- Top-Class Program + People- 12/17/2019Ali Jamali • Graduate • Course: Web Development Diploma Program • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedIn
The BrainStation family has been a tremendous part of my life in the very short amount of time I had the pleasure of being with them. In mere twelve weeks I went from having no knowledge of web development and programming, to being incredibly confident with HTML, CSS, SASS, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Express, MySQL, and Sequelize, as part of our curriculum. In addition to this official tech stack, my peers and instructors helped me in learning MongoDB, and how to use aspects of the AWS & Heroku cloud infrastructures to deploy my projects.
I could never have achieved this on my own, and even if I somehow managed to do it, I would have completely missed out on the quality of education and the opportunities that BrainStation afforded me. Because BrainStation does not simply show you how to code — we were tested with whiteboarding sessions twice per week, and completed our assignments in the agile development method - the industry standard. Additionally, we participated in cross-disciplinary hackathons, toured offices of top tech companies in Vancouver, and regularly had them pay visits to our classroom to deliver lectures on their work. We also had regular career planning talks, lectures, etc; and last but certainly not least, we had our Demo Day with dedicated for industry recruiters and the who's who of the tech scene in Vancouver.
I must admit that before I signed up for BrainStation, I was concerned if it was as good as it sounds. I was especially concerned about the quality of education that I would receive. But as I came to find out: every single person I dealt with during my time at BrainStation, from admissions, to admin, to career support, is nothing but extremely professional and knowledgable about what they are doing. The teaching staff especially blew me away at how fantastic they are at their jobs. I can confidently say that my main instructor at BrainStation is amongst my top 3 teachers/professors I have ever had, and the TAs are better than any TA I have had at UBC.
I simply cannot recommend the Web Development Diploma Program at BrainStation enough.
- You Will Amaze Yourself- 1/15/2021Matt • Graduate • Course: Web Development • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInI came to the Web Development program at BrainStation from a design background. I had some experience with HTML and CSS, but no broader or deeper understandings of web technologies. The pace of the program is fast, and there were moments of feeling like I wouldn't be able to keep up. However, whenever I would stop to reflect on where I was the week before, I was consistently amazed at how much ground I had covered in such a short amount of time.
There are so many technologies and ideologies out there. It would be impossible for programs like those delivered at BrainStation to cover it all. The beauty of BrainStation is that it reveals to you just how much you can do. After completing the program, I now have the confidence to know that if I need to learn a new web technology quickly, I absolutely can.
Pros
Community mindset, confidence in independent learning, rich resources
Cons
There will be more than a few late nights / early mornings depending on your sleep schedule.
- Best investment I've ever made- 1/15/2021Misael Ortiz • Digital Marketer | Project Manager • Graduate • Course: Digital Marketing Diploma Program • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInMy experience as a BrainStation student was one of the best experiences in my life.
2020 was a year that could be defined with the word change. Like so many other people around the world, I was challenged by the pandemic and lost my job due to covid. Learning about digital marketing had been in my mind for years now, but it was one of those things that I didn't pursue before because of time, routine, being comfortable at work, etc.
The overall experience was very positive, starting with the learning advisors that made the time to answer every question I had and really walked me through the whole process step by step.
The program was fast-paced. I can't emphasize this enough. This is a challenging program that requires your full attention and dedication. I understand every student is different, but in my case, this was the only thing I was able to work on during those 3 months. Between lectures and working on my projects I probably spent around 60 hours per week. The program was challenging but in a very positive way. At first, I was a little bit intimidated by it, especially after 13 years since I attended school, but I was able to adapt very quickly with the support of my educators, my classmates, and family.
I would define my overall experience taking this program as "the perfect storm", (right timing, right educators, and right classmates). The educators (Josh Muirhead and Justin Lowe) were amazing, both of them leaders in their area of expertise and now with a commitment to share their knowledge in order to help shape a new generation of digital marketers. Learning from them was one of the most rewarding experiences during this time.
The instructors' styles of teaching were very different but in my opinion, I feel we received a very well-balanced learning experience. The content was relevant, the examples they used were always current with what's happening in the industry, and we were always encouraged to seek extra sources of information to stay updated with newer digital marketing trends.
The introduction of the capstone project wasn't only a perfect exercise to apply everything that we learned throughout the course but also the perfect output to start our own portfolio to use for potential job opportunities.
I could continue describing what my experience or my day to day was like during this time, but all I can say is that this was the best investment I've ever made.
- UX Design Course Review- 1/3/2021Michael Caracozza • Senior Scrum Master / Release Train Engineer • Student • Course: User Experience Design Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI’ve taken two courses (UX Design and Product Management) and can’t recommend it highly enough. The instructors for their courses are world class, who are experts in their respective fields, so much of what they are teaching they have real-life experience in. Most instructions also work at some of the best tech companies around. They’re great at providing guidance about best practices for getting into the field and answering any questions between classes. I also found the online live course format to be an excellent option, which was not only convenient, but also provided a great platform to complete the required course work each week. The final projects are built upon weekly acquired knowledge all of which builds towards a full understanding of the topic by the course’s end. Really great courses for anyone looking to gain some new skills or learn about new technology topics.
