My experience at BrainStation has been life changing and eye-opening to say the least. I went in to the program with little to no knowledge about how to code. My experience with coding dates back to the HTML only days and Geocities where I taught myself a little bit of coding during that time and that's it.

My experience at BrainStation has been life changing and eye-opening to say the least. I went in to the program with little to no knowledge about how to code. My experience with coding dates back to the HTML only days and Geocities where I taught myself a little bit of coding during that time and that's it.
After going through the program it blows my mind every time I think about how much I have been able to learn in such a short time. The program is structured just right where each week's lesson is applied in the weekly 'sprints' of each project. I was part of the full-time Full Stack Web Development dimploma program from Spring 2019.
Let's talk about the pros first...
I did a campus tour at each BootCamp in the area and the one thing that attracted me to BrainStation is the fact that it is part of Konrad Group, one of big tech consulting firms in the GTA. They teach all the best practices and coding policies also used by their coders so you can be sure that you are learning the industry best practices in the process.
The instructors and TA's are absolutely phenomenal, with a wealth of knowledge from the industry. The assistant instructor is an actual Konrad Group employee and the main instructor comes with decades of coding experience in several languages. The TA's are from previous cohorts who have been through what the current cohort is going through.
What I specially liked was that the material was always current, considering how quickly the coding world evolves.
Now lets talk about the cons...
During our cohort, they missed out on some key teaching points that, from our tech tours seemed to be important for a Junior Web Dev.
We got a brief lesson about how to use Database, Deploy code, work in a group (second last project), and work with the other departments just like the real world. They definitely need to spend a few more days on the ones mentioned above, but then again there is only so much time in the 12-weeks.
Some words of advice...
Don't worry too much about HTML and CSS. They are pretty easy, but definitely try to understand Functions and For Loops as much as you can before your program starts. That is the basic of any JS framework. As long as you understand those two things, you will be fine. The course is jam packed and will go by faster than you can take it all on. Don't worry if you are not really able to understand the nitty gritty of the material. Just try to grasp the key concepts and spend the rest of your free time if you have any on what you didn't get. Otherwise, you will fall behind. Missing even 1-day is a lot.
Go in knowing that you will be MIA from your friends and family for the next 3 months of the program. You might have a handful of weekends to yourself but otherwise you will just be too busy with each sprint.
Otherwise all I can say is that you will come out of it loving the program and becoming really good friends with your classmates. You are taking a huge leap in making going through a Career Transformation and spending this kind of money on the program. I for one do not have any regrets. It is scary but exciting at the same time.
BrainStation has a great staff on hand during and after the program where they will do what they can to help find a job. They have a big group of alumni as well as well. The frameworks they teach are current so you won't feel out of place when you are done the program.
