BrainStation

As a UXR professional at Meta, I am really happy for having taken both Data Science and Data Analytics courses at Brainstation. These provided me with invaluable skills that are directly applicable to my work. Being able to pull and arrange data efficiently has already saved me a significant amount of time and has greatly enhanced my analytical capabilities.



The hands-on approach and plethora of real-life examples in the courses were instrumental in bridging the gap between theory and practical application. The fast-paced nature of the program was ideal for someone like me who needed to quickly learn and master new skills without sacrificing depth of understanding.



Furthermore, the knowledgeable instructors, many with backgrounds from reference companies, brought real-world insights and expertise to the classroom. Their guidance and support ensured that I not only understood the material but also felt confident in applying it to my work at Meta and beyond.



Overall, BrainStation has empowered me with the tools and knowledge necessary to excel in my role. I highly recommend their courses to anyone looking to upskill in Data Science and Data Analytics. Read less

I took the Product Management course offered by BrainStation. I did it to formalize, strengthen, and develop my skills as I’m currently embarking in a junior product manager journey for my career. This course did not disappoint and it absolutely met all my expectation by granting me the required knowledge, practice, feedback, and in turn confidence to continue in this field. The instructors were phenomenal with real-life experience in the field. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking to expand or pivot their careers.  Read less

I thought the BrainStation Data Analytics 8-week course was well done. Now that it's over I am glad we reviewed everything we did, but I will say that during the course, it felt like we were moving at lightning speed. I included this in my mid-course feedback, but think that during the course, I could have used more smaller, actionable pieces of homework, and ideally the opportunity to review them as a group (instead of just sending an answer key). The instructors were great and everyone was very engaged.  Read less

My instructors aurora and carlos help us throughout the whole process, the course gives you introductory knowledge of marketing and goes in depth into some of the topics. I found it especially helpful in the topics of google ads, analytics and SEO. The course also reviews topics like influencer marketing and social media. Read less

I'm writing to express my disappointment with the recent outcome of my application for the UX Design bootcamp at Brainstorm.
Despite completing all required tasks and receiving assurances about my submission's quality, I was informed of the rejection without explanation. Requests for feedback were denied, leaving me concerned about the fairness and transparency of your admission process.
I urge you to review your protocols to ensure fairness and transparency for all applicants.
Disappointing service and experience.  Read less

If you have a little or some foundation in programming before, I highly recommend you to come to this bootcamp, although the course is very intense, but it can really give you a rough knowledge system in this short three months, together with those hands on projects, it will let you quickly understand the corresponding concepts and knowledge more efficiently than watching online tutorials to learn on your own.
But if you really have zero knowledge of programming and have never even heard of any of the most basic concepts, I would recommend that you go online and watch some of the most basic introductory videos before attending this bootcamp because, like I mentioned, the course schedule is really tight and it's really easy to fail to keep up with the progress and feel frustrated if you come to bootcamp with a blank slate of this side of your brain.

The Product Management course led by Guy Walker and George Odiana exceeded my expectations. Coming from a marketing background, I was brand new to this topic and slightly apprehensive about whether I would 'get it' and whether I could really succeed in an online course (it's been years since I've taken any kind of course, I was rusty). My concerns were quickly squashed by Guy and Walker who delivered the material in an incredibly thorough and engaging manner, allowing the class to participate freely throughout the sessions and answering all of our questions without judgement. Our class was comprised of students from all over the globe, and as we progressed through the weeks and became more comfortable with one another, it truly felt like we were back in school with our peers . Throughout the 8 weeks, I was able to apply some key learnings from this course to my current role and I know I will continue to do so as I continue down my career path, wherever that may take me. I can honestly say I would recommend this course to anyone who is not only curious about Product Management but about continuing education in general. The knowledge obtained was only surpassed by the confidence I gained throughout these two months, proving to myself that it's never too late to learn something new :) Read less

I decided to enroll in the Produc  Management course to help me advance in my career and potentially make a complete career change, and I think It was the best decision I could have made! I have learnt a lot and gained so many insights into this industry. David and Root were great teachers, very supportive and attentive to us all. Brainstation is a very welcoming community and I would definitely be open to do more courses here in the future. I encourage anyone looking to develop their skills yo look at BrainStation's courses.

Coming from an Interior Design background with no experience in Software Engineering, this program was amazing. Although I have to admit this is not for beginners, a person needs to have at least some experience to fully absorb all the content due to the pace of the program! On the other hand, you learn to learn faster and not to fixate on what you do not know because EVERYTHING is reviewed.  I'm proud to say I have completed the Software Engineering Bootcamp and will continue my education in the future.

I completed the online part-time Software Engineering program over 8 months. The content and pacing were great! They don't call it a "bootcamp" for nothing. In the part-time program, you need to devote 40 hours per week; not easy when you already work 40+ hours per week. I would recommend this to anyone, but definitely would not do it again. Read less

I enrolled in this course to enhance my data management skills, which are essential for my Salesforce studies. The course content aligned well with my Salesforce learning path and was paced appropriately for someone working full-time. It boosted my confidence in using Excel, and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring MySQL and Tableau. Monica Youn and Basak Uzun were very knowledgeable and always ready to help. I'd like to give a special thanks to Michael Bennett for his assistance prior to the course. Read less

I am extremely satisfied with my experience at BrainStation. The two instructors at the school are truly exceptional. Their wealth of industry experience not only makes the material easily understandable for all students, including myself at 47 years old, but also adds a unique perspective to the learning process. Additionally, they create a fun and engaging atmosphere in the classroom. The class size is optimal, offering a diverse mix of cultures and educational backgrounds that enrich the overall learning environment. It is fascinating to see individuals from various career backgrounds coming together and excelling in UX Design and using Figma. The school's convenient location in downtown Toronto provides easy access to modern facilities, enhancing the overall learning experience. Attending classes every Tuesday has become one of the highlights of my week, as I see it as both a rewarding treat and a valuable investment in my future growth. I am grateful to BrainStation for providing such a positive and enriching educational experience. Read less

As someone with no background in Data Science, it was a solid introduction into that world. Instructors were always there to help support and guide you along on your first steps. The institute provides you with a wide variety of skills necessary in navigating the job markets. Staff are always kind, respectful and eager to tend to your needs.  Read less

I came into the online Full-Time Data Science Bootcamp at BrainStation with little to no code experience. From the start, the course was rigorous and thorough. Being stressed was an understatement and right away I was sure there was no way I could do this stuff (especially because many of my peers had coding experience). Fortunately, I worked hard and had amazing teachers that helped me get through the first week. Then again the following week, and the next. The program never got much easier, but before I knew it the program was over and I was freestyling python code and creating machine learning models like it was nobody's business. The curriculum and teachers of my course were terrific, I couldn't ask for better. The course went at just the right pace (like running too fast, but at a survivable pace). I also feel supported to get a job now. It was worth the expensive tuition. Thank you BrainStation. Read less

The pace of this course is intense.  The instructors are fantastic, and are consistently available to meet privately to help out.  The content of the course is well laid out.  However, the pace of the course means that topics are covered quickly, and much extracurricular study is required to bring these skills up to a level that could be considered employable.   Read less
