    Product Management 10 week course

    Almost finished taking the 10 week Product Management course and have absolutely loved the experience. The classes are small, the instructors are super knowledgable and the course content is current and relevant. I recommend taking the course with Jeff as he brings with him a ton of experience and knowledge. He also encourages people to reach out to him outside of class if they have any questions and he's very good about suggesting supplemental reading materials he thinks are worth while. ...

    Brain Station Vancouver Digital Marketing

    I enrolled in the Digital Marketing course at Brainstation Vancouver with very little background in technical skills or understanding the online marketplace in general.  I can happily say that after 8 weeks (I still have 2 classes left) I feel so much more confident in what it takes to create a successful marketing strategy as well as understanding the behind-the-scenes details of implementing marketing goals.  The instructors are both so lovely and highly encourage questions throughout cl...

    Web Development (Part-Time)

    There were two teachers for the part time web development class. This was super helpful because they could spend time and give a great deal of help to everyone. I found that they were both patient and knew how to work around the various challenges. Both instructors are currently working in the industry which was reassuring that the advice the class was being given was valid. Before taking the class, I knew a little bit of coding. However, this class helped refine my code and follow ...

    Amazing course!

    I am just about done my 10-week tenor at Brainstation in their Product Management class with Jeff. I took this course as a means to compliment my current role, but it became so much more. Being back in a learning environment after nearly 5 years of graduating university was amazing. The Brainstation environment is unique - very small class size, one on one training, and your instructor is a talented professional in the industry. I learned a lot, but I also made connections/mentors, an...

    Are you ready for your blessings?

    I enrolled in Wyncode much like the majority of alumni, because I wanted a career change and I needed it fast. It completely changed my life and exposed me to a network of highly motivated, intelligent and caring individuals. The staff is extremely dedicated and believe in Wyncode as much as you want to. Given the demanding nature of a 10-week coding boot camp, they really want to ensure that you're taken care of in every sense--mentally, physically. Even after graduation, being apart of t...

    Great Experience

    I had a great experience taking The Wyncode Academy's Full-Stack Web Development program. Ed Toro was an excellent instructor, not only was he extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter, but he explained a massive amount of information in a fun and understandable way. He definitely inspired me to work every day and strive for his level of skill and expertise.

    The Full-Stack Web Development curriculum was a great introduction to the logic and syntax of computer programming, ...

    An Eternal Optimist Pivots Into a New Career

    This review will seem biased to the jaded, the cynical, or those hunting for what makes them happy. This review will likely not be useful to the individual who looks at developing, software, and tech as simply a quick plan to 'get rich.'

    I have always liked technology, I like information, and I was never the best student.

    Digital Marketing

    I was enrolled in the digital marketing course at Brainstation Yaletown and I think it was definitely worth it; I am so glad I chose to take it! The content was relevant, focusing on one (out of ten) aspect per week, with real time (no useless 5-year-old examples), real life (all companies used were locally based), and applicable examples. In addition to the content itself, the space in which the classes are held is modern and clean with exposed brick and glass, while the classes were sm...

    Product Management - Winter 2017

    Fantastic course for the beginner to product. You will gain a very good foundation for building the specific skill sets required to be a Product Manager. The curriculum is well thought out and taught in a strategic order. The instrutors are very knowledgeable and, most importantly, are VERY enthusiastic about the content. I took this course with NO knowledge of how products are taken from ideation to market. The goal was to help transition out of a Sales career and into product. Goal achie...

    I took a chance on Wyncode after leaving my job of 2 years and it was the best thing I did. Not only did I learn new skills, I met great people, I broaden my network, and I had the guidance and preparation for job opportunities. It was definitiely a step in the right direction. I highly recommend it.
