The Product Management course offered by BrainStation is one of its kind. The course compresses a few months of MBA content into a few weeks. The course instructor comes with a great amount of experience. He was one of the key members in the launch of the famous BlackBerry Messenger. He has been in the industry for over 2 decades working with a wide variety of companies. Learning from an industry expert gives you the hands on knowledge and exposure that employers in today's age are looking for. The TA in class also comes from a Product Management background. The advantage is that you have best of both worlds - You learn the theoretical part of it along with the skills that are required to make you a successful Product Manager. The students in class come from a wide variety of backgrounds. We have people with a science background who are looking to develop their own product and want to learn how to take a product from its inception to launching it in the market. The class size is small, with approximately 30 students in class. Everyone has a grand project that they work towards from day one. At the end of it, each student has a tangible outcome, which can used later to show to employers for future jobs.

First of all, I want to thanks Juha(Wyncode co-founders), Jo(Wyncode co-founders) and Matt Haggman(Knight Foundation) on the chance of the scholarship to attend Wyncode.
MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE:First of all, attending WYNCODE was one of the best decisions I have ever made. When I started I just knew the basic of HTML5, CSS3, and just basic of JavaScript. Since week one, I had to work hard because I was learning something new everyday. It was intensive, but I told myself I must dedicated and commit to it, because is going to sky the limit on what I can learn and this is going to be a life long learning path! There wasn't a day since I started that I wasn't going to bed around 2am and waking up around 8am. What I realize is that the best students and developers are the one that puts the extra hours and putting the effort on solving the problems at any circumstance. I really love been surrounded by those kinda people because is motivated me and push me even more to learn.
STAFF & TEACHERS:The staff at Wyncode is phenomenon, I loved their style of teaching in which they teach a several concepts a day and then put you to practice on building small project and homeworks. Some are hard and make you like quitting but it just take pushing through the stress and overcoming the hard moments because at the end is all rewarding. The lead instructor Ed Toro is a great teacher, he is very calm and love to teach and see the students learn and succeed. As well as the assistant teachers they are really good programmers to. I really liked the opportunity of been able to learn from top quality programmers.
CURRICULUM:Wyncode curriculum is amazing, like I mentioned it was base on learning new concepts and putting them into practice by small projects and homeworks on a daily basis. On the weekends there were bigger project, that consist of what we have been taught through out the week. The projects are relevant to what most of the top industry are programming in todays world. Last but not least, Wyncode have a great curriculum to become a Ruby on Rails Full-Stack Web Developer, as well as a Front End Developer which is what I like.
Job Assistant:Job assistant is amazing with Rita and Wyncode because they want you to succed. Today, I got hired for Front-End Developer at Coply System, is an amazing company and a great company culture.
I will deinfitly recomend Wyncode 100%, is a Family environemnt end very supportive.I am currently enrolled in a part-time course with Brainstation and have been thoroughly impressed with the experience.
The location is perfect for people living downtown, and the learning environment is beautiful & modern.
I also have two great instructors who really understand how to educate informatively while still having fun.
Highly recommend for people looking to enroll in cutting edge classes.
When I realized I wasn’t happy at the company I worked for I decided no amount of money or title can make me stay in a role that was not rewarding and kept me away from my family for long days at a time. At that point I decided to take a leap into the unknown and I resigned. Figured I'd take some time off and go back to work in 6 months but only in a role that was flexible and offered great work-life balance. However, 2 weeks after quitting I found out I was 1 month pregnant. Oop...
When I realized I wasn’t happy at the company I worked for I decided no amount of money or title can make me stay in a role that was not rewarding and kept me away from my family for long days at a time. At that point I decided to take a leap into the unknown and I resigned. Figured I'd take some time off and go back to work in 6 months but only in a role that was flexible and offered great work-life balance. However, 2 weeks after quitting I found out I was 1 month pregnant. Oops!
Fast-forward 6 months, I did the next logical thing any pregnant women with a 1 year old at home would do: Sign up for an intense all-encompassing web development course. But of course!
