    Excellent UX/UI immersive program!

    This course is designed to teach all aspects of UX/UI and empowers students with the practical skills that employers are looking for. I’m not going to lie, it is intense and requires full-time dedication, but you will learn so much if you put the effort in! The biggest pluses for me were the multitude of projects, the variety of software used, and the opportunities to collaborate with the web dev cohort. You will also have various design assets to feature in your portfolio––which will be y...

    Social Media Marketing at BrainStation

    I recently completed the Social Media Marketing course at BrainStation and absolutely loved the experience - I have a background in Digital Marketing but wanted to brush up on my knowledge of Social Media from a business perspective, as well as learn more about paid advertising and analytics. 

    The course covered a wide range of topics, from creating compelling ads and copy to measuring campaign success. I felt the number of topics covered throughout the course was appropriate for...

    Data Analytics

    I recently finished the Data Analytics course with BrainStation and had a great experience! 

    This course was a great foundation to all those who would like to learn more about or am looking at a career change into the field of analytics. It was interesting to hear all the real life examples shared by the instructors and classmates. There were also a lot of opportunities to gain hands on experience using SQL and Tableau.

    Would recommend this course to all prospective stu...

    Freelance Web Developer & Project Management Consultant

    I graduated from Wyncode as part of Cohort 16 in late 2017, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. 

    Walking into the campus fills you with energy, and every member of the staff is friendly, helpful, and accessible. From the time that you come into contact with the school and even far after graduation, they foster a sense of community and support that I have not experienced anywhere else.

    Almost two years later and the Founders still remember me by a fi...

    Great teachers and content

    BrainStation has awesome industry experts, working in that exact field, teaching the courses. I found it really helpful to get not only the practical content but also what it would realistically be like in application. 

    My only concern is that you’re not able to download lecture slides/content, so make sure you take really good notes and/or screen shot where needed so you have the info to reference in the future.

    Great experience with the UXUI program!

    My experience at Wyncode has been great! The top factor for me is the professor, Gessica, who does an incredible job educating and supporting students. She's flexible in schedule, and responsive and adaptaive to the concerns and needs of her students. She's also makes it a fun time! I learned so much about UXUI and having the 3 projects to work through in the curriculum are great assests for your final portfolio when job searching.  The Wyncode space itself is full of energy and fosters co...

    Shannon Thorndyke is an angel in real life. Coming into the digital marketing course I already had some background knowledge on the core concepts but Shannon filled in all knowledge gaps I had. She is an amazing communicator and makes you feel comfortable asking questions you may not feel comfortable asking elsewhere. She did an amazing job engaging the classroom and starting conversations that I think were beneficial to everyone no matter the experience level. Is Shannon worth the cost of...

    Highly recommend Product Management course at BrainStation

    I was very impressed BrainStation’s part time Product Management course. 

    Andy Woo and Keith Dell were fantastic instructors -- they were always engaging with a vast knowledge of product management, and used real world examples from their workplace or otherwise to explain concepts.  Given that the course was a limited amount of time, I felt that the instructors spent the right amount of time and the concepts that mattered.  

    Our outside of class work was manageable and ...

    Social Media Marketing Course

    Wow! This was so fun and informative. The instructors use the curriculum to guide you through designing a paid campaign for social, step by step. There's so much more to it that Facebok and Instagram. The whole experience was really focused, starting with core marketing principals and then getting into the nitty-gritty of how to segment audiences, write great copy, choose imagery, and budget for the ad on all the different platforms.  It was all reflected really well in the students' final...

    Great Experience at 2-Day Design Thinking Training

    I took the 2-Day Design Thinking Training at the new BrainStation campus in NYC, and had a wonderful experience! The course was truly collaborative, hands-on, and comprehensive – and the intimate class size and both knowledgeable and approachable instructor made for a really rich learning environment. After the 2-days, I left the training with a comprehensive understanding of design thinking, and was able to apply what I had learned in my day-to-day job. After 8 years in the industry, this...
