UdemezueGraduate • Python • OnlineNov 03, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceWaste of money
The BrainStation Python Course is the biggest grift on the internet. The instructors were good but the syllabus was empty. It was not worth the amount charged for it. I felt they just took advantage of my lack of knowledge about what Python entails to sell a very substandard product. They also claimed that there would be a complete collaborative Python Data project. Spoiler alert: That did not exist.- Julie NadalinGraduate • Social Media Marketing • TorontoOct 28, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great for any level of experience!
I recommend this course for someone will little to no experience or an individual who worked in social. It is an excellent refresher program for those with some experience, and you will update your skills. - Nicole LePineGraduate • Social Media Marketing • New York CityOct 27, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Awesome!
I took social media marketing just to expand my knowledge but i fell in love with it. Sometimes i have trouble asking for help (i end up crying)but i felt so comfortable asking the teacher to help me - Wilniyobri TavarezGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp • MiamiOct 27, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
I saw tremendous growth
Before starting here I was familiar with html, css and JavaScript. I had also built a few express apps as well as some android apps with Java. I thought I would learn some new libraries and tools but it was so much more than that. I grew tremendously as a developer. I left with confidence that I know what I was doing and a bunch of experience working collaboratively that I would have never got otherwise.

Wonderful!
Aadil Khan was a great instructor. He helped me understand the theoretical part of UX design in a manner that was easy to comprehend given I had little experience in UX. He was engaging and paced himself very well according to the needs of the students (from what I was able to tell). The breakout sessions were great and I loved that we got the opportunity to work on a project that allowed us to apply all the design principles. - Andre FoulemGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp • VancouverOct 21, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
An experience of a lifetime!
My journey at the BrainStation Vancouver downtown campus:
Changing careers and enrolling at the BrainStation Vancouver downtown campus was the best decision of my life. I have gained tremendous knowledge and skill in just three months.

My journey at the BrainStation Vancouver downtown campus:
Changing careers and enrolling at the BrainStation Vancouver downtown campus was the best decision of my life. I have gained tremendous knowledge and skill in just three months. Getting the first position as a web developer in the industry is challenging. But today, I have a diploma, a good network of fellow students and people in the industry, good skills, and confidence and motivation to boost.
My educators, fellow students, and staff were fantastic. I felt supported throughout the program, and the educators were always helpful and knowledgeable.
Enrolling in a Bootcamp is an important decision; it is a substantial investment for most. I never considered a Bootcamp an alternative to self-learning. It was never an either-or decision. Instead, the BrainStation Bootcamp was an accelerant on my journey as a web developer. The goal is to gain the skills, knowledge, and qualities to get our first position in the industry. The question is: how will I get there? And when?
If you choose to enroll at a Bootcamp, I strongly recommend BrainStation. The gorgeous campus, the heartwarming interactions, the team collaboration, the events with industry partners, and the projects -- lots of projects -- are all reasons I am suggesting BrainStation.
Lastly, before enrolling at a Bootcamp, I strongly suggest you consider learning the foundations of HTML, CSS, and Javascript. It will help you make the most of your experience. And besides, as the ability to learn new concepts could well be the top quality of a programmer, it is never too early to begin. Good luck!

Essential for founders
Brainstation has opened my eyes to what is necessary for founders like me to focus on in Digital Marketing. I am sure that this course will save startups so much money, time and effort as it will give you enough knowledge not to waste your time on trial and error. - Tomas BojkovskiStudent • Web Development Course Online • OnlineOct 18, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Awesome introduction to coding
The web development course was a great way to start my introduction to coding, David was a awesome instructor that made the learning process easy and enjoyable to understand. Darren also did a great job assisting David and adding his touch to the course. - Niamh CusackGraphic designer • Graduate • User Experience Design Bootcamp • LondonOct 17, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great review would recommend
This was a great way to learn more about UX design. Really good for a designer who is looking to upskill. Great community set up both in campus and on LinkedIn. The tutors were very supportive and were available outside of class hours. Had a great project for portfolios after the course was completed - Laolu GaniyGraduate • User Experience Design Bootcamp • LondonOct 17, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Solid & Exact but more exercises.
I enjoyed my time here, the course was everything it promised and I got what I exactly came for which is have experienced hands walk me through the whys of ux, behind the UI.
The course material does need updating though as some of the class instructors have sometimes had different views to the contents and offered much recent illustrations on many occasions.

100% Worth It
I contemplated going through a UX Bootcamp for an entire year before I actually took the plunge. The thought of quitting my job, immersing myself back into an intensive learning environment, and making a career change was daunting. After all, what if it didn't work out and I had wasted all the time, money, and effort doing it for nothing? But everything that BrainStation gave me paid off in the end as I am now successfully working as a full-time UX Designer for a great company.

But everything that BrainStation gave me paid off in the end as I am now successfully working as a full-time UX Designer for a great company.
The course is intense and fast-paced, but the education team is all fantastic, kind, motivating, and there for you every step of the way. You are exposed to each part of the UX Process and by the end of the BootCamp, you will have a deep understanding of how to apply that process in the real world to help solve real business problems. Through design sprints, group collaborations, hackathons, case study projects, and individual workshops and lectures, students are taught and challenged to bring research into insights that help guide the UI design process in programs like Figma. BrainStation surrounds you with smart and creative individuals to help you learn with and from the best in the industry. While it's a lot of work and you will work long hours during the Bootcamp, it was still a lot of fun as I am still friends with several people from my Cohort, and I walked away a smarter and more confident individual.
After graduation, Annette and the career success team helped me so much in feeling prepared and making sure I was presenting my best self to employers. I was nervous about the hiring process since I had never really needed to go through it before. But every time I spoke to Annette, she gave me such fantastic career and interview advice and put my mind at ease. She was always looking out for me and trying to make connections to the BrainStation network on my behalf. While those relationships didn’t end up working out for me personally, they helped me grow confidence with each and every conversation I had, so I couldn't have gotten to where I was without them or without the career team's help.
My experience was as good as it could have been in a short 12-week program. You'll work hard but go into it with the right mindset of determination and you'll have an entire portfolio of great work to show for it and to take with you into the interview process. Can't recommend BrainStation enough!