That’s where Wyncode comes in. Even though I have been in a Project/Product management role for 10 years I knew I needed an edge if I was going to compete with the top talent in the US for full-time remote positions or top companies in FL. After completing the curriculum at Wyncode I was transformed into a triple-threat project managing product guru web developer.
The experience at Wyncode not only taught me the practical tools to be a great web developer, it also gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams because I know that if I can make it in Wyncode I can make it anywhere. It taught me that I am tougher than I thought through sheer determination, teamwork and an outstanding staff that has been nothing but supportive and attentive the entire time I was in the course, through my job search and beyond.
Today I am currently employed at a local start-up with a great team of other Wyncoders and a great company culture. Six months ago I set out to find fulfilling work that allowed me to be closer to my family and along the way I picked up a second family.
Take the Leap. Become Family. Join Wyncode.

Most people are looking for a coding bootcamp to help them find a career in tech and that was my case. Coming from a public education background and looking to change careers, I knew that I needed to retrain and the emerging tech industry in Miami looked to be a great place to get in on the ground floor. While I was comfortable and proficient with technolgy being a trainer and leader for integrating technology into the classroom to facilitate classroom instruction, coding was a whole different endevour.
I came to Wyncode with little to no coding background. After Wyncode, I was employed in a developemt position within 3 months of finishing the program. That is no code to employed in 6 months.
I waited to write this until after I was employed, to have a better perspective on what was taught at Wyncode and what I use and need at my new position. There are three other amazing developers, also Wyncode grads, that I work with and we discuss Wyncode often. My easy explanation is that we use everything we were taught at Wyncode. There is no aspect of this job that I can’t look back and say, “Yeah, Ed [Toro, Head Instructor, Wyncode] taught that.”
Look at the curriculum. Code to non-code, we use nearly everything, every day.
Most important for me, as a person looking to change careers after 15 years in education, was the job placement. In my experience, Wyncode did an amazing job of guiding me and preparing me for the difficult job seach process. Wyncode put me in the interview room with three hiring partners before I even finished, as well as four right after. Wyncode teaches people like me who’ve never had to network how to write emails and follow-up emails, they provide resume writing guidance and critique (from numerous experts), and they help you to practice your interview skills. There are literally hundreds of campanies that are hiring partners of Wyncode that conatct Wyncode about positions they need to fill. Wynocde posts job openings daily for compaines in their network. They set up interviews for you. Rita Rovira even met with hiring partners after I interviewed to help discuss my placement. Part of their curriculum is dedicated to helping you maximize your potential to land the right job for you in tech.
In my opinion, If you aren’t working in tech after Wyncode, it’s because you don’t want to work in tech.
There is also something to be said for the community at Wyncode. So many alums come in and are still involved with Wyncode. The network helps you reach out, to what is now, 50 differnet companies that have hired Wyncoders. Business partnerships have flourished out of Wyncode and lasting friendships were created at Wyncode between people who otherwise never would’ve met. The founders, Jo and Juha, are in the building, involved with each Cohort, helping guide each student along, meeting individually with each student numerous times throughout the nine weeks.
Jo, Juha, Ed, as well as the rest of the team, tell you staight up how its going to be. They do not sugar coat any aspect. They tell you that you will wotk hard, and you will. They tell you that it is not easy, and it is not. They tell you that they will give you all the tools that you need to acheive your dreams, and they do.
I invested in Wyncode to help me change my life, and I changed my life.
My time at Wyncode was well spent. I was able to quickly overcome the obstacles that prevented me from internalizing certain concepts on my own. Like everyone else, I learned a lot during my time in that classroom. My class had some really excellent people with great ideas and the motivation to reach their goals. The human element is real.

My time at Wyncode was well spent. I was able to quickly overcome the obstacles that prevented me from internalizing certain concepts on my own. Like everyone else, I learned a lot during my time in that classroom. My class had some really excellent people with great ideas and the motivation to reach their goals. The human element is real.
