It has been 2 years since I graduated Brainstation's Full TIme Web Development program and I can say definitevely after 2 years that it was a mistake to attend. I was able to get a part time job based on the Career support they provided but ultimately was told by the employer that it was never going to be a full time role. From there, I did a heavy amount of job hunting, but companies don't have a lot of respect for Brainstation graduates it turns out. I was told there was a big difference...
It has been 2 years since I graduated Brainstation's Full TIme Web Development program and I can say definitevely after 2 years that it was a mistake to attend. I was able to get a part time job based on the Career support they provided but ultimately was told by the employer that it was never going to be a full time role. From there, I did a heavy amount of job hunting, but companies don't have a lot of respect for Brainstation graduates it turns out. I was told there was a big difference between Brainstation grads and grads from schools like Lighthouse Labs, and it led me to talking to other graduates from other Brainstation cohorts and realizing that many other grads were in my situation. We evenstarted a group called BS education to help eachother and we now have over 40 graduates all of which have had a tough time getting jobs and needing to take more courses to become more employable.
The curriculum at the time seemed to lack of a lot of depth and just touch on topics. The teachers are actually great, and I know grads of other programs of theirs have done quite well, but at this point the web development program is known as a weaker curriculum than almost any other one.
I chose to write this review because I saw that BS came out with an job report and while the 88% rate they boast for the program sounds great, it includes people getting jobs that have nothing to do with development and part time jobs as well. I didn't appreciate what I felt was misinformation and so decided to write a review on here after hearing that this is where a lot of bootcamp students make the choice of joining.
