    Great experience

     

    I had very few doubts initially that Wyncode would be a good experience. At first, my toughest decision was which campus to go to. In the end I chose to attend the Ft Lauderdale cohort. It ended up being an awesome experience. My instructor at the time, Auston, is superb and really shows a passion for teaching. I think that if anyone is looking for this type of career change, this is the way to do it. Immerse yourself in a program like this, and you will realize that this is th...

    Events, Workshops & Course A++

    I’ve attended multiple events, the SEO workshop, I’m currently enrolled in the Digital Marketing course and I’m already thinking about what I can take next. BrainStation is a fresh approach to learning business concepts with smart and passionate professionals. I would highly suggest BrainStation to anyone looking to build their education or to refresh an old concept.

    Worth it?

    Like most other people I will start by saying this is an honest and objective review, it is (in my opinion anyway), the only thing is that everyone’s experience is different.

    If you do choose to attend Wyncode then you will hear the phrase “You get out what you put in” or something similar, which is true, not just for this course but in life. If you are not ready to fully commit then you may not get what you need or want from this course.

    You have to understand that thi...

    Hi Neil,

    Thank you for taking the time to provide A review of the web immersive program at Wyncode. It's great to hear the positive experience you had with our course and that given the chance, you would go through the web immersive again. I wanted to provide some information and add clarity to your point regarding Wyncode's placement services.

    At Wyncode, we're most proud of the network we've built in the tech ecosystem in South Florida. Over 80 companies have hired Wyncode graduates with more than 30 hiring at least a second Wyncoder. Our top two hiring partners have six Wyncoders each. This speaks to the value we've been able to add to these companies and helps Wyncoders get placed after graduation.

    As far as our current job placement services, Wyncode provides the following job support:

    - Wynterviews during each cohort, where Wyncoders meet local tech companies prior to graduation.
    - Pitch Day, where over 300 tech community members see the Wyncoders pitch their apps and can approach them for employment 
    - Wynterviews during each cohort, where Wyncoders meet local tech companies prior to graduation
    - Twice weekly Wynwork sessions, available free of charge for life, where Wyncode staff provides information on open jobs, individual support, and training to help in the job search and personal introductions to companies

    We’ve recently added improvements including a Hiring Coordinator to support the job placement search and Wyncode's co-founder, Juha Mikkola, involved in day-to-day support. As far as your claim about us sharing roles, our goal is to help Wyncoders find jobs, not harm their efforts. We would never take a Wyncoders' role and offer it to others. If this has happened without our knowledge, please let us know the details so we can investigate.

    We are also committed to transparency, and as a result, we will be the second coding bootcamp in the nation to have its placement outcomes independently verified by Morrison, Brown, Argiz & Farra, LLC, one of Miami's most respected accounting firms. This is part of a commitment made public in a letter to the President of the United States in March 2015. Please keep a look out for this report, as it will provide clear data regarding the job outcomes of Wyncode graduates. 
    We appreciate you leaving your feedback and are happy to have improved on our job placement services as well as the transparency regarding our graduate outcomes.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    They Nurture What You Put In!

    If you are debating on doing a bootcamp over the question of "can you really learn everything you need to be a developer after 9 weeks?" then you are looking at it the wrong way. Even people who have been in the field for 10 years still have more to learn. So what makes this bootcamp worth 10 grand?

    This isn't a factory that is going to give you the most common 100 steps you need to learn to build a web-app and get hired. They try to introduce you to as many technologies and conc...

    100 Days Out - Was Wyncode worth it?

    I'd like to preface this review by stating that I was asked by one of the founders of Wyncode, Juha, to write a review. I planned on writing one anyway prior to his request, but I wanted to wait out the post-graduation 90 day job placement period before doing so to give Wyncode a fair chance. As of writing this, it’s been exactly 100 days since I’ve graduated. This review is fully honest, transparent, and objective. I’m not holding anything back.

    Family First

    From the very first day the Wyncode "Family" accepted me for who I was and was constantly encouraging me to always be learning and growing. Wyncode taught me that some days we make massive strides, and other days’ mere inches but as along as our efforts are channeled in the right direction you'll always be better then you were the day before. Wyncode not only provided me with the knowledge to be a Web Developer but they provided me with a "family" I know I can always rely on. The support t...

    Turbocharged learning

    Yes, it's possible to follow the self-study route and learn Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. However, the coding bootcamp route has definitely paid off for me. My previous experiences with PHP took me ages to learn with self-study and I did not understand how to use the correct tools for the job, nor how to write 'DRY' code (modular non-repetitive code).

    The nine-week course I completed at the Ft. Lauderdale campus (at the FAT village art district) offers a well-rounded s...

    Web Development Immersive - Spring 2016

    I graduated from BrainStation's Web Development Immsersive Class in June 2016 and found the experience to be comprehensive and enjoyable. In 10 weeks, students are taught how to build a functional web application from beginning to end. Many students have no previous experience in web development and are still able to follow the course's quick pace, although it would certainly be beneficial. The course is structured in a way that students are presented with new topics in a meaningful order ...

    Cohort 8

    Before coming to Wyncode, I graduated from school with a degree in both Finance and Marketing. After graduation, I spent a year in Madrid teaching primary school. I have yet to mention coding in my background, because January 11th, the first day of cohort 8, was the first day I ever touched or had even seen code. I will admit, the first week I was pissed, frustrated, upset, etc. but that was only because doing this course and learning this material, I had to adapt to a new way of processin...