The Fort Lauderdale campus was pretty good. Comfortable chairs, good beers, and snacks. GP next door is nice, too, but the chairs aren't so good. Although the campus is very close to Las Olas and lots of other nice beers, it is on the outskirts and is instead bordered by several sketchy neighborhoods.
The TAs were great because they were once students themselves and were better equipped to break down certain concepts that we were struggling with. The lessons were good, although there was a lot of content and they went through it all very fast. It was difficult at times to try and follow along with what was going on in the class. In the end it was more efficient and less stressful just to sit there and take in the lesson itself. Reading the notes before/after can help with comprehension.
Overall I'm very satisfied with the program. I'm impressed with the way student feedback was incorporated for current and future cohorts. Wyncode ultimately taught me the skills needed to transition into a Junior Development role, and for that I'm pretty satisfied.
Being a college student, I always spent my summers taking it easy and travelling. I never thought I would end up going through a coding bootcamp.. I didn't even know coding camps exsisted. My dad (through a family friend) found out about Wyncode and researched into it, and told me I should apply. At first, I was like "I don't know...." but then I reseached into, saw pictures, read reviews and realised "huh, actually looks kind of cool". So I gave it a ...
Being a college student, I always spent my summers taking it easy and travelling. I never thought I would end up going through a coding bootcamp.. I didn't even know coding camps exsisted. My dad (through a family friend) found out about Wyncode and researched into it, and told me I should apply. At first, I was like "I don't know...." but then I reseached into, saw pictures, read reviews and realised "huh, actually looks kind of cool". So I gave it a shot and applied...and I got in. Today, here I am, a senior about to graduate next semester and all I want to do is code. Funny how things change in a matter of 9 weeks. Going through a course with the smartest teachers and TA's, awesome staff, new friends and a supporting tech community, you learn a few things.
I am currently an Information Technology major and have taken programming classes before the course, but I was never into programming as much as I am now. The classes I took in college were good but you didn't sit there and code all day like you do in Wyncode, so I never became immersed in it. Your teacher and TA's at Wyncode will help you solve any coding problem you have, and will make sure you are understanding the concept. You are also surronded by this amazing tech community that's growing every day. ANYONE can code, if they just learn from the right people and have the right help and guidance. Trust me, you will not regret doing this.
Wyncode has improved their cirrculum since I went through it and every cohort it only gets better! They know what skills you need become a full stack developer and land an awesome programming job! Don't get scared about the course...YOU can do it! I encourage you to apply or at least go to an open house and learn about it. And coding isn't the only thing you learn. You learn about stand-ups and how much they actually help you. You meet CEO's and go to offices and see what the start up life is like. You have the chance to get advice from the tech community through guest speakers and networking events (like Waffle Wedensday). You have not only a community but a new family to lean on. You also make amazing friends. I will never forget the things we did as a cohort and how close we got. Getting excited when someone ordered pizza or that there were kind bars in the kitchen, becoming addicted to dark dogs and coffee, staying up all night at the lab (and coding!), sitting around sharing stories, going to wood and drinking after a long day of coding, pitch day and the after party, MelTreats... list goes on.
Now is the time to get into tech, more than ever. I dare you to take the first step. ARE you ready to learn how to code?
I was definitely a skeptic, how could 9 weeks make that much of difference? Well it did, and much more than I expected. The course does not only teach you how to code, it gives you access to a pandora box of insider knowledge of programming world, it also steers you through a direct and clear path to become a professional developer where you can sustain interest and living, as a developer. The coding is only one part of the course, the whole package includes the soft skills, the business a...
I was definitely a skeptic, how could 9 weeks make that much of difference? Well it did, and much more than I expected. The course does not only teach you how to code, it gives you access to a pandora box of insider knowledge of programming world, it also steers you through a direct and clear path to become a professional developer where you can sustain interest and living, as a developer. The coding is only one part of the course, the whole package includes the soft skills, the business acumen, the agile process, public speaking, presentation skills, and a whole lot more. Not to mention the dedicated staff that’ll guide you along the way, and help you find a job to work as a developer after the course.
