- Digital Marketing- 2/26/2019Angelina • Fundraiser • Course: Digital Marketing • Campus: Toronto
I just completed the part-time digital marketing course at BrainStation. After months of looking into it, I finally decided to enroll in the course, and I am so glad I did!
Overall I had an excellent experience from start to finish. BrainStation hires awesome people, their Admin Staff & Program Coordinators were very helpful, answering all the questions I had and following up with me promptly.
The instructors were also great. I really enjoyed learning from Scott and Nicholas. Their wealth of knowledge was very applicable and easy to follow. Both were eager to help and happy to support our learning. We covered a lot of material in just five short weeks including SEO, SEM, Social Media, Website Optimization.
In addition to this, I met a lot of great people from all walks of life. It was great to bounce ideas off each other and share experiences while learning new skills.
- Laurel • Student • Course: Design Thinking Training • Campus: New York City
I took the 2-Day Design Thinking Training at the new BrainStation campus in NYC, and had a wonderful experience! The course was truly collaborative, hands-on, and comprehensive – and the intimate class size and both knowledgeable and approachable instructor made for a really rich learning environment. After the 2-days, I left the training with a comprehensive understanding of design thinking, and was able to apply what I had learned in my day-to-day job. After 8 years in the industry, this was a great opportunity to give my skill set a boost. Would recommend.
- Engineer turned Data Scientist via BrainStation- 2/17/2019Davis Ly • Jr. Data Scientist • Graduate • Course: Data Science • Campus: Toronto
Quick summary
I attended the Data Science Full-Time program for the Fall 2018 cohort at BrainStation (Toronto) and I had a great experience. Attending this program helped me puruse the career transition I was looking for: chemical engineer to data scientist.
Program pros/cons
The highlights for me included:
- Great teaching staff who motivated the students to learn
- Relavent course content which was based on what industry professionals use
- Campus tours/industry speakers that allowed us to gain insights into how Canadian companies are using data in their businesses
- Working on the capstone project for demo day
Some criticisms (which were pointed out to the staff after our cohort ended):
- Pacing for the lectures were imbalanced (some weeks were more heavy than others)
- A lot of time was spent trouble-shooting issues as opposed to lectures (why doesn't this SQL client work on my OS?)
- Career support/events (outside of industry speakers/campus tours) were lacking
Is this program right for you?
It depends. You could learn data science on your own with the content out there these days but it is a lot of information to learn on your own. At least at BrainStation it is somewhat guided learning that you can use as a basis to continue to grow yourself. For me, I spent usually 10+ hours/week outside of class learning on my own to reinforce the lectures and learn more about computer vision. You have to be a self-starter and be passionate about this field to make that career change.
Job prospects
After graduation, most of the interviews I had were with companies that came to Demo Day. Having that personal connection with the recruiters goes a long way in cementing your candidacy at a potential employer. For your projects, I suggest doing something that is interesting and challenging because that how I got people to talk to me.
- Highly Recommend BrainStation- 2/14/2019Brittani Chamberlain • Course: User Experience Design • Campus: Toronto
I recently finished the 10-week part-time UX Design course at the Toronto campus and I enjoyed every minute of it! If you are looking to gain a better understanding of UX Design and its fundamentals you will enjoy this course.
The Lead Instructor, Colette Di Bella, and the Teaching Assistant, Chloe Silver, were very knowledgeable, approachable and helped out both inside and outside of the classroom. It was also very interesting to hear both Colette and Chloe’s thoughts and opinions about the UX Design process because of the experience they both hold. Learning about the different websites and applications they use was also a great insight to have when going through my own project.
When I began this course, I wanted to learn more about the design process and the tools used within UX Design. I can confidently say that this course has helped me develop a better understanding of these 2 things. I learned how to use Moqups, POP, and InVision as well as how to go through the iterative design process. During class time, the mini group work sessions were really helpful because of the ability to talk problems through in a team environment and the chance to hear others thoughts and opinions.
I enjoyed being able to work on a project and go through the process first hand, which in return, helped me gain a better understanding of what UX Designers do. I very much liked seeing my project come together starting as just an idea and ending with a working prototype. Thank you BrainStation for allowing me the opportunity to further my education.
- Practical, Enjoyable, Invaluable- 2/13/2019William • Graduate • Course: Product Management • Campus: Vancouver
I attended the 5-week product management course with BrainStation and had high expectations from all the positive feedback I had heard... and I can honestly say that they far exceeded anything I could have hoped for in the course.
