To be honest, my experience at wyncode was more than I could have asked for from TA's to the instructors, and staff. They are all very supportive 24/7 with anything you may need for the coursework, projects, and of course getting the best out of your wyncode experience. Auston and PK are more than outstanding. At the end of the 10 weeks you may be exahausted or may have thought everything has gone to waste, but really you've gained knowledge, skill, and a great new family.
I completed wyncode cohort21 and It was a life changing experience. I met amazon people learned technologies and achieved things I didn’t know was possible in only 10 weeks. The staff really cares about the students. The head instructors are very knowledgeable. One of the best things about wyncode is the culture “never stop learning” that is a wyncode motto that the staff and students embrace.
Wyncode was a life-changing experience in so many ways. I intended to change my career and do something I'm passionate about and love (coding).
Wyncode was supportive from the start. Allowing me to apply for a scholarship, giving me a great option to pay and supporting me throughout my time there academically and emotionally.
It was a hard journey learning and evolving but well worth it. I obtained a job two weeks after graduation.

The co-founders, teachers, and staff are the BEST!

It's hard to sum up the Wyncode experience in a short review so I'll do my best to keep things concise!
Wyncode has truly been a life changing experience. I remember reading similar statements on course report before starting and was skeptical... but it truly was. It is a very intense 11 weeks but if you are 200% committed in doing whatever it takes to become a web-developer you'll do just fine.

Wyncode has truly been a life changing experience. I remember reading similar statements on course report before starting and was skeptical... but it truly was. It is a very intense 11 weeks but if you are 200% committed in doing whatever it takes to become a web-developer you'll do just fine. My favorite things about Wyncode were the instructors who across the board were incredibly competent and passionate about their work. My head instructor (Ed Toro) was AMAZING and the teaching assistants played a crucial role in helping people along the way. My cohort was especially warm and supportive (which is important when spending 12 hours a day with them!). The support team at Wyncode was also all around amazing and very receptive to feedback. Wyncode on the whole does an amazing job of catering quickly to student needs.
All in all my experience at Wyncode was everything I had hoped and expected. My team won pitch day and I was hired before the bootcamp was finished. I can't say this was the case for everyone and I feel very fortunate to be in the position I am in now.
Some Words of Advice
- Anyone Can Code (Sort of) Yes that is true... however that doesn't mean it is for everyone. Be sure you understand what you are getting into. Coding is very much a hard skill that needs to be PRACTICED. Wyncode is not a college style course where you can skate by, get a pat on your back and add it to your resume. Don't be this person: "Wow 91% hiring rate, all I need to do is enroll and I'll be set". Employers will know if you can code or not and that's on you. Wyncode will do everything it can to help you succeed but you need to put in every ounce of effort. Any negative reviews on course report most likely come from people who unfortunately didn't understand what they were getting into or didn't understand the crazy amount of effort needed to make it work.
- PREPARE LIKE HELL. Do NOT think that the pre-work is sufficient for being ready to start this course. My recommendations before starting (also what I did):
If you are deciding on starting a cohort sooner vs later, I would complete the above before enrolling.
- There is free parking around the corner!
Do not trust reviews that say otherwise. These come from people who for some reason refuse to walk 1-minute to campus!
Wyncode to me is a good investment if you love tech, have a foot in the door for a tech opportunity, know what your plans are after the course or just want to learn something new. I don’t recommend it for people who just want to change careers because tech is booming right now this has to be something you’re hungry for.

