    Excellent Course

    I found this course so helpful and thought the instructor and his lead did a great job of pace and with overall presentation.

    Brain Station Data Science Online

    This is the second course for me at Brain Station.  This course is quite difficult for me as I don't have statistical or programming background like other students in class.  The instructors went through the material quickly.  Extra time outside of class is required to get through and understand the material.  Sometimes, the assignments for each class is different from what the class notes is about.  No assignments are required to be handed in.

    Data Analytics with Paras & Deyvison

    Overall, I enjoyed my instructors - Deyvison and Paras. However, the amount of content they wanted to cover across the 8 classes was too optimistic, which I felt resulted in very surface topics covered for each topic and software. And in turn, we don't have enough skills to support our final project. We could've spent less time on intro to data (ex. the useful case etc.), and focused more on the hard skills. It would be helpful if the course was a longer.

    Industry Standard for Career Transitioning

    After speaking with the BrainStation learning advisors and gaining an understanding of what to expect from taking their Software Engineering bootcamp, I can safely say as a graduate that the program has delivered beyond expectations. Within a few months of completing the program and with no prior professional experience in the field, I have now gained employment as a working software engineer thanks to the curriculum, instructors and network I have gained.

    Amazing way to dive into the world of Ai

    I have recently finished the BrainStation AI 5week course and the experience was just great. We explored the foundations of AI and got high-level understanding of different types of AI and how they work under the hood. The most fun part was learning how to create good prompts for gen AI and applying the learning in a hands on project.

    Data Analytics in Brainstation

     I truly appreciated the knowledge and experience I gained from the course, and it has ignited my passion for further exploring the fascinating world of Data Analytics. The course content provided a solid foundation for understanding Data Analytics in real-world scenarios. However, the only minor drawback was the compact timing, which left us wanting more as they couldn't delve into all the details.

    Good Baseline Course

    This is a good course to take in order to learn the basics of UX Design. Gives you a baseline understanding of the concepts applied in User Experience, and how they are applied to designs. Focused on conducting research and applying feedback all related to a final project of a prototype.

    Very good course

    I took the Data Analytics course and I enjoyed a lot and learn so many things.  It covers Excel, SqL and Tableau.  For me the most interesting part was Tableau. because you can communicate data that help your company to make decisions.

    Incredible

    I started this course with basic knowledge of SQL and afraid to use it. This course gave me the tools to try to work with the language and move forward. The use of the data analytics software was the highlight of the course. I used tableau back in 2013 and it was not easy to use, but today with the knowledge I acquire and I can set up this for the company I work for and use other data analytics tools too with more confidence.

    Fun, fast-paced class

    I really enjoyed the collaborative work environment and the review of basic concepts. I really wish the class duration was longer.  Maybe another month or two to cover SQL in more depth! The course also had an amazing instructor, and I can't say enough positive things about her.

    Challenging but rewarding

    Great certificate course for people who are interested in what goes into product management as a career, especially for those that do not have direct access to a product management role within their current job. 

    Super fast-paced and requires a lot of at-home work to pull together the final.

    My only critical piece of feedback is that it would have been nice to see an example final project before we began working on ours. The final project template provided by Brainstation d...
