    Great content, excellent delivery.

     The Product Management course at BrainStation was great.  The instructors were senior level Product Managers who had a mastery of Product Management topics.  They kept the course engaging with group sessions and videos throughout.  I have a much better understanding of the role a Product Manager plays, and how varied it can be for each organization.  I definitely recommend this course to others interested in pivoting to Product Management roles.

    Highly Recommend

    I spent a lot of time browsing different schools on course report weighing the pros and cons of different bootcamps before I ended up choosing BrainStation based on all the positive reviews and more importantly the vast amounts of graduates that ended up in big name companies. Even then I wasn't sure I had made the right decision but I am so glad I chose BrainStation. 

    The main instructor for the course, Daniil, was really good at explaining some of the more difficult concepts in ...

    Invaluable

    I had a great experience at BrainStation!

    The course was very challenging but also very rewarding.
    I learned a lot of useful skills that have helped me get my current position as a developer.
    I'm very grateful for the help I received from the staff along the way.

    Cannot recommend BrainStation enough!

    I have completed 10 out of 12 weeks of the web development bootcamp course at the London campus and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. The teaching has been first class with all the content being of high quality and very relevant to the industry. I feel very prepared for applying for roles once I have graduated and I know that the skills that I have gained will stand me in good stead amongst my peers. All the educators and staff on campus are always helpful and friendly and ...

    Absolutely loved this course! It was a great course for someone like me who has zero to no experience in this field. I gained a lot of knowledge about this industry as well as practical experience by working on a project end to end!

    Product Management Masterclass!

    I cannot express how good this course was from start to finish. My instructor Guy Walker was able to provide a detailed syllabus but each week and each module shared related experiences which were not only interesting but super helpful when understanding how a product manager needs to conduct themselves and operate. The Synapse learning environment is very user-friendly and intuitive and the support was top-notch. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get into product management!

    Web Development

    Overall, I had nothing but positive things to say about my experience. I was away from my studies for a long time but was admitted to the Diploma of Web Development. The study materials were excellent, the faculty members were very helpful, and supportive. They motivated us to find the solution by ourselves by guiding us and not spoon-feeding us.

    Great experience but yearning for more

    • Instructors are clear in their lecture delivery
    • Theres are project due weekly thus the program is fast paced and will leave you scrambling and typing code all night 
    • If you get stuck, ask the educator for help, they will point you in the right direction 
    • You should have an elementary understanding of html, css, sass, javascript, react, nodejs by the end
    • Gives you ideas on what to expect on job interviews but doesnt give you alot of time to practice...