The instructors were industry veterans who had a passion for teaching. They also made every effort to help their lessons apply to students success regarding finding jobs in the field, getting the necessary experience, etc... The curriculum was also exquisite, and it was clear to see that BrainStation believes in constantly improving their courses based on feedback.
Thanks so much for the fantastic education and experience!
- Product Management- 2/9/2019Jess • Course: Product Management • Campus: Toronto
I really enjoyed my product management class at Brainstation. It helped to formalize my learnings on digital products. The instructors were awesome, they always made time for questions and provided real-life scenarios to the theory they were teaching. The class curriculum was great, there was a formal learning session and hands-on class group activity to apply the learnings to follow. The activities were fun, and I got to work with a network of people from different industries. It was a great experience, and I leant a lot from my instructors and my classmates.
- Great Experience!- 12/24/2018Munifa Ahmed • Student • Course: Web Development Diploma Program • Campus: Vancouver
I joined Brainstation full time web dev for career change and honestly that have been one of the great chocies I MADE! It have been definitely challenging but all the amazing and supportive Instructor, TA and staff have made this experience one of a kind. We have learned coding from basic HTML, CSS and Javascript all to React, Database server and Express. As John said, program manager, this is the begining for everything. What is your next step?
- Certificate, Data Analytics- 12/10/2018Remi • Manager, Project Delivery • Graduate • Course: Data Analytics • Campus: Toronto
Brainstation continues to be an excellent experience!
I previously enrolled in the Data Analytics course in late 2018 and had a great time with the instructors (Lindsay & Ahmad). I followed it up with the Data Science course that I have just completed, to further my skills. This course was a pretty decent jump from the analytics one as it dives into programming and statistics a little. The course covers all the basics of python and goes as far as to touch on modeling via regression and other means. It does move very quickly and you do need to stay on top of it as it is easy to get lost. The instructors were very knowledgeable with real industry experience and applications. Brainstation and these two courses have given me the foundation to pivot my career into Data Science! Would definitely consider a full-time program in the future!
- Digital Marketing Course- 12/10/2018Amanda W. • Graduate • Course: Digital Marketing • Campus: Toronto
The digital marketing course offered by BrainStation was an excellent generalized overview of the industry. The course gave insights into many aspects that go into creating a successful digital experience for a brand/company. The instructors were amazing, helpful and truly made the subject matter interesting! They helped accompany the syllabus with experiences from their own careers within the industry.
- Review- 12/1/2018Jessica Cho • Student • Course: Web Development • Campus: Vancouver
I recently took the part-time Web Development program in Vancouver. Before starting the course, I did not know how to build a single element of the website even though I was studying coding online. I was looking for a school that offers hands-on project and supportive instructors to strengthen my overall skills, and BrainStation was the one I found.
Instructors, who are currently working in the Tech industry, taught me up-to-date skills of the latest software trends and coding tips. I especially liked there were always two instructors in the class so I could ask questions as much as I wanted. Also, BrainStation supported me to take the course by providing a scholarship and an ambassador program. If someone has a great passion in Tech industry, but the price is the biggest concern, I recommend talking to the staff. They are really helpful.
After taking the course, now I can use different industry tools (Atom, Visual Studio Code, and Chrome Developer Tools), the basic understanding of HTML&CSS, and apply them to build a responsive website. Overall, it was a great experience to study at BrainStation!
- The best for digital marketing.- 11/28/2018Kate Dickson • Graduate • Course: Digital Marketing • Campus: Toronto
I took digital marketing at BrainStation as a way to introduce myself to the digital world, something I hadn't touched at my previous company but was extremely important at my new one. It was a great way to learn broadly about topics ranging from social to SEO to website and everything in between. The teachers are great and the content is relevant. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking to dip their toes in the digital marketing world or diversify their digital knowledge.
- Excellent learning opportunity- 11/18/2018Christophe Lefebvre • HR Manager • Graduate • Course: Data Analytics • Campus: Vancouver
I attended the Data Analytics course, 4 days In-Class in Vancouver, and I’m absolutely satisfied, both by the content and the teaching method.
The curriculum is quite large (Database 101, in-depth SQL and Tableau, Excel advanced), and the pace is relatively high, but we were able to not only learn about each individual topic/software but also use them all at once for our final project. The In-Class version of this course offers a lot of interaction with classmates and our teacher, in a very positive atmosphere. Our teacher was very knowledgeable and really engaged individually with each participants, creating a strong learning dynamic. Although I was quite tired at the end of the course, I felt that we accomplished a lot, and the final project gave me the confidence that I am well equipped to apply those skills in real life.
