    UX Design Bootcamp = top notch

    Simply excellent. The sense of community is what really stood out to me. The bootcamp format is truly tough, but you are well supported throughout the entirety. No such thing as old school tests. You are purely graded on your performance via project submissions.

    Data Analytics @BrainStation

    This course is great if you are looking to build a strong foundation of Data Analytics, which I think everyone needs before they start learning more advanced programs like R or Python. S/O to John Duncan and Paras Batra who were my instructors. Those guys made this 10-week course so enjoyable and easy to learn. They've also been in the industry for many years so they know a lot of great resources. I just wish this class was in-person instead of online. I think that definitely would've he...

    Second chances are worth a try.

    I am currently enrolled in the Data Science certificate program. It was an intense 10 weeks introduction in the world of Python and Data Science. The leading tutors of the course were knowledgeable, patient, and resourceful. Luis, Malika, and Xiaolei have awaken a curiosity for Math and Statistics in me that I haven't had in years. I am slowly coming into middle-age and I felt fully part of the young cohort. We did activities that reinforced concepts mentioned in class. The highlight for...

    Full Stack Web Development Bootcamp

    Although one of the more expensive web dev bootcamps, BrainStation really prepared me for my career change into Web Development. I learned JavaScript, Node and React fundamentals a month prior, but the bootcamp helped me grasp these concepts, exposed me to a lot more tools and techniques, and really cemented my understanding through practice and projects. I completed the program with a capstone project I could be proud of and skills that I could use to build a solid portfolio.

    A great introduction into social media marketing. It was helpful to learn about the tools available, how to use ad mangers on Meta and other platforms. Learn the lingo and see examples. I enjoyed my class and classmates. I would recommend this course for people who are beginners to marketing.

    Web Development Diploma Bootcamp

    I attended the Web Development Bootcamp in Fall of last year. When I first started, I didn't know up from down when it came to coding. I was as green as you could be, but when it came time to develop my own full-stack web app during the capstone portion of the program, I surprised myself with just how much I had picked up during the three months of instruction from my teachers and amazing TAs. 

    I didn't realize that I would enjoy coding as much as I do, and I'm thankful that my in...
