    Great Stepping Stone

    I had been thinking of getting into the tech industry for a while, but I wasn't sure how to do it. After doing some research, I found that code bootcamps were a potential way to get my foot in the door. Of all the bootcamps that I researched, Wyncode stood out to me because of the people that worked there. Jo and Juha are genuinely nice people who go out of their way to make themselves available to you, even though they are extremely busy. Andy, for all of his accomplishments, is a very mo...

    Guys, I am the kind of guys who reads and writes a lot of reviews because I think they are the key to continuous improvement.

    Wyncode is one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life, I think mostly because of the human quality of the team. You are dedicated to us the students and we can see that everyday.

    Full stack web developer

    My time at Wyncode was definitely well spent. I learned a lot about the growth mindset and many different coding languages. Most importantly though, I learned that I can learn any language and how to apply myself in that way. It was a lot of work and not something I can recommend to everyone, but if you put the effort in and do all that they ask, you will come out as a successful graduate. I look forward to working with them to help find my first job in the tech field.

    Great overall snaphot of an emerging industry.

    This might have been one of the more intense learning environments I have encountered. Having said that, I appreciate how immersive and all-encompassing the curriculum was. There may have been a bit too much content in a small period of time. But it gave me a chance to see how the wide industry looks, works and how it will affect my life. Now I am utilizing the tools given to create an insightful plan of attack.

    One of the best experiences of my life

    BrainStation was one of the best experiences of my life. It introduced me to the tech industry in such a fantastic way. I hit the ground running and have been set on an incredibly positive trajectory of which I never before thought possible.

    UX/UI Design | Full-Time 12 Week Diploma Program

    I made a career switch from Commercial Real Estate Research to UX Design and I am so incredibly glad I chose BrainStation to guide me along the way.

    Don't get me wrong, the program is INTENSE. 480 hours of class time over 12 weeks plus 20-40 hours/week outside of school requires focus, determination and self discipline. However, our educators and TAs make every effort to provide the support you need and ensure you're grasping each concept.
