I took full time UX design diploma program in the summer of 2019 and I personally feel that this is how an education system should look like - it gives you hands on experience on projects (not just one but many). It prepares you for the real world and helps you to be industry ready.
It is an intense program which requires only diligence and dedication from our part but then we don't have to push ourselves to learn hard. It happens naturally. That's how the lessons are structured. Every single step of the course is carefully thought out starting from a pack of business cards on day 1 at the campus to lesson plans, workshops, power hours, tech tours, hackathon and finally the fantastic demo day on the 12th week. Demo day gives you a chance to pitch your project to industry people and public. It opens a new door for a number of business contacts.
I really like that the educators are always available for questions, feedback or suggestions. They give us knowledge on plenty of resources out there related to the field.
I would highly recommend Brain Station to anyone who needs a boost of confidence in their career or simply thirst for knowledge.- AdamStudent • Search Engine Optimization • TorontoSep 16, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Search Engine Optimization Training
I just completed the 2-day Search Engine Optimization Training course and overall was very satisfied with the experience.
Going into the course my goal was to learn a few quick SEO tips/tricks that I could apply to my own websites to help them rank higher on search engines. I ended up getting that and much more, including what SEO is actually about and a number of long-term strategies for optimizing my websites.

I just completed the 2-day Search Engine Optimization Training course and overall was very satisfied with the experience.
Going into the course my goal was to learn a few quick SEO tips/tricks that I could apply to my own websites to help them rank higher on search engines. I ended up getting that and much more, including what SEO is actually about and a number of long-term strategies for optimizing my websites.
The course was taught by an SEO professional who knew his stuff very well and was able to articulate concepts clearly with real-life examples. He also provided us with a few great tools to see what people are searching for and to find potential SEO flaws with our websites.
My only criticism with the course (which is minor) is that not all of the curriculum was applicable to concepts I learned at a prior BrainStation course. The web dev course that I took last year taught students how to build React websites so I assumed the SEO course would have been geared more towards those types of websites. Despite not focusing on React websites many of the tips and tools learned could still be applied so the course was still effective.
Overall, I found the course to be beneficial and would recommend it to friends and colleagues.

SEO
This was a 2 day online intensive SEO course. I am located on the Westcoast and the course was based out of Toronto and other than the early start in my day, I had never participated in an online live experience before. With a little technical glitch at the beginning on my end, the instructor Trevor helped me to sort it out and I quickly got up to speed.

I was probably one of the only non-digital or developer professional in the group and I found that with effort I was able to keep up and even produce a final project in the end. It was likely a bit more intense for me because a lot of the material was fresh, but there was lots of support and all questions were answered clearly and thoughtfully. Highly recommend for anyone who owns a website - even if outsourcing SEO.. Valuable.

Learning at the highest level
BrainsStation is high standards, high level training that prepares you for the real world. In line with mine, their primary objective is to get you ready to get a job in the field once the fast-track program is done.
I appreciate the intense, fast-paced and very dynamic (connecting with other programs and constant networking with industry professionals) method of training I was put through. I feel confident and ready for a professional role in my field now.

Overall, I enjoyed my experience as a Wyncode student. I greatly appreciated the tight-knit community and the support that was offered not only by my own classmates but also by the TAs, the other instructurs, and by students in other courses. The co-founders were very involved throughout this journey and I felt genuinely comfottable addressing them and other menbers of the administrative team.

Overall, I enjoyed my experience as a Wyncode student. I greatly appreciated the tight-knit community and the support that was offered not only by my own classmates but also by the TAs, the other instructurs, and by students in other courses. The co-founders were very involved throughout this journey and I felt genuinely comfottable addressing them and other menbers of the administrative team.
One thing I do note is that this is a TRUE BOOTCAMP. Meaning no matter how well you may think you know the material, because of the work load and the amount of projects, assignments, networking events, break out sessions, personal tech ventures, etc., there will come a moment at one point or another when it all may feel overwhelming, when you have no time to mindlessly do nothing with friends and family, and when nothing makes sense. However, this is completely normal, and the few who have the drive to persevere will be greatly rewarded by potential employers, investors, and other prominent members of the tech comminity.
There will be sleepless nights, most of your time will be spent at Wyncode (incliding nights and weekends), and your stress level and misery at the moment will drive you towards becoming closer to your peers than people would generally become with their classmates in traditional academic environments. We laughed together, literally cried together, and we often took care of eachother's children and pets while our classmates interviewed and presented. At Wyncode, you truly gain a new family and set of friends from backgrounds you never thought you'd have the opportunity to know so well.
The incredibly rich variety of content presented is both challenging and prepared me to better understand and learn other concepts and languages that were not part of the curriculum. They provide a complex structure of learning material and when presenting it, they ensure everyone understands what's going in; no one gets left behind. I feel a part of my academic curiosity was unlocked in a field area I never expected to be so interested in.
Again, my experience at Wyncode was far greater and more rewarding than what I had at any other higher education institution. I highly reccomend it, and I support their goals, vision, and methods of execution 100%! - milagroFront End Web Development - Wyncode • MiamiAug 09, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I know that it was a part time course, but it would’ve been better to have more practice in class. Overall though, I enjoyed my time at BrainStation.

Intensive and Rewarding Learning Experience!
Coming from a traditional accounting/finance background, I wanted to build the necessary skills to pivot my career into the realm of quantitive trading using machine learning. Reflecting on my personal experience, it was quite incredible how much we learned within 12 weeks of intense studying. There is no opportunity to slack around as we move incredibly fast, therefore, it is imperative to keep up with daily lectures and assignments.

There is no opportunity to slack around as we move incredibly fast, therefore, it is imperative to keep up with daily lectures and assignments. What you put into the program is what you will get out!
The instructors were friendly and did a good job of explaining complicated topics in a relatively simple manner. I appreciated that the instructors allocated time covering fundamental statistics and general programming before diving deeper into more complex topics. Furthermore, they were also happy to answer my plethora of questions and took time to help out wherever possible. As a whole, the Brainstation community is welcoming and the staff put in significant amounts of effort to ensure everyone has a positive experience.
If I could do it over again, one thing I would ask for is an additional four weeks to the program. This would allow us to cover more advanced concepts in further detail while also granting more time for our capstone projects.
This program helped uncover a hidden passion for machine learning which inspired me to advance my knowledge even further in a post-graduate degree focused on this subject.
