    Product Management Course at BrainStation

    I really enjoyed the course. The instructors were amazing and class was very dynamic with students asking a lot of great questions. I am transitioning from Project management to product management so I feel I need a lot of self study in order to be able to transiton to product management.

    Totally worth it!

    I recently completed the Product Management course at BrainStation and for me personally it was absolutely worth the investment. 
    The course is well-structured, covering essential aspects like product strategy, Agile, prototyping, and go-to-market strategies. What stood out for me was the hands-on, project-based approach, which made the learning process practical and applicable to real-world scenarios.

    The course was well worth the cost.

    The course is led by very knowledgeable instructors.  They were both very good at providing a good overview of digital marketing strategies.  Th instructors were also great communicators and they covered a wide range of topics.  The content was up to date and it reflected all of the latest trends, particularly AI.  After the course ended, I felt well prepared to embark on my digital marketing journey.

    Extremely Rewarding

    I cannot say enough good things about the Brainstation Digital Marketing Certificate course. So much knowledge is packed into this bootcamp that I know will be useful in my future career endeavours. I truly feel like I have a high level understanding of several of the components taught in this course. I was pushed out of my comfort zone multiple times throughout the group-work exercises and final project. The instructors are very thorough, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I do think ...

    I am fairly happy with the results and outcome of this course, although my only concern would be being able to download the resources so we can have for future reference. Overall, it was a great experience and time well spent learning. Instructors were really great and helpful in many ways!

    Software Engineering Bootcamp at BrainStation

    I enrolled in BrainStation's software engineering BootCamp with high expectations due to its renowned reputation in the industry. The course has been enjoyable overall, but there are notable aspects that could be improved.

    The quality of the experience seems heavily dependent on the instructors. Unfortunately, I've faced challenges in understanding and navigating the course due to inconsistencies in teaching styles. This being my first BootCamp, I'm unsure if this is a...

    Great Course

    This class was very informative, for the digital marketing class, all I would say is being more practical, with not just the teaching, but incorporating teaching with the practical. Karen Yu was an incredible lecturer as well at Brainstation.

    Great Educators, Great Resources

    I just graduated from the September 2023 cohort. There were three excellent primary educators and 3 TAs for around 35-40 students. The curriculum is excellent, but expect a genuinely lightning pace! I had a wonderful experience, but I had a little bit of experience going in, and had no other commitments. I would hesitate to recommend it if you have other commitments, and would highly encourage having at least some beginner knowledge before enrolling, but if you're genuinely excited about...

    A Code-Intensive Bootcamp Experience

    I had the privilege of participating in an intensive coding bootcamp at BrainStation, where the emphasis on programming was truly exceptional. The instructors were not only highly skilled but also incredibly supportive and eager to help, always ready to clarify doubts. The constant guidance and follow-up throughout the program provided a clear insight into the world of software development. This bootcamp not only honed my technical skills but also gave me a realistic preview of what it's...

    Great bootcamp, can't speak for the future career yet but the Education team I worked with was beyond fantastic, they push you to be your best and are there for you when you need it.
    I wish I could put into words how much I appreciate their care and help with our education, both from Teachers and Teachers Assistants.

    Extremely supportive Bootcamp

    I was extremely impressed with the ability to modify the curriculum as best they could based on my personal learning disability. The instructors and Ta's were supportive and available to help as much as I needed. What I would hope is that they can have some type questionnaire to find out if the student has a learning disability like adhd to be able to tailor the curriculum to the students need for them to be successful.
