- UX Design Diploma Program (Bootcamp)- 11/24/2020Raphael Marques • UX Designer • Student • Course: User Experience Design • Campus: Vancouver • Verified via LinkedInTaking the 12-week UX Design diploma program was the best professional decision I've ever made! Not only the program is very well structured, but they also give you career support and the tools to leave the program ready to take on a new job in your new career path. The instructors are amazing, they are experienced designers and know quite a lot about design best practices, making us feel comfortable to leave the program and be able to take on any job in the design industry. I did the program online and it was even better than doing it in-person. The support they give us throughout the 12 weeks is out of this world and I could not be happier with everything I've achieved so far after the program ended. This is a result of all the skills I've learned during the 12 weeks and the mentorship I got while taking the program. I would highly recommend it!
- UX Design Class Great Intro to Beginners- 11/20/2020Garima Chopra • Product Manager • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInI took the 10 week UX Design class virtually from Sept - Nov 2020. The course material covered all the basics of design and required us to explore design tools. Throughout the class you'll be working on a project that you build on as you learn new material each week. The instructors were engaging and incorporated a lot of activity time in the class to learn to apply the skills we learned and to connect with our peers. By the end of the 10 weeks you have a project you can add to portfolio that is well researched, tested, and you are given feedback if you want to continue working on it. I recommend the class to anyone starting in UX design.
- Convenient and Comprehensive Learning!- 11/17/2020Holly K • Student • Course: Product Management Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI found BrainStation when looking for a Canadian educational platform that would fit with my full time work schedule, and provide a certification in Product Management; something I haven't seen widely offered.
BrainStation absolutely delivered.
I took a 5 week course, but there were multiple other options for different schedules. This one was ideal for me since it was on Sundays only. Though, if you're looking for less lengthy classes (these were from 10:30-5:30) you can take more classes over 10 weeks :)
Andy and Chloe, our profs, were extremely knowledgeable with tons of real life experience and delivered all the information I could possibly have wanted, in a digestible and fun format.
I am considering taking more classes with BrainStation in the future and cannot recommend them enough to anyone else looking to learn :)
- Great School for a great program (Data Science)- 11/17/2020Alberto • Graduate • Course: Data Science • Campus: Vancouver • Verified via LinkedInI took the Part Time Data Science course with BrainStation and it was an amazing experience since the start. The school was quick and very responsive at getting back to me about my initial general questions about the course. The learning advisor was awesome in helping me out on choosing the right path and suggesting alternative. The whole experience before starting the course was great too. The school has an online meeting that prepares you for your first day and it’s very thorough. All the questions are answered there or through a really efficient Slack channel.
The course was quite intense, given the amount the material that was being covered, but very well done. The teacher was very prepared and gave as a lot of real-life examples that are helpful to understand theory better. What I found great about the teacher was that he would send us links related to what was said during the class (i.e. books title, web pages or YouTube video channels) as additional material for us to dig deeper into the topic. Absolutely interesting stuff was suggested. The teacher was also responsive during the week if we had any question and guided us though the final project and suggested us what was best. Once the project was submitted, he sent out thorough feedbacks that showed how much he cared about our work.
Thank you BrainStation!! The experience was amazing, I will keep studying with you!
- Data Analytics Course- 11/14/2020Natalia • Course: Data Analytics • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInI took the Data Analytics course with Brain Station, which looked into advanced excel functions, SQL, and tableau. The instructors were able to break down the content in a way that was easy to digest. They were great at keeping the class engaged with their enthusiasm, even though the course was taken entirely online and involved staring at a screen (COVID). They made themselves readily available during class and after class hours to ensure students had the opportunity to understand and absorb the content. After submitting the final project, the instructors gave insightful feedback. I would highly recommend this course--Andie and Paras are fantastic data analysis experts.
- Digital Marketing Diploma- 11/6/2020Nandita Bajaj • Graduate • Course: Digital Marketing Diploma Program • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInGreat experience! Got to learn so much in a short amount of time, it was very fast paced but so worth it!
- Great experience at Brainstation!- 11/5/2020Sarah Lee • Graduate • Course: Data Analytics • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInMy instructors were so helpful in guiding me through the technicalities of data. analysis. I came into the course with little knowledge, and left with a strong hold on data analytics.Very friendly instructors, gave great insights into the industry.A little expensive, but all bootcamps are around the same price. They were very accommodating with a payment plan!
