BrainStation Reviews
- Incredible hands-on learning experience- 9/24/2020Ally • Product Designer • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design • Campus: New York City • Verified via LinkedInI took the UX Design Certificate Course in the spring of 2020 and had an absolutely amazing experience. I had just started out my career as a product designer and I would have been completely lost without this course!I have a background in Graphic Design so the UI came fairly easy to me, but UX is a completely different animal. I never knew there could be so many different facets of design and it was very exciting to see all the different directions I could go as a designer.Our instructor, Jenna Brucoli, was fantastic. She is incredibly knowledgeable and always had perfect real-life examples to give us to help us better understand the material.We started our final projects the 2nd or 3rd week of class so that we were continuously practicing what we had learned. This was incredibly helpful and important in my learning.I made fantastic connections and friends through the course. I highly recommend this course!
- Digital Marketing- 9/17/2020Jan Barnes • Agility Lead • Student • Course: Digital Marketing • Campus: Vancouver • Verified via LinkedInJust finished my BrainStation course - Digital Marketing!What an amazing course. I have learned so much in the last 10 weeks. It was definitely time well spent.This was actually my 7th course that I’ve completed with BrainStation. So far I’ve completed UX Design, UI Design, Web Development, Python, Machine Learning, Data Analytics, and Digital Marketing. I will definitely be looking at taking more courses with BrainStation.During the Digital Marketing course, I have had an opportunity to learn how to create an effective digital marketing campaign. From creating User Personas to Search Engine Optimization (SEO). From what makes a good website to utilizing Google Ads. All incredibly valuable content/concepts/tools and taught by two amazing instructors/industry experts. Plus I had a chance to work and share with a cohort of fellow students from all types of industries and backgrounds across North America.What I have enjoyed about each BrainStation course is the opportunity to stretch my knowledge and skills across the digital space. I work in Information Technology for a Digital Telecom. Everything I have learned across all 7 courses has been directly relevant and current to the organization I work with.Why 7 courses across a broad spectrum of disciplines, you may ask? I’m an Agile and Lean Coach and Trainer. I work with all disciplines - from design to engineering to marketing. Understanding and appreciating the work that people in specific disciplines are engaged with, allows me to meet students and colleagues where they are in their Agility journey. Applying Agile and Lean concepts and ways of working can differ depending on the type of work that you’re engaged on. BrainStation has provided me with the knowledge and skills to support the people that I support. Thank you BrainStation!What’s next on my BrainStation learning journey? Hmmm….so many choices...iOS Development, Search Engine Marketing, Social Media Marketing...so many awesome courses to choose from.I highly recommend BrainStation courses. BrainStation on-line courses are equally as great as the in-class courses. Plus you get to do it from the comfort of your own home :) So what do you want to learn next? Look no further than the talented instructors and awesome courses offered by BrainStation!
- User Experience Design (online live)- 9/16/2020Sarra • Software Developer • Student • Course: User Experience Design Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI had a wonderful UX Design course experience with BrainStation, from which I have graduated recently. I took the 10 weeks online course option. This online option worked well for me, especially that I work full time and took some vacations during this last summer. So I had my usual activities during the day and was joining my class later in the evening. I have particularly appreciated how the teachers are engaged in the course. I always got fast responses when I asked for help to complete my project deliverable and the lead instructor shared her personal calendar where we could book a meeting with her to ask our questions if we wanted. During the class we had a lot of exercices that we were doing on the spot to practice the new concepts that we were learning, so the course wasn't focusing on the theoretical aspect only and that's something amazing as I am someone who learns faster when I practice the theory. We had a lot of real life experience and tips from the instructors, which I found really helpful to know.
- User Experience Design (online live)- 9/16/2020Lindsay • Freelance Graphic & Web Designer • Student • Course: User Experience Design Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI recently graduated from the User Experience Design course at Brainstation where I took the 10-week online live option. The course itself went at the perfect pace for someone like myself who works full time. It had the perfect balance of content learning and putting our newly acquired knowledge into practice. The instructors were incredibly passionate, knowledgable, and engaging! They were always a Slack message away from answering any questions I had, including outside of class hours, and I could tell they genuinely wanted us to learn and succeed. The lead instructor used specific examples that she had encountered in her career to further illustrate concepts which I found very helpful. The associate instructor was extremely knowledgable and was the perfect compliment to her leading counterpart.
