A solid foundation for data analytics
The Data Analytics class was an incredibly fun learning experience. The course covered database structures, SQL, Tableau and some basic presentation skills. All in all, it felt like a solid starting point in data analytics. The instructor was knowledgeable, approachable and fun to be around, and always available to clarify concepts and answer questions.

The course covered database structures, SQL, Tableau and some basic presentation skills. All in all, it felt like a solid starting point in data analytics. The instructor was knowledgeable, approachable and fun to be around, and always available to clarify concepts and answer questions.
The class structure was mostly well-organized, with a mix of lecture and lab content during the sessions supplemented with assignments that had practical application.
However, the pace of the lectures occasionally felt rushed, especially with complex topics. More review of the labs/assignments would have been helpful to improve understanding. However, the latter and more complex exercises generally felt like they were building practical skills.
Overall, I highly recommend the Data Analytics class. It provides a solid foundation and equips learners with the skills to apply basic analytics in real-world scenarios. - Tanaya MukatiProject Manager • Applicant • Data Analytics • LondonVerified by LinkedInJun 06, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Moreover, we culminated our learning journey by working on a project and delivering a presentation, which further solidified our understanding and showcased our capabilities.

High voltage, high velocity learning experience
Brainstation has a horde of talented instructors who are available for you to schedule plenty of 1 on 1 time with titans who really know their stuff.
The curriculum is brutal, and if you choose the 3 month bootcamp for data science, you're in for a wild ride.
It starts off slow and steady, learning some SQL, learning some reporting and communication practices,
then it goes into python and begins accelerating rapidly into advanced statistical concepts.

If you are honestly, (be honest with yourself), capable of maintaining focus for 80 HOURS A WEEK on course material, studying, and working the content, this bootcamp is the best there is for you.
However, I wish I did not take the 3 month class. I hardly had time to breathe. - Ryan WGraduate • User Experience Design Bootcamp • MiamiVerified by LinkedInMay 19, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Challenging & Rewarding Experience
This bootcamp was jam-packed with so much information that is overwhelming at first but when you take a moment to thinking about it, it’s so amazing to realize the sheer amount of skills you learn, both hard and soft skills. All of the projects, group assignments, and experience working with industry partners made this a unique and impactful learning experience. - Charles BuadaStudent • Web Development • VancouverVerified by LinkedInMay 19, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Educational, Intense, Creative

There was a lot of educational material provided by the school and education material on the internet. My teachers guided me and this is what helped me gain the capabilities that I needed.
