A year ago I was a disgruntled employee at a major Canadian oil company. Now I’m working as an Account Manager in the heart of San Fran tech. I wouldn’t be where I am without the content I learned at BrainStation. Mind you I never intended to be a web developer, I always wanted to work in a customer facing role in tech. But what the web development bootcamp turned me into is the most technically capable member of the sales team at my company. I’ll admit that BrainStations career assistance had nothing to do with me landing my actual job. But it made me over qualified for my day to day work. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.Overall4.0Curriculum5.0Job support3.0Instructors5.0 -

The class was way too full, I felt so bad for the instructors. We spent 2 of the classes just listening to other people's projects and the other classes whizzing through the material because the presentations took up so much time. I even submitted feedback that I had a bad experience and would like to talk to someone about it, never heard from anyone.
Now I'm trying to access course materials to review for my current role and I'm barred from accessing it 6 moths after paying thousands of dollars in tuition. The customer service agent has been zero help and evidently a disappointing experience went from bad to even worse somehow.

Simply saying "cool," how entertaining and exciting the whole course was (it indeed was so worth taking! Special thank you to the best instructors Scott and Haeri, you made it full of fun and joy!)
It is indeed not enough words to express my experience and my personal opinion on the decision I had made. Scott and Haeri are well-educated about the topic. I learned so much from them that we even covered some extra material than planned ( that turned out right after finishing our weekly presentations ). For me, it makes the whole experience unique and wholesome!
So, I would range it as an excellent class for beginners as a good level up even for qualified specialists, who need some boost and improvement.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

- There were a variety of things learned throughout the course, to pick one specifically would do an injustice from the main takeaway. This course has shown me how to create an App that can be flexible to all demographics. Being a true asset to individuals with disabilities and beneficial to all viewpoints.
- Understanding tools like User Research, Personas, Interaction Models, and Accessibility & Multi-Platform Design. Were all beneficial along my journey.

After trying sites like udemy and coursera I would quickly lose interest in about 2 minutes into the video making it impossible for me to learn anything. Then here comes Brainstation, a coding boot camp that is affordable that offers the same instructions, if not better than the well established heavy hitters that put you on private student loans. I appreciate Brainstation’s overall value, curriculum, extraordinary instructors to say the least as they launched me on the path to a complete career change.