- Web Devleopment Diploma Spring 2020- 9/14/2020Chelsea • Graduate • Course: Web Development • Campus: Vancouver • Verified via LinkedInI took the Web Development Diploma course in Spring of 2020. It was such a great course. We had fantastic educators, lots of student support, and overall I found it to be a great experience.Being full stack we covered a lot of material in a very short amount of time. It was challenging to say the least, but the educators were always available to work with you one on one. It's amazing how much you progress over the twelve weeks.The tech stack: html, CSS/SCSS and JavaScript for the fundamentals. Then, React.js, a front end javascript library for making web applications (this is really useful for getting a job later on), and Node.js with Express.js as our server-side programming curriculum. We also covered some intro to MySql and databases, authentication and deployment.(Among other things, but these were the main focus points, imo).The program is definitely full stack, but I would say leans more towards front end development being that React is a front-end javascript library, and three of the projects (including the capstone) are built using React. However, the server side scripting is also written in javascript, so really as soon as javascript is introduced you are already learning the foundation for creating Node/Express servers, and in two of the main projects you will be implementing a rest API.Overall I was really happy with the tech stack they taught. It’s great being able to use JavaScript for both server and client side. React, although somewhat difficult to learn at first, is totally worth it and is very in demand for seeking out jobs.Also learning how to use SCSS proficiently is massively advantageous. You won’t need to use templates for your your UI - in fact you could be making the templates after this program.I would give BrainStation a 9/10 for course content (just because there’s always room for improvement :)Beyond the core curriculum, we had the opportunity for Mock interviews and a number of career services workshops throughout the cohort. These were great. The whole staff at BrainStation gets 10/10 from me. I found the mock interview to be so helpful, my interviewer was really insightful and I made a new linked in connection and even got some extra help with tailoring my resume.Finally, the Educators. I can’t say enough good things about our teacher, Jon. He’s a senior developer with tons of experience/wisdom, and luckily for his students, a great deal of patience. He genuinely cares about each of his students success. Jon was always readily available to work with you one-on-one or to answer questions throughout the lectures, etc. He’s a humble and approachable guy and really made the whole experience something special. Bootcamp is tough so having a knowledgable supportive team backing you up is essential. These people are your friends/family for the twelve-week duration so it’s a lot easier if you have nice caring people who want to see you succeed.In addition to Jon being awesome we had a team of TA’s who were also exceptionally knowledgable and always ready to help. The support is there, you just have to reach out.I’ll wrap this up by saying that my experience at BrainStation was definitely worth the time and money - I’m still blown away by how much I learned. The only advice I would give anyone considering bootcamp is to make sure you’re prepared and ask a ton of questions. “Bootcamp” is an appropriate name - just prepare as much as you can because the more energy you put in to the program, the more you will get out of it.
- BrainStation Data Science FT Bootcamp 2020- 9/6/2020Overall a decent experience. Main advantages are good quality instructors and lots of different methods of teaching were used to keep things interesting. Cons come from the fact that data science is very hard to teach in 3 months; not everyone is at the same proficiency in math so sometimes it's a little slow, sometimes it's a little fast.
- Data Analytics- 9/4/2020Caitlin W • Student • Course: Data Analytics • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInI took the Data Analytics course in the beginning of 2020. I did the class online-live, and while I was nervous at first about how the course would go, it was actually incredible. The instructors made it very easy to follow and kept me engaged the entire time. They were always able to answer any question and you never felt bad for asking something. The instructors and fellow students were always super supportive. I have enrolled in another course at BrainStation that I am starting next week and am looking forward to it in new ways!
- Valuable Experience- 8/28/2020Christina Esposito • Marketing and Communications Lead • Graduate • Course: User Experience Design • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInI graduated from the part-time User Experience course at Brainstation and it was very insightful. Everything was very well organized and the material was extremely valuable. The Instructors made sure to customize the content to your specific needs and every single class was hands-on and experimental. Great discussions and I feel well prepared for pitching and creating projects with UX principals in mind.
- Online Digital Marketing- 8/26/2020JW • Marketing Manager • Graduate • Course: Digital Marketing Online • Campus: Online • Verified via GitHubAs someone who already had a few years of marketing experience (no targeted digital marketing experience), this course was not very useful for me. To capture something as broad as Digital Marketing in 10 weeks doesn't do it justice. Example; one course (3 hours) was dedicated to social media - with such definitions as what Facebook vs. Instagram vs. Twitter are... Not a good use of my time. I want to be fair and say this could be a reasonable introduction to someone who is (a) not familiar with digital technologies; and (2) not familiar with marketing, looking for a career switch and a cushy introduction. If you have any experience, I wouldn't recommend this. I will say the instructors were pretty decorated. Our main instructor was well-meaning and smart, but I don't feel like he was a good "teacher". Our substitute instructors were more enthusiastic and better at explaining, educating. Our main prof did reach out afterwards with a potential opportunity of interest to me (although I was already happy with my current position) so I feel like they are well-meaning about job assistance.
- Remote Full Stack Web Development Program Review- 8/25/2020Michael L • Graduate • Course: Web Development Diploma Program • Campus: Toronto • Verified via GitHubTLDR: Excellent course, would recommend to most!
Long story: I completed the 12 week bootcamp in July 2020. Partially due to Covid, I decided that it was the perfect opportunity to start a new career path and follow a passion for tech to become a web developer. As I had expected, it was a very intense course and went through an entire gamut of languages and skills. I cannot recommend the course to everyone, as there will be some people who would not be able to handle the workload. However, if you go in with the mindset that you are condensing an entire year of learning into 3 months, and you're willing to put in the time and effort it will take to learn all the material and complete all the projects, then this course is for you.
- Wamiq • Student • Course: Data Analytics Online • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInThe course was set to provide the perfect balance of content learning and practice. I was able to practice what I learnt in class with assignments/homework with more advanced questions available for those who want to push themselves. My instructor was patient and welcoming as he ensured that each student participated in class discussions and understanding concepts. All questions were answered in class and our instructor made himself available for extra help outside of class hours. Our practice with the applications and software was enough to allow us to get started and perform the many tasks you would get as a Data Analyst. As a class, we tried out each application with plenty of practice examples.
I would recommend the course and BrainStation overall. I learnt a lot and feel ready to take on more challenges.
- B2B Lead Generation Manager- 8/23/2020Ben de Groot • B2B Lead Generation Manager • Student • Course: Product Management • Campus: Toronto • Verified via LinkedInBrainStation has an outstanding online synchronous learning model with experienced teachers. Recommend for anyone wanting to upgrade their #digital knowledge and skills.
