I just finished Wyncode’s second cohort, and I am happy to say that the quality of my instructors and the curriculum exceeded my expectations! Ed Toro, the lead instructor, is one of the most knowledgeable people in the industry. I am thankful to have been supported by such a knowledgeable and helpful group of Teaching Assistants, especially Frank. I graduated with a business degree from Florida International University with no coding experience. I recognized the need, however, for the skills taught by Wyncode in the Miami market and took the leap of faith with an open mind. I spent countless hours of hard work in the LAB, and the Wyncode staff was with me every step of the way. Upon graduation, I secured a full time position as a junior developer at an exciting, forward thinking company, and I am forever grateful to Wyncode for making it possible.

Miami tech - Wyncode is the best way to get involved
Miami tech is for real. Start-ups and established companies have an appetite for new developers in South Florida and Wyncode is the best way to get involved.
I am a member of Wyncode's inaugural cohort and the value of my experience has continued to grow beyond the course content.

Miami tech is for real. Start-ups and established companies have an appetite for new developers in South Florida and Wyncode is the best way to get involved.
I am a member of Wyncode's inaugural cohort and the value of my experience has continued to grow beyond the course content.
Here are the ways in which Wyncode has enriched my life and why Wyncode is the best place for anyone with the ambition and ability to achieve greatness:
(1) technical foundation // Wyncode provides a foundation in technical skills for web development. Course content is comprehensive for what is necessary to start a career as a developer. The instructors are proven professionals in their fields and are devoted to providing the necessary attention to each student.
(2) business fundamentals and product development // Writing code is powerful, but is only one aspect of what makes a business prosper. Wyncode supplements their technical instruction with teaching business fundamentals, particularly in the scope of rapid product cycles that are relevent in fast-growing companies. "Lean startup" and "agile product management" are given just attention to ensure that Wyncode graduates can relate their work in the context of a business strategy. These elements are important to understand as a job candidate and offer a way to gain an edge when entering the tech work force.
(3) relationships in the tech community // Wyncode has a powerful network of technology professionals who are influential, inspirational, and impactful. Students have privileged access to members of that network, which is a meaningful feature of the experience that is beyond the scope of a curriculum and cannot be replicated by an online course.
(4) post-graduate coaching and support // Experience and benefits provided by Wyncode does not end after the course is complete. Wyncode's leadership team, instructors, and alumni collectively ensure that all of its members get the coaching and support they need to fluorish.

Comprehensive Digital Marketing Course
My experience at BrainStation Miami’s Digital Marketing course was exceptional. The curriculum was incredibly comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics from SEO and PPC to social media and email marketing. While the sheer amount of information was at times overwhelming, the instructors were industry experts who wove their own experiences into the lessons, making the course manageable and engaging.

The hands-on projects provided valuable real-world experience, allowing me to apply what I learned in a practical setting. The collaborative learning environment and networking opportunities were also invaluable. I'm excited to apply the skills I've gained to my communications career and am grateful for the opportunity to learn from such talented instructors and connect with like-minded professionals. - AnonymousStudent • Data Analytics Course • MiamiNov 19, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Instructive
I had a great experience with the data analysis course at BrainStation. The instructors were incredible, providing clear and insightful guidance throughout the program. That said, the course did feel a bit rushed, especially considering the volume of material presented.

However, I understand that this is a bootcamp, and much of the work is expected to be done outside of class time.

Would not recommend
The course content feels very rushed in the sense that they are just trying to cram everything in. As they also have several cohorts at the same time quality of the education is worse as the educators are not able to stop and understand questions at times. The WORST part though is the grading in our cohort we had chatted after the bootcamp and two people did the same thing but one person gets great marks and the other gets feedback not to do this. Grading seemed to be very subjective if ...The course content feels very rushed in the sense that they are just trying to cram everything in.

The WORST part though is the grading in our cohort we had chatted after the bootcamp and two people did the same thing but one person gets great marks and the other gets feedback not to do this. Grading seemed to be very subjective if you missed requirements depending on the marker you could still get good marks. The Job Assistance was very pushy and I think some people just dropped out because they didn't build rapport and was only focused on results. Educators were really smart and nice. If you are looking for a bootcamp if the price is right for you then yeah that works but would take a look at other options if you don't want to have subjective grades. - AnonymousStudent • Product Management Course • MiamiOct 06, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Insightful, hands-on learning
I took the Product Management course. It was a hands-on experience, the final project is based on applying the topics reviewed during the season for which we had the real-time guidance of the instructor. He also brought real-life examples of a product lifecycle.
The career panel events are also very insightful with speakers who work on the position and are a opportunity to network. - AnonymousGraduate • Software Engineering Bootcamp • TorontoOct 02, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Had the instructors, Jon, Kayla, Jajuan, Jim, and Logan. They were all awesome along with the brilliant TAs Fateme, Henry and Krystyna. Made this bootcamp well worth it twice over. I have a CS degree from a university and was skeptical of what to expect quality-wise, however I was really impressed and definitely recommend it. The instructors are very knowledgeable and great at conveying the course material.
Very intense pace, expect no life outside of the bootcamp for the duration (if you're taking the 3 month Software Engineering bootcamp).
The careers team could have been better about providing feedback and could have been more organized. But looks like they're doing a much better job post bootcamp so far (fingers crossed). The career team did host PowerHours with people from industry that I found invaluable (The guests provided relevant, fresh, and applicable information).
I highly recommend this Bootcamp. - AnonymousStudent • Full-Time Software Engineering Bootcamp Online • OnlineSep 27, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

An invaluable learning experience
My time at BrainStation was amazing and I'm kind of sad that it's ending as I was able to meet and work along side some of the most genuine, amazing people in my cohort! It feels surreal that I was able to learn so much in just 12 weeks. That's not to say it was a walk in the park as you will have to put in the effort and basically put your life on hold for the duration. But it was definitely worth it and learned so much. - AnonymousGraduate • User Experience Design Bootcamp • TorontoSep 27, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Educational experience!
BrainStation bootcamp was an amazing, immersive experience. It was hard at times but there was always a community and the instructors are always willing to help and connect with you. Feeling very confident finishing UX design bootcamp, the connections you make are also invaluable! Highly recommend!
