    Amazing Experience

    Being a student at BrainStation was a great experience. Over the course of three months, I learned so much and got to demonstrate these skills through all of my projects. The educators and staff at BrainStation was very helpful and supportive. The cohort as well was so great - every student was friendly and a pleasure to collaborate with :)

    This course was very intense and if you don’t have the time for it you should not do it. However, this course was incredibly formative and a great way for me to start of my data science career.

    Instructors are nice/experienced and you get the experience of multiple hands-on lab activities while getting solutions and feedback. You would need to complete project which is not difficult based on the content of the course.

    5 week accelerated UX Design Course at BrainStation, Toronto ON

    I recently graduated from the 5 week accelerated UX Design Course at BrainStation. Although the course was intense, I learned a lot and feel confident building out real Case Studies to supplement my Design Portfolio. Through hands-on workshops, I was able to hone my skills and have things, "click" I feel I have a blueprint for success and this was the best way to start my UX Design experience.

    Insightful Fun Quick

    This online class was informative at a pace that suited my schedule and needs. Personally, I am a visual learner, so the slides and additional links were helpful as a reference once the class was over. It was great having a guest lecturer from Facebook as well as opportunities to attend related events both in person and online. The final project was a group project, which can be challenging with fellow in different time zones and with various obligations, but we used Slack to help us coo...

    Good, not great

    Teachers are really good, friendly, and very helpful. The courses gives you an okay understanding of what a product manager does. However, if you are looking to get into product management without any previous experience it might not be the best idea. The course does not help you with interview prep or skills to the extent where after taking the course you will be able to become a product manager - unless you have previous dev / design experience.

    BrainStation overall was an amazing experience that really shined through the quality of instructors and staff, and their willingness to help their students. I was very fortunate to receive teachers and the extended career team who cared so much about our success.

    An intensive bootcamps with great community

    I participated in an intensive full-time UX Design bootcamp. For the duration of the 3-month program, we were challenged significantly and had to put our personal lives on hold. The first week was a bit concerning since we were placed into groups and meant to create an app concept in 1 week (a sprint) with little guidance. It turns out that it was meant to challenge us and take us through a mini version of the entire program in 1 week, and we would eventually learn how to do things the r...

    Great way to upskill.

    This course was a great way to upskill yourself if you have some experience, or looking to continue your learning. I found some classmates who had no expertise struggled with MySQL understanding. It is designed for beginners but some of the advanced ideas can be hard to understand. I do wish there was more outside-the-classroom help because there are only 10 classes trying to get answers to a specific question or multiple questions means that you have to wait until that class when you ar...

    My brainstation experience has been amazing overall. 
    The instructor used everyday examples in discussions to drive the points home. 
    The instructor has been approachable throughout the duration of the course which makes it a bit easier especially when you’re stuck.  He is/was constructive regarding feedback related to projects. I feel  more confident going out into the tech world after my course.
