Great jumpstart into UX Design
This class was awesome for dipping your toes into all things UX Design in the course of 10 weeks! It is not great at deep diving into each individual subject matter within the course but I thoroughly enjoyed learning a little about all of the different topics and feel I have a much better understanding of the subject matter. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp • VancouverDec 14, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Challenging but exciting!
I'm so happy being a Data Science student in BrainStation bootcamp. There is a friendly and supportive atmosphere. A special thanks to my highly professional educators for practical lectures and useful insights. I couldn't imagine that with my business background in 3 months I'll be able to work with Data, analyze and visualize this using different tools, work in Python and R, realize how Machine Learning works and do my first Capstone project in Data field.

Great experience - Missing some detail
BrainStation was recommended to me by a friend. I found the course to be informative and to the point. We were taught what was current and given tips for advanced Data Analyst reports.
I found some details to be missing and I had to do a lot of work on my own to understand Tableau. If you're having trouble starting a career in Data Analysis with an online course like Codecademy, I really recommend the group environment and industry professional audited course. - AnonymousStudent • Data Analytics Course • TorontoDec 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
AMAZING Data Analytics Crash Course
I took the Data Analytics crash course for 10 weeks at Brainstation. I learned alot about Tableau, SQL and more tips/tricks about Microsoft Excel in order to harness more skills for myself. Very excited to have gone on this journey and excited to learning more! - AnonymousStudent • Data Science Bootcamp • VancouverDec 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Enjoyed every minute at the BrainStation Data Science Bootcamp!!!
I enjoyed very much the Data Science Bootcamp, have learned sooo much from Data Analysis basic tools, such as SQL, Tableau, Python(Pandas, Numpy), as well as the basic statistics(Hypothesis Testing, Linear/Logistic Regression) needed for Data Science. Also, I have learned advanced machine learning and deep learning tools, such as sklearn; various ML models, such as KNN, Decision Trees, SVM, and more advanced methods such as ensemble, unsupervised learning - clustering.

We also touched upon the foundation of building neural network using keras. I also had chance to work with different types of data, numeric data, text data, image data etc. The educators and TA are very supportive in learning and Capstone guidance.

Amazing
It has been a good journey for me in BS DS bootcamp. I learned a lot of stuff in 3 months which I could have learned in 1 year. The instructors are good, I learned a lot from them. Borna has been amazing as well as Arti and Fallyn.
The only thing I did not like is it's way more expensive. 16000$ is too much for 3 months.
Talking about content it has been super amazing, starting from SQL, then ML techniques and there production.

In improvement I would say BS can work on foucusing SQL and other relationship databases as these are the things which matter the most in a entry level job. Also I have not learned anything about MS excel which actually most companies actually require for analysis. - AnonymousSr. Customer Support Specialist • Student • Product Management Course • TorontoDec 08, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
A high level introduction to Product Management
Thanks to the Product Management course I was able to familiarize myself with the concepts used by the Product Team at my organization.

Really good experience! The instructors are very qualified and the campus is amazing. I met some great people in class too. Not sure about the job assistance after the program. I know that that's a major part of their boot camps but not the certificates.
