    Really informative!

    I really enjoyed this course, I found that it gave me a really strong foundation in the most important tools I need to perform quality data analysis - the tools being excel, SQL and Tableau. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants an edge in data analysis!

    Data Analytics Course

    I really liked the course though felt that if more time would be spend on concepts and practice it could help us tackle real world situations, especially Tableau, being a very powerful visualization tool if we had more classes to go over techniques that would surely come in handy at our workplace

    Graduate · Social Media Marketing · Graduated 2023

    Good course but not enough focus on (organic) strategies and best practices

    In my opinion, this course spent too much time on paid content and demonstration of ad manager backends, and rushes through organic content and strategies. I wish there was more time spend on budgeting, and how to actually apply the concepts. It gives you real world examples but I wish there was some sort of homework given during the course with short feedback from the instructors, and more in class discussions or thought experiments during the lessons, so there would be a more practical learning component throughout the course and not just the final project. There is a lot of information and knowledge to gain in this course, but for me the in-class aspect unfortunately didn't add much to my learning experience.

    Ideal Bootcamp Experience

    This bootcamp exceeded my expectations. I am a recent graduate from the software engineering program and have yet to be fully immersed in the job market and the industry, but I still highly rate the program itself. I could not think of many ways they could have done more for us during these 12 weeks. From the guest industry speakers, nice NYC campus location, dedicated educators, and impressive organization and structure, I'm glad I took this leap of faith. The cost is about what I would've paid for a semester of undergrad, but it was 12x better in terms of professional development, learning experience, educational content, and organization and effort from the BrainStation folks.

    Great product management course

    I have just finished the Product Management Course and I really enjoyed it. The instructors were great and because this is the area they work in, they could relate it to an every day, real world example. I would have preferred to have my strategy feedback earlier than 2 days before I was due to do my final project presentation, but it didn't affect it that much. It was just a few tweaks. Other than that, I really enjoyed it. Instructors and fellow students were great

    Product Management evening course

    I took an 8-week evening course in Product Management to up-skill in my collaboration with product managers as a product designer. I found the course to be a great introduction to the key topics of product management, yet provided indepth knowledge about the profession that I wasn't even aware of from my day-to-day as a designer. I found the final project to be a great way to apply all of the knowledge we gained, and my fellow classmates were incredibly engaged, knowledgeable and from diverse backgrounds and careers.

    A Highly Knowledgeable Digital Marketing Course with Exceptional Instructor Support

    I recently completed a Digital Marketing course at brainstation.io, and I must say, it was an incredibly enriching experience. The course exceeded my expectations in terms of both the instructors' expertise and their unwavering commitment to helping students grasp the intricacies of digital marketing.

    From the moment I enrolled, I was impressed by the level of knowledge and professionalism demonstrated by the instructors. They possessed a deep understanding of the subject matter and were able to convey complex concepts in a clear and concise manner. It was evident that they were not just proficient in their field but genuinely passionate about sharing their expertise.

    One standout aspect of this course was the instructors' dedication to going the extra mile for their students. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure that we not only comprehended the material but also understood how to apply it effectively. They were readily available to answer questions, provide clarifications, and offer practical advice. Their support extended beyond the classroom, with personalized feedback on assignments and real-world examples that helped us grasp the nuances of digital marketing strategies.

    The instructors' commitment to helping students avoid pitfalls was truly remarkable. They shared their own experiences and case studies, highlighting common mistakes and offering valuable insights into how to overcome challenges. This proactive approach to education greatly contributed to a more holistic learning experience, ensuring that we were well-prepared to navigate the ever-changing landscape of digital marketing.

    The course curriculum was well-structured and comprehensive, covering a wide range of digital marketing topics, including SEO, social media marketing, content marketing, email marketing, and analytics. The instructors used a variety of teaching methods, including lectures, interactive discussions, hands-on exercises, and real-world simulations, which made the learning process engaging and practical.

    The overall learning environment at brainstation.io was exceptional. The instructors fostered a collaborative and inclusive atmosphere, encouraging students to actively participate and share their ideas. Additionally, the course material was regularly updated to reflect the latest industry trends and best practices, ensuring that we received the most relevant and up-to-date information.

    In conclusion, I highly recommend brainstation.io's Digital Marketing course to anyone looking to enhance their understanding of this dynamic field. The instructors' extensive knowledge, dedication to student success, and commitment to providing practical insights make this course an invaluable learning opportunity. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced professional, you'll walk away with a solid foundation in digital marketing and the confidence to apply your newfound skills in real-world scenarios.

    Interesting, Insightful, Clear

    I felt like the instructors were very thorough and really cared about if we understood the coursework. When they could tell that I was confused about something, they would help troubleshoot personally or offer to go over problems via slack outside of class. I really appreciated that they had industry experience and were able to offer insights on career questions, not just technical questions. My one concern going into the class was that I had no previous background in anything related to tech. I am currently a preschool teacher, and wanted a way to dip my toes into the world of data without feeling overwhelmed by a the commitment of a bootcamp. What I liked about the course was that it was informative but still simple enough to understand for a beginner like myself. Although I realized that data may not be the path for me in terms of a future career, I am grateful to have learned the skills I did in this class. I am particularly thankful for my newfound Tableau skills, because I believe they will help me in whatever field I am in to create more compelling presentations. Overall, I believe the class was a great introductory course into the world of data.

    A Mixed Experience in BrainStation's Data Analytics Course

    BrainStation's Data Analytics course featured valuable content and a well-structured syllabus. The topics covered included analyzing data using Excel, SQL, and visualizing data using Tableau, providing me with the necessary knowledge and skills for data analytics. However, for those without a data analytics background, the fast pace of the course, limited by the time allocated for teaching all topics, hindered in-depth teaching and exploration of certain concepts. Nonetheless, the course successfully laid a strong foundation in data analytics, enabling further growth and self-study in the field.

    Digital Marketing course

    I took the digital marketing course in May - June 2023. It was a 3 hour course each week in person with two facilitators for a duration of 7 classes. I felt it was nice taking it in person and asking facilitators questions. It was just scratching the surface with marketing. We were required to complete a course project and complete it on time.  I did find it challenging working in a group. Two members did leave the course however we managed to complete the course  which did prepare us for real life scenarios that could happen when trying to complete deliverables. I enjoyed the categories being discussed and really enjoyed being present in class to ask questions with the facilitators. I think future students should consider their other life commitments when taking the course as it does require a commitment to complete. I highly suggest talking to current students and alumni to get a scope of the course. Overall it was a very positive experience and I highly recommend it for folks looking to get a brief intro to digital marketing and for anyone working in one aspect of marketing and looking to learn about other areas in the topic.
