Wonderful learning experience
I've taken Python and Web Development courses at Brainstation since 2022. My first impression was the learning advisor that reached out to me and explained about the program and also payment plan. It took me less than a week to decide that I wanted to take the course. I started off with Web Development and it was a blast for me because I never code before but I always liked working with computers so I had so much fun learning it!

Fantastic and fresh learning experience
This course helped me to build on my previous education in User Experience design especially in strategy and usability testing.

Helpful primer
I came into this training as a relative data novice, with only a beginner-to-intermediate competence with Excel. I wanted to get exposure to a broader data analytics toolset so that I could work more effectively with the data analysts on my team. In 10 weeks, we tore through Excel, SQL and Tableau. At times it was overwhelming, but it all came together in the end. I can't say that I'm an expert by any stretch, but I have a much better understanding of how large datasets get analyzed ...I came into this training as a relative data novice, with only a beginner-to-intermediate competence with Excel.

And I'm able to more productively engage with our operations teams to drive better business analysis. - Fenton FlemingPhotographer • Graduate • Digital Marketing • LondonVerified by LinkedInJan 13, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Succinct introduction. Good, current, insights.
The course was pretty succinct and covered a good range of basics to get a good understanding of digital marketing and the breadth of it. The course leader was working in the industry at a high level and had many current insights into the industry which I found important as digital marketing is still very much in flux with new social media platforms, new laws and regulations from across the globe regarding cookies and privacy - which are very important when it comes to targeted marketing...The course was pretty succinct and covered a good range of basics to get a good understanding of digital marketing and the breadth of it. The course leader was working in the industry at a high level and had many current insights into the industry which I found important as digital marketing is still very much in flux with new social media platforms, new laws and regulations from across the globe regarding cookies and privacy - which are very important when it comes to targeted marketing (which is most, if not all digital marketing).
As someone that had as much experience and knowledge of digital marketing as the average consumer, I found the curriculum easy enough to grasp, although it was a lot of information at points. Particularly the beginning where the most previously unknown jargon would be thrown at you. But in time I optimised my learning by writing notes on what the instructor was saying that wasn't on the presentation slide and then going back after the lesson and revising my notes, filling in the gaps with what was on the slides.
After the first 4-5 lessons (of 10) it felt a bit less intense with information - in part because we moved onto specific social media and their characteristics (user base, purpose, etc.), some of which I knew to an extent, and partly because the fundamentals of digital marketing had been learnt. We then had time at the end of sessions to talk one on one about our final projects and get advice, something I should have capitalised on more.

High-level learning
I took the UX bootcamp and found it super helpful for high-level learning. No fluff. Just the stuff I needed to know. The instructors were AMAZING. Very supportive and well-informed on industry-standards. My classmates were incredible too and very supportive of each other.
