    Excellent intro to Product Management

    I've attended the Product Management course at Brainstation, London.
    The course was 8 weeks long, one evening per week.
    The instructors work in important companies as PMs, therefore very experienced and knowledgable.

    The course involves a final presentation about your product idea - expect to spend an extra two to three hours a week for this.
    During the class, students are provided with real industry examples as well as feedback and suggestions about their projects.

    Great instructors and fantastic insights on Data science

    I come from a technical background which helped me staying easily on track with this course. I would imagine that people starting from scratch might feel intimidated by the workload but it is definitely a very insightful course. I started the course knowing that communication with the instructors would be the essential part, so their availability to talk and answer questions was great and fundamental to get the most knowledge out of them.

    BrainStation is an excellent choice for software engineering students looking to up their skills and change their lives.

    Holistic, motivating, and community-oriented

    I took the 8-week online product management course at BrainStation Toronto. I left each class buzzing with excitement. The course is holistic, fairly comprehensive, and offers a sampling of the skills required in product management. Instructors are highly knowledgeable and provide examples from their jobs at Amazon and Capital One, which I found tremendously interesting and insightful.

    Intense, challenging, caring

    The period of the Bootcamp is short, just 12 weeks, and packed with tons of highly technical stuff - mainly machine learning models.  Almost every week we had assignments with not much time to work on.  But we learned the basis a data scientist today should know and how to go further by ourselves.  The educators spend as much time as possible outside the class to help us individually.  Also, the sense of community and networking - with classmates, other programs' students, educators, sch...

    Exceeded my expectations

    I was worried it was going to be like other courses i had taken before with a lot of lectures and little practice. Also, I had no experience with data analytics and wasn't sure if I was able to wrap my head around the topic. None of these happened. Instructors had lots of experience in the area and knew how to explain complex topics. All lessons had tons of practice exercises and collaboration among classmates was amazing. Never thought I was going to like it that much.
