BrainStation Reviews
- UX Design Part-Time Course at BrainStation.- 12/13/2021Justin M • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInMy experience at BrainStation was quite a nice surprise. Considering the 4 year University education that I am used to, BrainStation was quite refreshing as there was less emphasis on structure and more on learning. The class size was quite small about 13 people or so, this was great as you got to spend more time with each other and really get to know pretty much every student even though it was online.
While BrainStation does have an in-person campus their main specialty of delivery is Online, this is underlined by the fact that the in-person facilities are mostly just rooms where you bring your own devices (laptops). Therefore I recommend that you give the Online option a try as they are very convenient and you save on transportation.
The course material was very current and the software used was also what the industry uses right now. At the time of writing the course used Figma and InVision for their design software, Slack and Zoom for the communication side of things. The enrollment process was very smooth and quick, they have a few scholarship options along with a payment plan to make things a bit easier on the finances.
As for the job end, in this current climate I would say being connected to your instructors through LinkedIn along with the Alumni community is all you really need. Pretty much any University run career advisor would have a similar approach. Part of what makes it easier to grow in UX design is the portfolio, whereas other non-portfolio jobs you mainly trying to grow your resume, which can be hard depending on where you started in the corporate ladder.
Overall I had a wonderful experience during my 10 weeks at Brainstation. I recommend this to anyone wishing to get back into the industry and also bring up to date knowledge to wherever you will be utilizing your skills.
- Great experience!- 12/12/2021Audrey • Bahnam • Graduate • Course: Web Development Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInTo anyone wanting to learn the basics of coding, the Web Development course at BrainStation is a great start. At the end of the course you'll for sure be able to build a responsive web page. And throughout, your instructors will provide you with enough resources to even exceed expectations on your final project - like many did in my class - and for you to feel confident to develop your skills on your own. The instructors are very nice, friendly and helpful, I received responses every time I had a question for them.
Thanks Kyle Galloway & Lisen Kaci for the great course!
- Good foundational course in data analytics- 12/12/2021Nicole • Business Analyst • Student • Course: Data Analytics • Campus: Vancouver • Verified via LinkedInI highly recommend this course for anyone who is looking to get into data/business analytics. It gives a great foundational overview of Excel, MySQL, and Tableau. There's a good mix of both theoretical and practical knowledge. There are labs and optional homework associated with each week's class, so you choose how much effort you want to put into it (although there is a pass/fail project at the end of the course). The most valuable part of the course is that you'll use these skills to complete a data analysis project and presentation, for which you'll receive live feedback from the instructors. It really helps you prepare for job interviews and what to expect as a data analyst. My instructors, Ryan and Thomas, were fantastic - both were willing to answer questions about course content and career development, and even take extra time outside of class to support. They were both knowledgeable, explained course concepts clearly, and were engaging when they spoke.
I took this course as someone who has experience as a Business Analyst, but no formal training on my resume (e.g. a certificate or degree in a related field). I believe the course will give me more credibility in case I'd like to switch industries. I was slightly under-challenged by the course material since I have some experience in the field already, but the great benefit of having course instructors was that I could ask them more complicated questions about problems I find in my day-to-day work. Despite that, I found it was an affordable course for what I was looking to achieve.
- Web Development- 12/11/2021Felix Lai • Graduate • Course: Web Development Bootcamp • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInThe course is very fast paced, and it is a lot of self learning. Do not go into the course expecting answers to be handed to you. The educators provide you the toolset, but as a student, you need to take the initiative to actively research the topics that you don't understand. A hunger for knowledge and a love for problem solving, I think is very beneficial to succeed in the course.
- An incredibly fun and thought provoking course- 12/9/2021Ishita G • Student • Course: Data Analytics • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInThis Data Analytics course turned out to be an extremely fun course that spanned 5 weeks. The instructors were very knowledgeable and extremely patient, and often went out of their way to ensure all the students were set up with the software and had no issues. The curriculum was very thorough, the pace was right even for beginners and the small class size allowed everyone to have their questions answered. The great thing about this course is that it will teach you the right ways to ask questions about the data, manipulate it, and figure out the best visualizations to form a compelling narrative. What can be a very dry topic turned out to be extremely interesting with the instructors proving real-world analogies. Highly recommend this course to anyway who is either starting from scratch or looking to brush up on their Excel, SQL, and Tableau skills.
- Data Analytics- 12/8/2021Meekyoung Hahm • Graduate • Course: Data Analytics Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInAvailable to learn to be a data analyst - what is data as basic, using other tools MySQL and Tableau as well as Excel. If you are willing to grow your career in data analytics, this could be the best choice. However, it is recommendable to take this course especially who really want to develop professional skillset because sometimes students need to study hard in advance. Of course, this would be depending on your knowledge or background. But, from my experience, it is recommendable. In my case, I took 5 weeks once a week, I tried to review for the next lesson in advance, which was very helpful for myself. Instructors are so well organized because two instructors are associated to give lecture at the same time it's possible to support the student who have difficulty during the session. Learning Support team is also good because giving very prompt reply with appropriate solution. For the lecture, it is very practical and inspiring to get more motivation to study using data. If you want to be a good career in this field, please do not miss a chance to be alumni of BrainStation. Knowledge cannot be taken as long as you get it.
