    Discouraged.

    I hate that I grew to have a type of grudge towards wyncode. Wyncode is everything everyone mentions here. You meet amazing people who become family to you. You're losing your mind studying non stop. The professors are amazing. The staff is ehhh ok. The TA's are great people. And Yes, you will most likely cry from frustation if you have no experience what so ever in coding. I was a happy student here. Even though at times I felt as if I would never be able to do this I still wanted to do w...

    Digital Marketing

    The Digital Marketing certificate was an excellent introduction into the world of Marketing and Digital Marketing. I had very little experience coming in, and it really is designed for people without a background in the field or who need to brush up on older marketing strategies/need a refresh. While it moves at a very quick pace, I felt that it covered everything that I needed to get my feet wet and prepared for at least some baseline marketing knowledge in my next role.

    Full Stack Web Developer

    This experience literally changed my life! Wyncode gave me so much structure and knowledge, as well as a great support team. The extra help you get outside classroom hours is unreal, everybody is willing to help, without making you feel like you should already know that, and with a limitless amount of patience. If you put the extra time and work, you will definitely be rewarded. A little word of advice: you should practice coding for a while before you start the bootcamp: I had no knowledg...

    BrainStation Full-Time Data Science Program Review

    I came into the course with a good understanding of basic Python programming and Data Science Algorithms from a few online courses.  I was looking for the opportunity to sit down with an experienced Data Scientist for hours, to gain some practical problem solving and technical experience. 

    Jeremy was the Data Scientist teaching the course at the time, and he was terrific! He took great care and providing top-tier education. The most significant benefit from the class was watching...

    Brainstation has some amazing programs and some not so amazing programs.

     

    Unfortunately CoureReport does not do a great job of distinguishing which sections of Brainstation are A+ 

    and which parts are C- at best.  I can tell you, without a doubt, that Courereports was instrumental

    Good experience but programming is hard

    Jo Juha & PK & Austin and whole team are awesome, you really are part of the family and they look out for you regardless of programming or life background. 

    The way the bootcamp is designed is awesome too, it really makes you not only challenge to learn coding but also to display your talents with projects so you can be proud of your skills. 

    The only thing I'll say though is that programming isn't for everybody. I barely survived the bootcamp and was always behind ...

    It was a good experience

    I think my time at Wyncode was interesting. Our cohort did not entirely get along. No one wanted to participate in socials and no one really keeps in touch. It was just a weird time.

    Overall, I thought that the curriculum was fine, and they did their best to prepare us for interviews after Wyncode.

    My biggest disapointment  is that I needed money to start paying back my loan, so I never got to actually use my new dev skills. It almost feels like a waste of money.

    Hi there,
    I just wanted to briefly address your concerns:

    I am sorry that the cohort you were in did not mesh socially in the way that many of the classes here do during their time in the Wyncode program. We have high admissions requirements and we try to carefully curate our classes to try to make sure that everyone will get along and work well together, but that's nearly impossible to guarantee. 

    Also, most Wyncoders find that it’s more than a cohort, it becomes a lifelong network of friends and colleagues that can help to grow within the same tech ecosystem. We are sorry that you didn’t feel that way. Sometimes one personality might just not mix in with the group. That said, our doors are always open for lifetime job support and networking and all 600+ grads are available to you via Slack; along with teaching assistants and our instructors are here to help you get plugged into groups that are part of the tech/development area here in South Florida.

    We want you to be able to utilize the skills you learned at Wyncode, so please come by and get reconnected with our Director of Hiring Partnerships and Wynwork team, so that we can help get you going in the right direction with regard to finding work that does encompass the type of development that you want to do and are capable of doing. 

    As always, please feel free to come by the campus, connect via Slack or give us a call anytime. We hope to see you again soon and help get you on track to working as a developer.

    Great experience overall

    I attended BrainStation for the full time web development course in the Summer 2017 cohort.

    Overall, I have nothing but great things to say about the course, its instructors and the people I met throughout my ten weeks there. I personally had dabbled in development before taking the course (not web), and I certainly still found the course challenging and fulfilling. From my own experience and from others, I believe that to get the most out of the WDFT course, you should have at lea...

    Digital Marketing (part-time) program | Great general overview

    I recently completed Brainstation's Digital Marketing (part-time) program this summer, and was pleased with the learnings I took away from the course. Coming from a Communications background, and having dug a little into digital in my own spare time, this program was a great refresher about the general scope of digital marketing - from SEO/SEM, social media best practices, Google Analytics/Adwords, content creation, and generating ad campaigns. That being said, if you're looking for a deep...