- Great Learning Experience!- 12/24/2020Lamya Ezzeldin • Product Manager • Graduate • Course: Product Management Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI had 3 great learning experiences at BrainStation, both in person and online live. Most recently, I completed the 5 week Product Management course. In this case, I was gearing up for a career switch into the tech industry, and I just got hired as a PM (not knowing very much about what the role involved). Without a doubt, the course at BrainStation helped me develop a foundation I needed to be successful in my career switch.
One thing that's consistent about all BrainStation courses is their focus on keeping the curriculum current and updated with all the developments and digital skills required in industry. They provided a great overview on PM processes as well as real-life examples from our instructors (who actually work as Product leaders in industry). I found that the reading I was doing on my own complemented the course material very well.
Also, as with all BrainStation courses, there is emphasis placed on applying skills through a project. I think this is where I derived the most value from the course. There is a lot of theory and processes in Product Management, and it differs between companies, but I found that going through the project enabled me to begin to form my own "philosophy" and unique approach to PM.
I would certainly recommend this course to anybody starting off as a PM and encourage them to couple the course content with some independent reading on PM. I would be ready for 2-4 hours of extra work per week on the course project as well. Also, take advantage of the close, small-class environment (even online) and reach out to other classmates and engage with the instructors both in class and on Slack.
- Loved PM @ Brainstation- 12/21/2020Nicole M Rogers • Course: Product Management • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInI took the 10 week Brainstation Product Management course virtually (through their Online Live platform) over the course of the Fall - finishing up this December. It was the perfect thing to do on dark Tuesday evenings in a pandemic. This was my second Brainstation course and highly recommend it if you’re looking to familiarize yourself with PM concepts. I’ve been a PMM before, so I was familiar with many of the units covered in class from observing PM’s on the job, however, I never really had the opportunity to practice them myself. In order to complete the course, you have to do a project - either alone or in a group - and present your Go-to-Market strategy (though the presentation part is not mandatory). I found myself looking forward to spending time on the project and it’s really the best way to actually absorb the content. I feel confident that I could apply my learnings to real-life situations, either on the job or in a job interview. I learnt more in these 10 weeks than the last year+ of reading product management and agile methodology books.
- Web Development Review- 12/18/2020Claudia D. • Graduate • Course: Web Development Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInThis was my second course with BrainStation and I'm thrilled that I was able to take it. As a content marketer, I had little to none web development or programming experience but knew that it would be beneficial to my career to have some knowledge in the field.
Over the course of ten weeks, I have completed the Web Development Online Live course. From joining the class with limited knowledge on the subject to building a responsive webpage from scratch using HTML and CSS, it was an awesome way to level up my skills while learning from home. I highly recommend the course for anyone looking to take their first steps into web development.
- Brainstation Data Science course- 12/14/2020Tabrina Loch-Williams • Graduate • Course: Data Science • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInThis was my third course with Brainstation and the second I've taken through the Online Live platform. I've always enjoyed that the instructors have industry experience and can offer practical advice, along with theory. I found my instructors engaging and tried their best to make the course content understandable. I will say, if you do not have a background in statistics, this course may be more difficult for you. I personally didn't have a background in statistics, so the latter half of the course was challenging. Despite that, I definitely learned a lot and was able to complete my final project and receive my certificate.
- 10 Week Web Development Course- 12/11/2020Josh Cavric • Graduate • Course: Web Development Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedIn
Over the past ten weeks I completed the Web Development Online Live course through BrainStation. Coming into the program, I did not have a web dev or programming background and found that it wasn't a prerequisite to be successful in the program. In the span of 10 weeks I went from having no knowledge to being able to build a fully responsive web page with HTML and CSS. I've since been able to extend this learning to my job in ways I never would have thought possible. The instructor was engaging and a true industry practitioner. Highly recommend for those who are looking to take their first steps into web programming.
- Product Management- 12/4/2020Dylan Hebb • Senior Consultant • Graduate • Course: Product Management Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI've had nothing but excellent experiences with BrainStation courses. The instructors are from reputable companies, they really care about the instruction, and there are tons of like-minded people that you are able to collaborate with. I cannot recommend BrainStation classes enough.
- Full Time Data Science Diploma- 12/4/2020Kris Wu • Graduate • Course: Data Science • Campus: Vancouver • Verified via LinkedInGreat experience!
- BrainStation Data Science Diploma- 12/3/2020Brooke Nichols • N/A • Graduate • Course: Data Science Diploma Program Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI enjoyed my time getting my data science diploma. It was a fun fast three months where I learned many new skills to make a career transfer. Someone is almost always available to answer your questions even if you have a lot of them. They provide a lot of information both in class and outside of class through slides, notes, articles and recommendations for further study. It was a great three months. Some things were learned quickly. Be prepared to continue learning things on your own time and be ready to absorb things quickly.
- Data Analytics- 11/30/2020Roxana • Graduate • Course: Data Analytics • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInI enjoyed taking the Data Analytics course because I wanted to have a deep understanding of how data can help many industries when analyzing data. Ryan Del Bel and Tatiana Sorokina were great instructors. They were thorough with the information they provided and always stayed after class ended to explain anything anyone didn't understand. I highly recommend the course with Ryan and Tatiana!
