    BrainStation was an amazing experience! With direct and indirect support I was able to grasp a lot of concepts and knowledge that would have been difficult otherwise. Learning the technical skills is just part of the BrainStation experience, there is a whole other curriculum centred around becoming a professional in the industry. High powered and respected figures in their respective fields are also invited to speak and guide the BrainStation community on the experiences and obstacles th...

    UX Design Diploma

    12-week Bootcamp covers the UX and UI foundations. There was a good range of all things within the UXD discipline from research to strategy to prototyping. It's a good program to give the foundations you would need to become a junior UX Designer. I would have preferred a more in-depth design theory focus than we received though. A key thing to know is that whether or not you find a role after the Bootcamp ends is heavily dependent on whether or not you're willing to keep applying for rol...

    UI Design Course

    As somebody who has decided to change their career path, I think that this UI Design Bootcamp was exactly what I needed. Coming in I had only a vague idea about UI Design, but I was given the tools I needed to actually start working on my own portfolio. I appreciate Max and Tamira sharing their professional experience with us and always being responsive when I had questions outside of the class hours.

    Product Management Course

    The online product management course at Brainstation was a great introduction to the methodologies that PM teams use. It's a good foundation to have to get started in the PM world. The class I was apart of was very interactive with one another which was a nice and comfortable environment to learn in. The course instructors were very knowledgable and encouraged the students to ask as many questions as we wanted. They also provided a lot of good resources for reference. Overall, I would re...

    Digital Marketing Certificate

    This is strictly an introductory-level course, NOT suitable for marketers with more than 2-3 years of experience. Concepts are very high-level and theoretical. I could not get any clear information about the syllabus when I was considering enrolment.

    Here is the actual syllabus:
    • Introduction to Digital Marketing - what are some digital marketing tactics, what is a customer persona, general steps to defining a marketing goal, KPIs, customer journey

    UX Design

    The course outlined the principles of UX design in a clear way, and gave students access to tools (like Slack and Figma) that were needed to complete the course. The course consisted of 9 3-hour lectures, with a 10th dedicated to final presentations. The two deliverables were a final project, and a mid-term strategy submission that outlined key elements of that final project. The lecturers were clear, knowledgable, and approachable, and slides were made available to us both in advance of...

    UX Design Bootcamp = top notch

    Simply excellent. The sense of community is what really stood out to me. The bootcamp format is truly tough, but you are well supported throughout the entirety. No such thing as old school tests. You are purely graded on your performance via project submissions.

    Data Analytics @BrainStation

    This course is great if you are looking to build a strong foundation of Data Analytics, which I think everyone needs before they start learning more advanced programs like R or Python. S/O to John Duncan and Paras Batra who were my instructors. Those guys made this 10-week course so enjoyable and easy to learn. They've also been in the industry for many years so they know a lot of great resources. I just wish this class was in-person instead of online. I think that definitely would've he...

    Second chances are worth a try.

    I am currently enrolled in the Data Science certificate program. It was an intense 10 weeks introduction in the world of Python and Data Science. The leading tutors of the course were knowledgeable, patient, and resourceful. Luis, Malika, and Xiaolei have awaken a curiosity for Math and Statistics in me that I haven't had in years. I am slowly coming into middle-age and I felt fully part of the young cohort. We did activities that reinforced concepts mentioned in class. The highlight for...
