    A Great First Step

    I've taken 2 courses and a bootcamp through BrainStation. They've been great stepping stones into the world of tech, providing valuable structure into my own learning, along with amazing insights into the industry! I especially loved my Product Management educators, Tom and Kareem. Having two different people teaching at the same time really gave a well-balanced and fun class dynamic with so much expertise from different areas of the industry. I really loved this approach to learning and...

    An incredibly rewarding, & valuable experience.

    Before I chose BrainStation, I had done a ton of research for weeks and weeks. It was between them and another bootcamp that was online. At the recommendation of a friend to go in person, I decided to go for it with BrainStation. Things were difficult this year for me, so going in person made all the difference in the world. The relationships I developed with the instructors and the fellow in person UX, Data Science, and Software Engineering were priceless.

    Amazing people, amazing experience

    I studied Software Engineering at BrainStation and graduated this month and I couldn't have even prepared myself for what I was in for. The only two words I have for the learning experience are dense and remarkable. I came into the program not knowing a single line of code, I wouldn't have even been able to tell you what a <p> tag was. Over the course of 400 hours though, I studied harder than I ever have and often worked well into the early hours of the morning. The educators have...

    Transformative and empowering

    My bootcamp experience has been nothing short of transformative. The intensive curriculum, combined with a collaborative learning environment, pushed me beyond my comfort zone and accelerated my growth. The challenges were opportunities for skill development, and the supportive community made every hurdle feel achievable. I leave the bootcamp feeling empowered and well-equipped for the next phase of my journey. Grateful for the enriching experience and the invaluable skills gained!

    The best educational experience I've ever had on my life.

    I quit college to become a self-taught developer, but after 3 months of applying, I could not get a job, and I was lost and losing hope.

    I decided to attend BrainStation as my last resort, and that was the best decision I've ever taken. Not only was I able to become a better developer in every single sense, but I was also was able to make deep friendships and get back something that I lost. I have back my hope.

    Overall, a great experience

    Witnessing the progression in the quality of my projects from the first week to the last week of the boot camp was truly remarkable. The instructors demonstrated extensive knowledge of UX and stayed current with industry trends. I recommend this boot camp to anyone looking to enter the field of UX. While I can't speak extensively on job assistance as I've just graduated today, my overall experience has been excellent so far.

    BrainStation

    Coming in I must admit I was a bit skeptical of what the experience would be like, however BrainStation exceeded all my expectations. The curriculum was very challenging, I recommend brushing up on javascript skills before attending. There were people who were successful coming in not knowing anything but those with a bit of a background definitely had an advantage. The instructors were amazing and really wanted everyone to succeed and the TA's went out of their way to help those that we...
