It's quite hard to put into words how grateful I feel for BrainStation! When I first started looking into bootcamps I was a little bit sceptical about the concept of becoming a "Software Developer" in just 12 weeks.
However, after having finished the bootcamp just now I am more than just blown away.

When I first started looking into bootcamps I was a little bit sceptical about the concept of becoming a "Software Developer" in just 12 weeks.
However, after having finished the bootcamp just now I am more than just blown away. Everything felt super professional from the first calls with the learning advisor, to the interview process, curriculum, and teachers. Massive appreciation go out to Andrew, and Jon who have been our instructors for the past 12 weeks and Jigar (our teaching assistant) who has always helped us with other coding related issues.
It's astonishing to see how well the instructors were able to break down complex topics to make them more digestable. To give you an example, during one of our group projects (group of four), Jon even offered to help us out on the weekend in case we get stuck. I think this just shows how much passion and motivation the instructors at BrainStation have.
I'm more than confident now that I have acquired all the skills to land a job as a junior software developer. Thank You again BrainStation for making all of this possible!!- Eva WieckowskaUX Designer • Graduate • User Experience Design Bootcamp • TorontoNov 10, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Hard, intense, rewarding, meaningful, fun

Best Learning Experience by far!
At first I was skeptical because there would be a lot of information and lessons taught within a very small timeframe. But I came to realize once I started my first week that the educators were all very nice and approachable.

The lessons are broken down in a way that is easy to follow with very minor bumps (like learning Javascript for the first time). The bootcamp is very hands-on with the projects and each project is broken into sprints each week that corresponds to the specific lessons within that week.
The educators were all great and professional. They always took the time to make sure you know what you should know. They empathize with you and your position in your career transformation. They are very knowledgeable and sometimes take time away from school time just to help out with a problem.
I was first worried about some of my classmates being way too advanced in terms of knowledge, but turns out most of them are just starting a new career change with you. They are all supportive and always take time to help anyone in need.
If you're skeptical about educators and your potential cohorts, don't be because majority are very supportive. Everyone just wants everyone to succeed, whether it be your educators or fellow classmates. And who knows, you might be able to make a few friends out of it! - Zack RichardGraduate • Part-Time Web Development Bootcamp Online • OnlineNov 10, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Amazing!
Great instructors, very human approach, extremely challenging at times, but definitely worth your time! Some projects seem impossible to produce in such a short time, but the educators really have our backs. One of the biggest takeaways from the bootcamp is definitely that programming is a TEAM SPORT, which was very eye-opening for me. - UdemezueGraduate • Python • OnlineNov 04, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Waste 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

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!
