    Best Decision of My LIfe

    Why did I do it?

    Before Wyncode, I was working at a small investment consulting firm. I was close to graduating college and I was considering taking the Series 65 to become an investment advisor. I had always had an interest in coding and over the years I had done bits and pieces of a few codecademy courses, but never could put it together to actually build something. I knew I really liked coding and the satisfaction of building something cool, so I quit my job, ...

    My exerience with Brainstation was amazing!. The structure of the curriculum enabled students to learn concepts in the most effective manner. The staff here are friendly, knolwedgable and always willing to help. The program is pricey, but if you are passionate in development, it is definately worth your time ( or learn it yourself that may take you years).

    Web Development - Summer 2016

    I had been looking all around Vancouver for a web development course for over a year, but I had a difficult time finding something that met all my requirements. BrainStation ended up meeting all my repirements: a schedule that easily fit into my busy life, was intensive enough to get value for the cost, and most importantly, I needed to work on projects that I could see myself using in the real world.

    I was really impressed with the entire experie...

    BrainStation Vancouver - Review

    I went to BrainStation Vancouver to participate in the Summer 2016 courses of Digital Marketing, Product Management and SEO/SEM & Analytics and was very impressed by the management, the staff and the instructors.
    BrainStation has a team of very knowledgeable instructors who also work in companies like Herschel, Unbounce and Mobify (among others) that are a pleasure and privilege to work with.
    The atmosphere is laid back, mature and professional.

    Overall good eperience. You get what you put into it and if nothing else will guide you to what you really want to do. If you come in with zero coding experience you will get a foundational understanding. Getting to the next level is up to you.

    Great Success!

    Wyncode was an amazing life changing experience! That’s what I tell very one when they ask me about Wyncode, because it true. I went to Wyncode not only to make a change in my life but to also start my career in technology. My previous work experience was in teaching; So my background had nothing to do with technology but it was something that always interested me since I was a kid and I got my first computer.

    Thumbs up from an arts student!

    Currently enrolled in the Intro to Web Development at BrainStation and am loving it. I have a content website and paid a hell of a lot of cash to have it designed and developed - I'm taking the course out of interest in expanding my skills, and so that I'm not having to pay someone to expand my site in the future.   

    As someone with a background in the arts, it can take me awhile to grasp the logical thinking required for coding, but the class has been excellent at giving me the...

    A breath of fresh air compared to post-secondary

    I've been taking the Digital Marketing course at BrainStation for the past few months and I love it! I have a marketing degree but needed to get a refresher on some of the digital components of my degree. BrainStation was the perfect choice for me. The classes are relaxed and fun, but in-depth and relevant. The instructors are hip and are all working in the industry. I highly recommend BrainStation.

    Awesome Experience

    Choosing Wyncode was a great decision for me. Being in my early 20's I was going to school and working part-time and was just tired of waiting to finish. I decided to enroll at the Fort Lauderdale location for their 4th cohort. 

    The curriculum was well structured and is continuously improving. You dive into code, learn as much as you can, you cant expect to learn everything, but you will learn what is necessary to get started and begin your career.

    Best UX Design Course

    I took the UX Design 12 weeks bootcamp in October 2015. It was one of the best investments I've made. The instructors are very knowledgeable and they are always there to help you.

    One of the aspects that I liked the most about the course is that you get the chance to apply all the lessons you learn during the class into a project on your choice. The information I received has given me tremendous value, and contributed in helping me to build my own business.

    Learning technology skills such as mobile development, web design, and coding was the main motivation of submerging myself into this program. It was not an easy choice since there are a ton of coding boot camps out there with great reviews. However, Wyncode offered what I was looking for: majestic curriculum, outstanding classmates, incredible job placement rates, unlimited teaching assistance, and prolific instructors.
