    A Level Educators

    Everything I was taught is updated industry standard at a Sr level, which I verified several times throughout the bootcamp, and was also verified by industry professionals of complementing fields. All the educators have an outstanding career and knowledge, and have the passion to translate that into teachings. I was given personalized attention and advise. I highly recommend this program to anyone who's interested in advancing their career in UX Design.

    Transformative, intense, excellent

    Had a really good time during this bootcamp, all the educators and TA’s were really helpful throughout the experience helping me out with any questions I had. As for the curriculum, we learned up to date/in demand coding languages such as JS, MySQL, nodeJS, CSS and HTML. I went from being a complete beginner to being able to create full stack applications from scratch in the space of 12 weeks. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to get a foot in the door of the ...

    Fast-paced success

    I started knowing only basic HTML and CSS, and now I know how to build full-stack applications that can be deployed on the internet. I am grateful for the support the BrainStation staff provided, mainly through open studio and various help and review sessions to help me fully understand the content I was being taught. There was little to no filler content and everything that was taught was very practical.

    Learned a lot fast

    Wow, went from knowing the abcs of HTML to building out my own react application. I learned so much in this course, the instructors were approachable, kind and open to questions. It was hard to keep up at certain points but that's because we covered so much material. I feel like I know so much more now and I'm ready to continue my learning journey.

    Incredible experience

    BrainStation was a great experience and I cannot recommend it enough. Over the 12 week bootcamp, I've learned so much and had the opportunity to dive in deeper to the user experience design process to really understand every aspect, from UX to UI. The educators for my cohort, Lauren and Noelle, were extremely helpful and provided a lot of guidance and great feedback.

    I so Grateful with BrainStation!

    Before BrainStation (BS), I was attempting to transition into the world of a software engineer, building projects and acquiring all the skills needed for a full-stack developer. I invested a considerable amount of time and money, and honestly, it was a challenging journey. However, I couldn't develop the skills I gained here at BS.

    Now, let me tell you, the educators at BrainStation are not just amazing, they're like the rockstars of teaching! I absolutely adore the modern system ...

    A very beneficial experience

    BrainStation’s Software Engineering course has far exceeded my expectations of what a bootcamp can do for its students. Over the course of 12 weeks, I learned more than I possibly could have imagined, with incredible support from my educators, TAs, and CAP coach. Working on real industry projects has helped me gain a good overview of what working in the field will be like.

    I had an amazing experience this past 3 months. Everything in the program is helpful and relevant with what we need to start our carrier in this technological world. Since the beginning they were always asking me how I feel, if I had any question and in case I did had a question, they will sit with me on a 1 on 1 and explain everything that I had trouble with.                                                                                                                                  ...
