should be mandatory but open studio should be OPEN. There were also times where schedules would change on the day of, which makes things difficult to plan ahead for the week. It would be nice if schedules were finalized at the start of the week. Overall, I'm glad I took the bootcamp and I think it sets up up for success in your new career! -

My Digital Marketing Course Experience

I am an entrepreneur, and understanding the basics of Digital Marketing was ideal for me. I didn't know I was going to go beyond that with this course at Brainstation. This course surpassed all of my expectations and I delivered a full report at the end of the course demonstrating my abilities to take on this job full-time if I wanted to. I am grateful for the opportunity and the talented instructors helping and guiding us along the way. -

Great way to understand the core tools and principles of data analytics
Read more Read less of Maddie Field's review
This course was a great way to learn more about the principles of data analytics and more importantly the tools and software used by professionals in the industry today. Especially valuable was access to Tableau since there isn't a free equivalent for you to gain experience with elsewhere (as opposed to excel/Google sheets). I was really impressed by the instructors for their ability to tie back our assignments and learnings to real world examples from their day to day work in data analytics roles.
The only thing I would have liked to see more of is independent course work to supplement the in class sessions. There isn't the opportunity to get real time feedback on your learning progress outside of the instructors, and it would be nice to revisit some fundamentals you learn in class with additional practice questions. -

Challenging but worth it

UX Design Bootcamp at BrainStation was one of the best academic as well as professional training experience of my life. I learned a lot at in-person cohort both related to cultural and environmental adjustment as a new immigrant as well as how to start my career in Canada. All the staff is super nice and educators are experienced and brilliant. It will be great to have some prior knowledge and self practice in the field before starting the program as it is fast-paced, competitive and intense. It was worth every second and every penny. -

Much better than I expected
Read more Read less of James Kwok's review
I chose BrainStation over other programs because the campus was a convenient location for me. As the course went on, the curriculum surprised me with how rich and practical the content was. My background is in UX/UI design, and I was looking to pivot into software development roles. After 12 weeks, I am confident about my abilities to build full-stack web applications. The most important skill I practiced at BrainStation wasn't about coding but the ability to learn a new concept quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a career transition or upskill. -

Double my Salary
I was earning less than six figures before this course. This course gave me a crash course and all the knowledge to understand how the fundamentals of Project/ Product Management. I am happy to take so many skills and knowledge into my company. After taking these courses I was able to get a promotion and my hard work paid off. Education is essential for progress in your own field. -

Greatest Bootcamp Experience Ever!

I loved my time at BrainStation! My instructors (Nate and Wesley) were super welcoming and always available to help. They were super knowledgeable so it was extremely easy to learn from them. I've already started putting my new data analytics skills to use. I absolutely love how alumni still have access to learning materials for up to 6 months after graduating, it makes it so easy to look back and refresh! -

I thoroughly enjoyed taking the UX Design Certificate course at BrainStation. This course is great for those who are interested in exploring the subject as it provides you with an understanding of the many sub-fields of UX Design. The process of completing your project also helps you gain an understanding of the sort of tasks UX Designers do in their careers. The insights you gather from taking the course and completing your project can guide you in your career. I am very grateful to have had this learning experience as it helped me develop more critical thinking skills that have aided me in problem solving. I would like to thank my knowledgeable and supportive instructors as well as the BrainStation team for delivering such a valuable course. -

As someone who has just moved to Canada,I left my old career and the BrainStation family added great value to me on this journey I embarked on with the hope of starting a new career in a new country and in a new language. Fantastically engaging and informative lessons, with a great blend of interaction and lectures to gain a vast amount of knowledge in a short period of time. There was constant support and help throughout from class mates and instructors to make it feel like one big community. The course content is easy to follow along and the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and skilled at guiding us through the course. It was a lot of material to cover and it only brushes on some topics but I understood it was never meant to be in-depth, which was great for me because it gave me enough grit to get it started and seek out more knowledge on my own. I definitely recommend this course! -

Intensive Hands-On Learning

I signed up for this course after completing the Coursera Google UX Certificate online. At the time, I knew I had to continue to develop my skills, but wasn't sure exactly which direction to go. BrainStation provided a structure that strengthened design thinking, enabled collaboration, and pushed students to the next level. I won't lie - this program is intensive - but that's a good thing. Over 12 weeks, my abilities have blossomed with the help of fantastic educators - who all have real industry experience that made lessons engaging and relevant. I would recommend this program to beginner UX designers who are looking to take their career change seriously. I cannot comment on the job assistance portion as I have only just finished the bootcamp, but I feel confident moving forward with the career support network that BrainStation provides to graduates.
