    Amazing experience

    The course was thorough and the instructors were brilliant in their teachings. They shared how things work in a real-life PM job.
    It would be better if there was more assistance from BrainStation on the job hunt process or connecting to the hiring partners.

    informative, practical but relatively heavy

    I had a good experience with the Digital Marketing course. The instructors are nice and dedicated. The lessons are practical, helpful and informative. However, there's a lot of information to digest in 3 hours so it felt a little overwhelming at times. If you take time reviewing the materials, you will develop good knowledge for digital marketing.

    Great Experience

    It was a great 8 weeks. Andrea is amazing instructor and I love how she brings her own professional experience often. This helps understand the material better. I wish it was a little longer and a bit more in-depth. It felt like we were flying through some classes and had to cut short some amazing conversations and debates we had. Maybe 10 weeks length worked better? But overall great experience and I'm glad  I was able to do it in person.

    Product Management at Brainstation

    This was a great experience for me! As someone without a tech background I was able to learn the key aspects of a product management role and explore what a career in tech would look like.

    The teachers were amazing and I was able to trully learn about product management from their real-life experience examples.

    Social Media Marketing Course Brainstation

    This marketing course was very interesting to take. The material was easy to understand so much so that I felt like I knew most of it with some basic google searching. If I had to break it down 60% I knew about social media and 40% I did not. While this is true I think it helps with myself to know that the research I was looking up was true. What I like is the accelerated course aspect. I learned material in a month that would probably take a whole college semester which I believe is abo...