I would recommend this course to everyone willing to develop the technical aspect of business analytics as those skills can be quickly applied and make a difference in our day to day professional life. It’s definitely worth the time/money investment.
- Career Never Got Going- 11/11/2018Hannah C. • Graduate • Course: Web Development Diploma Program • Campus: Toronto
It has been 2 years since I graduated Brainstation's Full TIme Web Development program and I can say definitevely after 2 years that it was a mistake to attend. I was able to get a part time job based on the Career support they provided but ultimately was told by the employer that it was never going to be a full time role. From there, I did a heavy amount of job hunting, but companies don't have a lot of respect for Brainstation graduates it turns out. I was told there was a big difference between Brainstation grads and grads from schools like Lighthouse Labs, and it led me to talking to other graduates from other Brainstation cohorts and realizing that many other grads were in my situation. We evenstarted a group called BS education to help eachother and we now have over 40 graduates all of which have had a tough time getting jobs and needing to take more courses to become more employable.
The curriculum at the time seemed to lack of a lot of depth and just touch on topics. The teachers are actually great, and I know grads of other programs of theirs have done quite well, but at this point the web development program is known as a weaker curriculum than almost any other one.
I chose to write this review because I saw that BS came out with an job report and while the 88% rate they boast for the program sounds great, it includes people getting jobs that have nothing to do with development and part time jobs as well. I didn't appreciate what I felt was misinformation and so decided to write a review on here after hearing that this is where a lot of bootcamp students make the choice of joining.
Response From: BrainStation of BrainStation
Title: Student Experience TeamWednesday, Dec 05 2018Hi Hannah,
Thanks for sharing your review of BrainStation, we appreciate the feedback.
As you mentioned, every year we release a BrainStation Outcomes Report, which is a review of employment outcomes for our full-time graduates. While the 88 percent graduate employment rate for Web Development is based on all industries of employment, we also include the employment rate within the relevant field of study, which is 85% for our full-time Web Development program. In the interest of transparency we also have an Outcomes Report Data & Methodology page which we urge potential new students to read.
We’re happy to hear that the career support did help you find part-time work, however we understand that our students priority is to find full-time positions. This is why we’ve created our Career support program, offering students the opportunity to take part in mock interviews, network with industry professionals, and present their portfolio to our corporate hiring partners at Demo Day.
Please feel free to reach out to the Toronto Student Experience team at contact@brainstation.io for more information on how we can offer you continued career support.
- Great intro to UX @ Brainstation NYC- 11/8/2018S Mahapatra • Co-founder • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design • Campus: New York City
I took the four day accelerated User Experience course at Brainstation NYC, and came away impresed by the knowledge and practical experience I gained in that short period of time. Eduardo was an experienced and engaging instructor, and I appreciated how the curriculum balanced conveying theoretical concepts and helping us develop real skills by introducing us to industry tools and applying them to a capstone project.
The campus itself occupies a gorgeous space in Soho, and the support and onboarding teams were incredibly friendly and responsive to our needs. Coming into the program with a background in business, I'm excited to put my experience to work right away as I spec and design the MVP for a new venture.
- Data Analysis- 11/6/2018Monica MT • DB Administrator/Data Analyst, Toronto Birth Centre • Graduate • Course: Data Analytics • Campus: Online
I recently took the 4-day intensive course online for Data Analytics and overall was quite happy with the experience. I found the instructor/s were knowledable about the course content and were able to customize the lesson based on what our group wanted extra learning from.
The curriculm itself was good, but I think the organization of the information could have been better - we covered basic rules of data presentations toward the end when I really felt like we should have covered that at the beginning before diving into SQL, Tableau, and Advanced Excel. That said it served as a bit of a brain break (for me anyway). The datasets we used in practice were real and I appreciated that we were given time to explore those datasets to query meaningful data from them. When you sign up they give you a pre-course assignment to get your brain in the right headspace for the class and I felt well supported by the staff and instructors before and during the course. I have access to the materials for at least 6 months afterward so if I want to run more practice on the datasets, I can noodle. Brainstation also offers discounts for alumni for future course offerings and scholarships.
My only complaint is I wish they had given us a list of software to download ahead of time for the online course - luckily I have permissions to download onto my work computer but I could see this could be an issue with other students in future. That said, we had online access to a MySQL so we could get started without downloading soaftware.
Overall, I loved the course and feel confident in my ability to apply these skills in my current position today and for future job opportunities.
- Product Management- 10/31/2018Lara E • Student • Course: Product Management • Campus: Toronto
As a complete stranger to Product Management, I found this couse to be extremely insightful and engaging. The instructors, Andy and Khalid, are approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to make an entry into Product Managment or refine their knowledge.
