    Informative

    The course is a great overview of the product manager role and provides a great opportunity to practice some of the techniques learned in class via a in class project. Most importantly, gave us a chance to work with other class members in class, which most of the classmates are from a different discipline and industry. This is a great simulation of cross job family collaboration which a lot of the product managers would have to face in the real world.

    Brainstation - Data Analytics

    This was a really great class. The instructors were instrumental especially in SQL. They really show you step by step how to work through the different things that you learned. It was fast paced, but the instructors did a great job of making sure, as a student, we were able to keep up. Great course and will definitely be back!!!!

    UX Bootcamp

    Brainstation UX bootcamp program provides a good foundation to build technical skills and academic knowledge of the entire UX process. The bootcamp also provides power hour speakers, hackathons, case studies, panel speakers, and career service help during your time with the bootcamp. If you can take the in-person class, I would recommend taking it for networking and more personal help from the educators. The cons to the program are that other bootcamps provide pre-work prior to their boo...

    Amazing experience

    The overall experience was great - quality experience from being taught by industry professionals, giving insight into what a career change might hold. It is intensive, if you choose the 3 month plan, but if you are seriously considering a switch into tech then BrainStation is the perfect choice!

    I really enjoyed the experience and wish the class was for more that 8 weeks. learned a lot in a short amount of time considering I don't have any background and prior knowledge in this field.

    Unfortunately not great

    I really wanted to like this course. I had high hopes for it but unfortunately it fell flat on two fronts. First is the course material was very dense and it felt like we flew through it at breakneck speeds. The instructors did a fantastic job with what they had to work with but I felt as though either extra weeks of course (which could be challenging considering the selling point is the short time frame) or adding more pointed self learning that students could do on their own between cl...

    Great instruction, disappointing content

    The Good:
    I enrolled in this course to gain and understanding of the skills required to pursue a career in product management. I was impressed with the credentials of the instructors, and their passion for their work was inspiring and engaging.

    The Bad:
    Unfortunately the content was high level and was seldom contextualized in real world examples. For the price I was VERY disappointed in course and did not feel like I left any better prepar...

    Hard but worthwhile

     BrainStation's Data Science Bootcamp is very demanding. However, the instructors and the staff are great at supporting you through this journey. They have a tested and complete set of lectures that would give you a sufficient understanding of the different branches of Data Science. After completing the bootcamp you might be exhausted but it is amazing to see how much you can learn in such a short time. Highly recommend this bootcamp.

    Amazing Educators

    An amazing and worthwhile experience. I took the Data Science full-time course and I am very pleased with BrainStation. The building and facilities are top notch. The educators are very passionate about delivering a high quality course for their students. The bootcamp is intense but I am extremly proud of the progress that I have made in the past 3 months.

    Relaxing Learning Environment!

    I had a great 7-week course that was held virtually. The content was organized and presented on time each week. I enjoyed the flexibility of the class and the week's content was thought out and all relevant information pertaining to the course subject.
