    10 Week Data & Analytics Course was a success!

    I had a fantastic experience during my 10 weeks with BrainStation. My instructor was someone who already worked in the field, making me feel very comfortable the material we were learning was still relevant to the industry today. After completing my course, I am confident my new skills will help me collaborate and work even closer with the data scientists, analysts, and engineers on my team. I couldn't recommend this course enough!

    Useful Intro to Data Analytics

    The Data Analytics course at BrainStation is a really useful intro, covering the basics of Excel, SQL and Tableau. It was really well taught by our instructor, Ana, and she was very good at explaining concepts when people needed extra support. The course was well structured and I liked working on a project throughout the course to present at the end which brought together everything we learnt.

    Decent introduction to Data analysis

    It was great at times, fine at others. The instructor was patient, however that meant that at times the class would progress very slowly. We have access to the course materials through the online portal for 6 months, which will be very useful.

    Perfect starting base for Data Analysis

    The perfect balance of lectures and hands-on work. The instructor was able to bring in real-life examples to drive key concepts home. My classmates were very friendly and helpful. We started the course with a quick dive into Advanced Excel before spending most of the course on mySQL and Tableau. The class culminated with a low-pressure presentation to show off learned skills.

    Family not scam

    I wasn’t sure what to expect in the beginning and I had my serious doubts. After the first week into the second I knew this was the game changer I thought was possible. Getting help to talk about my own story was eye opening that brought new confidence. Everyone helps each other. Learning is great but the other things that happen along the way to graduation really make us special.

    Intensive and Transformative: A Game-Changing Software Engineering Bootcamp

    It was truly an extraordinary experience that exceeded my expectations in every way. This intensive program not only provided me with an in-depth understanding of software development but also transformed my approach to problem-solving and coding.

    The curriculum of the bootcamp was thoughtfully designed, covering a wide range of topics essential to becoming a proficient software engineer. From the basics of programming languages to advanced concepts like data structures, algorithms, and software architecture, every aspect was meticulously structured. The material was presented in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to students with varying levels of programming experience.

    One of the highlights of this bootcamp was the hands-on approach to learning. The instructors were highly knowledgeable and experienced professionals who guided us through practical exercises and real-world projects. The emphasis on practical application allowed me to reinforce my theoretical knowledge and gain valuable experience in collaborating with fellow students on coding challenges.

    Furthermore, the bootcamp provided ample opportunities for networking and mentorship. Guest lectures and industry panels exposed us to seasoned professionals and offered insights into the current trends and best practices in the software engineering field.

    I Don't Regret My Career Change

    Best decision of my life. I'll say right off the bat: You have to REALLY want this. I was nervous at first because I was making a career change and wasn't sure if this was where I absolutely wanted to go, but learning all the concepts, skills and processes made me realize that this is exactly where I'm supposed to be. It was also lots of hard work and short deadlines, but it never felt like a "chore" like in my previous schooling and work. The instructors were great and really help also, I wish I used them more!

    Great school whether you’re a beginner or have some design and computer skills. I learned so much. The bootcamp moves extremely fast and it’s very intense, but when you look back you really see how
    Much you’ve learned and how far you’ve grown. I’ll be back for some of the networking programs. Thanks!

    FANTASTIC. BRILLIANT.

    Having previously attended a part-time bootcamp, I can say that this program goes above and beyond. This program fully prepares you from 0 to being able to secure a full time job in 3 months. It’s tough, and it’s called a “bootcamp” for a reason, but it is absolutely worth it. And it true, you get out what you put in. Their career assistance, is amazing. They continue to help even months after graduating. This program has fully transformed my career life and I am so happy to have been a student here.

    BrainStation's Product Management course was great. Lots of information condensed into a cohesive structure to make sure we understand the best practices for each process of product management. David and Lucianne were amazing instructors who are super knowledgeable and very supportive throughout the course. The final project was a great opportunity to apply the theory into practice.

    Excellent intro to Product Management

    I've attended the Product Management course at Brainstation, London.
    The course was 8 weeks long, one evening per week.
    The instructors work in important companies as PMs, therefore very experienced and knowledgable.

    The course involves a final presentation about your product idea - expect to spend an extra two to three hours a week for this.
    During the class, students are provided with real industry examples as well as feedback and suggestions about their projects.

    I personally enjoyed learning how to identify problems and validate hypothesis and solutions through professional frameworks.
    Overall, it's a great short course for those who already work in the industry but want to transition into a product management role.