- Great Introduction to the Cybersecurity world- 12/8/2021Antonio • Student • Course: Cybersecurity • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInBrainstation's Cybersecurity course is an effective kickstarting course for anyone with little to 'zero' knowledge of the cybersecurity space. The instructors brought with them a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience which contributed to the overall learning experience. My sole critique (a side from not being able to do in-person learning) is the fact that the course is quite theoretical (think university) and I would prefer a more practical learning option (think college). Overall I learned much from the Brainstation team and look forward to further my learning in this space.
- UX Design- 12/7/2021Andy Law • Consultant • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInAccelerate your career in UX design with cutting-edge skills. Learn design thinking, wireframes, interactive prototyping, Figma, and more, and complete hands-on projects to add to your professional portfolio.
- UX Design Bootcamp- 12/7/2021Ariel • Student • Course: User Experience Design Bootcamp • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInReally felt like I up-levelled hard from taking this bootcamp. It's somehow affirming to know I can get a great education from something that isn't traditionally academic after spending many years in university.
- Great Institution!- 12/3/2021Hani Jawhari • UX designer • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInBrainstation learning process exceeded my expectation and was so easy and engaging in every aspect. Teachers are industry experts and give the right information and not from a textbook.For sure, Brainstation will be my go-to learning place for more courses in the future.
- The UX Design Diploma is 11/10!- 11/30/2021Michael • Associate Product Designer • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design Bootcamp • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInI had a stellar experience at BrainStation's online UX Design Diploma (bootcamp) from July 2021 - October 2021.
Course: I have 2 post-secondary degrees, and I have to say that my educational experience at BrainStation was by far the best I've had! I was nervous about learning online, since I considered myself to be someone that learns better in a traditional "in-person" classroom environment, but the Education Experience team does an excellent job at delivering the course content online (because of COVID) through a variety of engaging methods and formats - this is not a "sit and watch someone lecture AT you" for 12 weeks! The UX Design content is interactive, engaging, well-structured, and the assignments build off of each new content section you learn in a logical way. The capstone project that underlies the whole course is a great way to further apply the knowledge and skills you learn in each unit to a full-scale design project (There are also no tests!). The course content is also adapted and reviewed regularly, and the tools/software they teach you are on the leading edge of what companies/enterprises are using in the industry right now. Lastly, there are many opportunities to work on Design Sprints in groups, Hackathons with cross-functional teams, and to show your own work through independent projects and assignments such as the Capstone - all of these mimic how you will work in the field and set you up for success in your new career.
Instructors: The course content is delivered by former-UX industry professionals that have great insight into how the theory and concepts work in practice - this really helped to prepare us well to use the UX Design process and principles in an industry working environment. They are some of the most engaging and helpful educators I have worked with - you can ask a million questions, clarify something 5 times, and they don't get frustrated with you - and if they themselves don't know the answer in the moment, they will go away and help you find it!
Career Success: The Career Success program runs throughout the educational content, but then the team takes over working with students individually once they finish the Diploma. You actually finish the Diploma by presenting your Capstone at a Demo Day to industry professionals and hiring partners. In my case, I started my first UX job at a start up within 2 weeks of finishing the program, and then started another new job 8 weeks after that! The team was great to help me decide the pros and cons between multiple different work options/offers, and how to set myself up for success at this point in my career.
Overall, 11/10 would recommend this program to potential students!
- Digital Marketing Bootcamp- 11/30/2021Hanna • Graduate • Course: Digital Marketing Bootcamp Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInGreat Instructors - Complete Curriculum - Immersive Experience
During my 12 weeks at BrainStation I learned an incredible amount through lectures, labs (practicing what you learned with your peers) and extra curricular events. Despite being online, BrainStation created an immersive experience to learn and mingle with other students.
The content covered all important areas of digital marketing - I am walking away with a general (and for some topics deep) understanding of different concepts from content marketing over social media to SEO and PPC marketing. Through lectures we were introduced to the theoretical concepts as a basis, while the labs gave an opportunity to practice and apply what we learned. A big part of learning at BrainStation are the frequent projects - this is where most of my time away from classes went into. The projects were the best way to apply what we learned, research deeper into some subjects of interest or relevance and create actual digital marketing campaigns. Each of the projects revolved around one subject (e.g. search marketing) but incorporated our understanding of different areas of digital marketing.
My instructors Justin, Mel and Di were great teachers. They all had extensive experiences in different jobs in digital marketing and could share their experiences in relation to concepts learned in class. Having access to experienced digital marketers is one of the most valuable things in this bootcamp (they are always available for 1:1 calls and try to answer all your questions).
As there are multiple different cohorts running at the same time (e.g. UX Design Bootcamp, Web Dev Bootcamp etc.), BrainStation organises a few extra curricular activities to mingle and learn from other students. These events were a fun way to break up the learning flow and I connected to many talented individuals and could learn from their knowledge in their field.
One thing that stood out to me was an interdisciplinary industry project - 24hrs to work with web dev and UX design students on a pitch for an actual client was very hard but so rewarding!
Furthermore, BrainStation has frequent career events (especially at the end of the bootcamp) to help you transition into job search (topics include interviews, you online presence, CV writing, etc.).
Summed up, I had a great time of intensive learning and connecting with like-minded people. I walk away from this bootcamp feeling empowered (getting rid of that impostor syndrome) and motivated to work in digital marketing.
I would definitely recommend the bootcamp to everyone that wants to learn in an immersive way and can put their life away for the 3 months - "The more effort you put in, the more you will get out of this bootcamp!"
