    Full Stack Web Development Bootcamp

    Although one of the more expensive web dev bootcamps, BrainStation really prepared me for my career change into Web Development. I learned JavaScript, Node and React fundamentals a month prior, but the bootcamp helped me grasp these concepts, exposed me to a lot more tools and techniques, and really cemented my understanding through practice and projects. I completed the program with a capstone project I could be proud of and skills that I could use to build a solid portfolio.

    Social Media Marketing Course

    A great introduction into social media marketing. It was helpful to learn about the tools available, how to use ad mangers on Meta and other platforms. Learn the lingo and see examples. I enjoyed my class and classmates. I would recommend this course for people who are beginners to marketing.

    Web Development Diploma Bootcamp

    I attended the Web Development Bootcamp in Fall of last year. When I first started, I didn't know up from down when it came to coding. I was as green as you could be, but when it came time to develop my own full-stack web app during the capstone portion of the program, I surprised myself with just how much I had picked up during the three months of instruction from my teachers and amazing TAs. 

    I didn't realize that I would enjoy coding as much as I do, and I'm thankful that my in...

    HIGHLY OVERPRICED AND USELESS

    I have taken the cybersecurity course that brainstation has to offer because it was recommended by a friend, The sales consultants said you should find a job after taking this course, no problem (as they always do). Now after a year of applying, I could not find a job in the cybersecurity sector. The course cost me around $3297 because I chose the 12 month payment plan. This was a 5 week course, each week has one 8 hour class and cover 1 modules per day, total 5 modules in the remainder ...

    UX Diploma Program

    BrainStation's UX Diploma program was very helpful with my pivot into the UX field with no prior design experience. The success of a student will depend on how much they put into the program. It is a very challenging 12-week program and a lot of self-guidance is needed to really hone in on your craft. However, the education team as well as the career success team are very approachable and provide a great amount of support throughout.

    My experience was great as I have had the oppor...

    BrainStation review

    For my situation, it was absolutely worth it. I was able to fill in some knowledge gaps and learn up-to-date technologies in a fast-paced environment by building projects, collaborating with others etc. The instructors were also very helpful and knowledgeable. I was also able to utilize career services throughout the program and after graduating.
