222When I decided I wanted a career in technology I was really considering my options. I always considered myself as a great self learner and I was not opposed burning through a few books and work on a few projects and hope to someday find someone to higher me. I also considered a formal CS degree, but that takes a lot more resources. When I heard about Wyncode I was immediately intrigued by the idea. The curriculum is very well thought out and very well delivered. The Wyncode team gives you all the resources +more for you to give you the best education experience. The team is 110% committed to your success and even takes the time to listen to you tell them how to do their job better.
Even after you're through with the classes your experience is not over. They have the best Job assistance you could ask for. I was able land my first Job 3 weeks after my last class. As many of the other Wyncoders will tell you, it was the best thing to happen to my career. Nothing can replace the network of people I've developed by becoming a part of the Wyncode family.

Great course. Great people.
I'm taking digital marketing at brainstation. I'm really enjoying it so far and learning a lot. I personally could go a tiny bit slower at times (i don't have much experience) but the instructors are understanding and are available for one-on-one clarification each class. so i'm not finding it too difficult to follow. better to have too much info than too little. what i really like about the course is the people. the instructors are really friendly and insigh...

Awesome experience
After two long years of computer engineering and zero lines of code written i decided to make one of the best decisions of my life and i joined Wyncode.

I know that right now you're probably thinking the program is too expensive or that is not gonna work, I was in your place and i know its a very big decision but let me tell you that it is worth every single penny. Wyncode is gonna give you the tools you need to become a developer and get that job that you always wanted. The part that I love the most is the culture, it is something different and amazing, everyone is eager to learn and help each other from your classmates to the instructors. By the end of the course you will be part of an amazing family that is constantly growing, giving you great friends and connections all over the place. It's hard to come out with the exact words to describe the excitement and gratitude for Wyncode, but one thing I am 100% sure is that i would do it again.

Coming from zero technical experience or knowledge I was nervous and did not know what to expect. The location of Wyncode is in the heart of the design district and perfect to host a bootcamp. The teaching and management staff at Wyncode is wonderful and makes you feel at ease the moment you arrived until the end. I learned more than I ever have in these nine weeks and it was truly life changing. It will be the most challenging nine weeks you will experience but worth the time if you want a career in tech. Go for it!

We approached Brainstation and asked specifically if this course would give us the knowledge we needed to sell products online using Facebook, Google etc. We were promised that not only would they deliver but would help us along the way with our project and services. Unfortunately, this was not even close to what happened. The class started out with 22 students and ended with 7 as the content was very vague and very disappointing to say the least. I complained on behalf of myself and many of the students in the class that the content was not going deep enough and that they probably could have put the first six classes into one. The instructors appear to have the knowledge but really are not imparting value to the class. The class is very new and the instructors very young, some of the people that are running Brainstation openly say that they have no experience and are learning on the job. It is my suggestion that you stay away from this particular course until they understand it better themselves. If you are looking for a basic overview this is a good course but if you are really looking for a good course that will really teach you how to market a product or service it is definately not for you and I would strongly suggest you look to another venue.

Hi there,
We appreciate you sharing your feedback.
Our Digital Marketing part-time certificate course incorporates many elements like search engine optimization, search engine marketing, email marketing, social media marketing, brand strategy, analytics, and more to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of digital marketing and how to create their own integrated digital marketing campaign.
Students do learn relevant marketing tools, but this course covers a widespread topic. This is why we always recommend that before taking a course, you speak with a Learning Advisor to make sure it is the right fit for your goals. If students are looking to learn more specific tools, we offer specialized training courses including Google Analytics or Google AdWords training.

Game Changer
Wyncode completely changed my life. Everything from the faculty to the curriculum to the work space provided is essential to the program's success. I would recommend the class to anyone looking to get into the south Florida tech industry because you will become completely immersed into it.

Life changing experience.
As cliche as the title may sound, it holds true for me that Wyncode was a life changing experience. I came in with little to no prior knowledge in coding other than some basic understanding of HTML and CSS (and completing the assigned pre-work once I was accepted into a cohort).

As cliche as the title may sound, it holds true for me that Wyncode was a life changing experience. I came in with little to no prior knowledge in coding other than some basic understanding of HTML and CSS (and completing the assigned pre-work once I was accepted into a cohort).
Wyncode means "bootcamp" in every sense of the word; it is intense and requires a lot of dedication and self-discipline and pretty much all of your time. We had been told by people from previous cohorts that you'd be surprised by how much you know by the end of the first few weeks, halfway into the course, and when you're done. It's true; I didn't see how much of an improvement I made until looking back over the past 2-3 months. I felt imposter syndrome - and still do on occasion - almost all throughout the course and never thought I would be able to find a job in the industry. I recently started working as a jr. web developer at a software company in the area just a few weeks after finishing Wyncode.
In addition to the programming languages and other technical skills, Wyncode teaches you the soft skills that you need not only to become a good developer, but someone who is employable - someone who can communicate clearly and effectively, readily adapt to situations, and be able to work in a team. The last point is especially important, because we had worked in group settings fairly often, whether it was for hackathons, mini projects, and for the final project. The nine weeks that we had spent learning and collaborating together was such a uniquely shared experience; I met several wonderful people who have become great friends.
We've also had several opportunities throughout the nine weeks to attend and even present at networking events to hiring partners and potential employers. I had to force myself out of my comfort zone; it can be pretty nerve racking at times but I enjoyed talking to and learning from developers and others who have been part of the South Florida tech scene for years.
Attend the next open house meeting and reach out to the Wyncode team; everyone is receptive to feedback and incredibly enthusiastic and passionate about what they do!

