Shared Review
- Product Management Accelerated - Agile in practice!- 12/18/2019Erika Del Carmen Fuchs • Graduate • Course: Product Management • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedIn
I am still processing and learning after having completed a 1-week accelerated in-person Product Management course at BrainStation. I am so glad I took it as it was enriching and worth it in ways I didn’t even expect! I mean, who knew I would become so interested in Marketing as a result of taking this course.
I had had some exposure to Product Management concepts and aspects of it in my work already, but it really made a difference to my confidence and knowledge depth to take the course with other professionals, and taught by an instructor with a long trajectory in both larger well-known tech companies as well as startups. While some of the course was lecture-style, much of it was interactive and hands-on with teamwork and roleplaying with classmates from a variety of roles in small and large organizations (including product managers). I appreciated and learned from these immersive parts the most, as I got to apply the concepts with other team members by building an MVP (minimum viable product) pitch deck for a real-life problem. We even had to present the pitch at two different stages – and got really useful feedback!
I had some surprise learnings – I gained a deeper understanding and newfound appreciation of marketing, which including an introduction to product marketing. I liked digging deeper into how market research is carried out, why it’s so vital, to understanding a problem space and people's needs, and how it can differ from or overlap with user research.
As someone with a rich and diverse professional background, what I most appreciated was BOTH gaining new super-relevant skills AND seeing my existing critical thinking and design thinking abilities from a different perspective. I now better understand how I can leverage and build on these to ask the right kind of questions of users, colleagues and leaders, define problem spaces, make better and faster decisions, and work to build human-centered solutions that improve people’s lives. I loved having other classmates that work in different parts of tech, from a variety of different functions and disciplines. It made the discussions and teamwork even richer, and more applicable to different scenarios that come up in a product management role, or other role where this highly cross-functional skillset is essential! I would recommend this course to both seasoned professionals looking to pivot or enhance their careers or those in earlier stages of their careers.
- UX Design- 7/6/2020Daniela Garcia • Creative Services Project Manager • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInI enjoyed the experience and expertise the instructors brought to the table during every class.
It is a hands-on course that will require around 10 to 15 hours extra besides the 7-hour lesson.
I highly recommend you would be surprised by the amount of knowledge gathered in the span of 5 weeks.
- Data Science Online Certificate- 7/4/2020Ahmed Hossam Mohamed • Graduate • Course: Data Science • Campus: Vancouver • Verified via LinkedInOverall, I thought the program was great. It was very useful for utilizing live lectures (with an option of going on campus as well) where there is always the live interaction component, the engagement of asking questions, and specially getting quick answers is much more efficient than looking up questions online, which saves a lot of time. Overall, it is a different experience than a Bootcamp or a MOOC (These are great for building up the basic skills). Brainstation program gave me the opportunity to apply my skills, get evaluated on the spot, and communicate closely with more experienced members of the field, which gave me a great boost of confidence to know what to expect going forward in the career.
The most important stage in the Data Science methodology is Understanding, Pre-processing, and Transforming data. I have been heavily involved in topics that include utilizing Python for cleaning, and exploration of Data (formatting types, identifying outliers, dealing with missing data etc.), and other topics that focuses on Statistics, Probability and Hypothesis testing (A/B testing), and how they can all be brought together using Python Libraries and algorithms, to be later fed into a Machine Learning model
Creating my Machine Learning models including different Regressions, and Classifications (Naiive Bayes/Decision Trees/Random Forests) and using Neural Nets, was very rewarding, and was accompanied with Statistical Evaluations including Hypothesis Testing (T tests, P values etc.). My favorite part was to bring the entirety of the model, and shine its significance with delivering Data Stories and Insights, through interpretation of different variables, and comparing various measures (R2, MAE, MSE etc.).
In conclusion I highly recommend the program, but definitely it is recommended to have basics of Python and Statistics to dive into the course smoothly (They also provide some pre-requisites preparation course that come free with the course)
Good-luck and Happy Learning!
- Loved Product Management!- 7/2/2020Tomy Reyes • Graduate • Course: Product Management • Campus: Vancouver • Verified via LinkedInI came into this course quite excited to expand my knowledge on product management. I currently work within a scrum team as a developer and I believed I would come out of this course with a greater perspective of the overall product process.
I enjoyed all of the classes during this 10 week part-time program but if I were to choose a handful of topics we went over that were my favourite they would be learning how to define a value proposition, learning about Scrum and Kanban, how to build an MVP and how to build a roadmap for a product.
Throughout this course, each of us created and presented on a product while having the opportunity to learn from each other and apply what we learned in the classroom. I was really impressed the products my peers created and I was also impressed by the feedback I received from our instructor, Stewart Rogers.
Overall, I believe this course has been really beneficial to me and I can definitely take many of the ideas and lessons I learned to my day to day life as a developer. Stewart's experience in Product Management makes this class incredibly engaging. He was able to provide really great feedback and share stories and external resources to help articulate the course content further.
- Online Product Management- 6/30/2020Hasti Khaki • Student • Course: Product Management • Campus: Vancouver • Verified via LinkedInI took the 10-week Product Management course at BrainStation in Summer 2020. I have also taken Data Analytics in-person, which was a great experience, but taking this class online was a fantastic experience as well. As someone who works in high-tech, I was able to gain a lot of value from this course. The course material was relevant to the industry and designed to be practiced at work. My course had two instructors with two different backgrounds in Product Management and each brought their perspective and breadth of knowledge in Product Management to the course.
