    Strong and organised learning method for a short course

    I took the Data Science course with focus on programming with Python and, from the start I found interesting the way Brainstation had everything well organised even before the course started. There's a lot of information and preparation material available online. The staff and instructors are always very helpful and enthusiastic about our learning process, with easy communication in and out of the classroom.

The faculty and staff were incredibly supportive and went above and beyond to ensure that I had everything I needed to succeed.

    Great instructors and a great class

    The 10-week data analytics class at Brain Station was a great resource in expanding my data analysis skill set. The class is taught by industry professionals that were able to provide real-world examples and explain use cases for what we were learning in class. The instructors are clearly experts and did a great job of breaking down complex data analysis tools into easy-to-digest content.

    A Wholesome Experience

    I didn't realise when I first got into this course, that there would be so much I would gain from it. The tutors were awesome and had a great way of teaching that you don't realise the information actually stays with you. I found the experience refreshing and so rewarding. With so many new skills learnt from the UX Design course, I feel it has helped prepare me for the future.

    Good bootcamp, tough market

    I graduated BrainStation's bootcamp in September 2022 and felt I was taught enough to teach myself the remaining fundamentals of front end web development. The 12 week window was too short to fit a true full stack bootcamp and backend suffered due to that. However, I did gain the skills to figure out the missing pieces post bootcamp.

    Sweeping, Energetic, Open-Minded,

    The course involved a lot of material. However, it would have helped me to have a syllabus with optional readings of books, articles, and such that would allow me to get even deeper to the subject. I also have not had much of a sense of networking/job advisory that I thought would be a part of this. But the teachers did a very good job of presenting the material in context.

    Fast paced, engaging overview of UX

    I took the UX Course (not bootcamp)
    This was a great 8-week condensed course that walks you through the principles and processes of User Experience Design.
    I had an existing understanding of UX and was hoping to round out some of my hard skills. This is not required but I felt that some familiarity with the content was helpful in getting the most out of the experience!

    The course was packed with tons of information and resources for each section. Both instructors have a lot of work experience and it shows in their examples, and the way they teach. I really enjoyed the course and would be willing to enroll in another, in the future. The final project was beneficial to my job, so that was useful and a nice way to show off the skills learned.
