Their Marketing Leadership course was amazing! Learned a lot about how it meant to lead marketing teams, how to manage budgets for campaigns, and how to keep your teams involved.

Such a valuable experience!
I loved everything about the product management course at BrainStation. The lessons were well thought out, the instructors contributed really valuable anecdotes from their real world PM experience, and the cohort was full of smart, enthusiastic students. I would highly recommend the course to anyone interested in product management who wants to learn more as a beginner. - AnonymousStudent • Product Management • TorontoMar 07, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Brainstation
I had an amazing time learning more about product management at Brainstation. The course was very engaging and informative. It was interesting to look at familiar concepts such as target person but from a product management angle. The profs shared lots of insights on how they approach different scenarios in their work as PMs which helped to gain a different perspective. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Analytics Online • OnlineFeb 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
So awesome experience
I enrolled for Data Analytics course online and completed it in 2018. The course material was incredible and mentors are so helpful. Because of this wonderful course, today I am working with a MNC company. - AnonymousStudent • Product Management • TorontoFeb 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great overview of product management fundamentals
Relevant, real world use cases for product managers seeking to expand their understanding of product management foundational methodologies. Instructors provided tangible examples to bring concepts to life. Class format was intentionally dynamic with breakouts and active discussion to maximize engagement. - AnonymousStudent • Data Analytics Online • OnlineFeb 18, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Good introduction to data analytics
The course was a decent foundation for getting into advanced Excel, SQL, and Tableau. While the instructors were very knowledgeable and patient with explaining concepts, I feel like more information could have been covered. I also wish there were more hands-on exercises to practice the skills that were taught. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp Online • OnlineFeb 17, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Transformative, Hands-on, Breadth and Depth.
First I want to disclose that I came into this bootcamp with some prior self-studying: reading several books (Python, R, and ML) and taking a few online certifications. After trying to apply for jobs and looking into job descriptions, I realized there was still a gap. I needed more hands on experience to solidify my knowledge, build a portfolio, and know more on how to actually conduct myself when applying for these jobs as an entry level. In addition, I needed a good turn around time, s...First I want to disclose that I came into this bootcamp with some prior self-studying: reading several books (Python, R, and ML) and taking a few online certifications. After trying to apply for jobs and looking into job descriptions, I realized there was still a gap. I needed more hands on experience to solidify my knowledge, build a portfolio, and know more on how to actually conduct myself when applying for these jobs as an entry level. In addition, I needed a good turn around time, so bootcamps naturally fell into view. BrainStation popped out in my mind and what really caught my attention was the curriculum. There were sections in the course that I knew I would benefit from studying with a bootcamp that I could not do as well on my own: this included big data/cloud technology, deep learning, and the fabled statistics that really made DS a well rounded field. Once joining, I realized how high quality the program was because the instructors and TAs took their time to breakdown the material in an intuitive manner, applied their DS background from the field, and even connected current events. I was soon filling in the gaps in my knowledge and actually applying it. Moreover, BrainStation has a great aspect with its online course. It allows you to meet people from around the world bringing in a diverse background in thought and experiences. There were people who were from business, education, engineering, art and so many other disciplines. Because of the way they process the material, I got to think in a so many new ways. For those who think the online course may reduce the teamwork and camaraderie, I do not believe it has. There were key experiences when working with groups. There was an opportunity to pair with a classmate in a friendly competition competition in the class, working on a cross-discipline team with the other sections in UX/UI and software engineering, and giving feedback between and among each other that culminated to a capstone project. After the bootcamp, I feel more confident in my technical knowledge and ideas for future projects. As a note, for those without a background it is difficult, but if you are preparing for it full-time it most certainly can be done with enough grit and curiosity. Right now, I will be conducting the job search process, but the best part about this program is that it includes job preparation with your resume, LinkedIn, and other techniques on how to approach people. All in all, BrainStation has prepared me well, and I am confident I will do well post-bootcamp. - AnonymousBusiness Insights Analyst • Student • Data Analytics Online • OnlineFeb 17, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Fun & Fast Paced, I learned a lot of new Data Analysis Skills
I enjoyed that the boot camp covered a variety of topics related to data analysis, and I must say, it was an incredibly fun and fast-paced experience. Over the course of the program, I gained a wealth of knowledge and skills in several different languages, including SQL, Python, Bash, and R.

Over the course of the program, I gained a wealth of knowledge and skills in several different languages, including SQL, Python, Bash, and R.
One of the highlights of the boot camp was the focus on machine learning, big data, and data fundamentals. These topics were covered in depth, and I was able to get hands-on experience working with large datasets and applying advanced techniques to gain insights and make predictions. The instructors were knowledgeable and experienced in these areas, and they provided helpful guidance and support throughout the program.
In addition to the technical skills, I also learned a lot about data visualization and presentation. This is an important aspect of data analysis that can often be overlooked, but the boot camp emphasized the importance of effectively communicating insights to stakeholders.
Overall, I would highly recommend this boot camp to anyone who is interested in gaining new skills. The program was well-structured, and the pace was just right – not too fast that it was overwhelming, but not too slow that it was boring. I feel confident in my ability to apply what I learned in real-world scenarios, and I look forward to continuing to build on these skills in my future career endeavours. - AnonymousStudent • User Experience Design Bootcamp Online • OnlineFeb 17, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Rewarding leap of faith
It was difficult to break out of the traditional education way of thinking that’s been ingrained in our brains for our whole lives. However, the educators were very knowledgeable, engaging, accessible, encouraging, and approachable. They truly wanted to see everyone succeed and were prepared to not only educate us on the curriculum content, but they also stepped up to coach us through all of the fears and tears.

Some of the content seemed to be delivered a little out of order in relation to our deliverables, but it all worked out in the end. The work is very intensive, but incredibly rewarding at the end. I would definitely do it over again. You will be amazed at how much you can learn and accomplish in such a short time. - AnonymousGraduate • User Experience Design • TorontoFeb 17, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Intense and Rewarding!
What an experience! To anyone who is looking to make a career pivot/change/reimagining, I would recommend Brainstation. Not only do they have passionate educators and relevant curricula, but a dedicated career support centre to help you with your career transition.

It was definitely not a easy journey to go through, but with the support from instructors and friends you will meet here will help you, encourage you to finish it, and you will actually getting the skills you want. - AnonymousStudent • Python • TorontoFeb 16, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Too slow and introductory
The python certificate course was a bit too slow and introductory for me. Furthermore, a lot of the pre-material that should've been completed (i.e. setup of anaconda, jupyter notebooks) were not done by most students, and ended up delaying the first class by a lot of time. The instructors were well-spoken and knew a lot about the language and frameworks. However, there were too many questions (repeated ones) and students sharing their screens to solve their specific problem as we went t...The python certificate course was a bit too slow and introductory for me. Furthermore, a lot of the pre-material that should've been completed (i.e. setup of anaconda, jupyter notebooks) were not done by most students, and ended up delaying the first class by a lot of time. The instructors were well-spoken and knew a lot about the language and frameworks. However, there were too many questions (repeated ones) and students sharing their screens to solve their specific problem as we went through the class that delayed and took away from the class content and pace (i.e. spent 30 minutes reviewing BEDMAS). I felt it would've been better if there were 1:1's set up with these students after the class or separate breakout rooms with one of the instructors during the class while the other instructor continued teaching.