The class had an amazing support network and wasn’t only limited to Canadian students. I got to know talented people from the industry and learn from their practice.
I enjoyed my time in this course and I had valuable takeaways from the classes. Courses at BrainStation always exceed my expectations and I would highly recommend their classes to anyone who is interested to grow their career in the high-tech industry.
- User Experience Design- 6/27/2020Taylor • Project Manager • Student • Course: User Experience Design Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInThis UX Design course taught by Jenna Brucoli (Ogilvy) & Sarah Lee (Shopify) was unlike any online course I've taken! While I'd usually need to mentally prepare for the amount of self-discipline required for online learning, this class was different.
BrainStation's learning platform, Synapse, is so easy to use and is organized in a way that made it easy to find whatever I was looking for. There was an onboarding session few days prior to the course kicking off, so I knew exactly what the technical requirements were and could jump right in on Saturday morning.
The Content was engaging and relevant, and we had activities to complete throughout the class. Sharing these with classmates was great for accountability, and also got me through the perfectionism that's been a blocker for me in the past.
As for the instructors, Jenna's style is incredibly engaging. She was always seeking input from students and sharing her wealth of knowledge in all things UX. Sarah also created a great, open atmosphere to share personal experiences, and was highly supportive in our learning. Both were very responsive for any questions as we worked through our projects, and provided tools along the way to help us cross the finish line.
- User Experience Design- 6/27/2020Ryan Yu • Student • Student • Course: User Experience Design • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedIn
The experience I had at the UX design bootcamp was extremely valuable. I like how the ciriculum was all relevant information with instructors that were friendly and experienced. Both instructors Jenna and Sarah brought their real world experience to enhance my experience and ultimately helped me learn better. I apprecaited the teaching style of both lecture and practical demonstration and group activities. I felt very welcome and able to contribute equally. I am considering taking more courses and recommending courses to friends and family.
- Digital Analytics- 6/26/2020Rashad • Course: Data Analytics • Campus: Vancouver • Verified via LinkedInGreat course if you have Raymond K. as your instructor.
- UX Design- 6/24/2020Brandon • Experience Designer • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design • Campus: Vancouver • Verified via LinkedInLearning UX design from an actual UX designer in professional field. This course is overviewing entire journey of UX design with great examples of real industry examples and studies. Very useful course to learn for current and future designers in creative industry. Although you don't know any idea of UX design, it is still fine. You will be surprised with your outcome at the end of this course.
- 10/10 Recommend!- 6/24/2020Paige • Graduate • Course: Digital Marketing Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI’ve taken two courses at BrainStation, and fully recommend that anyone who is interested register. I loved the Online Live format because it offered me the opportunity to learn from home without sacrificing the quality of content or connection with my instructor/peers. This course covers all facets of digital marketing and teaches best practices to implement and analyze targetted campaigns.
- Intro to Data Science Course Review- 6/22/2020Aritra Saha • Student • Course: Data Science • Campus: Vancouver • Verified via LinkedIn5-week introductory course to core data science topics on Python, including data manipulation, visualization, cleaning, modelling, and model validation.
- A great followup to the UX course- 6/15/2020Stephanie Krompier • Creative Director • Student • Course: User Interface Design Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI have been working in design and branding for the last 20 years and although I had risen to a managerial position, I wanted to update my hands-on skills, especially digitally. After researching the different part-time options, I chose BrainStation as they seemed the best value and enrolled in their on campus UX course. The NY campus, in the heart of Soho, is an absolutely beautiful and inspiring space to learn in.
The UX course proved to be challenging in a good way and I was very keen to follow it up with the UI course. At that point, Covid had hit and I was WFH but luckily the course easily adapted to being online through Zoom. Because of the global pandemic situation, one of my fellow students found himself stuck in Belgium but he still called into every class at 3am in the morning!
The UI course was a bit easier for me than the UX course as I already knew some of the content around visual language such as typography best practices. However, other content more specific to digital was new to me such as the grid system and responsive design. The course also helped reinforce skills that I had learnt in the UX course such as how to use software like Sketch.
Our tutor, John Kantor, was a pleasure to learn from as he explained things well whilst also keeping up a good pace. I also enjoyed it when he shared his own professional experiences with us. He made himself available through Slack for if we needed help whilst working on our projects outside of class time. When I reached out with a question, he responded within the hour. He also provided links to additional resources that helped reinforce what we were learning.
With this course, as with most part-time learning, there is not the time to master skills in each class so you need to do that in your own time and it is a case of getting out of it what you put in. Due to being stuck at home, I was able to put in many free hours on my final project and I’m really proud of what I achieved.
- Kevin K. • Sr. Business Analyst • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInAs an aspiring product manager, having a thorough understanding of User Experience was always a goal of mine. When we were put into nation-wide quarantine/lock-down due to COVID-19, I decided to use this opportunity to take an online UX course from BrainStation. Having taken a BrainStation course before (Product Management), I was very familiar with their approach and teaching methodology. The online format utilized Zoom and Slack and delivered the content very similar to the in-class experience. The instructors, Elias and David, were fantastic - they were industry experts who brought valuable real-life experience to the classroom. Overall, they were very knowledgable, approachable, and made the online learning experience fun and interactive. After now completed the 10-week UX program, I am much more confident speaking the UX language, and ready to use my new skills in my career. I would definitely recommend taking this course. =)
