    Machine Learning Course

    I have been hearing a ton about AI in the media and felt it was important to understand it at a deeper level. Having never written a line of code, I knew it would be a challenge for me but felt with the right instructor I could learn. After searching through many different schools in Toronto I finally chose Brainstation. I did the once a week Saturday full day courses and the instructor (Casey) was amazing. The course covered a very wide variety of topics including Neural networks, Gradien...

    Data Science Full Time Program

    It was an excellent program to jump-start your data science curiosity. I took the Data Science program and was introduced with many methods. Although each method was kind of brief, they should suffice in preparing you for further self-study after the course is done. I would say the notes (they call it labs) are amazing. They have many of case studies. Although they are not a complete manuals themselves, they are engaging to read through examples than reading based on solely the Python manu...

    Digital Business Analyst

    I attended BrainStation UX Design 5-week classroom certificate course. My trainer was Gerard and he had a tremendous industry experience. Since it was a UX Design course, my trainer focused on understanding the process of UX design. His intent, for us as student, was to make us aware about what are the steps of UX design and then follow them in order to arrive at the final design. The course objective was not to make us learn a particular tool but to know the process and that's how my trai...

    Product Management Course

    i just recently finished the online live Product Management course and I learned a tremendous amount about how to take a product idea from just a concept to launch. At first, I was skeptical about the online live classroom setting, but it was actually a great experience! The instructor, Ari, was very engaging and he was very straight forward. He taught the content very well and he was willing to take the time to discuss questions or ideas outside of class privately.

    User Experience Full Time Diploma Course

     

    I just recently finished the User Experience Full time diploma course at BrainStation last summer 2019 and to sum it up in one sentence “one of the best experiences ever!!” 

    Just for some background, I took the course during the summer before my last year of University and I could not be happier that I took the opportunity to join BrainStation. The whole experience definitely gave me the foundation and understanding of UX design which I was not able to learn in my tra...

    Accelerated Digital Marketing Course

    I recently completed the Digital Marketing course at Brainstation in Toronto. Wow. I will be candid when many colleagues and friends told me not to take a course at Brainstation, but rather to use free online learning tools. As a diehard classroom nerd, I am very satisfied with my choice to take the plunge and go to Brainstation. The course material was invaluable and the accelerated format really immersed you in the subject matter. The most valuable aspect for me was expanding my network ...

    Search Engine Optimization Training

    I just completed the 2-day Search Engine Optimization Training course and overall was very satisfied with the experience.

    Going into the course my goal was to learn a few quick SEO tips/tricks that I could apply to my own websites to help them rank higher on search engines. I ended up getting that and much more, including what SEO is actually about and a number of long-term strategies for optimizing my websites.

    The course was taught by an SEO professional who knew his ...

    SEO

    This was a 2 day online intensive SEO course.  I am located on the Westcoast and the course was based out of Toronto and other than the early start in my day, I had never participated in an online live experience before.  With a little technical glitch at the beginning on my end, the instructor Trevor helped me to sort it out and I quickly got up to speed.

    Learning at the highest level

    BrainsStation is high standards, high level training that prepares you for the real world. In line with mine, their primary objective is to get you ready to get a job in the field once the fast-track program is done.
