    Loved my course!

    I took the Search Engine Marketing course a year ago and I really enjoyed the content! Our instructor made a point to support every student individually despite his busy work schedule. The final project was more work than I expected - so I suggest getting started as soon as you can.

    UX Designer · User Experience Design Bootcamp · Graduated 2022

    Starting my first UX role a week after my graduation!

    Antonello and Taylor are incredible educators and their attention to students is second to none. For those coming from non-designers backgrounds (which is majority of the students). The educators spend a lot go 1-on-1 time ensuring each student is developing their skills and confidence. Their industry knowledge and understanding of platforms is valuable and provides students with confidence that when completing the course students will be using the very latest design tools.

    The bootcamp is a very intense process and requires you to work throughout the weekend. But is totally worth it for the projects that you can reflect on by the end.

    100% would recommend for those looking to break into design with some incredible career support afterwards.

    Challenging but helpful

    I enjoyed the community, and the teaching was able to get me to a good level of knowledge after such as short time. I feel far more confident going into the industry, as I have learned what the differences are such as not using Jupiter notebooks

    Great Experience, Would Recommend

    Intense, loads of content covered, good projects to get hands on with data science and the methods being taught. 
    Easily one of the best career moves I've done to add hard skills to my skillset. I did this bootcamp as a career change into technical data science, and I think this has set me up well to do so. The education team is great and very knowledgeable, both from a content point of view and also in terms of their own careers and backgrounds into data science. 

    Great experience, and can definitely recommend for any one looking to start a career in data science and machine learning.

    Great material, amazing instructors

    Very intense and very useful. Amazing instructors and support and the material was very good. I thought that the job assistance was good and complete, although I would have liked for the speed interviews to incnlude more companies for Data Science (there were only two companies) and more contact with companies hiring Data Scientists in general.

    I absolutely loved this course and loved the 2 instructors - Alex and Carmiel. I learnt a lot and had fun throughout the 7 weeks. I wish the class was 10-weeks, I wanted it keep learning from the teachers and hear more from their personal career experiences. Thank you BrainStation, Alex and Carmiel!

    Fun and Educational Program

    I just completed the 10 Week - UX Design Certification course with Brainstation. I had a wonderful experience! I met like minded humans from all over the world and had inspiring instructors who are currently in the field and were kind and helpful along the way. I do recommend to gain some Figma knowledge prior to attending this course. I entered the program as a beginner to Figma and so much for your work will be conducted on that platform. Don't get me wrong, I've learned so much about Figma in my class, but I know it would've been easier if I had some prior usage experience.

    Product Management Course

    Overall a good introductory course on product management. I found the material very basic and introductory. A cursory google search on each topic would have surfaced more information. The teacher was great and extremely knowledgeable, but the material was bad. You also don't even get to keep the material.  Not recommended for anyone with any amount of previous product management knowledge.

    Transformative career change though rigorous and in-depth content, preparing you for the industry.

    My time at BrainStation has been very transformative to say the least. The entire course goes very in-depth into all different aspects of web development and more; Content you learn is then applied to amazing projects that are very challenging. My instructor for web-development were Anvit and Jim, they were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The course materials were clear and concise. Although they say the boot camp requires zero knowledge before starting, I'd highly recommend looking at some basic html, css & javascript tutorials on youtube before starting. Learn the fundamentals before starting is vital because once you fall behind in the actual program it's very difficult to get back on track.  All round, I'd recommend anyone that's willing to put in the hard work to become a developer to take this bootcamp!

    Excellent Certificate Course in UX Design

    Challenging, enjoyable but excellent course at Brainstation. At the half way point but really enjoying this course. Really well organised & very good support with excellent tutor. I would love to continue studying once completed and do the bootcamp which I am sure would be a brilliant course to do where you would carry out several projects. I would recommend for anyone wanting to learn UX for the first time or wanting to enhance their digital skills.

    Having taken the Product Management course with Brainstation, I was able to scale up my skills. I learnt end to end lifecycle of product Management which made me reflect into everyday work I do as a specialist and also made me aware of opportunities within the tech sector where I could use my new acquired skills. If you are trying to scale up your skills, Braintstation is a great place to be at. The instructors are very knowledgable and patient and will answer your each and every query with relevant industry example.

    Great content, excellent delivery.

     The Product Management course at BrainStation was great.  The instructors were senior level Product Managers who had a mastery of Product Management topics.  They kept the course engaging with group sessions and videos throughout.  I have a much better understanding of the role a Product Manager plays, and how varied it can be for each organization.  I definitely recommend this course to others interested in pivoting to Product Management roles.

    Front-End Developer · Full-Time Web Development Bootcamp Online · Graduated 2022

    Highly Recommend

    I spent a lot of time browsing different schools on course report weighing the pros and cons of different bootcamps before I ended up choosing BrainStation based on all the positive reviews and more importantly the vast amounts of graduates that ended up in big name companies. Even then I wasn't sure I had made the right decision but I am so glad I chose BrainStation. 

    The main instructor for the course, Daniil, was really good at explaining some of the more difficult concepts in simpler terms which was extremely helpful for us to grasp the ideas. We also worked with a couple other instructors (Michael Dismatsek and Andrew Carolan) who both had different and unique approaches in helping us pick up techniques and concepts as well. We were even able to experience working on real projects with people in cross-disciplines which is something I didn't even know I needed till I had experienced it. 

    The course is very fast paced and challenging but I honestly can say they provide all the means to help you achieve success if you put in the work and effort. I feel confident saying this being one month out of the bootcamp and having landed a position as a web developer. I definitely feel a little bit lucky but also going through the interview process I realize that each part of the bootcamp had prepared me with experience and the knowledge that was being asked of me. Also a final thing that I must mention is that the career service after the bootcamp is really invaluable. They are serious when they say the bootcamp doesn't just end and you're on your own. The career services after the bootcamp is a serious selling point on top of the bootcamp as well.
