    Great overview of product management principles

    My goal in taking this course was to learn more about product management because I was wondering if I should take my career in that direction. I feel that my goals were met. With only a three-hour meeting time once a week for eight weeks, there is only so much material that we could cover, and I knew that going in. That being said, we got a good overview of:
    • A day in the life of a product manager
    • The role of a product manager throughout the lifecycle of a product, ...

    Data Analytics Course Review

    If you're on the fence about enrolling in Brainstation's Data Analysis course, let me offer a gentle nudge in that direction based on my recent experience.

    The course offers a well-crafted curriculum that's perfectly aligned with current industry standards. The breadth and depth of topics covered from topics in Advanced Excel to SQL, R, and Python, these are not just theoretical fillers but actionable skills. What you learn here is instantly transferable to real-world applications...

    Great Crash Course on Digital Marketing!

    This class was a great introduction to the fundamentals of digital marketing! It provides a breadth of information of the field, which is exactly what i was looking for since i don’t have experience in digital. 

    While it won’t make you an expert on any one thing in particular, it provides you enough to know what you could potentially be interested. 

    Jake is also super passionate about the course and helping his students which is a huge plus! He’s very knowledgeable and will...

    UX/UI Design with Alberto Minelli @BrainStation

    Alberto's course was truly enlightening. UX isn't about us—it's about understanding and serving our users. With Alberto at the helm, each lesson feels like an engaging conversation on design rather than mere technical jargon. He brings the human aspect to the forefront, emphasising that behind every design is a real person. Through immersive projects and compelling anecdotes, the learning journey becomes more experiential. And Alberto's exceptional teaching skills elevate the entire expe...

    Intensive but rewarding

    Having no experience in developing, I came out with very good foundational skills from BrainStation. As my title says, it is intensive but rewarding. I committed a lot of my time in to learning and building my skills.  Although it was stressful at certain points of time, I had fun. It was something I've always wanted to do and to be able to create a full-stack application is mind-blowing to me. I never would have thought I would gain these skills within 3 months but here I am.

    Eye-opening, Skill-enriching, Network-building

    As a recent university graduate with a background in business, I took this class to understand whether Product Management would be the right career for me. One of my aims was to gain firsthand exposure to the challenges inherent in the role of a Product Manager. The course's project-centric structure facilitated that. Every class was packed with valuable information spanning the entire product lifecycle, from conception to launch. I got out with a newly-found network of like-minded indiv...

    Tough program, VERY rewarding

    BrainStation Web Development Bootcamp was no joke! It was challenging, fun, rewarding and frustrating at times. I'm very pleased with the outcome of the Bootcamp, I am leaps and bounds ahead of where I would be with self-study. The pace was fast but not overwhelming. It is very do-able to learn how to build a full stack application in 3 months, it does require full dedication and commitment. 
    Overall it was a great experience and I'm thrilled I took the course.

    Empty Promises of "Hiring Partners" left us on our own and unemployed

    The main reason I chose BrainStation's Full-stack software engineering bootcamp (online, full time) over other online courses was because of their claim to have a "hiring partner network" of over "3500+ companies," and that "90% +" of their graduates find their first job within 6 months of graduating.

    Throughout the bootcamp they tout our presentation day as the huge moment where they invite their "industry hiring partners" to watch us present our final projects...

    Amazing bootcamp experience

    I joined this bootcamp with minimal prior knowledge of Cybersecurity. My understanding was limited to the notion that Cybersecurity safeguards us against Cyberattacks. However, Ben and Trevor provided comprehensive explanations, delving into Cybersecurity from its broadest aspects down to its minutiae. With each passing week, I absorbed fresh insights into Cybersecurity, fueling my growing fascination with the subject. Additionally, every week featured engaging activities that aligned wi...

    Very intensive, but it was also very rewarding in terms of what I gained

    Despite having worked fairly busy in a business company until now, these past three months have been incredibly busy, sometimes tough, and challenging. This is why I feel a great sense of accomplishment.

    In-person experience is a key to learning from my point of view. Online courses may seem cost-effective, but knowing my own personality, I struggle to stay motivated with such materials. Therefore, I opted for an in-person school. I believe it was the right choice in terms of the ...
