    Couldn't be happier

    With the guidance of the educators, I was confident to begin my new career in UX. The workload is heavy & challenging but is conveyed at such a level of detail and care that you never feel over encumbered. My favourite thing about this bootcamp is that every minor idea, concept or tool that is mentioned or covered, is almost immediately put into practice through labs/ homework study. Sure, you'll still be lacking real-world experience, but you'll be aquatinted with all you need to kn...

    Data Science Bootcamp - Not for the Faint of Brain

    The full-time Data Science bootcamp is both as vast and as concise as it could be for a 12-week program. The curriculum was amazing and focused, as well as truly challenging. The assignments make heavy use of intelligent ambiguity to give you a feel for how real-world projects will go, but the class time will not leave you wondering what to do.

    The grading for assignments is thankfully very strict and the level of data scientist they want to see you achieve is evident with the bar...

    Web Development Diploma Program

    Changed my life! I went through their 3-month full-time web development diploma program and it jump started my career in web development. The quality of learning was incredible, I went through the program completely remote and cannot believe how effective it was. The tech stack they cover is super relevant to the industry right now and is in demand, learning React sets you up to learn many other frontend frameworks easily so it's a great starting point. The educators are AMAZING, not onl...

    Product Management Course

    I recently completed an accelerated Product Management course with BrainStation and earned a Certificate I shared on LinkedIn. I recommend this course to professionals interested in becoming or transitioning to a PM role.

    Laura Loughran and Blair Fast co-instructed this course. They had abundant knowledge and experience to share in class about startups, large enterprise organizations, and the Product Manager's role. They were also available on Slack outside of class hours to guide...

    Best Instructors I've had!

    I recently completed a cyber security bootcamp with Brainstation in December 2021.
    Having previously completed several courses and the Security+ I did not expect to learn anything groundbreaking.

    I was pleasantly surprised with how well the instructors went through the course material and they spent lots of time answering questions. Both instructors were professionals working in the industry at large companies and from different areas in Cyber Security.

    Highly recommend ...

    Data science

    I really enjoyed the data science with Brainstation. Sure it requires time and effort, but so does any coding language. I am really glad I put the effort as I feel confident and motivated in taking up data projects and continuing the journey. The duration of the course was adequate, the exercises given pushed the students to go beyond the scope of the class and the instructors were extremely knowledgeable and supportive with the exercises and the project.

    Data Science Course

    I had the opportunity to join the Data Science Course at Brainstation and I must say it was such a boost to my skills. I had a basic knowledge of SQL and MySQL but the classes and the ability to teach made me learn quickly. I would highly suggest the course to everyone has deal with big sheets of data.

    Amazing Data Science Course

    Amazing course which helped me to the set bases for my data science journey. Not only it focuses in how to get around with Python but also gives extra theoretical information to do analysis.

Moreover, you are available to apply all the knowledge acquired along the course with the different homework you get every class and with...
