    Wyncode Opens Doors

    If you want to change your career and be a part of a growing industry, definitely look into Wyncode. That being said, be prepared to truly challenge yourself to persevere and plan to practice coding for hours day in and day out, including weekends, if you want to succeed.

    I was part of Cohort 3 and just completed the program in December 2014. Prior to Wyncode I was working as a Sales Assistant before I was laid off from my job. After hearing about Wyncode, I chose ...

    Coding and Miami are a perfect combo!

    I'll keep it short incase you dont want to read the other long reviews.  I graduated from the University of Miami with a business degree and ZERO coding experience.  After 9 weeks, I was able to build a prototype for an app i've been wanting to build and have landed an awesome job at a startup in Miami.

    Coding will be relvanant, Miami is on the rise, and Wyncode puts you in the position to succeed.

    Also, if you truly are considering joining, YOU MUST p...

    Wyncode is the best

    When I saw Wyncode's first cohort final presentation, I was so impressed and decided to apply to their second cohort. Fortunately, I was accepted and it was one of the best decision I ever made. The team was absolutely amazing. They all really cared about my success. Ed Toro, the lead instructor, is a genius. Not only is he great programmer, but he is able to teach in a way that any beginner can understand and quickly catch on. The TAs were also phenomenal teachers and support system. They...

    A school with a startup spirit

    I would first mention that paying to learn how to code was one of the best investments I have made in my life.  Because not only do you get the skills necessary for you to get a job as a developer, start your web development shop or develop that idea that you want to see happen, but it also teaches you how to sell your ideas, how to develop a product and how to be a better team player. Wyncode involves you to the tech community and grants the opportunity to connect with the p...

    Wyncode

    I was part of the third Wyncode cohort. I had an experience that was both educational and enjoyable. I thought the people involved were really wonderful. It's a great team. On the educational side, I learned a lot from the instructors. Ed Toro is amazing. He's a great teacher, a phenomenal coder, and a fun person to know. The TA's consistently went above and beyond to help me out when I needed it (which was often). Frank and Walter, especially, both helped me a l...

    More than just learning to code

    I was fortunate enough to be part of Wyncode’s first cohort, from May to July 2014.

    I had virtually zero experience coding before I joined (I had just a base knowledge of HTML and CSS) but I knew that rather than spending 6 months struggling to learn by myself, I’d advance much faster learning from experts. 

    Wyncode’s program is absolutely authentic in the value it delivers to its students, and I personally attribute this to its team. Head instructor Ed Toro is extremely kn...

    Great Experience At Wyncode

    Quiting my job and joining Wyncode is the best career decision I have made. Everyone thought I was crazy because I had a stable job in a not-so-stable economy, but it is because of Wyncode that I found a better job and a career path I am satisfied with. 

    Learning to code is not an easy task, and it is not for everyone, but Wyncode's teaching staff were a fantastic resource and were available at all hours during the program. They bring a ton of knowled...

    I just finished Wyncode’s second cohort, and I am happy to say that the quality of my instructors and the curriculum exceeded my expectations! Ed Toro, the lead instructor, is one of the most knowledgeable people in the industry. I am thankful to have been supported by such a knowledgeable and helpful group of Teaching Assistants, especially Frank.  I graduated with a business degree from Florida International University with no coding experience.  I recognized the need, ho...

    Miami tech - Wyncode is the best way to get involved

    Miami tech is for real.  Start-ups and established companies have an appetite for new developers in South Florida and Wyncode is the best way to get involved.

    I am a member of Wyncode's inaugural cohort and the value of my experience has continued to grow beyond the course content.

    Here are the ways in which Wyncode has enriched my life and why Wyncode is the best place for anyone with the ambition and ability to achieve greatness:

    Learned something new!

    I took the UX Design course at Brainstation and had a fun time with it! I would definitely say I learned something new and really enjoyed applying our new knowledge to the project. It really brought everything together. Some friendly feedback, I would say that the classes could have had more meet to them. Sometimes I felt like they could have been shorter or we could have combined two classes in one. But that may just be my learning pace. Instructors were kind, knowledgable, and helpful....

    Great way to learn with others

    I thought this was a good intro course to the world of analytics. I did the accelerated class so it was a bit fast but regardless you have a environment to work, learn, practice and most importantly; make mistakes.  It remains to be seen how the job assistance support works as I only recently began my job searching journey. I am looking forward to being apart of the alumni network. I would considering taking another Brainstation course or bootcamp in the future.

    Not worth the high cost.

    Brainstation is way overpriced. You are only paying for the name and the certificate, which I need to find out how valuable that is in the UX/UI industry. Please do your research and seek out alternatives. Course instructors were not even knowledgeable, and watching them struggle with Figma was embarrassing. Would not recommend it, even for beginners, because you can find most of the course content online for free. The only benefit is small class sizes and live instruction wherever you a...
