    Dont waste your time and money

    I recently took a course from Brainstation Institute and was very disappointed with my experience. The material was presented in a disorganized manner and did not effectively cover the topics advertised. I strongly believe that this course not worth $2800. They only reviewed what I had learned from w3schools (a free website). Long story short, I learned up to 10 SQL statement in this class. 
    When I started my course, the tuition was about $2200 for the course I took (cus they told me ...

    Up your data-driven decision-making game

    I recently completed the Data Analytics course at Brainstation in Miami, and it was a great introduction to understanding how data is retrieved, examined, and used to make decisions. The instructors were real professionals in the field and were able to add real-world examples to the course content. We covered advanced Excel, SQL, MySQL, and Tableau, and I was able to gain some useful context as to the purposes that all of these tools serve in my organization. As a primarily qualitative U...

    It was eye opening

    I've worked with UX Designers for several years before taking this course, and was always in awe of the magic they weave to create delightful experiences. However, in 2020, I started to manage UX Designers for the first time in my career, and found myself severely lacking in the skills and knowledge required to support them and their career growth. This course helped me to understand, and better appreciate their methods. Which, in turn helps me to be a better thought partner with them, b...

    AMAZING Product Management Course

    The Product Management course is carefully thought out teaching you every step from what is a product manager, the product manager's roles, from research all the way to analytics. Not only does this teach the fundamentals of product management but the instructors share tips and tools they use in their own practices to implement. In my class we had people who have not done product at all all the way up to people who have been in product for 2 years and everyone took away something useful....

    I really enjoyed my experience taking Product Management at BrainStation! Jared Arrington and Rina Fufaeva were great instructors and so helpful in terms of creating a welcoming and interactive learning environment. My classmates were exceptionally nice and engaged. The facility was also super modern. Would definitely consider taking a course again at BrainStation in the future.

    UI Design Course

    I had a positive experience with BrainStation's UI course. The program taught me essential skills in UI design and development, covering topics such as typography, color theory, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing. I had two great instructors and who were highly qualified professionals with extensive experience in the field, providing students with valuable insights and mentorship. Great class!

    Great introduction to UX Design!

    I recently completed the UX Design course at BrainStation and had a great experience. The instructors, Veronica and Samantha, were very knowledgeable and always ready to answer questions + lend a helping hand. The eight weeks flew by quickly and I appreciated the interactive elements of the class and how they each focused on a different step in the UX design process.

    By the end of the eight weeks, I had brainstormed an idea, done research via interviews, wireframed, and built out ...
