    Great introductory course

    Over the course of 8 weeks, our experienced teachers taught us what product management entails, using examples from their extensive careers. The lessons were highly interactive and the whole group was engaged. Having to submit a final project really helps you practice what you learn over the course of the lessons.

    A solid foundation for data analytics

    The Data Analytics class was an incredibly fun learning experience. The course covered database structures, SQL, Tableau and some basic presentation skills. All in all, it felt like a solid starting point in data analytics. The instructor was knowledgeable, approachable and fun to be around, and always available to clarify concepts and answer questions.

    Great Experience!

    I learned VBA, Tableau, how to prepare for a case interview and general best practices for analytics. This gave me a huge boost when applying for jobs, and I'm glad I had a solid in-person experience in which I met peers and was able to engage directly with the instructors.

    Intense yet supportive & practical

    The main reasons I chose this program above any other was the accountability I would get with a schedule for my personal learning style and the opportunity to work on a project collaboratively with web dev and data analysts. 

    I took the part time course but it is by no means a part time course after unit 1. Be prepared to commit to the course load. Much of what you get back from this program is what you put in and the most valuable input is the feedback you get from your teachers ...

    High voltage, high velocity learning experience

    Brainstation has a horde of talented instructors who are available for you to schedule plenty of 1 on 1 time with titans who really know their stuff.
    The curriculum is brutal, and if you choose the 3 month bootcamp for data science, you're in for a wild ride.

    It starts off slow and steady, learning some SQL, learning some reporting and communication practices,
    then it goes into python and begins accelerating rapidly into advanced statistical concepts.