Hello, my name is Jeff Ginsberg and just 12 weeks ago I was working as a General Contractor with no programming experience. I had always enjoyed playing on my computer but never thought I was capable of actually learning how to program them and use them to build my wildest dreams.
When I heard about Wyncode, I thought that it would be impossible to turn someone like myself with no experience into a person capable of developing whatever they could imagine in just 9 weeks. But, I attended some of their events and spoke with the students, it turned out that many of the students were like me, they had a passion to learn about computer programming and just did not know where to start. Once, I saw the incredible web applications the students were putting out, I was convinced Wyncode was the real deal so I applied for the course.
Upon being accepted I was a little nervous to take the plunge, but I put in my 2 weeks notice at my current job and went for it. Looking back now I am really happy I did, it has definitely changed my life for the better. I have learned a new set of skills that I do not see going away in the future and the work I do is fun and challenging, I get to work on interesting new problems every day.
One of the best perks that Wyncode provided to me was that throughout the course, Wyncode would arrange for us to meet their partner companies that often hire Wyncode Graduates. In these meetings we could discuss our progress throughout the course, share our experience thus far, and most importantly learn about these companies. This was really great because in the begininning I had no idea what I was going to do after the course ended, but by the end of the course I knew exactly what companies I wanted to work for, and I had become acquainted with the people that could help me land a position in these comapnies.
Within a week of finishing Wyncode, numerous companies had reached out to me requesting job interviews. Now less than a month later I have accepted a full-time position as a Software Developer, and with my free time I have started developing my own video game. Life is good.
If you are open to learning and are passionate about technology, then look no further than Wyncode.

When researching development bootcamps across the United States I remember coming across several reviews that said the experience was great, yet lacked a bit of organization from a curriculum standpoint or instructor standpoint. Well, Wyncode was not great, it was incredible and did not disappoint in any department! Not only was the curriculum great, but the people and instructors were too. At Wyncode you really become part of a community of inspired and highly motivated individuals. I came in unsure of what the program would be like, but it quickly exceeded my expectations. Coming straight out of university with a degree in mathematics, I wanted to learn to code in order to supplement my previous knowledge in statistics and data science. I quickly grew to love coding and (thanks to Wyncode) just one month out of the program I was offered a job where I am now applying both my data/database knowledge and my newfound programming knowledge.
I highly recommend Wyncode to anyone looking to start a career in programming!

Incredible Experience!
Wyncode was nothing short of a life changing experience for me.
I decided to attend Wyncode because I had always enjoyed programming, but was no where near proficient enough to get a job as a software engineer. Coming into Wyncode I did have some coding experience. I knew VBA and was knowledgeable in Objective-C and Java. I used tools like Lynda.com and youtube to learn to code, but it was never enough. I never felt very confident in my abilities.

I decided to attend Wyncode because I had always enjoyed programming, but was no where near proficient enough to get a job as a software engineer. Coming into Wyncode I did have some coding experience. I knew VBA and was knowledgeable in Objective-C and Java. I used tools like Lynda.com and youtube to learn to code, but it was never enough. I never felt very confident in my abilities.
I was skeptical of coding bootcamps at first. It seemed like many of them promised way more than they could realistically deliver. Wyncode was different. Wyncode promised a comprehensive curriculum including soft skills, business acumen, as well as all the technical knowledge you would expect. Wyncode promised to stick by their students and to work as long and as hard as they could to help you gain employment. Instead of promising unrealistic results, they promised to work hard, and to present you with opportunities. And they certaintly delivered.
Every week we had guest speakers. They shared their expereinces and stories of the tech world and answered a lot of our questions. Every week there were many networking events. This provided us with tons of opportunities to meet potential employers. We had interviews, and a packed house for our pitchday presentations. We were presented with MANY opportunities to meet with potential employers.
We also learned about agile methodologies. We did daily standups, learned about sprints, user stories, and about assigning points to stories. This proved to be helpful in my current job. Thanks to Wyncode's agile methodologies lectures, I quickly picked up on how my current employers operates in terms of deploying code.
Last but certaintly not least is the technical lectures. We learned Ruby, HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery, AJAX, Rails, SQL and so much more. I really enjoyed the lectures, and felt like they were well constructed and did a great job of explaining a topic in a complete yet concise way. TA's were seemingly always available to us and the head instructor was an invaluable resource as well.

Best thing I have done for my career life to date!
Prior to Wyncode I was unsure about my professional future. Wyncode has given me a thorough platform of knowledge with which I can work with, towards a successful career. The program is very thorough and demands around 10 - 12 hours per day of dedicated work/study. The teacher is more than qualified for the job, he knew the answer to the most complicated of problems that the TA's struggled to offer help with.

The teacher is more than qualified for the job, he knew the answer to the most complicated of problems that the TA's struggled to offer help with. The program makes a good job of introducing you to the tech scene through building both hard and soft skills aswell as contacts. Another thing to praise is the abundance of available help after lectures end until the late hours of the night. The only part that could be Mac focused program, yet they are very supportive of Windows and Ubentu users. Overall it was a great experience and I will be recomending it to others interested in the community.

Amazing Experience with Great People
Believe all the hype! After many years as an entrepreneur, I sold my business and applied to Wyncode. Everybody from the lead instructor, Ed, to the campus director, Juliana, really were great and helped with every question that was I asked. This course is intensive, be prepared to invest all your time here during the cohort. But that will pay off when you have the skills necessary to join the workforce or like me, begin a company from scratch.