- Yes to all of the above.- 10/17/2018Lane Ngo • UX/UI Designer • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design Diploma • Campus: Vancouver
Did you learn a lot?
Was it hard?
Did you get a job after?
Are you happy you made the switch?
My answer: Yes to all of the above.
-------------------------------------------
Who am I? I’m an artist turned designer. I took this course because I felt a plateau in my previous career as background artist in TV animation.
Bootcamps are tough--not for the lazy or faint of heart. There is no way I could have learned all of that on my own, and guess what? There’s more to learn after the program. That’s understood for every good career, and that’s how you avoid plateaus. Honestly, the program is a blend of Product Management, UX, and UI. Brainstation sets you up with a strong foundation in strategy and design thinking. My only critique is that we did not get to collaborate with the full-time web development students and do proper dev-hand off, which is such a vital part of UI.
After the program, I got a few offers, a lot of rejections, and some “not looking now, maybe later” responses. Teddy Prosser, the career advisor, has been a tremendous help and is the reason why I have my current job in UX/UI. He has exceeded my expectations and has been a tremendous resource of support. Contrastingly, my career advisor from art school has not accepted my LinkedIn connection requests. At a school where I received top marks and was included in the top graduate showcase, I was just a number. The small class sizes at Brainstation allow for individualized attention. Teddy continued to check up on my job performance, asked if I was looking for more opportunities, and offered suggestions for my portfolio. He didn’t have to do all of this, but he did, and I am so thankful.
Those who have a creative visual background like me had an easier time with UI, and it’s a huge plus. There’s a growing demand for it in Vancouver, and there are not a lot of UX only positions anymore. If you don’t come from a creative background but are passionate about design, keep working on it--it takes time, practice, and patience. In the ups and downs, always know that you will have support from your fellow alumni. Sometimes you just need that one “yes,” and if you put in the work and have a good mindset, you’ll get to where you want to be.

- Kate Ryan • Marketing and Communications Specialist • Graduate • Course: Digital Marketing • Campus: Toronto
I wrapped up a 5 week Digital Marketing course at BrainStation at the end of August. I was truly impressed. In 5 weeks (two evenings a week), we touched on every aspect of digital marketing that you would want to know in today's day and age. I took the course as a compliment to a recent career move. I felt like I didn't have the information I needed when sitting in meetings listening to metrics or campaign strategies. BrainStation gave me the tools I needed to understand the basics of digital marketing, and then the curiosity to go learn a bit more on my own. I will say that the format of two evenings a week does make for a very busy week - I might recommend the 10 week once a week format. The instructors were top notch and the most valuable part of the course came from their own anecdotes and experiences. Would recommend this to anyone who is looking to navigate digital marketing for their own start up business venture or if you simply want to be more well versed in your current role.
- Digital Marketing Vancouver- 8/17/2018Nadine Frame • CEO • Student • Course: Digital Marketing • Campus: Vancouver
Attending BrainStation was a wonderful experience. I learned the basics of digital marketing, how and when they would be useful to me. I am the owner of a small business, and now realize that with this knowledge I can hire specialists in the field and understand what is required of them.
I now feel more confident to proceed with understanding the role of my website, its content and SEO. I am now able to interpret the google analytics with insight. I have a clearer vision for my business's social media, paid social and email marketing.
I hope to continue learning with BrainStation. I enjoyed my classes, teachers and class mates. Thank you for this opportunity. I highly recommend this course to anyone who needs a general overview of digital marketing possibilities.
- Great place to learn- 6/23/2018Lesley Stefanski • Graduate • Course: Digital Marketing • Campus: Vancouver
Having been an entrepreneur for almost a decade I have learned a lot along the way, but I needed to sharpen my skills and looked at Brain Station and enjoyed how supportive they were right from the start. I was apprehensive that the course would be an overview of the details but was pleasantly surprised that they dove into the finer areas of digital marketing but not so data-driven that it was over your head. The class taught me all the tools within a short amount of time, and the interaction with other students and industry-focused instructors was extremely valuable. I'm already looking forward to taking another course.
- Digital Marketing Course 👍- 6/19/2018Rachel • Student • Course: Digital Marketing • Campus: Toronto
Last week I completed the 10-week part-time Digital Marketing Course at BrainStation Toronto and it was a great experience. I'm really happy I took the course and recommend it to anyone looking to gain core digital skills.
