     How impressed I was when my underestimation about taking just an online certification vanished away right after the very first 5 minutes at the very first our Zoom video meeting!
     Simply saying "cool," how entertaining and exciting the whole course was (it indeed was so worth taking! Special thank you to the best instructors Scott and Haeri, you made it full of fun and joy!)

    • There were a variety of things learned throughout the course, to pick one specifically would do an injustice from the main takeaway. This course has shown me how to create an App that can be flexible to all demographics. Being a true asset to individuals with disabilities and beneficial to all viewpoints.

    What a fantastic, applicable course - love the format - from engaging instructors, to practical work on your own website to group work (if desired) - despite everything going online due to the pandemic this course was incredibly valuable, very well taught and absolutely worth the investment. Highly recommend.

    Fantastic course that was a great stretch in my abilities and understanding of data principles and techniques. Sergio B was terrific in sharing real world insights and examples and brought a rigorous though friendly critical analysis to each discussion. Recommend this course to any business leader, product owner who needs to work effectively with data.

    Amazing Experience!

    I had an incredible time at BrainStation. The only thing that could have made it better would be to have been in person with my awesome (and super helpful) classmates but unfortunately Covid kept us from that. The instructors were awesome and very knowledgeable. I have never been great in school or had much of an interest for it but for basically the first time in my life I actually enjoyed it and learned a ton. BrainStation's Web Development Program definitely set me up to succeed!

    An amazing experience for a career pivot

    Being a student at BrainStation is challenging but totally worth it.  There is minimal or no time off during the 12 weeks (for the Diploma program), but in return, you will receive a very supportive team of educators, classmates, and career coaches. So it is designed for people who are serious about their careers and ready to invest the full 12 weeks of their time. BrainStation managed to attract people who will really care about your success and will genuinely support you during your pa...

    I’m a guy who tried to learn how to code for months if not years. After trying sites like udemy and coursera I would quickly lose interest in about 2 minutes into the video making it impossible for me to learn anything. Then here comes Brainstation, a coding boot camp that is affordable that offers the same instructions, if not better than the well established heavy hitters that put you on private student loans. I appreciate Brainstation’s overall value, curriculum, extraordinary instruc...
