    Life changing skill set

    Having now worked as a data scientist in industry for a few months, I can really appreciate how well the course content was aligned with the skills required on the job.

    Great teaching/campus and got me a job I wouldn't otherwise have

    A genuine 5 stars for everything I experienced at BrainStation. I choose BrainStation over other bootcamps because it was in-person and the campus is really nice. Going in every day and being with two really good teachers was very valuable. The curriculum was great, covering as much as was really possible in the 10 weeks. And I was pushed to build stuff every week, having contact with the teachers when I got stuck. It all really worked for my development.

    Empowering and Practical Data Science Bootcamp Experience

    I recently completed the part-time Data Science bootcamp at BrainStation and had a great experience. The curriculum was practical and well-structured, covering Python, machine learning, data visualization, and more. The real value came from the hands-on projects, which helped me build confidence and apply what I learned right away. The instructors were supportive, and the learning environment was collaborative and engaging.

    My journey with BrainStation

    Switching careers is scary but Brainstion's bootcamp made it possible. After 8+ years in marketing, I took the plunge into the Software Engineering bootcamp and found educators who genuinely cared about my success. The assignments, hackathons and industry projects were challenging in the best way, forcing me to problem-solve like a real developer. 

    While I wish we'd spent more time on backend technologies, the program gave me a solid foundation in full-stack development. If you're...

    Worth your time & energy

    I took the course because I was interested in refining my technical skills but was having a hard time keeping myself accountable. The intense schedule & deadlines kept me on my toes but the bootcamp gave me so much more. The classes were very informative & collaborating with other students in the labs made it easier to grasp concepts and at the very least struggle together. I've also come out of it feeling more confident in my skills than ever. I think the little time we had to w...

    3 Month Intensive Learning!

    I had joined Brainstation due to several people in my personal network who successfully transitioned their careers in a non-traditional way, into the software industry. While I had intended to attend in-person, the program was filtered into online which I was initially hesitant about, having heard so many great things about the in-person experience. I found that it took a bit of adjusting to learn online, but also helped me save a lot of time that I was able to invest back into further l...

    The BrainStation Software Engineering bootcamp has been a life changing experience. The courses were detailed, relevant and very hands-on. It is quite intensive but I'm glad I took the chance even when I didn't think I would make it.

     I joined the bootcamp with only basic HTML and CSS knowledge, and by the time I finished, I was building full-stack web apps! The program is fast-paced, and you’ll feel like you need more than 24 hours in a day just to keep up. But the reward is well worth the effort. The instructors I had, Ed and Joseph, were incredibly helpful and made the intense learning process so much more manageable and enjoyable.
