The curriculum was comprehensive, covering the latest trends and strategies in the dynamic world of social media. The hands-on approach to learning allowed me to immediately apply the concepts I was learning in a real-world context.
The instructors were outstanding, bringing a wealth of industry knowledge and practical insights to the classroom. Their passion for social media was evident, and they created a collaborative and engaging learning environment. They went above and beyond to ensure that each student grasped the concepts thoroughly and were ready to implement them in a professional setting.
What stood out the most for me was the emphasis on hands-on experience. The course wasn't just about theory; it was about actively working on projects, campaigns, and case studies that mirrored the challenges professionals face in the field. This practical aspect significantly enhanced my understanding and confidence in executing effective social media strategies.
I highly recommend BrainStation's Social Media Marketing course to anyone looking to gain a deep understanding of the subject, coupled with valuable hands-on experience. The course exceeded my expectations, and I feel well-equipped to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of social media marketing.

Before taking this class, I attended a demo day for UX design before committing to taking a course. The demo really helped me understand what to expect in the course. The course is packed with a lot of information and it goes by really fast. The instructors are industry professionals and have a wealth of knowledge. But, I will say that because there is a lot of information given and not enough time to practice in class, you have to make sure to practice what you learned on your own through out the week to get the most out of what your learning. The class moves pretty fast, each week is a new topic, so keep up, ask a lot of questions, and request to meet your instructors 1-on-1 if you need. Overall this course is a great investment, you wont learn everything there is to know about UX in 8 weeks but you will learn everything you need to know to get started on a portfolio. The course is basically a breakdown of how to complete one UX project step-by-step with feedback and support from the instructors. The instructors also provide a break down of the interview process and helpful resources (youtube videos, websites etc.)to help you get a job/learn more about UX design.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -
