I personally tried learning these skills on my own however I can say with certainty I would not have covered so much in so little time. It’s the routine of those 12 weeks which help in learning. Though, many times I would feel that its too much and I’m not capable of doing it but strived through and completed it. The team at BrainStation is knowledge and they help you along each step.
They also have a strong career support team which help you throughout the bootcamp and prepare you well to face the world post bootcamp.
If anyone is thinking about joining a bootcamp, they should definitely look into BrainStation.

I was happy with the breadth of material we covered— I am also happy with the depth we had in python. As someone with very little experience coding before the program I can comfortably code in python and I feel familiar enough with SQL and R to get more practice on my own.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

I have learned so much already ( I don't have any background experience in UX. Coming from a psychology background). Now don't get me wrong, it is a bootcamp, and it's a lot of after-hours working on projects and research, but if you're looking to learn and be prepared for the real world in just under three months, then this bootcamp will do just that. The educators are amazing ( if you happen to be in Joel MacLeod's class, you just won the lottery). The educators teaching my cohort and TA are all very knowledgable and shine a lot of insight into what goes on in the world of UX. If you're considering this bootcamp, I highly recommend getting familiar with the softwares you'll be using (Figma unless it's something new by the time you read this) to give yourself a head start. Overall, great experience!Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

You learn a lot of information in a short amount of time, which can feel overwhelming but is an excellent way to learn more skills than just marketing skills- time management, prioritizing, organizing, etc. My course got moved online shortly before it was supposed to begin in-person, and at first I thought I would hate it, but it was actually totally fine and they have the online teaching down to a science. I would totally recommend it if you're looking to get into digital marketing, many of my classmates got jobs quickly even without previous marketing experience! Everything you learn is actual skills you will use on the job, and they really help you create an awesome portfolio and help you find a job.

The Python course was good but I think you can learn the same material cheaper elsewhere. However, the Data Science course was definitely worth the money but you need the Python knowledge to complete it.
Both courses were taught by Luis Andrade (based in London) who has a lot of experience in the field as well as teaching the material. Luis was very friendly and I did not hesitate to ask questions when needed. The fact the course was instructor led meant that you could ask questions as you went along and had help finding solutions to difficult problems (compared to some other courses where you watch a video and learn at your own pace). I really enjoyed working on my final project which provided me the opportunity to put my newly gained skills to a real life problem. I would highly recommend this course. It is a tough course, so be prepared to put in the time especially to wrap your head around all the statistics theory. In terms of constructive feedback, I would say if there are any questions regardless of where they appear in the workbook, solutions should be provided to aid the students learning experience.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job support3.0Instructors5.0 -

However, Daniel and Zain, our amazing educators, did everything to make this intimidating experience an enjoyable one! It also helped that I took the bootcamp in person and was very fortunate to have some of the most friendly and talented classmates who I am in regular contact with after graduation. I was very lucky to have found my first data science job through BrainStation's Demo Day so the investment was well worth it for me.
