    Highly qualified instructors - very good information

    The pace was rigorous for a class with no prerequisites. The instructors were world class with a wealth of knowledge.  I would have appreciated some supplemental reading assignments in between classes so I could keep up with the class better. Again, the class itself was excellent, but the caliber of students wasn't what I was expecting. Unfortunately, many of my classmates did not participate fully in the weekly classes and they did not complete the final project - this reduces the value...

    Data Analytics Course

    I really liked the course though felt that if more time would be spend on concepts and practice it could help us tackle real world situations, especially Tableau, being a very powerful visualization tool if we had more classes to go over techniques that would surely come in handy at our workplace

    Good course but not enough focus on (organic) strategies and best practices

    In my opinion, this course spent too much time on paid content and demonstration of ad manager backends, and rushes through organic content and strategies. I wish there was more time spend on budgeting, and how to actually apply the concepts. It gives you real world examples but I wish there was some sort of homework given during the course with short feedback from the instructors, and more in class discussions or thought experiments during the lessons, so there would be a more practical...

    This bootcamp exceeded my expectations. I am a recent graduate from the software engineering program and have yet to be fully immersed in the job market and the industry, but I still highly rate the program itself. I could not think of many ways they could have done more for us during these 12 weeks. From the guest industry speakers, nice NYC campus location, dedicated educators, and impressive organization and structure, I'm glad I took this leap of faith. The cost is about what I would...

    Great product management course

    I have just finished the Product Management Course and I really enjoyed it. The instructors were great and because this is the area they work in, they could relate it to an every day, real world example. I would have preferred to have my strategy feedback earlier than 2 days before I was due to do my final project presentation, but it didn't affect it that much. It was just a few tweaks. Other than that, I really enjoyed it. Instructors and fellow students were great

    Product Management evening course

    I took an 8-week evening course in Product Management to up-skill in my collaboration with product managers as a product designer. I found the course to be a great introduction to the key topics of product management, yet provided indepth knowledge about the profession that I wasn't even aware of from my day-to-day as a designer.

    I felt like the instructors were very thorough and really cared about if we understood the coursework. When they could tell that I was confused about something, they would help troubleshoot personally or offer to go over problems via slack outside of class. I really appreciated that they had industry experience and were able to offer insights on career questions, not just technical questions.

    A Mixed Experience in BrainStation's Data Analytics Course

    BrainStation's Data Analytics course featured valuable content and a well-structured syllabus. The topics covered included analyzing data using Excel, SQL, and visualizing data using Tableau, providing me with the necessary knowledge and skills for data analytics. However, for those without a data analytics background, the fast pace of the course, limited by the time allocated for teaching all topics, hindered in-depth teaching and exploration of certain concepts.

    I took the digital marketing course in May - June 2023. It was a 3 hour course each week in person with two facilitators for a duration of 7 classes. I felt it was nice taking it in person and asking facilitators questions. It was just scratching the surface with marketing. We were required to complete a course project and complete it on time.  I did find it challenging working in a group.
