    Intensive, sustained Career transformation

    Before joining the boot camp, I was skeptical as I had to forgo 3-4 paychecks of my career. But by the end of the first week, I realized I had to play catch up as they delivered day after day, week after week, highly structured, academic-industry relevant, highly technical content. Their project-based learning is highly effective, and this is what gives us confidence in our transformation. The time-bound nature of the assignment submissions was ruthless, leaving me scrambling for the las...

    Data Science course was a blast!

    From the Python and Statistics prep material to actual course materials, everything was carefully selected for industry relevance and for the fast learning pace. The instructors made sure we understood everything before moving to the next concept and also, interaction amongst the students were a great help in grasping difficult concepts. Although the course got exponentially difficult towards the end of the course, I highly recommend this course to others looking to up-skill data science...

    Hectic, eye-opening, transformative.

    The data science bootcamp experience was nothing short of a whirlwind. The atmosphere was hectic, with tight deadlines and a constant flow of new concepts to grasp. However, amidst the chaos, the journey proved to be truly eye-opening. Each lecture and project revealed the vast potential and intricacies of data science. The intensity of the program was not just about data science; it was a transformative process that pushed boundaries and reshaped perspectives. Through the sleepless nigh...

    PM Course - great for aspiring PMs but also entrepreneurs

    I took BrainStation's Product Management course which lasted for 8 weeks, one class (3 hours) per week. Although this course is geared towards those interested in starting a Product Management career, I felt that the course was much more expansive! The course is structured in a way that you learn how to build products from 0 to 1 -- great for those also interested in becoming a founder or even understanding a product's life cycle (helpful if working in strategy x tech).

    Great place to learn the basics.

    I really enjoyed taking this course with Brainstation, I had some background experience in the UI/UX design field but I wanted to expand my UX knowledge. This course is a good place to learn the basics of UX so its very approachable for someone with no industry experience. If you have reasonable UI knowledge the content at the end of the course is a little familiar. Brainstation has a seperate UI course so I didn't expect this.

    I enjoyed that the whole course was based around buil...

    Stressful but extremely rewarding experience!

    Coming out of the Architecture profession and looking for a career transition to UX Design, I first attended BrainStation's 'Intro: UX Design' workshop to have a taste for what it entailed. It left such an impression on me that I signed up for the bootcamp course the following day! 

    Having just graduated from the course, I can say it was one of the most challenging yet rewarding things I've done. During the 12 weeks, I was pushed out of my comfort zone, to think critically and pro...