Wyncode to me is a good investment if you love tech, have a foot in the door for a tech opportunity, know what your plans are after the course or just want to learn something new. I don’t recommend it for people who just want to change careers because tech is booming right now this has to be something you’re hungry for.
I was fortunate enough to have both instructors during my cohort and both have very different styles of teaching. Ed knows so much and get really excited about his passion but it tends to make him speed up so if you’re not keeping up you have to ask a billion questions per day just to keep pace. Auston is younger, more laid back, and is more relatable to people who are newer to the tech/ coding field. He knows his stuff as well and his approach to helping you understand on your level is awesome.
The space is great, it can be noisy at times but after class there’s usually a classroom dedicated to quiet hours and a picnic table outside to help. Next door is a gym that plays loud bass EDM often during those quiet hours but it’s ways to work around it.
Wyncode always has events to help network, learn new skills, hackathons etc and yes FREE FOOD. Parking does suck so a uber or some type of bike may do you best. Being in Miami before class (9am) and after (5pm) you will run into heavy traffic GUARANTEED so plan accordingly.
The curriculum is tough especially for the first 3-4 weeks but if this is something you really really want you’ll overcome it without even noticing it but YOU HAVE TO PUT THE WORK IN. The TAs are great, they’re of limited supply during most days but it’s easier if you find a classmate working on what you are and work together.
JOBS ARE NOT GUARANTEED, getting a job is just the same as applying and interviewing at any other job in the country, you have to sell yourself and your skills, work hard and never stop learning
Great place to learn and improve skills! I completed the Product Management course at Brainstation Vancouver during the fall and it was great. The content of the course gave me a complete view of the Product Management lifecycle; we went over the different areas for PdM, as well as some valuable tools & techniques: product canvas, personas, mvp, mkt analysis, pricing, risks, roadmap, and many more. If you are new to PdM or want to get some PdM technical training, then this is the place...

If you are new to PdM or want to get some PdM technical training, then this is the place to go.
Also, after taking this course I did a CSPO training and I can say that Brainstation's course was very very valuable for the CSPO training too! So, if you're thinking about CSPO certification, then I'd also recommend doing Brainstation's PdM course, as it will prepare you deep in the PdM field.
The trainers are experts in the PdM field and will guide you during the course in the definition of a product idea as this a hands-on course.
Staff was very very friendly and helpful! Thanks girls! Facilities are minimalistic and are perfect for a collaborative environment, plus it's located right in downtown.
BrainStation was an easy choice when I saw that they offered a part-time gig in the evenings that I could fit into my busy work schedule. Although it was sometimes difficult to sit in a classroom after a work day, I always left with more valuable knowledge than I walked in with, which I see as a 100% success for a course. It was awesome to be able to put together a final project to begin a Data Science portfolio for potential new employers to be able to see. The course itself covered a bro...

Although it was sometimes difficult to sit in a classroom after a work day, I always left with more valuable knowledge than I walked in with, which I see as a 100% success for a course. It was awesome to be able to put together a final project to begin a Data Science portfolio for potential new employers to be able to see. The course itself covered a broad area of Python which I found very useful. Overall I would highly suggest this class to anyone looking to get a head-start in the data analytics industry!
I've just finished the Digital Marketing course at the Toronto BrainStation campus, and to be honest, I'm kind of sad about it. I felt a surge of energy every time I attended class, and BrainStation became one of the highlights of my week. The instructors are amazing, as they bring in real-world experience and break down complicated subjects so that students can understand them.

I loved the youthful, tech-focused and positive vibe permeating the space, especially because it provided a great environment for networking with my teachers and fellow students. And the free snacks were always a nice bonus! I'll definitely be back for a few weekend workshops. Maybe I'll see you there?
The Product Management course at Brainstation gave me new ways of looking at challenges I deal with on a daily basis. The course followed a logical progression from ideation, to development to launch and analysis of a new product, and the content was very relevant and practical.

I enrolled with the part-time course in Product Management with BrainStation to have a more holistic view of the role of a product manager. This course has helped me to further understand how to manage the lifecycle of a product, has provided me with powerful management resources, and industry-standard structural tools to keep going.

I work full time monday to friday, including some events on weekends and I also commute into work so my time is precious. This course was perfect for someone like me because it was only once a week for 10 weeks. It didn't do the deepest dive into each sub category of digital marketing, but it was an awesome intro course. For someone who had no digital marketing schooling I do feel as if I could hold a conversation with a digital marketer and contribute postively. The content is also set up...

The content is also set up perfectly for you to review and take a deeper dive on your own since each lesson had a list of outside resources to refer to. Would definitely recommend to friends and have already!
BrainStation does a very good job of covering all of the bases, from SEO/SEM to paid advertising and email marketing automation. I especially liked the setup having different instructors, all with practical work backgrounds, who taught specific lessons based on their area of expertise. I would've liked a greater emphasis on the hands-on component and job search/interview prep aspects, but overall it was a great course!
