    Are you ready for your blessings?

    I enrolled in Wyncode much like the majority of alumni, because I wanted a career change and I needed it fast. It completely changed my life and exposed me to a network of highly motivated, intelligent and caring individuals. The staff is extremely dedicated and believe in Wyncode as much as you want to. Given the demanding nature of a 10-week coding boot camp, they really want to ensure that you're taken care of in every sense--mentally, physically. Even after graduation, being apart of t...

    Great Experience

    I had a great experience taking The Wyncode Academy's Full-Stack Web Development program. Ed Toro was an excellent instructor, not only was he extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter, but he explained a massive amount of information in a fun and understandable way. He definitely inspired me to work every day and strive for his level of skill and expertise.

    The Full-Stack Web Development curriculum was a great introduction to the logic and syntax of computer programming, ...

    An Eternal Optimist Pivots Into a New Career

    This review will seem biased to the jaded, the cynical, or those hunting for what makes them happy. This review will likely not be useful to the individual who looks at developing, software, and tech as simply a quick plan to 'get rich.'

    I have always liked technology, I like information, and I was never the best student.  

    Before Wyncode I held more jobs than I can count, trying to make ends meet while living in New York City and struggling to catch a...

    Digital Marketing

    I was enrolled in the digital marketing course at Brainstation Yaletown and I think it was definitely worth it; I am so glad I chose to take it! The content was relevant, focusing on one (out of ten) aspect per week, with real time (no useless 5-year-old examples), real life (all companies used were locally based), and applicable examples. In addition to the content itself, the space in which the classes are held is modern and clean with exposed brick and glass, while the classes were sm...

    Product Management - Winter 2017

    Fantastic course for the beginner to product. You will gain a very good foundation for building the specific skill sets required to be a Product Manager. The curriculum is well thought out and taught in a strategic order. The instrutors are very knowledgeable and, most importantly, are VERY enthusiastic about the content. I took this course with NO knowledge of how products are taken from ideation to market. The goal was to help transition out of a Sales career and into product. Goal achie...

    A Leap of Faith

    I took a chance on Wyncode after leaving my job of 2 years and it was the best thing I did. Not only did I learn new skills, I met great people, I broaden my network, and I had the guidance and preparation for job opportunities. It was definitiely a step in the right direction. I highly recommend it.

    Great environment/support/curriculum; ROI/Job support needs a lot of improvement

    Overall, taking the web development immersive proved to be a great calculated risk.  The community/environment was very supportive of your goals and where you want to end up.  The course content was based on the most modern tech stack which is trending upwards which means that most organizations out there might not be using that stack. The educators/TA's were awesome, very approachable and explained concepts very well; & with me being a total beginner with no prior experi...

    Great Experience

     

    I signed up for the UX Design Fulltime course in January. For me first time experiences are important, especially when I am laying out alot of cash. I listen carefully to how the people within the organization speak and presnet themselves. I line that up with my interactions with the staff and see if it is consistent.
     

    I can honestly say that this was the case with BrainStation. From the top to the bottom the  staff was always transparent with how they deal with...

    Our course instructors Conner Gallaway and Laura Andersen were so passionate about digital marketing industry and shared many great case studies and their experiences with everyone which is really helpful for us to understand. I particularly like Conner asked, "What's new on social media?" every week at the beginning the class.

    Life-changing Experience

    I’ll start off by saying Wyncode did change my life. I am a college dropout who for 6 years was working retail and became miserable working in that industry. My friend got me into programming almost a year and a half before starting Wyncode and since then I tried to learn it on my own. The problem with that for me was that I needed some type of learning structure. I made the decision to quit my retail job and enroll in Wyncode. It was the best decision I have ever made. I now w...

    A Transformative Experience

    Attending Wyncode Academy is definitely one of the best choices I've made.  Prior to Wyncode, I had tried teaching myself to program, but between work and school I did not have the time to remain consistent with studying on my own, preventing me from making any noticeable progress.  When  I found out about Wyncode I felt that it would provide me with perfect learning environment needed  for me to effectively learn programming.

    Thanks to Wynco...
