    I love the flexible pace online study, the content is hands-on and the instructors are helpful with industrial experience and knowledge.

    I really enjoyed this UX Design program, it has a great balance between theoretical knowledge and practical techniques. The instructors Andrew and Bardia are responsive, responsible and constructive. Will definitely recommend to people who are interested in UX Design.

    A great first step into web development

    The online web development course at BrainStation was a great way to start my education in this field of study. The educators took their time to explain the essential concepts of web development and also made time to help anyone that needed more help. The interactive aspect was great as it helped me to address anything I didn't understand right away and avoid any confusion and frustration. I also enjoyed the ability to attend class from the comfort of my own home. It was very convenient....

    Amazing educators

    I was a slow learner and truly thought I couldn’t make it through. But the educators were amazingly encouraging and sweet and helpful!  I was at some point feeling discouraged because of the grades but they told me they would help me with anything I I need to revise (Keep pushing!!!!!) and I push and my baby capstone came out just like that (woo!) Highly recommend it if you are looking for encouraging friendly educators. Don't worry if you are a slow learner, you will survive in this UX ...

    I like how confident, humble, and patient our instructors are. They outsource from most updated documentations. Exercises are pretty practical and diverse that anyone from different walks of life can have their own take homes and apply it to their jobs.

    Great foundational Course

    The Brainstation is a great foundation to be introduced to the topic or to entrepreneurs. Covers all topics from SEO to social media. Good for people who never worked in marketing. DO not take this course if you are already working in the field. I like the brainstation vibe overall. Great learning opportunity.

    Awesome experience

    This bootcamp was extremely enjoyable, tough and rewarding. 

    What was it like?
    Lots of lessons, advice, coaching and support.  We were assigned a LOT of work and we were each pushed to our individual limits – our teachers were determined to get the most out of us.  But we were motivated, due to the camaraderie and support.

    At the start of the course, I thought I would fail because I wouldn't be able to work hard enough.  But I was given lots of support, and the environme...

    Great insights

    It's a great way to get introduced to Product Management. If you have been working with Product Managers as a technical, creative or sales person, but wondered what is it that they actually do. In this course you can gain great knowledge of the skill set, tools and "how to" of Product Managers.

    Great introduction to data analytics

    This course was a really good first step into data analytics, covering advanced Excel, beginner SQL, and Tableau. The instructor and TA were great at conveying concepts and were patient in answering questions. Homework assignments were good practice for getting more comfortable with the material, and we always went over the answers in the following class. This one course isn't enough to prepare you for a data analytics career, but it is a really solid first step. Would recommend!

    Good starting point, great environment

    It was a great experience taking Data Analytic course in Brainstation and improving my SQL skill. However, I would improve the content. There are some slides in the content that are not much helpful. Instead, I would devote the time to practice in class.
