    UX/UI Designer

    This school is great for anyone who is looking to get there foot in the door in the tech field. Its an intense program, but being on the other side of it - not only do I have the language to converse with design leaders; but, I have skills to actually design and implement digital products. Not to mention the UX/UI Instructor is an expert in the field and is well respected - cannot wait to name drop on my first interview!

    Full Stack Wed Development Course, HTML/CSS/JS/RUBY/REACT/RAILS. Amazing Academy/Bootcamp - 10/10 would recommend to a friend. On top of all the programming/coding skills we have learned (which has been incredible), what I value most is the sense of community, support, world class staff (from the Owners to TA's), and energy that Wyncode has to offer. That, in addition to the networking opportunities and friendships/relationships we all have developed over the course is what makes Wyncode...

    User Experience Design Certificate

    Highly recommend the User Experience Design Certificate course to anyone looking to learn more about the topic. I am amazed by how many concepts we were able to cover in just 10 weeks! The virtual option made it possible for me to complete this course while working full time. Additionally, as UX Design professionals themselves, the instructors brought real-world examples to class discussions and offered helpful insights on the field.

    Data Science Course Review

    I recently completed the online live version of Brainstations Data Science class.  

    A bit about me:
    • I didnt know any Python or Data Science prior to the class
    • I'm not a software engineer, but understand basic concepts of coding
    • I have a very basic understanding of stats
    • My primary goal was to get a very basic understanding of core concepts for data science

    Overall, I really enjoyed the class and achieved my goal of achie...

    UX Design Course (5 week)

    A well facilitated, learning experience, exposing students to the full design process. Great content, a bit condensed given the limited timeline. An understandable limitation nonetheless. 

    Observations/feedback re: wireframe software used, there was notable compatibility issues when converting between mediums. My free Sketch trial ran out prior to submitting the final project - this was due to downloading Sketch for the pre-course challenges.

    Great experience and intro to data science

    I took the Data Science (online live) course with Brainstation in the fall of 2019. For context to this review I am not in a technical career (I work in HR) but I study computer science part time and have about 18 months experience programming, mostly in Java. This is my second Brainstation course, following a part time web development course I completed in 2018.

    Initial impressions to this course were very good – there is pre-coursework to be completed prior to the first session...

    Data Analytics Part-Time Course

    Enrolled in the course to learn some new things and to become a better marketer. I’ve taken a few other courses at BrainStation so I was already very familiar with the structure and quality of the curriculum. This course was a fantastic dive into the world of data analytics. Aside from the theoretical concepts of data analytics, I was able to gain hands-on experience using tools such as advanced Excel, SQL, and Tableau. Very quickly, I applied the skills I learned in class to real-life cha...

    UX Diploma program

    I took the full-time user experience diploma program in the fall 2019 cohort. It was quite intense both during class and outside of class but well worth it!

    I really enjoyed all the workshops and events that helped us connect to professionals in the industry.

    The mentor ship program was amazing! Our mentors helped us through and gave us great feedback on how to be successful.

    Digital marketing

    The digital marketing course was a great experience for me.

    Both instructors were very good. They explained the concepts in a very clear way, with lots of examples from real world. They had a very positive attitude all along the course and they were always open to suggestions.

    The curriculum of the couse is a good one and many resources were shared by the instructors.
