It took place every Sunday from 9:30am - 4:30pm for five weeks in the comfort of my own home.
Some of the things I learned included how to identify market opportunities and user needs, allowing me to build a successful product and solution. After creating a comprehensive product launch, defining a minimum viable product, positioning, and pricing, I felt ready to manage a product road-map and make the product come to life. I also developed a strong understanding of scrum, the Agile methodology, and project management framework to enable quick iterations and improvements.
I would suggest this online live course to anyone who wants to gain more confidence behind their innovative ideas and solutions. The instructor worked for a reputable organization and she drew a lot of real-world situations from her experience into the course. I also got to experience working with my classmates in breakout rooms which was a new and awesome experience to have from the comfort of my own home! If you don't have the time to make it out to a class like this or feel distant from this type of offering, you should certainly consider the online live classes from BrainStation. This is my third course I've taken with BrainStation and being able to do it from home worked out great for me.
There is no denying that digital skills are worth investing in. So why don't you try out BrainStation? Its been a 10/10 experience every time I've taken one of their courses. They have payment plans and often your employer will think it's worth investing in as well. It's definitely worth your time and money!- Mikaela MoralStudent • Digital Marketing Course • New York CityApr 03, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Loved the course!
I recently completed a Digital Marketing course at Brainstation. It was the easiest, most informative course I have ever taken. Larissa, our instructor, was super friendly and helpful. I’m glad I took this course and will most likely take another one soon! - TedGraduate • Data Science Course • New York CityApr 03, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great intro to Data Science!
Very thorough data science curriculum. Welcoming and engaging classroom environment. Nishant and Sri were great instructors!
Some exposure to coding and/or Python would be beneficial but not necessary. Once you learn the basics of Python logic/syntax (prep-course and Week 1), the pace of the course is very manageable and provides lots of time for in-class and online questions and discussion. - DrewGraduate • UX/UI Immersive - Wyncode • MiamiMar 29, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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.

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.

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. - Jason HughesStudent • Data Science Course Online • OnlineDec 27, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
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.

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 and the initial pace of the course is gentle, which gave me a chance to get my bearings with Python, its syntax and Jupyter Notebooks (which is the application used to teach the material). The pace rapidly increases however and the course covers many core data science concepts over the weeks that follow. This was one of the things I liked most about the course – as it covers a broad range of subjects you get a solid overall understanding of the foundations behind data science, which sets you up nicely for further study and research in the future.
Parin Shah was our instructor for this course – he was very good. Very patient teaching style and happy to slow down and go over things as many times as necessary for them to sink in. Would recommend.
As for the platform (doing the course online live rather than in person) this was good and offered more interaction with my peers on the course than I expected. I would recommend a 2 screen set-up for this course if you have the hardware available – it is a great to be able to go through the material with the instructor on one screen while trying things out as you go along on the other screen as well.
Overall this was a great experience – I know a lot more about data science and python than I did a few months ago! If you are someone looking to start studying in data science I would for sure recommend this.

It's a great way to level up your skills in a more flexible and accessible way. Looking forward to applying my new knowledge to my career!

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 challenges at my job.
I took the “Online Live” version of the course, so there was a bit of adjustment in the beginning. A few things you might want to consider when choosing online live over in-class:
Pros:
— You can attend class from anywhere. Although the instructor is based in Vancouver, we had individuals who checked in from other cities and time zones.
— The format of the online live version is just like the in-class version. No worries about feeling like you’re missing out on the BrainStation experience.
— Things were easier to see because it was happening right on your computer screen instead of squinting at a monitor at the front of a classroom.Cons:
— You miss out on some of the spontaneity and organic conversation that occurs in a real-life classroom. People in the class seemed to be apprehensive about chiming in because it’s a video conference.
— Since data analytics is a very hands-on type of class as opposed to something like digital marketing which involves a lot more explanation of concepts, you miss out on some of the benefits of having an instructor physically present. For example, many students ran into some tech issues when using SQL or Tableau, but they couldn’t easily show their screen to the instructor.Overall, the instructor dealt with these issues to the best of his abilities. Despite these small hiccups, I definitely recommend this BrainStation course and Online Live!
