The course culture is highly supportive, fostering the development of both skills and confidence needed to enter the workforce and build a successful career.Were there some shortcomings? Of course—no program is perfect. I wish we had spent ...

    Informative and Practical

    Great experience at the Brainstation Bootcamp. The teachers were very helpful and I gained a lot of practical knowledge and experience learning software engineering. It was definitely a tough commitment to do full-time for 12 weeks and the bootcamp was very fast-paced, so it may not be for everyone, but for those who truly want to learn software fast, Brainstation is a great place to not just dip your toes in the war but cannonball into the pool.

    Extremely Insightful

    The course has been really insightful and has taught me a great deal about digital marketing and nagivating different datasets. I have learned a lot for my own business regarding Google Analytics and ads and how to use them efficiently for my purposes.

    Jad Freiha and Jonathan Serrano Barbosa are wonderful instructors, and teach really well. 

    I am really happy with the course.

    In-Person Quality Time

    I had a positive experience here.  Two in-industry instructors rounded each other's expertise, which allowed me to feel like the instruction was relevant.  That a being said, being that the course was only once a week for 8-weeks, it would have fallen far short of being an in-depth, comprehensive class or bootcamp.  If you are someone without any skills in UI/UX and are looking for an introduction, this would be the course--however, the cost is a little pricey for information that you co...

    Helpful, Improvement, Insight

    I really enjoyed the UX Design course at BrainStation. I started with no knowledge of making a story-telling prototype with supportive instructors in my class. I lacked a lot of confidence however, with 1:1 reviews and being independent with my design, I have learned so much just being in the classroom environment.

    Product Management Course

    Tech is rapidly growing and having certifications is a must add on any resume. Coming from a background of project and program manager, I was familiar wit many of the concepts related to product management but not all of them. It was a nice learning experience to dive into product and how product managers do wear many different hats and deal with many different stakeholders.