- Social Media Marketing Certification- 11/4/2020Lauren Marshall • Sales & Marketing Specialist • Graduate • Course: Social Media Marketing Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInThrough my seven weeks completing the Social Media Marketing Certification with BrainStation, I had a great experience with taking the course and feel I was able to take my marketing skills to the next level. The course content is very well set up and developed, covering all the latest trends and topics going on in social media and my instructor was able to make each class engaging.
I took my course through their Online Live platform - which in 2020 is such a great way to still be able to further your education while being in the comfort of your own home, and still connecting with classmates & the instructor through video. With having Slack and Synapse as resources, I always felt I was prepared on the course content and could reach out to my instructor or anyone on the BrainStation team if I had questions.
The best thing about BrainStation courses in my opinion (I have previously taken the Digital Marketing course as well) is the hands on approach they take to teaching the content and having industry professionals as their instructors. Having to apply the concepts throughout the course while learning about real life examples has really aided me in understanding the concepts and being able to put these into action.
- Design Thinking- 11/3/2020Kyle Salive • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInBrainStation’s Design Thinking Training course is tailored to leaders who are looking to drive innovation and push creative boundaries within their organization. This training course will take students through the 4 stages of Design Thinking, including empathy, ideation, prototyping and crystallization. Students will also learn how to gather high-quality customer insights using a human-centric approach to create product concepts that fill users’ unmet needs. See the Syllabus page for a detailed breakdown of units and topics covered within this course.
By the end of the course, students will take a product concept through 13 Design Thinking activities, including persona creation, rapid idea generation, and prototype creation. See the Project tab for more information about process activities and to submit your deliverables.
- Highly recommend- 11/3/2020Jasleen Kaur • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInGreat course for anyone looking to understand the broad concepts of UX design
- Bridging the gap between online learning and real life experiences when it comes to Machine Learning- 11/1/2020David Ta • Student • Course: Machine Learning • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInI had a great experience taking this 10-week Machine Learning course remotely at BrainStation. The class size was very small (~5 students) and was lead by a lead professor and an assistant professor whom are knowledegable machine learning practitioners with years of in-field experience.
This course was challenging if you're rusty at statistics or programming but the 10-week course allows you enough time to grasp each complex topic. Our weekly courses had a 3.5 hour lecture time with in class questions to help practice & reinforce ideas on what we learned in class. Our instructors had also set up a couple of minutes for closing thoughts, questions or potential 1:1 sessions. This provided an interactive session with the class rather than a full 3 hour lecture. Our class notes and assignments were already neatly packaged into jupyter notebooks, and are available in advance of each class; this allowed students to review class notes prior to the class. Our instructors also presented new technologies (GCP) and machine learning frameworks that are being utilized and how they are being utilized for their own work applications.
The final assignment was the only toughest challenge in the course, as it builds upon 10-weeks worth of content into final analytical project. Our class had the opportunity to work with medical drug treatment data and to understand it's complexity in features was a major struggle. However, when reflecting against real life experiences, often times data engineers or data scientists can be tasked with working with complex datasets that they may be unfamiliar with. And so this final project provided a glimpse into this ideology.
I’d recommend this course to data engineers, new graduates, or analysts looking to increase their analytical background, and stay on top of their competition.
- Amber • UX Product Designer • Graduate • Course: Web Development • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedInI took BrainStation's 10-week Web Development (virtual) course in August 2020-October 2020. I'm currently a UX Product Designer and thought it would be great to learn more about how my designs are actually coded and implemented by the team I work with. I had a high-level knowledge of HTML and CSS from my undergrad studies in some Web Design courses but it has been quite a while so many of the concepts while familiar I did feel like I was learning for the first time. I really liked the structure and pace of the course, since we would go over some of the course material but then dive right into coding simple components and working our way up. Both instructors were super knowledgeable and approachable in the online format, I frequently was able to get 1-1 time to answer questions or understand why my code was off. We also had the opportunity to learn about special types of code not included in the course. There was also a ton of flexibility around the final project and everyone in the class had something neat to present at the end. Overall I definitely recommend this course if you're working on digital product design in any capacity or to see if it's something you want to do full-time but don't want to commit to the full-time course just yet.
