    Extremely Rewarding

    I cannot say enough good things about the Brainstation Digital Marketing Certificate course. So much knowledge is packed into this bootcamp that I know will be useful in my future career endeavours. I truly feel like I have a high level understanding of several of the components taught in this course. I was pushed out of my comfort zone multiple times throughout the group-work exercises and final project. The instructors are very thorough, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I do think ...

    Successful UX Design Course!

    I am fairly happy with the results and outcome of this course, although my only concern would be being able to download the resources so we can have for future reference. Overall, it was a great experience and time well spent learning. Instructors were really great and helpful in many ways!

    Software Engineering Bootcamp at BrainStation

    I enrolled in BrainStation's software engineering BootCamp with high expectations due to its renowned reputation in the industry. The course has been enjoyable overall, but there are notable aspects that could be improved.

    The quality of the experience seems heavily dependent on the instructors. Unfortunately, I've faced challenges in understanding and navigating the course due to inconsistencies in teaching styles. This being my first BootCamp, I'm unsure if this is a...

    This class was very informative, for the digital marketing class, all I would say is being more practical, with not just the teaching, but incorporating teaching with the practical. Karen Yu was an incredible lecturer as well at Brainstation.

    Great Educators, Great Resources

    I just graduated from the September 2023 cohort. There were three excellent primary educators and 3 TAs for around 35-40 students. The curriculum is excellent, but expect a genuinely lightning pace! I had a wonderful experience, but I had a little bit of experience going in, and had no other commitments. I would hesitate to recommend it if you have other commitments, and would highly encourage having at least some beginner knowledge before enrolling, but if you're genuinely excited about...

    Extremely supportive Bootcamp

    I was extremely impressed with the ability to modify the curriculum as best they could based on my personal learning disability. The instructors and Ta's were supportive and available to help as much as I needed. What I would hope is that they can have some type questionnaire to find out if the student has a learning disability like adhd to be able to tailor the curriculum to the students need for them to be successful.

    I started knowing only basic HTML and CSS, and now I know how to build full-stack applications that can be deployed on the internet. I am grateful for the support the BrainStation staff provided, mainly through open studio and various help and review sessions to help me fully understand the content I was being taught.

    BrainStation’s Software Engineering course has far exceeded my expectations of what a bootcamp can do for its students. Over the course of 12 weeks, I learned more than I possibly could have imagined, with incredible support from my educators, TAs, and CAP coach. Working on real industry projects has helped me gain a good overview of what working in the field will be like.
