    I recommend this course

    The course is very helpful, especially if you are new to the field. SQL part covers almost all you need to learn by yourself further. I'm glad I took that course. I got confidence in what I want, and I plan to move forward with Data Science Bootcamp. Overall experience is very positive; instructors are knowledgeable and helpful. They respond at any time, during and out of the class. The final project is a perfect challenge to apply all we have learnt—good practice-theory balance.

    Absolutely must PM course for any Product Manager

    The PM course led by Ekta and Khaled was excellent. I've learned a lot in these sessions; Real world examples were killers, thank you! I would recommend this course to any beginner to intermediate PMs; Very Focussed Learning Experience; we had an on-the-job-like learning experience. Khaled and Ekta also provided valuable feedback to the teams.

    Data Analytics Course

    This course id fast pace! it will be over before you know it. I took this course in Jan 2022 and I have learned a lot! 
    Which brings me to my second point. Don't ever feel overwhelmed! Although it is fast paced course and will cover a lot of topics, I never felt like the lecture was rushed or overwhelming, one of the reasons was because my instructor, Ryan, he is very knowledgeable, well-spoken and he won't move on to the next topic unless he is sure that everyone is up to speed.

    Data Analytics

    Overall my course in BrainStation exceeded my expectations. Even with my option of choosing the accelerated course (5 weeks rather than 10) I was able to comprehend and have enough time to grasp all of the information taught. This is thanks to the instructors. Both, the lead and assistant instructor, did great jobs with answering questions and ensuring everyone was on board and up to pace. I would highly recommend this course to expand knowledge and to get a jump start in the job market....

    Brainstation UX Certificate

    I had such a wonderful experience. I started this course with no background in UX, any sort of design or even tech, but gradually with the amazing guidance of the course instructors I was able to quickly understand different elements of design thinking, research, sketching, presentations etc. So happy that I made this decision.

    BrainStation rules!

    My experience at BrainStation has been phenomenal! The tech stack that they teach you throughout the program (React, Node, Express, MySQL, SASS) is extremely current and popular, but if you want to branch into using some other tools, the Capstone Project is extremely open ended and you are fully allowed to step outside of the tools and frameworks that they teach in the program. The quality of the curriculum was incredibly high and the education team was extremely skilled and helpful. I p...

    Web Development Bootcamp

    I'm a graduate of BrainStation's WebDev bootcamp in London.
    I loved the experience! It was really challenging, a lot tougher than I thought prior to starting, but definitely worth it.
    The instructors are knowledgable and approachable, the education support team was great and they have a very well structured career support programme too.
    I think the curriculum is very well thought out, totally relevant for the current industry standards and well taught.

    I really enjoyed the project based learning environment at BrainStation. The instructor allowed us to bring our own work project & ask questions with regards to our work outside of BrainStation, related to the lesson plan. Overall, the class went in depth with the units my only regret was not taking a digital marketing class prior to gain a deeper understanding of the topics.

    UX Design Part-Time Course at BrainStation.

    My experience at BrainStation was quite a nice surprise. Considering the 4 year University education that I am used to, BrainStation was quite refreshing as there was less emphasis on structure and more on learning. The class size was quite small about 13 people or so, this was great as you got to spend more time with each other and really get to know pretty much every student even though it was online.

    Good foundational course in data analytics

    I highly recommend this course for anyone who is looking to get into data/business analytics. It gives a great foundational overview of Excel, MySQL, and Tableau. There's a good mix of both theoretical and practical knowledge. There are labs and optional homework associated with each week's class, so you choose how much effort you want to put into it (although there is a pass/fail project at the end of the course). The most valuable part of the course is that you'll use these skills to c...

    Web Development

    The course is very fast paced, and it is a lot of self learning. Do not go into the course expecting answers to be handed to you. The educators provide you the toolset, but as a student, you need to take the initiative to actively research the topics that you don't understand. A hunger for knowledge and a love for problem solving, I think is very beneficial to succeed in the course.

    Great Introduction to the Cybersecurity world

    Brainstation's Cybersecurity course is an effective kickstarting course for anyone with little to 'zero' knowledge of the cybersecurity space. The instructors brought with them a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience which contributed to the overall learning experience. My sole critique (a side from not being able to do in-person learning) is the fact that the course is quite theoretical (think university) and I would prefer a more practical learning option (think college).
