I just finished Wyncode’s second cohort, and I am happy to say that the quality of my instructors and the curriculum exceeded my expectations! Ed Toro, the lead instructor, is one of the most knowledgeable people in the industry. I am thankful to have been supported by such a knowledgeable and helpful group of Teaching Assistants, especially Frank. I graduated with a business degree from Florida International University with no coding experience. I recognized the need, however, for the skills taught by Wyncode in the Miami market and took the leap of faith with an open mind. I spent countless hours of hard work in the LAB, and the Wyncode staff was with me every step of the way. Upon graduation, I secured a full time position as a junior developer at an exciting, forward thinking company, and I am forever grateful to Wyncode for making it possible.

Miami tech - Wyncode is the best way to get involved
Miami tech is for real. Start-ups and established companies have an appetite for new developers in South Florida and Wyncode is the best way to get involved.
I am a member of Wyncode's inaugural cohort and the value of my experience has continued to grow beyond the course content.

Miami tech is for real. Start-ups and established companies have an appetite for new developers in South Florida and Wyncode is the best way to get involved.
I am a member of Wyncode's inaugural cohort and the value of my experience has continued to grow beyond the course content.
Here are the ways in which Wyncode has enriched my life and why Wyncode is the best place for anyone with the ambition and ability to achieve greatness:
(1) technical foundation // Wyncode provides a foundation in technical skills for web development. Course content is comprehensive for what is necessary to start a career as a developer. The instructors are proven professionals in their fields and are devoted to providing the necessary attention to each student.
(2) business fundamentals and product development // Writing code is powerful, but is only one aspect of what makes a business prosper. Wyncode supplements their technical instruction with teaching business fundamentals, particularly in the scope of rapid product cycles that are relevent in fast-growing companies. "Lean startup" and "agile product management" are given just attention to ensure that Wyncode graduates can relate their work in the context of a business strategy. These elements are important to understand as a job candidate and offer a way to gain an edge when entering the tech work force.
(3) relationships in the tech community // Wyncode has a powerful network of technology professionals who are influential, inspirational, and impactful. Students have privileged access to members of that network, which is a meaningful feature of the experience that is beyond the scope of a curriculum and cannot be replicated by an online course.
(4) post-graduate coaching and support // Experience and benefits provided by Wyncode does not end after the course is complete. Wyncode's leadership team, instructors, and alumni collectively ensure that all of its members get the coaching and support they need to fluorish.

Not worth the high cost.
Brainstation is way overpriced. You are only paying for the name and the certificate, which I need to find out how valuable that is in the UX/UI industry. Please do your research and seek out alternatives. Course instructors were not even knowledgeable, and watching them struggle with Figma was embarrassing. Would not recommend it, even for beginners, because you can find most of the course content online for free.

Great overview of UI Design
Brainstation team and tools are super professional. Their platform is good and makes learning engaging. The content touches most important aspects of UI Design, but it's a bit rushed. I with there was more time to dive deeper into the topics, without having to do individual research specially for Figma tutorials. But really happy with it and totally recommend specially if you don't have any UI design background. - AnonymousStudent • User Interface Design Online • OnlineMar 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
A Good Introduction
This course overall is a good introduction to User Interface design if you are very new to the field. The course material is not particularly challenging, but the coursework itself working towards a final project of a clickable prototype in Figma is quite a lot of work. The instructors are working in the field and have enough experience with the program to guide you through the development of the project and the course materials.

Fun, informative, well rounded
I took the cyber security certification course and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very informative and helpful to get a grasp of what cyber security is and what factors go into it. I would recommend this course to any beginners in the space to get a good foundation to build upon. - AnonymousApplicant • User Experience Design • VancouverMar 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

After completing a UX course, you can expect to have a better understanding of user research, information architecture, wire framing, prototyping, and usability testing. You'll also learn about design thinking, which is a problem-solving approach that is widely used in the industry.
One of the best things about UX courses is that they often include a hands-on project, such as creating your own case study. This is a great opportunity to apply what you've learned in a practical setting and showcase your skills to potential employers.
Overall, if you're interested in a career in UX, taking a course is an excellent first step. It will not only provide you with the foundational knowledge you need but also give you a chance to work on a project that demonstrates your skills and sets you apart from other job candidates. - AnonymousStudent • Product Management • TorontoMar 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great classroom experience and collaboration
I studied Product management and had a great experience in classroom setting. Content can be bit more detailed, it felt short of what I have seen my partner working on as product manager. The product strategy roadmap is great and I loved everyone's interaction sharing there experience from professional experience - AnonymousStudent • User Experience Design • TorontoMar 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Learned New Skills in a New Area!
the UX class at Brainstation was a great way to dip my toes into a new field of work. Working in product marketing, UX design has always been something I've been interested in but never knew anything about. After taking this course, I have a great idea of what this field of work entails, and have learned skills around empathy, process and creativity that I didn't have before. - AnonymousStudent • Data Analytics • New York CityMar 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Data Analytics Certificate Course
The instructors were so helpful and willing to guide the class based on the needs of the students. It moved at a quick pace, but there were a ton of options to practice your skills and ask for help as needed. - AnonymousGraduate • User Experience Design Bootcamp Online • OnlineMar 11, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Fun yet Hard Work!
This bootcamp was content-heavy with some unrealistic deadlines for projects, however, the instructors were always very responsive and open to helping you out. I could really tell that the instructors genuinely cared about the students and wanted to help and mentor them as much as possible, which felt really nice. I completed the part-time program, which lasted 8 months, but it really flew by!

The career accelerator workshops were also the cherry on top, especially if you want to change careers. They offer many insights into the industry and work with each student to put out the best resume and LinkedIn profile as much as possible. - AnonymousStudent • Digital Marketing • LondonMar 10, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
