    Great entry level course

    A really good intro level course into digital marketing. Great for anyone looking for their first exposure to the digital marketing space. Helped to introduce some new tools that I can bring back to my team at work.

    The weekend course is fast-paced but great. The facilitators told stories to further the learning and asked meaningful questions that deepened the teaching. I feel I have a foundation to start my career pivot.

    Detailed and Engaging

    A detailed course with engaging sessions from the instructors. We deep-dived into all things product management and touched upon many things like MVP, building a prototype, working in agile environments and more. It would be great to dive into more details like segments on Agile and Product Launch, as they are a prerequisite for PM jobs. While job assistance was not a part of the course, it was good to have the instructors talk more about how to break into the industry. It would be helpf...

    Amazing interactive experience

    Amazing course led by the best instructor - Scott. I felt supported throughout and learned so much about Product Management that I previously had not known about. Our instructor was always willing to help explain concepts further and provide examples whenever needed. The environment was also great since we were able to have a lot of interactive class time where we learned through and with our peers.

    Great, can be better

    I loved my Product management part-time program, I wish there was more time to deep dive into the case studies and refine them. The instructors were very knowledgeable and knew their stuff. The class was also small sized so it was easy to get to know everyone. I recommend this course if you are deciding if you want to pivot into product management but after the program, there is a lot more work to be done before you are ready to tackle the industry.

    Insightful and concise

    I definitely got what I needed out of this boot camp. The program went by very fast, as the instructors will caution you as early as the first lesson. I would definitely say to new students, if you want to get a big overview of the industry of Digital Marketing and all its disciplines, this is a great place to go. There is a LOT of subject matter, so the learning never stops once the course is done, and I would advise that you're probably going to benefit more if you're an older student ...

    Thankful to BrainStation & Instructors

    I took BrainStation’s UX Design course and I really liked it! It was an intensive class, where we learned about all areas of UX Design in 8 classes! The instructors, Rana and Riley, were very nice, provided real-life examples in our lectures (which I found the most helpful), and were always open to help us with any inquiries. Our commitment in this class was to attend the lectures, and to do our project. Halfway through the course, we submitted our project strategies, and on the last day...

    A Mixed Experience

    I think the Bootcamp had a nice structure with a lesson, live coding, and questions for each section that culminated in the final project. The professors did a great job of explaining the material even when it was a bit complicated and being patient to make sure everyone was following alone. However, since the class is very short and covers a wide range of material I think they should be more careful about who they are marketing the course towards and I feel like in general the marketing...

    Great intro to Web Dev

    I went from 0 Web Dev experience to having a solid CSS/HTML foundation that I can continue to build upon post-course. The instructors have past and current experience in the industry and were very patient when communicating the material. The projects allowed me to practice what I had learned in class and built well upon each other. If you want to learn some Web Dev but don't know where to start, this could be a great option for you!

    A great first time experience with Brainstation

    The Product Management course I completed, was the first bit of training I have done in a while. The Brainstation environment is very vibrant, inspiring and collaborative which made my experience a very good one. 

    I feel gaining exposure to industry experts makes the whole learning experience more realistic, rather than hearing from academics in the area who don't have hands on work experience.
