    Amazing experience

    The course was thorough and the instructors were brilliant in their teachings. They shared how things work in a real-life PM job.
    It would be better if there was more assistance from BrainStation on the job hunt process or connecting to the hiring partners.

    informative, practical but relatively heavy

    I had a good experience with the Digital Marketing course. The instructors are nice and dedicated. The lessons are practical, helpful and informative. However, there's a lot of information to digest in 3 hours so it felt a little overwhelming at times. If you take time reviewing the materials, you will develop good knowledge for digital marketing.

    Great Experience

    It was a great 8 weeks. Andrea is amazing instructor and I love how she brings her own professional experience often. This helps understand the material better. I wish it was a little longer and a bit more in-depth. It felt like we were flying through some classes and had to cut short some amazing conversations and debates we had. Maybe 10 weeks length worked better? But overall great experience and I'm glad  I was able to do it in person.

    Social Media Marketing Course Brainstation

    This marketing course was very interesting to take. The material was easy to understand so much so that I felt like I knew most of it with some basic google searching. If I had to break it down 60% I knew about social media and 40% I did not. While this is true I think it helps with myself to know that the research I was looking up was true. What I like is the accelerated course aspect. I learned material in a month that would probably take a whole college semester which I believe is abo...

    A great first step into web development

    The online web development course at BrainStation was a great way to start my education in this field of study. The educators took their time to explain the essential concepts of web development and also made time to help anyone that needed more help. The interactive aspect was great as it helped me to address anything I didn't understand right away and avoid any confusion and frustration. I also enjoyed the ability to attend class from the comfort of my own home. It was very convenient....

    The Brainstation is a great foundation to be introduced to the topic or to entrepreneurs. Covers all topics from SEO to social media. Good for people who never worked in marketing. DO not take this course if you are already working in the field. I like the brainstation vibe overall. Great learning opportunity.

    This bootcamp was extremely enjoyable, tough and rewarding.

    Lots of lessons, advice, coaching and support.  We were assigned a LOT of work and we were each pushed to our individual limits – our teachers were determined to get the most out of us.  But we were motivated, due to the camaraderie and support.

    At the start of the course, I thought I would fail because I wouldn't be able to work hard enough.  But I was given lots of support, and the environme...
