    Great Support

    Overall, BrainStation was a great experience for building up my skills and my confidence in joining the workforce. The subjects the course covered full enabled me to create a full-stack application from start to finish. The educators and TAs have been more than supportive and always made themselves available even when they didn’t have to be. I highly recommend the course to others transitioning to software engineering.

    Very Good Experience!

    The data analytics course I took with Brain Station, though short, was packed with tons of practical information. The curriculum was well organized and progressed in complexity incrementally. The instructors were well prepared and had lots of experience in the field. Due to lack of time many concepts were not discussed extremely in depth but we were provided with all the tools necessary to explore the concepts further on our own. I left the class with much better understanding of program...

    More Educational than Uni

    I am a full time Digital Media student who has looked into getting into the UX field. I had done a bunch of self-teaching but Brainstation really allowed me to put my skills into practice and teach me new skills. It was an environment where I was able to realise I was on the right path with my self teaching and helped me understand concepts I struggled with in better ways. The instructors Julian and Lynne was top tier and able to make real-world example as well and answer all our questio...

    Software Engineering Bootcamp

    The program is intensive, well structured, and covers a wide range of tools and technologies. Teachers and TAs are responsive and pay attention to all students on emerging issues. There are many interesting individual and group projects. I recommend the course for those planning to start a career in Software Engineering with some basic knowledge about the software development lifecycle.

    good good good

    as a self paced learner, i don't think i really like bootcamp study, but the courses provided by Brainstation do meet requirments of industry maket which is helpful, and i just personally hate seating in a classroom with a lot people, generally the experience is good, some of educators and TAs are patient, some are not unfortunately, overall highly recommand to people who need strong support when they are learning new knowledge.
