    Digital Marketing Part-Time

    I decided to take the Digital Marketing course to improve my marketing skills and to translate my knowledge of traditional marketing to the digital world. 

    The course feels really complete as you study every aspect of digital marketing. 

    It is really inspiring to have instructors working in the industry. Their experience and real-life examples help to understand the content way more than a tradional text book. 

    The space is beautiful and welcoming.

    Bad location!

    I signed up for Wyncode's September starting class, Despite the efforts of traveling down a 4 hour drive from home, and staying with family, mind you... the Miami traffic of at least 1 hour and 10 minutes for a 20 mile ride back and forth. As I thought it would be worth the investment, there is no free parking, only street paid parking, which you have to be aware of the ticket maids. Small spot, lots of students, very noisy, there is some sort of Zumba techno gym adjacent to the school, wh...

    Hi Marisol,

    We appreciate your feedback and wish you would have been able to stay with us for the entire Wyncode experience. During your one week in the program, we provided as much support as possible and it’s unfortunate we weren’t able to execute an action plan to get you caught up. The Wyncode curriculum is challenging but is catered to beginners. In fact, some of our most successful graduates had little to no prior experience with coding before learning with us. Beyond the teacher assistant support provided every day, we also offer the opportunity for developers who require a stronger foundation to repeat the first five weeks at no cost.

    We apologize about your parking situation. In our orientation, we share free parking areas located within a 5-minute walk of the campus. I definitely appreciate your concern about the atmosphere of Wynbase. With an alumni base of over 450 developers, we often have visitors and guests but we do our best to keep the environment conducive to learning. Even with the lively environment at Wynbase, we also seek to include spaces where developers can work quietly. For example, in our head instructor’s Auston Bunsen’s classroom, we have a designated quiet space starting every day at 5:30 pm. The installation of the sound-proof pads has also begun and should go a long way towards helping with the sound from next door.

    Thank you for considering us, and best of luck with your journey learning to code!

    Best,

    Matt Campbell, Director of Admissions at Wyncode

    Digital Marketing

    If you want exposure to industry leaders in Toronto or Vancouver - BrainStation is the place to go. The campus is not only an exciting place to learn about industry knowledge but also a place to expand your interest. 

    The course is fast paced but it has a lot to offer for those with basic industry knowledge or no industry knowledge. Acess to the dashboards allows you to review material at any time and they cover a wide selection of marketing tools, strategies, and success stories...

    Opens up an entire world of possibilities

    I like to start out by saying that my experience at Wyncode was wonderful. The school environment empowers the students and the faculty to be successful. 

    The reason for the title of this review is because once you graduate from a course like this, you have a unique set of tools at your disposal. This combined with the lifetime backup/support from the faculty and the graduates really sets you apart in the digital space. Another thing to add is that the network of companies that W...

    Social Media Strategy Workshop - Highly Recommended

    I attended the Social Media Strategy Workshop and it was packed with valuable content. The content was useful and up to date, the lecturer was someone in the field with great experience, and the group break-out sessions were a great way to put the day's workshop learnings to use.I

    would highly recommend this to anyone looking to brush up on their social media strategy skills, along with adding valuable insights to their already well tailored social media strategy arsenal.

    SEM/SEO Course

    Had a great time at the part-time SEM/SEO Analytics course this past semester in Vancouver. The teachers had a tonne of industry experience. I personally learn by applying my knowledge, so it was great to have hands on experience during class as well as help on hand, when needed. We also had a very diverse class with varying degrees of experience: from realtors, to individuals working in agencies, to people looking to retrain and get into the industry.

    SEO/SEM & Analytics

    I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the SEO/SEM & Analytics course at Brainstation! Working in Social Media, SEO has always been something I knew I should know about but I had a hard time finding the right course. I find that I learn better from hands on learning and this course is all about that. I feel confident that I can take the skills I’ve learned from this course out into the world!

    Part time web-development course

    I absolutely enjoyed my part time web development class! Having only limited knowledge in web development to start with and working in a field that is completely unrelated, I was very surprised by my own progress throughout the program. We started off with the building basic HTML schematics in week 1, and had progressed into building a website from a markup just a few weeks after. 

    The class incorporated hands-on projects each class to help us practice, which were incredibly h...
