    Helped me build practical skills that I can apply immediately

    The BrainStation Product Management course gave me a complete toolkit for approaching product development with confidence. The content was well-structured and covered everything from defining a problem statement to creating an MVP and preparing a go-to-market strategy. What made the course stand out, though, was the incredible teaching team. Scott and Ivan went above and beyond to ensure we truly understood each concept. Their feedback on our projects was thorough and actionable, and the...

    Great way to get into the industry

     I had a great experience at the BrainStation Data Science Bootcamp. The courses were detailed, relevant, and highly hands-on. We were taught industry-level skills that are applicable to the real-world job market, unlike some outdated material still taught at certain universities. The educators, TAs, and career success team were knowledgeable and supportive, ensuring that everyone received the help they needed both during and after the bootcamp. The connections I made and the collaborati...

    Fast-paced, Organized and Diverse

    Great boot camp, you learn a lot for the short time it lasts. Instructors are very cool, always interacting with students and helping out with their projects. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to up their skills in coding and web dev but notices that is also a very challenging BootCamp and requires some time aside to learn and develop these skills.

    Great experience so far

    Great content, very friendly instructors. I already had technical background when I joined the bootcamp, I joined the bootcamp because I needed more hands-on experience with real-world data.

    Can't still say much about the career assistance as I just finished it, but I feel confident and I am proud of the projects I built during it.

    BrainStation was an exceptional experience that provided an excellent introduction and development for UX design. The course was structured in a way that was both demanding and manageable, with excellent instructors willing to provide ample support. For anyone interested and passionate for learning UX I can not recommend BrainStation enough.

    I really enjoyed the instructors and I felt like they really cared not only about our work and performance but about us as students and our mental wellbeing.  The program is difficult but the instructors want you to succeed and it’s reflected in their checkups and time they are willing to work with students.

    Comprehensive Digital Marketing Course

    My experience at BrainStation Miami’s Digital Marketing course was exceptional. The curriculum was incredibly comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics from SEO and PPC to social media and email marketing. While the sheer amount of information was at times overwhelming, the instructors were industry experts who wove their own experiences into the lessons, making the course manageable and engaging.
