    High voltage, high velocity learning experience

    Brainstation has a horde of talented instructors who are available for you to schedule plenty of 1 on 1 time with titans who really know their stuff.
    The curriculum is brutal, and if you choose the 3 month bootcamp for data science, you're in for a wild ride.

    It starts off slow and steady, learning some SQL, learning some reporting and communication practices,
    then it goes into python and begins accelerating rapidly into advanced statistical concepts.

    Challenging & Rewarding Experience

    This bootcamp was jam-packed with so much information that is overwhelming at first but when you take a moment to thinking about it, it’s so amazing to realize the sheer amount of skills you learn, both hard and soft skills. All of the projects, group assignments, and experience working with industry partners made this a unique and impactful learning experience.

They also had a very good sense of awareness when it came to information overload, and would prompt a short break or lunch right when it was needed.

    What most stood out to me, consistently across the course, was the caliber of talent Brain Station brings on. Each instructor for my digital marketing course was both well qualified to lead the course and also generous in the time they took to lay it out using practical, real-world examples. They also invited everyone in the course to connect through LinkedIn and never hesitated to go the extra mile to teach or support when the need was there. Grade-A experience!

    The Brain Station Data Analytics course was really thorough and went into a lot of technical detail. As a PM, I now have a really good understanding of how to use SQL and Tableau, which helps me collaborate better with my data and engineering colleagues and understand more about where data comes from.
