    HELPFUL, INFORMATIVE, JAM-PACKED DIGITAL MARKETING COURSE

    Opened up a whole new field of interest to me as a professional communicator/marketing writer.  Because of this course, I will be pursuing other Brainstation options.  The courses are first-rate but intensive.   They are well recognized within my field of high tech.

    Industry relevant and hands-on course

    The UX Design course was a great way to learn about the industry, technical skills and tools. By the end of the course, I was equipped with the knowledge and technical skills to start networking and build a portfolio. The instructors tie each lessons with real-world examples and offered as much help and advice as possible. The project component in the course really brings together everything you've learnt in class and a good opportunity to test your knowledge.

    Fun interesting collaborative

    I really enjoyed my experience at Brainstation. I got to learn about the key concepts in product management, definitions, frameworks, how to prioritize, and how to thinking about problems and solutions related to products.

    It was great meeting people from similar or different backgrounds. 

    Andrea and Giuliano are so genuine , knowledgeable and great at sharing real life experiences.

    Great insights into learning UX research methods!

    The program deep-dives into different user research methods and gives a sneak peek into all the processes that are required to become a UX Designer. The learning experience has been great and the teachers help understand complicated concepts by presenting real-life solutions.

    Good Intro to UX Design

    Overall it was a really good experience! I missed 2 classes in a row due to travel so that kind of set me behind, which means I was kind of scrambling to get my final project done, but the course delivered what I expected from it, which was more of an introduction to the tools and methodologies of UX Design. It was a good enough taste to give me an idea of whether or not a career in UX design is something I want to pursue, so thanks!

    BrainStation Data Analytics Course - Amazing class!

    I am beyond thrilled about my experience in BrainStation's NYC Data Analytics 10 week course. My teachers were incredibly knowledgeable and patient (shout out to Nathan Feifel and Wesley Pyen)! The class was structured in a way that fostered in depth growth, but also allowed us to work on our own and practice if we wanted.  I learned about excel basics, but then dived into SQL, Tableau, and then Data visualization. I loved how we were able to work on our final projects for a bit in class...

    I was a housewife before I attend this bootcamp. Everything is so new and fast-paced. Luckily, I came up with a very nice cohort. Educators are so knowledgeable and helpful. TA's assistance are so prompt and effective. I enjoyed not only the learning process but also the way I cooperated with my classmates. There are some hackers who are always willing to help. There are also green hands like me who encouraged me a lot. We had gone through the days with many lectures and difficult projec...

    Awesome learning experience at BrainStaion

    I just finished three courses at BrainStation (Digital Marketing, SEM and Social Media Marketing) and I loved it. Great instructors who share a lot of real-life experiences and support you all the way through. One of the highlights of this learning experience was presenting a comprehensive strategy and final project in each course to the class and learning from their feedback.

    I highly recommend BrainStation!
