    Really pleased with my choice in onboarding both Data Science and Data Analytics courses with Braisntation

    As a UXR professional at Meta, I am really happy for having taken both Data Science and Data Analytics courses at Brainstation. These provided me with invaluable skills that are directly applicable to my work. Being able to pull and arrange data efficiently has already saved me a significant amount of time and has greatly enhanced my analytical capabilities.

    Powerful and effective course!

    I took the Product Management course offered by BrainStation. I did it to formalize, strengthen, and develop my skills as I’m currently embarking in a junior product manager journey for my career. This course did not disappoint and it absolutely met all my expectation by granting me the required knowledge, practice, feedback, and in turn confidence to continue in this field. The instructors were phenomenal with real-life experience in the field. I definitely recommend this to anyone look...

    Challenging fast difficult

    I thought the BrainStation Data Analytics 8-week course was well done. Now that it's over I am glad we reviewed everything we did, but I will say that during the course, it felt like we were moving at lightning speed. I included this in my mid-course feedback, but think that during the course, I could have used more smaller, actionable pieces of homework, and ideally the opportunity to review them as a group (instead of just sending an answer key). The instructors were great and everyone...

    My instructors aurora and carlos help us throughout the whole process, the course gives you introductory knowledge of marketing and goes in depth into some of the topics. I found it especially helpful in the topics of google ads, analytics and SEO. The course also reviews topics like influencer marketing and social media.

    Brainstation.io Biased admission process and waste of time.

    I'm writing to express my disappointment with the recent outcome of my application for the UX Design bootcamp at Brainstorm.
    Despite completing all required tasks and receiving assurances about my submission's quality, I was informed of the rejection without explanation. Requests for feedback were denied, leaving me concerned about the fairness and transparency of your admission process.
    I urge you to review your protocols to ensure fairness and transparency for all applicants.

    A really good opportunity!

    If you have a little or some foundation in programming before, I highly recommend you to come to this bootcamp, although the course is very intense, but it can really give you a rough knowledge system in this short three months, together with those hands on projects, it will let you quickly understand the corresponding concepts and knowledge more efficiently than watching online tutorials to learn on your own.

    The Product Management course led by Guy Walker and George Odiana exceeded my expectations. Coming from a marketing background, I was brand new to this topic and slightly apprehensive about whether I would 'get it' and whether I could really succeed in an online course (it's been years since I've taken any kind of course, I was rusty).

    Coming from an Interior Design background with no experience in Software Engineering, this program was amazing. Although I have to admit this is not for beginners, a person needs to have at least some experience to fully absorb all the content due to the pace of the program! On the other hand, you learn to learn faster and not to fixate on what you do not know because EVERYTHING is reviewed.  I'm proud to say I have completed the Software Engineering Bootcamp and will continue my education...

    Rigorous and rewarding

    I completed the online part-time Software Engineering program over 8 months. The content and pacing were great! They don't call it a "bootcamp" for nothing. In the part-time program, you need to devote 40 hours per week; not easy when you already work 40+ hours per week. I would recommend this to anyone, but definitely would not do it again.

    Rigorous Path to Success

    I came into the online Full-Time Data Science Bootcamp at BrainStation with little to no code experience. From the start, the course was rigorous and thorough. Being stressed was an understatement and right away I was sure there was no way I could do this stuff (especially because many of my peers had coding experience). Fortunately, I worked hard and had amazing teachers that helped me get through the first week. Then again the following week, and the next. The program never got much ea...
