    Awesome UX Design program

    Great school whether you’re a beginner or have some design and computer skills. I learned so much. The bootcamp moves extremely fast and it’s very intense, but when you look back you really see how
    Much you’ve learned and how far you’ve grown. I’ll be back for some of the networking programs. Thanks!

    FANTASTIC. BRILLIANT.

    Having previously attended a part-time bootcamp, I can say that this program goes above and beyond. This program fully prepares you from 0 to being able to secure a full time job in 3 months. It’s tough, and it’s called a “bootcamp” for a reason, but it is absolutely worth it. And it true, you get out what you put in. Their career assistance, is amazing. They continue to help even months after graduating. This program has fully transformed my career life and I am so happy to have been a ...

    Feeling accomplished as a beginner web developer

    I found the Web Development certificate purely by chance and I'm grateful for the guidance and support that I received as an applicant and learner with Brain Station. I found the instructor to be incredibly knowledgeable and provided real-life examples through his expertise. I'd highly recommend if you're looking to begin your web development career.

    Product Management in 8 weeks

    BrainStation's Product Management course was great. Lots of information condensed into a cohesive structure to make sure we understand the best practices for each process of product management. David and Lucianne were amazing instructors who are super knowledgeable and very supportive throughout the course. The final project was a great opportunity to apply the theory into practice. Thank you so much!

The professors are great and they provide all the support needed with real world experience. The course covers the topics needed for you to start as a web developer. More than giving you the technical knowledge, it will improve your mindset to be a continuous learner.

    Excellent intro to Product Management

    I've attended the Product Management course at Brainstation, London.
    The course was 8 weeks long, one evening per week.
    The instructors work in important companies as PMs, therefore very experienced and knowledgable.

    The course involves a final presentation about your product idea - expect to spend an extra two to three hours a week for this.
    During the class, students are provided with real industry examples as well as feedback and suggestions about their projects.

    Great instructors and fantastic insights on Data science

    I come from a technical background which helped me staying easily on track with this course. I would imagine that people starting from scratch might feel intimidated by the workload but it is definitely a very insightful course. I started the course knowing that communication with the instructors would be the essential part, so their availability to talk and answer questions was great and fundamental to get the most knowledge out of them.
