    Web Development Bootcamp

    During my time at BrainStation, I enrolled in the web development bootcamp. Although I had no prior hands-on coding experience, I was initially hesitant about my ability to fully comprehend the course material. However, the structured syllabus, knowledgeable and approachable instructors, and helpful teaching assistants made my transition into this new career path much smoother. Thanks to the practical, hands-on approach to teaching, which was emphasized during class and project assignmen...

    engaging, thorough, professional, balanced,

    The UI Design course was an incredible experience! The instructors were not only amazing but also highly knowledgeable in their field. Their positive and inspiring approach made the learning process enjoyable. I learned a great deal from this course and feel confident in my UI design skills now though I need to continue to work and refine them. Cheers!

    Amazing!!!

    The instructor was very helpful, and the course was very easy to follow. It was such a pleasure to study under Anas and Silvia!! Lessons on UI were very informative, the only suggestion I have is to create an agreement early on to ensure that no student will be cutting off other students with questions or interrupting the class.

    UI Bootcamp - Brainstation

    Overall it was a wonderful experience with great instructors that have industry knowledge, they were patient and understanding with all the students. They made the effort to make time for 15-30 mins after the end of each class for anyone to answer questions or show off the work they were doing and get a design review.

    It was a positive introduction to the world of data and a solid first step in my journey.

    Perfect Class for Data Analytics Basics!

    I started a new role as a data analyst and this class was a nice refresher on advanced excel and a great introduction to the basics of SQL and Tableau. Our instructor Elana was so patient and kind and made sure she answered all of our questions. I loved that she used real use cases from her job at Roku to help us understand certain concepts. I enjoyed that it was in person and that it was once a week and only for a few months - it was very manageable. I would recommend this to anyone who...

    Very enjoyable, high level teaching

    I enrolled in the data analytics course to make my CV more well rounded having come from a humanities background at university. I have really enjoyed this course as an inviting and stimulating introduction to the world of data analytics. The teaching has been very good and has very much inspired me to go further into the data analytics field.

    Data Science Course at BrainStation

    The course was insightful and learned about regressions. This course focused on Python only. I wish we also got to work with other languages and wish it was longer than 8 weeks. Felt like we only brushed over the more important topics like linear regression and classification because the class was only 8 weeks. Wish we spent more time on it. The instructors are very helpful and always willing to explain concepts further and answer questions. I just wish we divided into the more important...
