    Wyncode Review- C33

    My recommendation to anyone coming to Wyncode is to spend as much time prior to the course as possible learning about coding.  Don't rely on just the prework to prepare you for the course.  Subscribe to youtube channels about coding, complete the coding modules on code academy, and learn as much about CSS, HTML, and JavaScript as possible so the first few weeks of the course go as smooth as possible.

    Incredible Experience

    I had an incredible experience at Wyncode.  The curriculum is great, the instructors are very helpful and they really work hard to make sure you get the most out the program you can.  The program is by no means easy, but if you are willing to put in the work you can get through it.  More than just teaching technical skills, they teach you how to learn quickly and efficiently and how to be comfortable being uncomfortable.  #NeverStopLearning.

    Full Time Web Dev Review - BrainStation

    I am going to keep this short and concise as I know everyone is busy! My time at Brainstaion was one of the best three month periods of my life. I came into the course unsure of the result, and concerned about the course load. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the learning environment was malleable, and the educators adjusted to suite your needs as well as strengths and weaknesses. From my point of view, their education model is somewhat of a futuristic approach, mainly in the sense ...

    Intense But Well Worth It!

    The data science bootcamp held in Vancouver is an intensive and fast-paced program. I was impressed by the amount of real-world skills attained over the course of only 12 weeks. Despite the limited time constraint, the instructors did an effective job at conveying the key fundamentals of data science/machine learning. If there had been an additional few weeks to the bootcamp, we would have likely spent additional time on more complex topics. Overall, the instructors were friendly and...

    Web Development - Full Time

    I was at a point in my career where I felt like I only had soft skills. I felt as though looking back in my career I hadn't really "progressed" that far in experience and when looking forward I felt a lack of trajectory.

    BrainStation gave me control over my career. I am now learning something new every week and even from the point of graduation (a few months ago) I feel as if there's an ocean of knowledge and skill gained.

    Part-Time Data Analytics

    I joined Brainstation’s Data Analytics Winter 2019 session with Brand Ambassador Program.

Our 10-weeks class was mainly thought by Nabeel (he was clear in explaining themes and data terms for ordinary people like me – thoroughly recommended!) supported by Nicole when it was closer to final project (she was patient and very constructive in giving feedback along ...
