    Informative end to end learning

    Really informative course teaching Product Management from end to end. Course instructors are knowledgeable and use their experience to help students understand application of Product Management in a professional setting. Useful online learning resources which guide you through the full 8 weeks. Some knowledge or appreciation of Product would be helpful prior to taking the course. Feedback was delivered slightly late for my liking but was useful when shared. Overall a really friendly set...

    Learn with intention

    What I loved most about this Bootcamp (one night per week) is how concise and measured the lessons are week to week. The course has developed much over the years and I'm confident I finished this 8 week boot camp with the tools I need to start and continue my Data Analytics journey. Applicants that will get the most value out of this Bootcamp, are those who have invested time researching what Data Analytics is about, and cross-referencing their findings against their personality type and...

    too fast period boot camp

    It was an amazing boot camp! The educators were incredibly kind, supportive, and highly professional. The only downside was the accelerated pace of the 12-week program, which made it challenging to absorb all the information. If you already have programming experience, it can be immensely beneficial. However, if you're new to programming, I recommend considering the part-time option, as the full-time program can be quite intense.

    Great course for PM basics

    The class is great for anyone with no background or prior experience in Product Management. All the basics are covered in the course in an easy-to-learn manner. If you’re looking to switch roles and want something in product this would be a great place to start. If you have any product experience this may be too high level for you.

    Would recommend it!

    I enjoyed the product management course at Brainstation. While I thought that the course content was good, I think the final deliverables could have been more robust. Preparing an MVP is a good place to start, but it could have been an opportunity to prepare a working product (minimal, but more usable than the basic user flow).

    I appreciated how knowledgeable the instructors were, and that they were open to us picking their brains about their industry experience.

    Data Analysis Course

    I have to say that this course is a very well-rounded course for exposing one to the world of data analytics. From the inception of the course to the end it gives you a in-depth look at the tech industry and what, how and why it’s looking for a specific dataset to help with business deliverables.
