    Fantastic, interactive course

    I chose to attend BrainStation's Digital Marketing class because the part time evening hours fit my full-time work schedule, and I attended a workshop where I got a taste of their interactive teaching style.

    What I didn't expect was for BrainStation to surpass my expectations entirely. The class has 3 instructors that are all highly knowedgeable in the fields, as well as expremely passionate about sharing what they know. My classmates are from all levels - some are starti...

    Amazing Educational Experience!!

    The way BrainStation's classes are structutred are exceptional!  The instructors really make sure you understand the lecture and since the classes are generally small, there is a lot of opportunity to ask questions and clarfy concepts.  Even the classmates I had were driven and passionate making BrainStation an even better environment to work in.  The instructors are extremely knowledgable and try to make the class as enjoyable as possible.  I loved the BrainStation...

    Great learning environment

    What I liked best about BrainStation was the relaxed atmosphere in the classroom. It was really laid back and collaborative. Instead of the teacher talking for 3 straight hours, there was a lesson, and then we had time to work on our projects and ask questions. All the learning was hands on and I applied most things I learned directly to my project. Everyone else in the class was friendly and gave me lots of feedback on my work.

    Love the Educational Model

    I'm taking BrainStation's Digital Marketing course and so far it's been awesome. I'm a university student, so BrainStation is a breath of fresh air. I'm used to lectures with hundreds of students and 1 instructor. My Digital Marketing class at BrainStation is about as far from that as possible. The class is small and we have 3 instructors. All of them are so helpful and knowledgeable. They're always happy to answer our questions and provide feedback ...

    Intense

    It's hard to sum up my experience at Wyncode. It was definitely one of the hardest and most gratifying 9 weeks of my life. Within that short time you will learn the basics and fundementals of web development and more importantly teach yourself how to continue learning well beyond the program, meeting amazing people all along the way. The pressure to do well is entirely in your hands, though, and that can either drive you, or cripple you. That being said, if you stick to it no...

    Life Changing Experience

    I recently graduated from a local State University with a marketing and business background. However, I wasn't fulfilled with the work I was doing and realized I wanted to learn new skills and better equipt myself for my professional career. I did my research and decided to commit to the Wyncode program. 

    My experience summed up:

    • Long days/nights writing code
    • Learning how to learn
    • Problem solving
    • Developing Apps

    From 0 to 100 in 9W

    Wyncode is an incredible program that in just 9 weeks teaches the fundamentals of programming and gives you a strong base in coding so you can keep learning. This program helps not only in your technical skills but also in your business basics. They will definitely help you land a great job. 

    As a startup co-founder I wanted to learn how to code and not feel cheated when I talked to developers (just because I did not have an idea what they were talking about)....

    It's worthy.

    So, if you are willing to quit your job (if it applies), sleep less than 6 hours per day (sitting in a computer) or listen to a class that you barely can understand, you are ready to do Wyncode. You learn how to build stuff and to know how stuff is made, start making your own projects, and work in an awesome environment. This is the right place to do it in Miami.

    Cheers!

    Wyncode literally changes your life.

    Before Wyncode I was in an IT career fixing computers, which I enjoyed and solved problems, but it was not self-fulfilling and the environment itself I was not a fan of. From the pitch day of the previous Wyncode I knew I wanted to be a part of what was going on in Miami. Once I started at Wyncode I knew I wasn't looking back.

    The Wyncode program is very daunting while the course is in progress. But, it's like that for a reason. All the stress you're put und...

    9 Weeks = New job

    Wyncode may seem intimidating for those staring into it from the front gates, but as an Alum, take it from me: "Wyncode Produces Quality Programmers."

    In a very short amount of time, less than a typical SINGLE class (9 Weeks) ANYONE can learn the true fundamentals of coding, and what it takes to make a career of it. Wyncode accelerated everything about me. My business expertise, my coding knowledge (Troubleshooting Knowledge), and my own character development. Its ...
