I had no background knowledge coming into the class, and found the content easy to digest and understand. Every class comes with an "educator" as well as a teaching assistant, which helps when trying to hear different views (on the same topic) from working professionals in the field. The courses are taught in a beautiful space in downtown Vancouver. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a quick crash course (10 weeks) into UX Design!- SarahGraduate • Digital Marketing • New York CityMay 24, 2017Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

UX - Recommend!
The educators were both hands on, insightful, and always willing to make themselves available to support in anyway.
The content was easy to follow, and super useful. It was awesome because the content was all made readily available to access any time, any where.
LOVED the learning environment; there was extra thought put into all the little details.

Digital Marketing at Brainstation definitely gets 5 out of 5 stars across the board! Over the ten weeks, every piece of course material is rooted in everyday examples, so you really develop an understanding on how to apply the content in your every day work.

Digital Marketing at Brainstation definitely gets 5 out of 5 stars across the board! Over the ten weeks, every piece of course material is rooted in everyday examples, so you really develop an understanding on how to apply the content in your every day work. As a social media manager, every week I've brought away another new tool - whether big or small - to implement into my career. Plus, the entire set up of the class focuses on developing a digital marketing strategy for a local company, so every week you're taking bits of what you've learned and immediately applying it.
Along with the course material, the instructors are absolutely awesome. Both Conner and Laura currently work in the industry, so the knowledge they bring is current and applicable. They're also both very willing to answer any questions - class related or career related - which is huge for continuing to develop your digital marketing skills.
The class very much extends beyond just the 3 hour instruction time in the classroom. All around, Brainstation has been a solid experience and I'd reccomend it to anyone, espeically those working fulltime looking to continue professional development!

The Digital Marketing course at Brainstation was great. There were a lot of practical skills transferred and I appreciate how it was case study based - having us work with a single business in mind throughout the whole course. I would have to say my favourite module was 'growth hacking', although they were all fascinating.

I started searching for coding lessons, certifications and that is when I stumbled upon Wyncode, I went to a sample classs and decided that I was going to take the chance and get into this hobby to make it my career.
It was a difficult journey, you really have to be on top of assignments and very important if there is something you do not understand ask questions, lots of them when you first start learning about that term because everything builds up and if you are not on top of the tasks it is very hard to catch up.
Overall, it was a great expericne they really teach you the fundamentals and most importantly they teach you how to learn by yourself, and when you graduate you have a great community of people who are willing to help you so you are also getting a support group out of this experience.
I really recommend this course for anyone who wants a change of career or just to learn something new, you will fall in love with codin and the experience as a whole is really life-changing.

Through Slack, they're always available to help and go beyond the course to answer any questions that we have! My class size was small so we were all able to receive individual feedback from our educators and they really made sure that we all had a chance to talk about our projects after mid-course presentations before moving on. As someone who comes from zero experience, I can certainly say that I've learned tons about product management and feel more confident now talking to others in the tech world. The campus is convenient to get to and a wonderful space to learn in with a big sense of community. I would definitely recommend this course!

BrainStations course on Product Management is a great resource.
I worked for two years as a Product Manager prior to taking this course and have found the subject matter to be very relevant to both myself and my co-students.
The instructors have been fantastic and are always available to discuss any questions. They consistently go out of their way to assist students and have extensive experience to back up what they are saying with concrete, real world examples!

So far, I have loved this course. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is interested in producing any type of content. I feel like this is hugely beneficial to understanding the ways that ecommerce thrives as well as getting digital content out and seen. I wanted to take this course because I had seen so many application for it in unexpected places. I was looking for work with environmental groups and small companies alike and they were all looking for digital marketing experience.
The location is great. Good vibes all around. I really feel like I can focus there. But I can also relax. Sometime I arrive early and I get right to work on my final project, sometimes I make tea and play ping pong.
The teachers are awesome, smart, funny, talented women and the guest lectures have been on point! Christie, the main instructor works for Hootsuite and is very au courant. I really appreciate having someone who is actually in the industry represent what they deal with on a day to day. I feel that a huge benefit of this course is that the instruction is based on current jobs and realistic job demands partly because jargon and terminology is half the battle and partly because things change so fast in this field that that it is necessary to have someone who can explain why and how some of the new things that have come out are important, or what deeper significances they have, with examples.
Content wise, I find this course a little bit softer than I had anticipated. Not lighter in content, just a little more conceptual. I think this speaks more to the field than to the instruction. I feel inspired by the instructors to be innovative, because ultimately critical thinking is key here. I was surprised by how heavily creativity is balanced with procedure. They really illustrate how data analysis is the number one key to strategic and effective marketing.
overall positive experience, I am even thinking of signing up for class that takes a deeper look into one specific aspect of the wonderfullly broad categories that class has focused on.

I am on my final week of the Digital Marketing program at Brain Station in Vancouver. I was firstly so thrilled to know that there was a program to help me increase my skills in this area without having to spend years at a local college. Once I heard about Brain Station through word of mouth I knew I had to take this program. I have learned SO much within the past 2 months that a billion YouTube videos could never teach me. Both of my leaders, Christie and Zamina, were extremely knowledgeable, passionate and up-to-date within this industry and brought many personal stories through their work experience to the classroom to share. Besides the informative and interesting hands-on classes that are themed each week, I really enjoyed that I had access to multiple tools to help elevate each week's theme in the form of suggested articles, websites, and programs. Being able to have a local brand to focus on was another bonus as I got to dig deep into the community of Vancouver and gain a full understanding on how to research your market, set objectives and build out a marketing campaign from start to finish. I would have NEVER been able to even have completed step 1 of 10 when building out a campaign before this program. I am excited to bring my skills to my work, applying all of my knowledge and feeling confident that I can tap into my market while gaining new interactions more than ever before. I would highly suggest this program to entrepreneurs and digital marketing enthusiasts alike.
