    Data Analytics

    I came into Data Analytics course with no data background experience. The class is well-paced, interesting and enjoyable.  The instructors give real-life work challenges and examples at very stage of the process.

    Data Analytics Course

    This course id fast pace! it will be over before you know it. I took this course in Jan 2022 and I have learned a lot! 
    Which brings me to my second point. Don't ever feel overwhelmed! Although it is fast paced course and will cover a lot of topics, I never felt like the lecture was rushed or overwhelming, one of the reasons was because my instructor, Ryan, he is very knowledgeable, well-spoken and he won't move on to the next topic unless he is sure that everyone is up to speed.

    Data Analytics

    Overall my course in BrainStation exceeded my expectations. Even with my option of choosing the accelerated course (5 weeks rather than 10) I was able to comprehend and have enough time to grasp all of the information taught. This is thanks to the instructors. Both, the lead and assistant instructor, did great jobs with answering questions and ensuring everyone was on board and up to pace. I would highly recommend this course to expand knowledge and to get a jump start in the job market....

    Brainstation UX Certificate

    I had such a wonderful experience. I started this course with no background in UX, any sort of design or even tech, but gradually with the amazing guidance of the course instructors I was able to quickly understand different elements of design thinking, research, sketching, presentations etc. So happy that I made this decision.

    Best learning experience

    BrainStation's online web development bootcamp was one of the best education experiences in my life. It was the best and intense ~3.5months spent on learning skills with intangible results. After graduating from the bootcamp, i am now able to pickup and learn other programming languages and skills i could never have imagined.
    The instructors and the teaching assistants for our cohort were SUPERB! We also had help available almost always which made it easy to push...

    BrainStation rules!

    My experience at BrainStation has been phenomenal! The tech stack that they teach you throughout the program (React, Node, Express, MySQL, SASS) is extremely current and popular, but if you want to branch into using some other tools, the Capstone Project is extremely open ended and you are fully allowed to step outside of the tools and frameworks that they teach in the program. The quality of the curriculum was incredibly high and the education team was extremely skilled and helpful. I p...

    Web Development Bootcamp

    I'm a graduate of BrainStation's WebDev bootcamp in London.
    I loved the experience! It was really challenging, a lot tougher than I thought prior to starting, but definitely worth it.
    The instructors are knowledgable and approachable, the education support team was great and they have a very well structured career support programme too.
    I think the curriculum is very well thought out, totally relevant for the current industry standards and well taught.

    I really enjoyed the project based learning environment at BrainStation. The instructor allowed us to bring our own work project & ask questions with regards to our work outside of BrainStation, related to the lesson plan. Overall, the class went in depth with the units my only regret was not taking a digital marketing class prior to gain a deeper understanding of the topics.

    UX Design Part-Time Course at BrainStation.

    My experience at BrainStation was quite a nice surprise. Considering the 4 year University education that I am used to, BrainStation was quite refreshing as there was less emphasis on structure and more on learning. The class size was quite small about 13 people or so, this was great as you got to spend more time with each other and really get to know pretty much every student even though it was online.

    While BrainStation does have an in-person campus their main specialty of deliv...
