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.
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.

Excellent professors and comprehensive content
I did the part time data science boot camp and I had a great experience with it. The professors were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The content has a heavy emphasis on machine learning - once you get a handle on data analysis with SQL and Python, you dive into ML very thoroughly and spend much of the rest of the bootcamp on it. After, there is a relatively short unit on big data manipulation using services like AWS. That was very useful, however, it was very much an intro to AWS as...I did the part time data science boot camp and I had a great experience with it.

The content has a heavy emphasis on machine learning - once you get a handle on data analysis with SQL and Python, you dive into ML very thoroughly and spend much of the rest of the bootcamp on it. After, there is a relatively short unit on big data manipulation using services like AWS. That was very useful, however, it was very much an intro to AWS as opposed to a thorough course like the coverage of data analysis and ML. There was also a brief overview of bash/command line and git. They did a great job covering the essentials of the field in the 8-month program. - AnonymousProduct Manager • Student • Digital Marketing Course • MiamiSep 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Digital Marketing Course: Comprehensive & Collaborative
Recently, I completed a Digital Marketing course at BrainStation, and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. The professor was truly exceptional. He not only displayed in-depth knowledge and expertise in the subject matter but also fostered an environment ripe for class participation. There were moments in the course where certain concepts were challenging for some of us, but the patience and thoroughness with which he explained ensured that no one was left behind. His commitment...Recently, I completed a Digital Marketing course at BrainStation, and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. The professor was truly exceptional. He not only displayed in-depth knowledge and expertise in the subject matter but also fostered an environment ripe for class participation. There were moments in the course where certain concepts were challenging for some of us, but the patience and thoroughness with which he explained ensured that no one was left behind. His commitment to our understanding truly stood out.
If there were one aspect I'd suggest for improvement, it would be to allow students to work on their final presentations during class time. While the project was primarily expected to be completed from home, having some dedicated in-class time would promote a more collaborative environment and ensure that tasks align closely with the project's expectations.
Nevertheless, I highly recommend BrainStation to anyone seeking a comprehensive grasp of digital marketing. The value of having such a dedicated professor leading the way is immeasurable - AnonymousStudent • Digital Marketing Course • TorontoSep 13, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
This course is a great jumping off point for all things digital marketing!
This digital marketing bootcamp is the perfect overview of all things in the field. As someone new to the digital marketing sphere, I feel well-equipped to dive in further. I would suggest really taking advantage of the instructors as a resource and taking the course seriously! It is not just a great thing to add to your resume, it's an awesome experience to grow your knowledge base. And the take aways can be applied to so many different fields of work! - AnonymousStudent • Data Analytics Course Online • OnlineSep 12, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Data Analytics
I think this class is a good primer but would be improved by greater focus in labs v. instruction. The labs are rushed and difficult to gain practical knowledge in. I think in order to be proficient in any of these tools I would need to take another class that delved deeper into the tools. Maria was a great resource and very helpful and knowledgable. - AnonymousStudent • Data Analytics Course Online • OnlineSep 12, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Data Analytics
The course was great! I learned a lot about SQL and tableau. However, I thought that we would do a lot more analysis and less excel formulas in the first little bit of the course. I think I would have benefited from learning a lot more on modeling of data, and interpreting data visually. It was very helpful though! Will look forward to any more courses that I take from BrainStation. I will definitely apply my knowledge in my future endeavors. - AnonymousGraduate • User Experience Design Course • New York CitySep 11, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

The teachers worked relentlessly and were very supportive most of the time. The teachers were also supported by a very knowledgable teacher assistant. The mission is to give you as much information as possible in 12 weeks and make you work in as many projects as possible to include in your portfolio. What it is not told you is that you are expected to dedicate yourself full time including the weekends, meaning you won't have much time for doing anything else in your life besides work. There are times with multiple deadlines or with very laborious ones that actually take longer than expected and you'll often feel frustrated and behind. You can book in 15 minutes, one to one slots with the teachers but I found this to be very insufficient and always in a rush. The premises of the school are not quite inspiring, bland white and with serious acoustic issues inside and outside the classrooms. The ergonomy of the classrooms is very bad - the whiteboards locations in the classrooms simply don't work being located on side walls with impossible visibility, the chairs are too big and clunky and there are plug batteries scattered all over the floor. One negative point is you are rushed to leave school at 6p.m as there are other courses and multiple events happening with the main purpose of market the school to prospective students, so if you want to work longer hours you have to go somewhere else. Beware of the marketing techniques of selling being in the middle of Shoreditch and of the tech community - this is totally irrelevant when you don't have time to do anything but work. The long awaited Demo Day when students are showing off their projects is unfortunately quite voided of hiring managers from companies. There are plenty of shady caracthers you are not really sure what they are there for. Showing off the project to people outside of the school community was however a good training experience. Overall, it's a great experience but not without flaws. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp • VancouverSep 08, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Course Curriculum:
The program itself is very well-structured, with a clear connection between lectures. It starts from the basics and progresses seamlessly to advanced data science topics. The curriculum is also regularly updated to align with recent industry developments, such as the algorithms behind ChatGPT, among others. The materials provided, along with external links to further expand our knowledge, were valuable additions. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the course structure.
Faculties:
The educators are exceptionally friendly and approachable. They make a concerted effort to simplify complex concepts for better understanding. Despite the program's intensity, they consistently motivate us to stay on track toward our goals and provide continuous feedback throughout the bootcamp. Additionally, having a Teaching Assistant (TA) was a valuable resource for us to seek assistance with questions or any capstone-related inquiries.
Professional Development:
Finally, the career support team equipped us with numerous tips to excel during the job search process, from refining our resumes to developing essential communication skills for interviews. They also conducted workshops from time to time, allowing us to practice and improve these skills.
