    Learn with intention

    What I loved most about this Bootcamp (one night per week) is how concise and measured the lessons are week to week. The course has developed much over the years and I'm confident I finished this 8 week boot camp with the tools I need to start and continue my Data Analytics journey. Applicants that will get the most value out of this Bootcamp, are those who have invested time researching what Data Analytics is about, and cross-referencing their findings against their personality type and interests, and more importantly, what industry the applicant might hope to apply their learnings to.  If an applicant goes into this bootcamp with a solid understanding of what was outlined above, the lessons will be more accessible and easier to comprehend, simply because as a student, you are able to contextualize new concepts to reality, or even better, what you do for work.  8 Weeks flies by. If you want to finish the course feeling like you've grasped and understood the core principles of Data Analytics, you must practice and or engage in learning more about the domain outside of time in class.

    The bootcamps, greatest opportunity is to give its students more opportunities to improve/practice their new skills in-class multiple times per class. Of course, with varying levels of understanding between students, time can sometimes be allocated more towards helping students understand new and broad concepts, however, if more time was allocated towards deliberate practice I believe the upside would be that graduates may finish the bootcamp with greater confidence in their new skillsets. Another area that the bootcamp can optimize is the installation of software. With varying hardware, considerable time was sometimes spent in-class to support the installation of software like SQL and or Tableau. A suggestion would be to have Learner Support / Synapse be more hands on with this process before the course begins as it would have been ideal to have our instructor spend more time helping students understand concepts, and or going through more demonstrations / more deliberate practice.

    Overall, this course is best suited for those who have invested some time into researching and understanding if Data Analytics is of serious interest to them. For those looking to up-skill with no previous coding experience, this 8 Week Bootcamp gives you the basics at a fast-pace that if not practiced independently, can be difficult to retain. The instructor is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and is very skilled in understanding students from various backgrounds. Both the instructor and the teaching assistant work in the industry and were able to easily connect their teachings to the current job market.

    Overall, after finishing this course I feel equipped to advance my Data Analytics journey/career. With a few more portfolio projects I would feel confident entering the Data Analytics job market. After doing more research about the industry after finishing the course it was encouraging to learn that Excel, SQL and Tableau are some of the most sought after/used programs day to day as an Analyst. At first I was disappointed to see Python was not part of the course, but after learning SQL, I feel confident to learn Python separately.

    too fast period boot camp

    It was an amazing boot camp! The educators were incredibly kind, supportive, and highly professional. The only downside was the accelerated pace of the 12-week program, which made it challenging to absorb all the information. If you already have programming experience, it can be immensely beneficial. However, if you're new to programming, I recommend considering the part-time option, as the full-time program can be quite intense.

    Great course for PM basics

    The class is great for anyone with no background or prior experience in Product Management. All the basics are covered in the course in an easy-to-learn manner. If you’re looking to switch roles and want something in product this would be a great place to start. If you have any product experience this may be too high level for you.

    Great starting point if you're interested in Data Analytics and the various tools. I wanted to get over my fear of hearing big words like SQL, Tableau and understand the foundational principles in some detail - that is exactly what I got!

    Would recommend it!

    I enjoyed the product management course at Brainstation. While I thought that the course content was good, I think the final deliverables could have been more robust. Preparing an MVP is a good place to start, but it could have been an opportunity to prepare a working product (minimal, but more usable than the basic user flow).

    I appreciated how knowledgeable the instructors were, and that they were open to us picking their brains about their industry experience.

    Data Analysis Course

    I have to say that this course is a very well-rounded course for exposing one to the world of data analytics. From the inception of the course to the end it gives you a in-depth look at the tech industry and what, how and why it’s looking for a specific dataset to help with business deliverables.

    Interesting Bootcamp


    I recently completed BrainStation's in-person UX Design bootcamp, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. From day one, the immersive, hands-on experience was instrumental in quickly grasping the essential elements of user experience design.



    The instructors were not only experienced professionals, but they were also fantastic mentors who were enthusiastic about sharing their expertise and personal experiences in the field. Their patient guidance fostered a comfortable learning environment that encouraged exploration and creativity.



    The curriculum was robust and cutting-edge, covering everything from user research and persona creation, to wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing. This broad spectrum of topics provided a comprehensive understanding of UX design, ensuring that each student was well-prepared to handle real-world projects.



    What truly sets BrainStation's bootcamp apart is the focus on practical, project-based learning. By the end of the program, I had a rich portfolio that showcased my skills and growth. This, coupled with BrainStation's robust career support, was invaluable when transitioning into the professional world.



    Overall, I found BrainStation's UX Design bootcamp to be a transformative journey that propelled me into the exciting world of UX Design. For anyone looking to delve into this dynamic field, I cannot recommend this program highly enough.
