I really enjoyed the data science with Brainstation. Sure it requires time and effort, but so does any coding language. I am really glad I put the effort as I feel confident and motivated in taking up data projects and continuing the journey. The duration of the course was adequate, the exercises given pushed the students to go beyond the scope of the class and the instructors were extremely knowledgeable and supportive with the exercises and the project.
Highly recommend Brainstatio...I really enjoyed the data science with Brainstation. Sure it requires time and effort, but so does any coding language.

The course was very informative and was at an excellent pace. The instructors took the time to explain the concepts well and were eager to answer any questions that were posed by the class participants. The ability to work on problems during the class and have the instructors post their solutions allowed me to learn by verifying what my thought process was. The final project allowed me to use all the skills I learned in the course to present an actual case and have it evaluated. Excellent ...

Digital Marketing Bootcamp
During the pandemic last year, I found myself with more time as work projects slowed down and we were all locked down at home. I was already working in a marketing role, but I wanted to further upgrade my skills in the digital space with some of the more technical skills such as SEO, SEM, paid ads, branding processes, DM tools, etc.
BrainStation's DM Bootcamp was the most brutal 3 months of my life. However, I learned SO much. It was a really valuable experience. Not only was it ...During the pandemic last year, I found myself with more time as work projects slowed down and we were all locked down at home. I was already working in a marketing role, but I wanted to further upgrade my skills in the digital space with some of the more technical skills such as SEO, SEM, paid ads, branding processes, DM tools, etc.
BrainStation's DM Bootcamp was the most brutal 3 months of my life. However, I learned SO much. It was a really valuable experience. Not only was it a great exercise in regenerating some of my dormant cognitive abilities, but I learned a lot about my own working habits, collaborative work under extremely high pressure/stress, and personal boundaries re: mental health. Mel Greene was my educator and she was AMAZING. She was so organized, knowledgeable, kind, but also firm. She knew how to keep us motivated and on our feet.
Pro-tip: If you also suffer from anxiety and depression, please make sure you have a strong support system in place before starting the program. I cried, A LOT. Doubted myself, A LOT. I was very lucky that I had close friends and family who were always there to support me when I was overloaded. Deadlines are tight, the workload can be overwhelming, and there may also be tense situations in group settings, so please equip yourself with the right tools before diving into the rabbit hole.
My feedback to BrainStation: PLEASE provide more mental health assistance for the bootcamps. Bootcamps are inherently tough mentally, please don't make it even harder for those who suffer from pre-existing mental health issues. Much like the career advisors, I think it would have helped me significantly if there was a counselor or a professional to talk to during this highly stressful period of time. - RueCredit Risk Analyst • OnlineOct 05, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

From Actor/Waitress To UX Writer
After much research on similar programs, I chose the BrainStation UX Design Bootcamp for its varied curriculum and rigorous 12-week timeline. Having spent many years outside of a learning environment, I was uncertain how the immersive educational experience would affect me. My genuine interest and desire to learn propelled me forward throughout the 12 weeks. Seeing the quality of my work climb as time went on, I felt more and more prepared to take my new UX knowledge into the work world....After much research on similar programs, I chose the BrainStation UX Design Bootcamp for its varied curriculum and rigorous 12-week timeline. Having spent many years outside of a learning environment, I was uncertain how the immersive educational experience would affect me. My genuine interest and desire to learn propelled me forward throughout the 12 weeks. Seeing the quality of my work climb as time went on, I felt more and more prepared to take my new UX knowledge into the work world. Not having a background in tech or design was never a detriment, as I was consistently able to leverage my previous experiences and stories with the guidance of my Educators and Career Support. The fact that it was a remote learning experience was a plus because most of the jobs available today are remote; online learning helped me acclimate to future work environments. Upon graduating, I had continued support and guidance from my initial applications through salary negotiation once I received an offer.
Because of the solid foundation I built at BrainStation and their Career Success program, I was recently hired as a UX Writer for a FinTech app.
If you are considering BrainStation, prepare for a highly rigorous and robust curriculum. Much of your work is held to industry standards, and the work you do outside of class is just as, if not more important than, the work you do in class. Get to know your cohort. They are your teammates. Take advantage of 1-on-1 time with educators and TA's. They are your team leads incredible resources. Identify your strengths and areas of interest as the course moves forward. Those are the opportunities that will be most available to you once you receive your diploma.
The tech world is hungry to benefit from the unique perspectives and contributions of those with varied educational and professional experiences. If you feel ready to change the course of your career, BrainStation can give you the tools and support to make that happen.
