This is a really good investment for your future  career and you get a lot of careers support. Another plus is being in a group with others I’ve made friends for life through this boot camp I got so much more out of this than expected.

    A Rewarding Experience

    I am a graduate of the UX Design bootcamp at BrainStation. I chose BrainStation to help me in my career change because of its comprehensive curriculum. Throughout the program the educators and TAs made themselves available outside of lecture times to provide guidance on how to implement all the new skills being learnt into our projects. I finished the bootcamp with a live portfolio that will allow me to jump in to the job search process and, in the meantime, I feel equipped with the skil...

    UX Design Bootcamp- Online

    I am at the 5th-week mark of the 12-week UX Design bootcamp and wow. I have learned so much already ( I don't have any background experience in UX. Coming from a psychology background). Now don't get me wrong, it is a bootcamp, and it's a lot of after-hours working on projects and research, but if you're looking to learn and be prepared for the real world in just under three months, then this bootcamp will do just that. The educators are amazing ( if you happen to be in Joel MacLeod's cl...

    Amazing Program, Learned a Lot

    The Digital Marketing boot camp was exactly that- a boot camp! You learn a lot of information in a short amount of time, which can feel overwhelming but is an excellent way to learn more skills than just marketing skills- time management, prioritizing, organizing, etc. My course got moved online shortly before it was supposed to begin in-person, and at first I thought I would hate it, but it was actually totally fine and they have the online teaching down to a science. I would totally re...

    Software Engineer - Frontend

    Great bootcamp. So glad I joined and went with BrainStation. Curriculum was relevant, in my first role after graduating I’m basically using the same stack that we learned in the bootcamp. The main instructors were great and is what got me through although there were a number of new instructors that would teach on occasion and those were hit and miss. But that wasn’t too often. The post bootcamp support was excellent as well. Seemed like they really care and are trying to help every step ...

    Data Analytics Course

    Brainstation's Data Analytics Course was excellent. I learned a ton. When I started, I was at a crossroads of determining if I wanted to continue with sales operations or switch to a career in data. This was a great opportunity to get a feel for the school and learn SQL, Tableau, and improve my excel skills. I ended up deciding to continue on to the Data Science Bootcamp.

    Detailed intro to data science

    I've now done 2 courses via BrainStation. The Python course was good but I think you can learn the same material cheaper elsewhere. However, the Data Science course was definitely worth the money but you need the Python knowledge to complete it.

    Both courses were taught by Luis Andrade (based in London) who has a lot of experience in the field as well as teaching the material. Luis was very friendly and I did not hesitate to ask questions when needed. The fact the course was instr...

    Digital Marketing Course

    I loved learning about Digital Marketing from BrainStation! I learned so much from this coursel This course is a 10 week course. Even though it was a rigorous 10 weeks I came out with a greater knowledge of the digital marketing realm. Learning about SEO's and KPI's words and terms you have never heard of until you take a simple course on Marketing. I highly recommend this if you are trying to grow your business or make your brand known. Thank you so much BrainStation!
