I have been working in the marketing industry for a few years and took this course to bring my skills up to speed in digital - it was a great experience!
I was impressed by the organization of the school, the atmosphere and the classroom learning portal. Brainstation has really nailed student communication + has an incredible student portal where all of the class content lives, acing as a great rescource to continue learning outside of the classroom.
The instructors and staff were very welcoming, and it's clear they are dedicated to providing a great student experience both in and out of the classroom.
We were aware of the full course curriculum from day 1, and each week we dove more into each area of digital marketing along with students who had similar interests. It was great to learn from industry professionals and learn about the work in action on the job.
I would highly recommend this class for someone brand new to the industry who is looking to get an understanding and then make a plan to dive in deeper into the areas that really caught their attention. If you're already in the industry, you might be best suited to some networking or workshop events offered at this school - they've got a lot of great options and are truly connected in the industry.
The part-time Web Development course has been a great introduction to the world of .html, .css, and bootstrap. I joined with no previous knowledge and now feel confident reading and writing code. The instructors are there to help and, within reason, the students pick the pace of the class. If you have an interest in learning basic coding skills, this course could be your ticket.
As long as you have the mindset coming in that you will have to work hard and then work even harder you will be fine. The lecturers, TA's, and staff combined make this a fantastic environment for learning and growth. The academy wants you to succeed because when you do they do. They take a very hands on role when it comes to your progress and success, because they care.
Yes, parking is a little messy, however they are a number of easy solutions that the school has provided.

Yes, there is a gym next door and the sound leaks through the walls. It’s not that bad and honestly it makes you a better learner. If you feel like it might be an issue just check out the sound for yourself. Come take a tour and see the space. I’m telling you it’s pretty AWESOME!
If I haven’t stressed this enough I will again, every person that works here is WONDERFUL!!
I completed the course of User Interface Design a couple of weeks ago and I can truly say it was a terrific experience. This not only taught me fundamental design principles and best practices but also how to use some of the best tools of the industry.

I particularly liked the educator who had a user-centered design thinking as well as a results-minded focus. Great campus located very conveniently in Vancouver, and some very interesting folks met as part of the student community.
Would definitely recommend this course to get knowledgeable and hands-on digital design wise.
I took the Digital Marketing course in Vancouver and it was an excellent crash course in digital marketing. A lot of content was covered in the 10 weeks, so if you don’t keep up you will miss out on some valuable information. The entire course is group project based and evaluated on a final presentation. A lot of work is put in by every member and a lot of higher level learning/application will take place outside of class, so be prepared for the commitment.

A lot of work is put in by every member and a lot of higher level learning/application will take place outside of class, so be prepared for the commitment.
The educators and guest speakers are really great, and are available to answer questions on Slack outside of class. The students all come from diverse backgrounds, which offers a range of experience to the projects. The campus is a great setting, but it would be nice to have more flexible hours to work on projects without having to book a room.
Having had no marketing experience myself, it was a great course to provide widespread knowledge of all aspects of digital marketing. It was also really great to see what it takes to put together a marketing plan from start to finish. All-in-all, it was a great course.
this course was really well laid out and defintely covered every aspect of UX development. I ahd a little bit of experience in UX before entering the course, however I did throughly enjoy learning form the basics and then more complicated programs and such. The student community was really invovled and interested in the course which contributed to a great learning envrionment.
I am just now coming up to the conclusion of my 10 week Intro to Web Development course, where I've been introduced to several topics including HTML and CSS.
Coming into the course with 0 coding knowledge and a layman's understanding of navigating my own computer, I faced a bit more difficulty than I expected, and have at times felt quite discouraged.

I am just now coming up to the conclusion of my 10 week Intro to Web Development course, where I've been introduced to several topics including HTML and CSS.
Coming into the course with 0 coding knowledge and a layman's understanding of navigating my own computer, I faced a bit more difficulty than I expected, and have at times felt quite discouraged. While the course would be excellent for individuals with coding experiece, I have found the course to be moving too quickly for myself as a true beginner.
The instructors are extremely knowledgable, and are without a doubt excellent coders. They are available over Slack and leave breaks in class to go over tricky parts with students. As industry professionals, they offer interesting bits of advice stemming from their own experiences with the material they are presenting.
The course has been thorough and the progression intuitive, but I would recommend introducing take-home assignments of some sort to keep the practice up between classes. For someone with -literally- no coding experience and an average knowledge of computers, I have found it hard to feel up-to-date and confident in my coding abilities.
I would completely recommend this course to anyone who is wanting to hone pre-existing skills in web development. For those like myself, who are coming to the class with 0 experience, I would recommend first testing out online resources before committing to a course.

Overall I have had an amazing experience with BrainStation. Right from the first info session all the way to selecting the appropriate course that suited my goals, the team was accommodating from the beginning.

Overall I have had an amazing experience with BrainStation. Right from the first info session all the way to selecting the appropriate course that suited my goals, the team was accommodating from the beginning. After nine-weeks into the course, my educators have done an excellent job of teaching us with real life experiences and a very useful content for me was their step by step guidance on launching a product from concept to completion. The student community was very welcoming, and the campus has everything you would expect from a modern, top of the line tech environment.
I would certainly recommend this course to a friend or anyone reading this review!
I considered attending BrainStation for months until I came to a point in my career where I knew that amping up my skills was not a choice anymore if I wanted to remain competitive. I ended up deciding for the SEM course, which is great if you want to dive straight into SEO and PPC. My background in digital marketing was very light before the course, but because it allows you to get hands-on experience, after a couple of months I felt more confident as a digital marketer.

My class was small too (about 10 of us), which allowed me to interact frequently with the teachers.Having instructors that are well-known in the industry and pack years of experience was a huge plus for me. The course was particularly great for networking and it open doors immediately. Not even before the course was over, I had attractive job opportunities knocking on my door. I loved connecting with other digital marketers and entrepreneurs and learning about their different professional backgrounds.
Plus, Brainstation just moved to a beautiful brand new campus right in the heart of downtown, which was great as I could walk to class straight from work.
I would highly recommend this course, especially if you need a structured, interactive way to learn new skills.
This course gave provides an awesome overview of the digital marketing world and spends a lot of quality time on the important aspects of digital marketing. Each week had an engaging lesson which included many resources that we can take with us into our roles outside of the class. We had the opportunity to work in small groups and disect a brand throughout the 10 weeks, while implementing the things we were learning each week.

We had the opportunity to work in small groups and disect a brand throughout the 10 weeks, while implementing the things we were learning each week. I found the course to be fairly hands-on and thought it was helpful to relate the learning material to the company we were studying each week.
Would definitely recommend the course to anyone looking to learn more about digital marketing.
I loved the UXD course at BrainStation. My instructors (Irina and Kenan) were informative, funny and supportive and they really knew their stuff. We also were the first cohort to get to use the new BrainStation building in Vancouver. It is beautiful!!!! This is my second class with BrainStation. I find the classes refreshing compared to traditional educational institutions. They are casual but the course content is refined and always relatively fresh.
