Fantastic Experience. Prior to coming to Wyncode, I had been following the self-study route. However, I knew from past educational experiences that I was more of a classroom learner, so I chose to attend Wyncode, and I don't regret it. Wyncode and Auston took me from a hobbyist level of understanding, to a web developer with several web applications under my belt. The curriculum is difficult, and at times you will be frustrated, but like with any new skill, its all about practice and conti...
Fantastic Experience. Prior to coming to Wyncode, I had been following the self-study route. However, I knew from past educational experiences that I was more of a classroom learner, so I chose to attend Wyncode, and I don't regret it. Wyncode and Auston took me from a hobbyist level of understanding, to a web developer with several web applications under my belt. The curriculum is difficult, and at times you will be frustrated, but like with any new skill, its all about practice and continuing to push yourself learn outside of class and after your cohort.
Auston was an excellent teacher, and cares about our success. He continues to assist me, daily, lol. He is an invaluable source of knowledge and a great mentor. Sure, there were lectures that felt like a grind but Auston and the T.A.'s always made themselves available to help, whether in person or on Slack, a communication tool utilized widely in the industry. The mentorship the staff provides is invaluable. Their advice has helped me grow not only as a developer but as a professional, as well.
Wyncode stresses an iterative philosophy- through feedback sessions each week they tailor the program according to criticism and suggestions from the students themselves. If a particular teaching method didn't work for you, speak up, as the team will work to make accomodations for you quickly and genuinely. This adaptive nature is one that I was greatly impressed by.
I believe there is validity to some of the criticisms found on sites like this. As part of my due diligience I researched the hell out of the school, contacting alumni, going through reviews on coursereport, reddit etc. This is a process I highly recommend, as attendance is an investment, not only of money but your time. It is key to note that as part of Wyncode's iterative ethos, many of the criticisms found on CourseReport are addressed and considered by staff. In fact, during my time in the course I noticed modifications thatl likely made my experience better than what a previous student's testimonial reported.
Web Development, Programming, coding are difficult trades. You will have nights where you stare at your screen frustrated beyond belief. Don't let the mantra "anyone can learn to code" let you get lazy. Keep pushing yourself to be better. However, know that in attending Wyncode, you've joined a supportive community of developers, all more than willing to help solve any questions or issues you may come across in the field.
As far as the job hunt goes- Know that you're trying to get into the industry as a person on the ground floor. Accept that your lack of work experience will be noted in applications and on interviews. This means that for every project you are assigned during your cohort you need to give it your all, as these will be the first works in your portfolio. These projects will give you something to talk about with potential employers. GO TO THE NETWORKING EVENTS. Not just for potential work opportunities, but to practice talking about yourself and your development career. This practice has helped me considerably in interview settings.
All in all, Wyncode was an excellent introduction to Programming, and It gave me the momentum I needed to keep developing my skills. Know that this is a field where you are expected to learn new languages, technologies, etc. Wyncode can't teach them all to you, but you really do "learn how to learn", a valuable skill that employers look for.
p.s.
Before you start, I will recommend that you take some intro courses on programming, be it on Codecademy, CodeSchool etc. These will greatly help, and will help you decide if programming is for you. Also, do your research!!
Hi everyone,
I'm a recent grad of the UX Design Full Time program at Brainstation. Overall this program was a great life-changing experience that exceeded my expectations. Friendly staff, nice facilities, great location, and an environment where you really feel at home during and even after the course is over. They really do keep you in the family long after the course is over.

Hi everyone,
I'm a recent grad of the UX Design Full Time program at Brainstation. Overall this program was a great life-changing experience that exceeded my expectations. Friendly staff, nice facilities, great location, and an environment where you really feel at home during and even after the course is over. They really do keep you in the family long after the course is over.
Pros:
-Staff is friendly and always there to help
-Lectures are thorough and easy to understand
-Building is clean and usually stacked with plenty of snacks, fruit, and drinks
-They throw good parties
Cons:
-Feedback could have been more direct (I can take it)
-More time and lectures could be allotted to porfolio building as that is what gets you your job when its over (I heard that this was updated in the next cohort)
Overall, I had a great time at Brainstation. I left fully prepared to start working in UX, and what more can you expect from a 10 week program?
For those who are concerned about "will I get a job", you will get a job if you are worth hiring. Seriously, if you think a 10 week program will magically get you a job just cause you paid some money you are dilusional. You will get a job because you work hard, learn, network, and excel. This program puts you in an environment where you can do that, but its really up to you. Trust me, everyone who worked hard in this class got a job, thats all it is.
