Excellent UX/UI immersive program!
This course is designed to teach all aspects of UX/UI and empowers students with the practical skills that employers are looking for. I’m not going to lie, it is intense and requires full-time dedication, but you will learn so much if you put the effort in! The biggest pluses for me were the multitude of projects, the variety of software used, and the opportunities to collaborate with the web dev cohort.

This course is designed to teach all aspects of UX/UI and empowers students with the practical skills that employers are looking for. I’m not going to lie, it is intense and requires full-time dedication, but you will learn so much if you put the effort in! The biggest pluses for me were the multitude of projects, the variety of software used, and the opportunities to collaborate with the web dev cohort. You will also have various design assets to feature in your portfolio––which will be your own branded website, not a blog post.
As for the Wyncode team, they're all exceptional. They really care about supporting their students during the course and alumni after the course is complete. They really focus on providing guest speakers, networking events, job hunt support, resume reviewing, weekly job support meetups, interview practice, and even strategic introductions to their large network of hiring partners.
Last, but not least, the instructor, Gessica was amazing! I can’t imagine someone else doing a better job. She is extremely experienced, so when she teaches, it seems very natural and easy to follow. She was also very supportive and gave great and honest feedback, which is very important for growth. It's bittersweet moving on because Gessica is a great mentor and someone we all look up to.
Overall, I’m proud to say I am a Wyncode UX/UI Immersive graduate. Thank you Wyncode

Social Media Marketing at BrainStation

I recently completed the Social Media Marketing course at BrainStation and absolutely loved the experience - I have a background in Digital Marketing but wanted to brush up on my knowledge of Social Media from a business perspective, as well as learn more about paid advertising and analytics.
The course covered a wide range of topics, from creating compelling ads and copy to measuring campaign success. I felt the number of topics covered throughout the course was appropriate for the number of hours spent in class - it was fast-paced, yet allowed enough time to fully grasp and understand the concepts.
I loved receiving real-time feedback from the very knowledgeable and experienced instructor Di, as well as from my classmates. I also enjoyed the in-class exercises, and found the final project to be a valuable culmination of the lessons taught throughout the course. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of Social Media Marketing and the strategy behind developing a successful campaign!

I graduated from Wyncode as part of Cohort 16 in late 2017, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Walking into the campus fills you with energy, and every member of the staff is friendly, helpful, and accessible. From the time that you come into contact with the school and even far after graduation, they foster a sense of community and support that I have not experienced anywhere else.

Walking into the campus fills you with energy, and every member of the staff is friendly, helpful, and accessible. From the time that you come into contact with the school and even far after graduation, they foster a sense of community and support that I have not experienced anywhere else.
Almost two years later and the Founders still remember me by a first name basis.
The program may be one of the most challenging things you do, especially if you don't have any prior experience or knowledge about the tech industry, but if you stick to the tools that they give you and trust the learning process, you are guaranteed to enjoy a great return on your investment before the first six months after you graduate.
The only reason that I didn't give "Job Assistance" a 5 star review is because when I graduated there were few avenues to explore Freelancing as a part of their program, but Wyncode has taken this into account and created new resources like Wyntalent to offset this.
The courses may seem expensive on first sight, but the value that you get from Wyncode extends so much more than just the course, the campus, and the resources. The program is an investment in your future: you will get out of it what you put into it, guaranteed. So if you're looking for that big break into tech, changing your career path, or just want to learn the art of code to make it a part of your skilset, Wyncode is the right place for you. - PortiaBusiness Development • Graduate • Web Development • TorontoMar 20, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great teachers and content
BrainStation has awesome industry experts, working in that exact field, teaching the courses. I found it really helpful to get not only the practical content but also what it would realistically be like in application.
My only concern is that you’re not able to download lecture slides/content, so make sure you take really good notes and/or screen shot where needed so you have the info to reference in the future.

Great experience with the UXUI program!
My experience at Wyncode has been great! The top factor for me is the professor, Gessica, who does an incredible job educating and supporting students.

The Wyncode space itself is full of energy and fosters collaborations, community, and mentorship. One of the main reasons I came to Wyncode as opposed to any other bootcamp program was because of the down to earth and kind attitudes of the whole team! Not everything is perfect, but what matters at the end of the day is that they care and try to make changes based off of student responses, which is amazing as a place of education. I highly recommend!

Shannon Thorndyke is an angel in real life. Coming into the digital marketing course I already had some background knowledge on the core concepts but Shannon filled in all knowledge gaps I had. She is an amazing communicator and makes you feel comfortable asking questions you may not feel comfortable asking elsewhere. She did an amazing job engaging the classroom and starting conversations that I think were beneficial to everyone no matter the experience level. Is Shannon worth the cost of admission? The simple answer is yes. I will recommend her BrainStation class to anyone looking to learn more about digital marketing. She’s helped me feel empowered in my digital skill set in just four days. Excited to put everything learned into action and change directions in my career. She’s representing the BrainStation brand very well. Definitely a keeper. :)

Highly recommend Product Management course at BrainStation
I was very impressed BrainStation’s part time Product Management course.
Andy Woo and Keith Dell were fantastic instructors -- they were always engaging with a vast knowledge of product management, and used real world examples from their workplace or otherwise to explain concepts. Given that the course was a limited amount of time, I felt that the instructors spent the right amount of time and the concepts that mattered.

Given that the course was a limited amount of time, I felt that the instructors spent the right amount of time and the concepts that mattered.
Our outside of class work was manageable and a great way to solidify content learned in class. We presented projects to the entire class which was a valuable learning experience. As all the students came from a variety of workplaces, it was interesting to get feedback from classmates as well.
Would highly recommend this course and others at BrainStation to my friends and colleagues.

Social Media Marketing Course
Wow! This was so fun and informative. The instructors use the curriculum to guide you through designing a paid campaign for social, step by step. There's so much more to it that Facebok and Instagram.

Overall I had an excellent experience from start to finish. BrainStation hires awesome people, their Admin Staff & Program Coordinators were very helpful, answering all the questions I had and following up with me promptly.
The instructors were also great. I really enjoyed learning from Scott and Nicholas. Their wealth of knowledge was very applicable and easy to follow. Both were eager to help and happy to support our learning. We covered a lot of material in just five short weeks including SEO, SEM, Social Media, Website Optimization.
In addition to this, I met a lot of great people from all walks of life. It was great to bounce ideas off each other and share experiences while learning new skills.