The lead instructor, Sarah, was a great teacher - knowledgeable, experienced, and a clear communicator who often related the course content back to her real life marketing job, which was helpful in better understanding the material. It was also helpful to have a co-instructor (Sameer) in the course - both were supportive and always had helpful advice.
I especially enjoyed working on the final project - a digital marketing strategy for an existing brand - and applying everything we learned, seeing it all come together, and getting immediate feedback from the instructors.
And the Toronto campus is a great learning environment in the heart of the tech hub.
- By industry, for industry- 6/18/2018Thomas • Sessional Instructor, Emily Carr University of Art and Design • Graduate • Campus: Vancouver
I’m very happy to say I’ve just completed the accelerated format User Experience Design course at Vancouver’s BrainStation. I attended through a scholarship appointment as a Brand Ambassador. I’m very happy with how it went - the instructor was in industry, and had knowledge about freelance, enterprise, and start-up culture - the students were in industry as well, the loft style studio campus was a great place to chill and work, and the content answered all my questions! Even if you already know about UX it’s a great chance to double down. Being in a formal classroom environment is a great way to gain confidence! I would recommend this to friends!
- Jessica Venerus • Marketing Specialist • Graduate • Course: SEO/SEM & Analytics • Campus: Toronto
I took the SEO/SEM/Analytics Course this Spring at Brain Station in Toronto Ontario. The overall experience was excellent. I was in a position in my job role where I needed to deepen my skills in SEO/SEM and in reporting on Google Analytics. This course provided me with the skills I needed. They also had so many flexible options for taking this class which could cater to those in school, with a full time job, or even those with a family. The instructors of this course were very helpful and really had a grasp on the course and GA and Google AdWords platforms.
- Digital Marketing- 6/7/2018Michelle Jobin • Student • Course: Digital Marketing • Campus: Toronto
I recently completed the Digital Marketing course and had a really positive experience. Jordan was a great instructor, and often sent us additional articles to review to get us ready for or add-to what we would be learning in class. The guest teachers were also really helpful - I really valued learning from people that were experts in their field. Now, this course is a 10 week part time thing - so know that some topics are bigger than can reasonably be covered in that time. Be prepared to do some additional research on your own, but again that is what the instructors and guest instructors will prepare you for. As someone without a traditional marketing background but that is reasonably savvy about the digital landscape, I did just fine and took away a lot of great information from this course.
- Amazing Experience- 3/31/2018Tomy Reyes • Graduate • Course: Web Development Diploma Program • Campus: Vancouver
"Amazing Experience"
BrainStation's Full Time Full Stack Web Development Program was an incredible experience that helped my skills as a developer grow exponentially.
Prior to attending this course, I had spent eight months self-teaching myself basic web development skills. I decided to take the full stack web development course to build a stronger foundation in web development and increase my confidence in my skills. After having finished this course, I can honestly say that I have achieved these goals and so much more. I learned more from the 10 weeks I had spent attending this course than I did from months of self-teaching. I attribute this success to Jonathan, the lead instructor and the two teaching assistants Nic and Anthony.
Jonathan is an incredibly motivating and inspiring educator that brings out the best in his students. His enthusiasm for web development and technology makes learning from him so easy. The material Jonathan decided to include in the curriculum was well thought out as we covered technologies that are the most recent and relevant in the tech industry. I feel that this has given us a competitive advantage in the job market.
Along with his remarkable teaching ability, Jonathan fostered an environment where we as a class were given many opportunities to learn with each other, as well as pursue our own passions. Through this, I have learned and became friends with some incredible individuals. I also learned more about the joys of being a developer and what ultimately drives me creatively. These outcomes are invaluable.
Finally, Jonathan and the teaching assistants, Nic and Anthony were invested and committed to the students' success throughout the entire program. They have always been approachable and offered support and motivation when any of us were going through difficult times. This meant a lot to us. There were many times in the past 10 weeks where they would stay in during lunch time to help students or answer our questions after hours and during the weekends. While they always were willing to lend a hand, they would never explicitly tell us the answers to our questions because that is not the most optimal way to learn. They know that being a successful web developer entails being able to critically think and problem solve as we will not be spoon fed while working in the field.
Overall, BrainStation's Full-Time Full Stack Web Development program blew me away. I have become a much better programmer and I have created meaningful friendships along the way.
I would recommend this course to anyone that wants to improve their skills as a developer, whether they are new or experienced. This program is much about what you put into it. This program is not for people who are selfish, close-minded and/or expect to have their hand held. If you put in the effort to be in class on time, work with others and study on your own time this program will be a positive experience for you. With the proper mindset, in combination with Jonathan as your lead educator, you are in a great position to be successful.