But most importantly, it is the life long friendships and invaluable connections that you’ll make during the course. South Florida Tech Scene is finally becoming a reality. People you meet in the course will become the foundations of Florida Tech Industry tomorrow, they are all smart and talented individuals, not unlike you already, you all will be working toward a common goal, cheering on each other for success and tapping on each other for support. Even the alumni are your extended family here, they are super helpful and readily guide you and provide continued support long after the course is finished. I have not attended any other bootcamps, so there isn’t much I can compare to. However, I really cannot imagine any other bootcamp can be run better than Wyncode Academy. I truly believe that. Other school may have better classrooms, locations, facilities, lower cost, more staff or any other advantages. But I don’t know if anyone can put more care to the students and about their success like Wyncode. I can attest to the fact that I get emails, text msg supports from TA’s in the middle of the night. I can also attest to the quality of the lead instructors. But here is an example of how much they care. This last Christmas Eve, the Wyncode founder - Juha, while taking time off back to his hometown, at around dinner time when he should be with his family, he was engaging with me in a long detailed discussion to help me analyze my career choices and options. You don’t do that if you don’t genuinely care about the students. Wyncode is not in a business to just pass knowledge to you, Wyncode is in a business to groom and craft the next generation of professional developers. You could be one too!I joined Wyncode to expand my horizons and learned more about what I love which is product development. By the time I finished I had adquired two new passions front-end and back-end development. if you are not sure what you want to do but love technology and are curious about coding you should take this course. The staff is great and they will support you in every step. Wyncode is a family!
When I started Wyncode, I thought I would learn to code. Little did I know I would learn soft skills, life skills, a bit of history, how hardware works, and many other things. I feel like I came out of the course with a well-rounded knowledge of the possibilities out there. We can not learn it all in 9 weeks (time is limited), but I feel like Wyncode put me on the right path to move forward confidently!

The staff is incredible; they were responsive and always available to help!! I am so happy to be a part of the Wyncode "family" moving forward.
I'd recommend Wyncode to anyone interested in learning the "Art of Code". Having changed my entire life (I used to be a professional musician) and moving across the country (from Chicago to Miami), I can confidently say it was absolutely worth it.
After searching for a right place in my career, I felt very bored and unfufilled. But Wyncode changed that. Wyncode stretched me and challenged me to grow a skill that I was frustrated with.
The curriculum is forever evolving and geared towards your learning style. There is always someone who is there to help you when you get stuck.

Besides the curriculum, you have an amazing network of past alumni that you have to support you in the 9 weeks of learning. Plus, you get a new big family.
I am forever grateful for my time at Wyncode. It is a life changing experience that you won't regret.
I completely believe anyone can learn to code! However, in my opinion bootcamps are not for everyone! Was all the material provided? Yes, absolutely! Was there adequate staff to answer the questions that arose? Of course!! Was the instructor knowledgeable? Without a doubt! Is there a support team provided?

I completely believe anyone can learn to code! However, in my opinion bootcamps are not for everyone! Was all the material provided? Yes, absolutely! Was there adequate staff to answer the questions that arose? Of course!! Was the instructor knowledgeable? Without a doubt! Is there a support team provided? The Wyncode family (past graduates and instructors) are some of the friendliest and most helpful people that I have ever encountered and I have lived all over the world. But no matter how much support you are provided, if YOU don't put in the time and work hard then YOU will have let yourself down. But it's not easy by any means! It takes long hours, a drive to push through any failure and the passion to continue after. This is not a easy course, not anyone can do it. Not because you need prior knowledge going in - no all of that will be provided, don't worry. You need a strong drive, a passion for hard work, and the willingness to keep pushing through no matter how hard it gets; and for 9 weeks you need to live, breath, sleep code. If you are a driven, passionate person that can put the rest of your life on hold so you can be dedicated to learning code and have new doors open for you, then go for it! I highly suggest Wyncode! However, if you can't put your life on hold or you're not willing to work hard then solely in my opinion this is not for you. I would go as far as saying bootcamps in general are not for you. You get whatever you put into it, and the harder you work the more you will get.
